"All of a sudden, the Annual Meeting has become the focus of attention for 8 million -"
Will they say that all of the 'domestics' being the anointed and other sheep, are all in the new covenant and can partake of the emblems regardless of whether it is their hope to live forever in the new earth or new heavens to come ?
There is no risk from power seekers now the the FDS is not a class but a group of eight men... and that only when they sit in
conference.
Also the relocation of the WT to Warwick will re-establish the 'barn building spirit" in the critical year 2014 and those to follow

RED ALERT FOR JULY 15TH STUDY on SUNDAY!
by The Searcher inin the very first paragraph, matthew 13:38 is to be read - "the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one..".
jesus speaks of only two groups, so if you accept the wtbts "anointed" doctrine, then if you haven't got the "heavenly hope", then you've got no hope!.
simply put, there aren't any 'other sheep' members of jesus' "one flock" mentioned, unless of course theyare also "sons of the kingdom", but of course, that would be ridiculous!!.

Whats the "current light" on standing vs sitting during the national anthem?
by BU2B inthis is something that seems to be conterversial in dubbieland.
i have always seen jws stand when at sporting events, but i have heard conversations in which the dubs said they would either linger in the hallways until it was over, or else sit down during it.
most of the time when there is such discrepancy between jws it means the light has been flicked on and off so often it leaves them dazed and confused.

Put this question to them ...when a JW is in a courtroom and the baliff says, "All rise for the honorable judge court is now in session," do JWs stand up? Also tell them to read this verse
(Romans
13:5-7)5 There is therefore compelling reason for YOU people to be in subjection, not only on account of that wrath but also on account of [YOUR] conscience. 6 For that is why YOU are also paying taxes; for they are God’s public servants constantly serving this very purpose. 7 Render to all their dues, to him who [calls for] the tax, the tax; to him who [calls for] the tribute, the tribute; to him who [calls for] fear, such fear; to him who [calls for] honor, such honor. -

Are Only Jehovah's Witnesses going to be saved?
The question should rephrased ..." As it stands right now , if Armageddon were to come tomorrow,
who alive today besides JW's would be saved ?"

1914, 1935 ... really doesn't bother me how they teach it.
But if they mess with the horn-blowing in Cedar Point Ohio in 1922, I'm out the door.
Rub a Dub
For sure because horn #7 would have to be reblown (horn number 2 is already dated)
1. 1922 Cedar Point, Ohio: A challenge to Christendom's leaders in religion, politics, and big business to justify their failure to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness. Messiah's Kingdom is the panacea.
2. 1923 Los Angeles, California: The public talk, "All Nations Now Marching to Armageddon, but Millions Now Living Will Never Die," called on peace-loving "sheep" to abandon the death-dealing sea of humanity.
3. 1924 Columbus, Ohio: Ecclesiastics indicted for self-exaltation and refusal to preach Messiah's Kingdom. True Christians must preach God's vengeance and comfort mourning humanity.
4. 1925 Indianapolis, Indiana: A message of hope contrasting the spiritual darkness in Christendom with the bright Kingdom promise of peace, prosperity, health, life, liberty, and eternal happiness.
5. 1926 London, England: A locustlike plaguing of Christendom and its clergy, exposing their rejection of God's Kingdom, and hailing the birth of that heavenly government.
6. 1927 Toronto, Canada: An invitation, carried as by armies of cavalry, calling on people to forsake `organized Christianity' and give heart allegiance to Jehovah God and to his King and Kingdom.
7. 1928 Detroit, Michigan: A declaration against Satan and for Jehovah, making plain that God's anointed King, enthroned in 1914, will destroy Satan's evil organization and emancipate mankind. -

A simple yet most profound observation thanks so much
Galatians 3:26-28
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is [a] neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:
1 For all who are led by the spirit of God are sons of God. 15.For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!' 16.The spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,Romans 8:9 The two tiers (or contrast ) are between the fleshly man and the spiritual man ..not heaven and earth
New International Version (NIV)
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

Has anyone else observed how the elderly JWs are neglected?
by Joepublisher1 ini know there are exceptions to this (by good-hearted jws), but has anyone else noticed how some jws (even those who are pios, elders, etc.
) neglect the needs of their elderly parents?
(what i have seen is some jws hiding behind the fact that they are very busy in spiritual matters, too busy, to help their elderly parents with chores around their house, yet they find plenty of time for their own selfish pursuits.

Has anyone else observed how the elderly JWs are neglected?
As a ministerial servant I was shocked at how the brothers as a whole seemed to ignore these ones. There were a couple that would visit certain ones but as a congregation, these ones were ignored.
For this very reason I have went along with close family members (who are still JW's ) to visit nursing homes
where quite a number of JW's are (some were Elders) ....who played a part in my much earlier life. Some have remained single
their whole life "serving " waiting for the New system , I guess , to consider marriage.
While I may not share their views I think how sad it is for them that very few from the KH "bother " to visit. My human passion says
"surely to God you (you meaning me ) can at least give them a smile and some comfort in this their final sick and lonely years !"
These were and are not evil poeple ...only misguided
I think a key reason they appear" neglect" these is because it becomes a constant reminder as you see these sick and dieing
of the failed promised "new system .. Just around the corner". It is to save their own sanity and keep away depressing thoughts
