1950 Watchtower Bound Volume now Complete!

by Atlantis in

the 1950 september 15th watchtower is now complete and this will finish the 1950 watchtower bound volume.

a big thank you to jaydee for all of his hard work of scanning the watchtowers into jpg files which i received and converted into pdf files and made them searchable.

jaydee worked day and night to get these files finished for us and i really appreciate his kindness... we only had to darken out one name on one shipping label.

Pardon my ignorance , but what is the point of producing all these bound volumes ? from years ago !?

The excuse of J.W.`s is , it does not matter what was printed years ago , that`s " old truth " what we have now currently is the "new truths " because the light gets brighter every day

Jehovah`s Witnesses are not interested in what was published years ago , it is only what the G.B. is saying today that counts.

And in a couple of years time that wont count either , because their will be new revelations , new truths to be considered .

I hope all your hard work has not been in vain , maybe I`m missing something , clue me in .

Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?

by smiddy in

romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

matt.

4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

smiddy

Is their a get out of jail card clause with obeying or not obeying Rom. 13 : 1-7 ?

And if so where is it ? What scripture ?

My understanding of the above text is to obey the Superior Authorities because they are placed in their relative positions by Jehovah , and to disobey them , the Superior Authorities , you are going against the arrangement of Jehovah because he put this system in place.

If you are not doing bad deeds , then comply with the Superior Authorities

If you are doing bad deeds , be in fear of the Superior Authorities .

Because it is Jehovah`s avenger.

Bloodless Medicine....not all its cracked up to be.

by Lee Elder in

this is a pretty good example of the limitations of "bloodless medicine", and why the informed choice should always be "blood conservation" medicine, which retains the safety net of blood transfusion when medically required.

sadly, the watchtower fails to inform jws regarding these important limitations, and their potentially disastrous consequences.. http://www.dailyreportonline.com/id=1202750028414/jury-awards-100k-to-family-of-jehovahs-witness-who-died-after-refusing-blood-transfusion?mcode=0&curindex=0&curpage=3&slreturn=20160118223352.

The Medical Profession respects the wishes of the patient when treating her and she dies ,then the family sues the Medical Profession ? And they win ?

Their is something drastically wrong with the system when that happens.

Notable changes of the JWs org, in the last five years or so

by glenster in

i've been updating the links at my web site and i'm working on the gtjbrooklyn pages now.

what would you say are the several biggest changesin the jws organization/rules in the last five years or so?

smiddy

The dumbing down of the religions publications .

The idolatrous aspect of JW.ORG

The constant begging for money.

Exulting the G.B.members to the " Faithful Discreet Slave Class"

Embracing the Internet

Embracing TV Evangelism

Vin Toole , G. Jackson , caught out lying under oath at the A.R.C ,( yet to see if any charges are laid against them.)

This is Just getting Ridiculous and out of hand with the Borg

by MrsR-Awaken in

jw
friends

saw this on reddit it was posted by user morgan_sparlock .

to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!

its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

smiddy

Aren`t their copyright laws against this sort of thing ? unless of course the W.T. has sanctioned this for a cut of the profits.

Lets face it , 8 million J.W.`s plus their relatives who are fringe dwellers , those that only attend the memorial once a year , another 10 million or so , a cut of the profits is not a bad business tactic.

Why haven`t Marvel Comics or whoever made a movie about Captain Marvel ?, when I was a kid I enjoyed comics about him more than I did about Superman , and I did like him also.

A kid on crutches that uttered the word SHAZAM and he became Captain Marvel to fight all manner of evil.like Sylvania ?

Baptised younger

by Sabin in

so why do you think the borg is encouraging youngsters to get dunked sooner?

i reckon it's cause they are easy to victimise.

i mean, some-one could say, keep our secret, nobody will believe you & god wont love you, but think of the power they would have if they say "you will be disfellowshipped," on top.

smiddy

I don`t know that youngster`s getting baptized is such a bad thing as I previously did.

Think about it .

Pre-teens have a lot to contend with growing up as we all know , hormones , puberty ,etc.etc.,you know the deal .

They are going to make mistakes , because of immaturity etc. , and fall foul of of the Elders and be brought before a JC committee , and are either DF , or marked as a bad association , or reproved .and they are children .

Any parent with any sense of responsibility for their child should know this is an insane policy that needs to be addressed .

That could be a wake up call , not only to the child but also their parents .

Who in their right mind expects children to behave like adults., apart from Jehovah`s Witnesses of course .

Hopefully they will wake up that this is a controlling cult , that requires absolute obedience , not to GOD , but to the Governing Body of imperfect humans.standing in the place of GOD.
