Why is it I am reminded of an even worse "mind set" than that as displayed by most JW's when I come across such posts as yours TP?
And if a "attitude of regret" is not present in the one? What then TP?
why is it so many lay the blame on god for the appointment of elders?
read your bibles!
it is the anointed amongst you that are to appoint elders, but the anointed are to judge!

i read this atricle recently that sums up rather nicely why the watchtower stance on blood transfusions is innaccurate and deadly.. please read this for information before taking your position on the issue & i would welcome any comments:.
jehovahs witnesses.
twisting the scriptures on blood.
ONE last try to show a simple point. WHAT I PERSONALY DO HAS NO BEARING!
The punishment for eating blood is "CUTTING OFF"!
The punishment for eating "dead" meat is uncleanness till evening!
The post was WRONG that started this thread!
What, when, where, and why YOU eat is your concern and your concience!
What, when, where, and why you prescribe to specific medical treatments is YOUR choice!

Bang;
The point, which I think you missed entirely was about the idea of the passage changed. It became a different circumstance and so not of the same punishment. ?hmmmm
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.
russell explained his "enlightenment" like this:.
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. 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.
God's Kingdom by His Anointed is a GOVERNMENT!
NOT a religion!
Just start oiling up your "wine skin", because some of these "insights" are gonna turn your insides out! Yes, many other religions have had the gift of Anointed ones in their understanding of truth. You can see the influence through out history amongst the religions. There is so much more to this story,,, and it is gonna take time to tell and to get it all verified and ratified by others of the Calling.

russell explained his "enlightenment" like this:.
Using the 2 words insight and Anointed this is what I found from the WT CD i now have.
WT 1998 2/15 P7
WT 1987 7/1 P10
WT 1981 3/1
WT 1970 11/15
The anointed remnant of "people who are knowing their God" have been the ones
that have prevailed, and this due to having insight.
BOOK Daniel's Prophecy 1999 chpt. 17 P 11
BOOK Daniel's Prophecy 1999 chpt. 18 P 7
Am still doing research, but it is interesting how little is found. ?!
As I have talked with several of the Anointed, and most of them knew less than I did about the how's and why's of the "insight" being given and how it got out to the people at large. If I remember correctly there is something published about "the Anointed to keep on writing in their letters of insight" to the GB. Havent found it ,,, yet. What I do know personaly of the operation of the gift of insight I'll share in another thread. Personaly I think the GB is corrupted and with out insight, yet many outside of the JW's have this gift and we all seem to "know" pretty much the same things.

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.
As with most that use the UNTRANSLATED word antichrist in all of its great "mystique". It simply means "all those against the Anointed". You would think somebody would get that simple word deception correct by now?
Look at the world! Before most of you were born the US caused "sanctions" so that countries could not buy or sell with out their aproval. They then gave this power and authority over to the UN to sanction countries so none may buy nor sell with out their demonocracy ways! (just a slight punny) The mark of the beast and 616 do corelate,,,

Jay;
QUOTED "--"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"--, but having said that, I don't feel in the least bit that I will be judged by the Yaweh of the Bible.
You are correct in your feeling that you wont be judged by YHWH. No, that job has been relegated to someone much lower in the judgement chain. *smiles in his best take a number way* You quote words of man yet you don't even fully understand their own implications of you. That ones with your heart would never get into a possition of judging with in His government, I thank the Creator every day!
Yes, Jay, many will make it! But their attitudes will be far different than what you display in your sumation of the Creator.
When I look into a mirror? I see a person I never thought possible to become! Still not perfect, but isn't perfection a direction? I choose to keep going!
for the most part, we have all come from the same place, a place that we have left.
some have become a member of a mainstream protestant religion.
some have become atheists.
In agreement with Larc;
Yet the responsibility for having deceived so many and so many inteligent ones belongs to Lucifer and his helpers. He was to mislead the entire world and if possible even the Anointed!
Fortunatly God didn't put all of His Anointed in one religion!
Nor does He put all His eggs in one basket. *grins*
What is even better Larc? That the kind of help most need is JUSTNESS and that is what the Anointed can deliver! With the gifts of the Spirit they CAN make a difference IF THEY ARE CONTACTED and asked to help! Does anyont really think God would say to follow His Anointed and then not have them there and ready to lead and help? Duh?
Like another poster uses the quote;
Contact the A-nointed team!

,,,and again ALL THIS CRAP ABOUT 666 ! ! !
Thanks for those that have responded thus far with just "I don't know about 616."
616 can be broke down as such
500 = D
100 = C
16 is the original adress of the whitehouse
Just a funny I worked out after I discovered that the oldest manuscripts contain 616 NOT 666

russell explained his "enlightenment" like this:.
Many years ago I, as Paul did, discovered that those "pillers of faith" of the GB didnt want to hear any more "insight". They wanted to do as they saw fit! Now you see the results of the deception. Well, they can be deceived all they want. As it is now the WWW that allows those with the Anointing and insights to gather and discuss what they are "knowing".
Who needs all those corporate headaches? Hell people, rent the community centers of your towns if you need to meet with the Anointed localy!
Wasn't it about 1985 that the last of the GB that were Anointed got removed or DF'd?
