in the german edition the question is raised and answered if the "faithful and discreet slaves" encourages biblestudy groups who study "deeper" topics.

obviously the answer is "no" don't do that the slaves feeds you more than enough.. i could do with an english copy.

Conversation with street witnessor (?) becomes elder infused

by AuldSoul in

yesterday, thursday, july 26, 2007, a conversation with a street witnessor (isn't that what you would call someone involved in street witnessing?

) got joined by a walk-up elder turned into a great opportunity to witness to several bystanders (who even joined in the conversation).. i began by declining to accept the offer from the elderly woman who held up a "what does god require of us?

i said, "but, verne, you aren't going to the bible.

I will be asking those questions myself when I get the elder visit....want to keep a copy of what you said if you don't mind.....I can imagine them saying oh it is only for the anointed the great crowd need help, we get all the info from the FDS and have to listen to Gods channel, I bet they say that. and they will probably read me Mth 24: 45,46

so let me get this straight

by 4digitcode in

i have been on here for only the past 3 days or so....so i don't really know how it goes.. this is an 'apostate' site right?.

so today i've learned that there is just the ol' regular apostate and an 'active' apostate.. but are there actually active witnesses on this site as well??.

because i just saw a topic about someone asking for advice on how to do a talk?.

It goes something like this. "If a person stops reading the WTS literature and just reads the Bible he will fall back into the old beliefs of Christendom."

Hello BOB1999 I have never heard this above statement, do you recall what publication it has been stated in, would be appreciated.

The elders serving whose interests?

by greendawn in

the wts claims that the elders are an arrangement by jehovah to lovingly take care of his flock.

this is a typically misleading statement by the fds using the usual smooth talking and references to a divine connection to deceive the r&f.

neither the elders are jehovah's arrangement nor the jws are jehovah's flock.

Thats interesting Docbob......wondering if it was always that way or just more so the past ten yrs due to all the info on the net and a worried WTS....what did they teach you to say incase of what??

The elders are getting younger and born in the truths with no experience with experience to help anyone, so many are just society men with ego's and the love of being in control over others, I have seen that with quiet a few the past few years.

don't know of this but would be interested. When I called the society about the difference of 607 and 585/587 and asked if there was more direction for reading about this, I was told to send them a letter requesting more information and they would send it. I was dumbfounded of such a statement and asked are you saying you have more "food" but I have to request it. Upon which I was told it was only sent to those who dug deeper. I guess this is "special take out" than the regular food that the FDS provides the sheep. This made me sick and opened my eyes wide at the same time.

Yeah right send them a letter asking and a return address, they would send a copy to local KH and you have would be questioned.

the hypocrocy of the org cause more divisions than anything. I find what you said about all the hassles of time the society asks of us on the other thread and here you are talking about divisions.

Wisely many keep those thoughts to themselves, those that have to put up with inconsistences just do. Because they do rely on Jehovah and believe that he will in his own due time correct matters.

Just because I believe that 1914 is incorrect doesn't matter, its just a date, But it matters to them, because their whole belief system is just about founded on that date. Just because I disagree with them on other issues doesn't mean I dont' believe in Jehovah or his kingdom. I don't watch dates, they do.
