Had he been a Jehovah`s Witness the world would have missed out on so much.
He would never have been able to acheive what he did in his lifetime.

in the august broadcast, david splane is shown in a morning worship video.
i just wanted to focus on the end of the video, were he has this to say:.
the governing body loves to get together and discuss the bible.
sparky 1 , that`s funny.
these are of early '70s vintage, i recall.
my job was to sort through thousands of these and be sure they were not "off register.".
.
By the way I do remember that calendar , I could be wrong but I don`t ever remember children being baptised as happens today , and certainly not depicted in that art work.

.
Speaking of the Elder arrangement CC , I seem to recall that The "Aid To Bible Understanding " was released about that same time yet the subject of Elder was not in it.
It puzzled me a lot back then.
i was alerted to the presence of jws in my street, so i grabbed my voice recorder and placed it by the front door.
several minutes later there was a knock, i pressed "record" and opened the door to two jw women.
the recording below runs for 25 minutes.
Thanks for that Mr Monroe , it was an interesting recording.It`s always hard to know off the cuff what are the best questions to put to JW`s when they unexpectedly call at your door
However , you did well , and as you said caught them out with some evasiveness
I don`t know that i would have agreed with them about the Trinity. Genesis says that adam and Eve would have become like us , Who was he referring to ? and with the KI translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures in John 1:1 the word for word translation by the WT " In the beginning was the word and the word was God." not " a" God
I know it`s alright for me to say this in hindsight , how good would I have done been put on the spot.? not good.
One last thing is John 3:16 , a well known scripture that often gets overlooked
"For God LOVED the WORLD so much that he gave his only begotten son in order that EVERYONE EXERCISING FAITH in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life " NWT
And Jehovahs Witnesses do not have the monopoly on Gods Love. God loved the WORLD of MANKIND not only/just Jehovah`s Witnesses.

Splanes talk speaks volumes to me. Their is no Holy Spirit ,Jehovah`s direction , or any input from the King Of Kings , Jesus Christ in any of their new light revelations .
And has not ever been for the past 140 years.
What he is saying is that a bunch of guys get together , using there own brain to rationalise the scriptures to fit their failed past directions/explanations where the scriptures should lead us , to the new interpretation of those same scriptures making sure that they don`t conflict with our previous directions /explanations of those scriptures we made.
Holy Spirit , Divine revelations ,Angelic direction , has nothing at all to do with New Light announcements .
They are no different from any other Organised Religion Christian or otherwise .
not seen this before, or at least haven't registered it before.
maybe it's just a traditional style?.
i mean it's basically a glorified cattle trough?
I remember going to a convention in the 1960`s in Bendigo where a baptism was held in a lake , not a tub.
without going into details.
it appears that new light might be coming down the pipes that beards are acceptable.
Illustrations in the WT publications always show Jehovah , Jesus , Angels , and the 144000 as all having beards, even though many of the 144000 are women.
i don't know what the membership increase is like here but over at reddit their getting 20 plus newbies daily if not more.
it's crazy how much thier growing 2000 or more since i signed up and that wasn't that long ago.
looks like the loyalty conventions didn't stem the tide.
If it`s true , great , if its just wishful thinking ? great , but heading in that right direction.
Time will tell.
very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.
on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.
(around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.
If that doesn`t ring a red flag to a practicing Jehovah`s Witness as to what a cult is I don`t know what will.
That is embarrassing beyond belief.
If I was still a member of this religion , I would be ashamed at the antics displayed at this convention by Elders ? ministerial Servants ? responding to a person objecting to their beliefs.
In the old days they just turned a blind eye and ignored it , and it went away .
This video has just highlighted how cultish the Jehovah`s Witnesses are in their response to those who differ from their point of view.
