  What makes the GB different?

  what makes the gb different than other wt members?.

  this seems to suggest that because the wt has told you some truth they are worthy of your complete confidence that everything they say is the truth.

  Hello Plmkrzy;
  Yes, it does sound like she has the attitude of the Called Ones. An aspect you may not know about her is that she is fully capable of ending ones life herself when and if it is necessary. As it is with ALL those Anointed. There is much more to this story, and I hope to get it out and discussed as I think this will bring unity to all concerned with the rest of the story about the Anointed and their insights. And the thread is up.

  If Adam Had Not Sinned........

  by stevieb1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the ways the wt tries to get you into believing you are not going to heaven even if you d not have faith in christ is by saying that if adam had not sinned we would all be living in a paradise earth.

  the publication "reasoning from the scriptures" states on page 162: "it wa not jehovah's original purpose for man someday to die.......death was to be punishment for disobedience, not the doorway to a better life in heaven.

  obedience would have ben rewarded by continued life, eternal life, in the paradise that god had given to man.

  You may also look at in the over all big picture so to speak. Then it may make more sense.

  This testing of the human race as to it's competance to judge the "angels" is very well excelerated by that "seed" of wrong doing we have in our hearts. We are "self testing" for the most part. As easy as it is to deceive an inocent child were Adam and Eve by our "testors".

  Just a thought on it. *grins*

  THE ABSOLUTE WORST CONGREGATION EVER

  by You Know in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  to put things in perspective in relation to the pathetic and sordid trivial gossip of those whom i affectionately call: the phallic-worshipping accursed children of the apostasy, by far the worst, most problem-filled congregation that has ever existed, anywhere, anytime, was the corinthian congregation.

  you name the problem---they had it.

  you want shocking salacious sexual scandal?

  ,,, I am reminded of the words, "get out while the gettin is good!" or was it "get out of her my people if you do not want to share in what is coming down." ,,, any way words to that effect.

  I agree, if the water is muddy, don't drink!
  If the food is bland and with out salt, don't eat.

  Norval, and some good posts here I think.

  What makes the GB different? or MADE?!

  by ElijahTheThird in

  2. beliefs

  that there is no explination given by the gb is rather odd in and of it's self i would say.

  all i can offer is my own understanding of how, and what i have learned in 30 years of having "insight".

  this hasn't been easy as the gb has made it so.

  All I can offer is my own understanding of HOW, and what I have learned in 30 years of having "insight". This hasn't been easy as the GB has made it so. For many decades it has been that if the Anointed ones were known to be meeting they were kicked out! But by meeting we discovered that when insight about something came to one it was given to all others at the same time. BECAUSE we talked with each other we learned this. We know that these insights can come from the words of another, in a dream, into your mind as a thought or along with emotions to enhance the insight. It is because we can now talk using the WWW and discuss these insights and VERIFY them along with researching scripture to make sure that we can release these insights confidently to any and all.

  This has been the way of it for the past 2000 years. It is no wonder that many of the "insights" that were wrote in to the GB were never published. Many of the known "truths" that have been given over the centuries through ALL the religions is still not collected together and understood fully. But the greatest of those that received these "insights of truth" were the Anointed of the JW's THAT WERE ACTUALLY RECOGNIZED! Also, they were quite aparently SOLD OUT! AGAIN!

  There are TESTS as to WHO is and has the Anointing. They are outlined in the bible and are easy to see. Yet the JW's GB have not DONE what the bible teaches about this!
  PARTAKING
  Those with the Calling should partake as often as they gather! NOT once a year! Ones that are "unworthy" are MADE SICK! YOU can easily recognize those that are and those that are IMPOSTERS! BUT only if you partake "as often as you gather"!
  GATHERING
  Those with this Anointing as it is called by the JW's are to GATHER together! WHY? So that they can discuss and exchange these insights to verify and ratify them! It is also another way of IDENTIFYING them! Yet as stated before if they attempt to gather and talk amongst themselves they are DF'd

  IF! If these are the end times, last days, then read what it says that there WOULD BE many amongst the people with INSIGHT and WISDOM! NOT getting fewer! Deception by MISDIRECTION!

  How many of you have felt in your hearts a "tug or pull" to seek out your destiny? How many of you have felt the need to respond to a "calling", or to a "gathering"?!? How many still have wine skins that can take "new wine", the rest of the story that you haven't heard! The insight of the gathering uncensored.
  P.S. Sorry for the long discourse, not realy my style.

  Actually it is an argument only of religions, not realy of much concern.

  The "sacrifice" was duly made and the ransom paid.

  What he was impaled upon isn't the point, (pardon the pun) be it an
  X, or an T, or an t, or an l.

  by ElijahTheThird in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we have all heard all the crap about 666, now does anyone have any conjecture or idea about 616?

  i have only heard of one possible conclusion to this so far.

  616 is generaly found in the oldest manuscripts.

  why is it so many lay the blame on god for the appointment of elders?

  it is the anointed amongst you that are to appoint elders, but the anointed are to judge!

  TP a mind set such as yours isn't worth the effort to attempt to discuss anything with. Enjoy your old wine skin, and I will enjoy the new wine.

  john is asked if he is the christ, he replies no, then he is asked if he is the prophet, he replies no.

  Even today the Jews set a place for Elijah the prophet in certain ceremonies that is due to return before the Mesiah. Jesus said that John the Baptist was this "Elijah" that was destined to come. Jesus also said that we are to expect another before his return. There are many passages in the bible about this. John didnt do all that the Prophet is supposed to do. As the Deciples were looking for the Prophet at the Time Jesus showed up, we today shold possibly be looking for one?

  Just a thought.

  Hypocrisy Within My Own Family

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.

  asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.

  trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.

  *chuckles* not even a few hours go by and you pop a cork because of no posts? Thats a bit short fused isn't it? Hell it was a good post, informative, and well wrote. What would many respond with?

  I think the key word for these times is ENDURANCE. But that might take a bit of patience too. *grins*
