  Does GB 2.0 Have The Guts To Publish A Book On Revelation?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so we all know that the old revelation book is "old light" and the gb would like to sweep it under the rug.

  however, since they have been reinterpreting many of the parables from the gospels, many jws are confused as to how it all fits in with the book of revelation.

  plus, they have been emphasizing the nearness of the end and the gt.

  Why stop at the book of Revelation , ?" Grand Climax".....

  How about the book of Daniel , ? :Your Will Be done On Earth"

  And the book of Ezekiel ?

  to name a few , I`m sure their would be more you can add.

  fulano , the GB sign off on whatever is printed in WT literature , and what is presented at Conventions as coming from the faithful & discreet slave.

  And also what the Congregations programs are from week to week.

  So yes we can say with surety what the GB thinks .

  by smiddy in

  i`m just wondering , not that it worry`s me too much since i dad myself , but maybe some people would/should be concerned .. is it possible the gb are monitoring who they can identify as apostates on the internet ?.

  or am i being paranoid.. how about an over-zealous wannabe elder who wants to make a name for himself by dobbing in some poor brother./sister who stumbles across a site like this on the internet.. maybe it`s not the gb , we need to worry about, maybe it is the r&f members who are spying /watching/monitoring their fellow brothers and sisters to see if they are worth reporting to the elders .. of course with the intention of keeping the congregation clean , while hiding their own transgressions .. dont ask questions outside the box./ dob in your bro, or sister ,who you suspect of impropriety and hope to get brownie points.. smiddy.

  Will Bro. Rogers be DF'd posthumously for drug addiction?

  by ShirleyW in

  2. friends

  some have been df'd for suspicion of smoking cigarettes, yet bro.

  rogers death is because of an addiction, fentanyl is what they are saying is the drug that did him in which was reported on the news as being more potent than heroine.

  why is it that some nosy sister can report you because someone who looked like you was in the parking lot the same time as she was, yet bro.

  Addiction is addiction whether they are drugs proscribed by a medical doctor or not for medical reasons. ,They have a safe dosage use with the drug , if you go beyond that with self medication you are an addict .

  Prince apparently OD becoming dependant on this drug Fentanyl , self administered .

  He became a drug addict .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses have double standards in dealing with the R&F and celebrities .

  Does it really matter if they know what they are doing ?

  If they do know what they are doing , they are charlatans , and will eventually come unstuck in time.

  If they are truly delusional , believing they are Gods mouthpiece ( which I personally doubt) again , time will bring them unstuck.

  Whether the Governing Body Knows what their doing ,

  or don`t know what their doing is beside the point.

  The fact is they are an American based religion started in the 1800`s claiming to be Gods true people to spread the word , not unlike many other American based religions claiming the same thing.

  Have they proved to be Gods chosen people over anyone else ? Have any of their prophetic statements ever come true ?

  In over 100 years , of Christ Jesus Rule , what sets them apart from any other religion , that can`t claim a similar thing.

  The name JEHOVAH ? that`s been around in Christendom for hundreds of years before JW`s.came on the scene .

  I think the GB are on a treadmill they cant get off. They have invested so much time and energy into supporting this religion , they can`t lose face and abandon it .

  Pride , arrogance , and stubboness come to mind., refusing to admit they were wrong.

  i went to my girlfriends church service last night.

  basically it's a pentecostal type church that was started about 2 years ago.

  for a church that had started just recently, there must of been a congregation of about 20 members.
