When will they appoint new GB members...

by Mickey mouse in

jw

...and who do you think they will be?.

ldrnomo

I agree with George, Leon Weaver has to be an option, forceful used in the past as the GB's lieutenant (the apostate letter of the 80's). I met him once. He struck me as a forceful man, tall, handsome, intelligent, a good speaker. Not annointed at the moment, (as far as I know) but the calling could come at any time.

Is the Governing Body overdue to make new appointments?

by cedars in

i'm doing some research for a new blog article on the governing body.

it's in a question-and-answer or "faq" format, and attempts to give simple but well-founded answers to most questions that people could conceivably ask about the governing body.. one thing i noticed when looking at the history of the governing body is that we seem to be in the middle of a lengthy "dry spell" when it comes to making new appointments.. gerrit losch is currently the longest-serving member having been appointed in 1994. however, his appointment came at the end of a 17 year period in which no appointments were made.

this contrasts notably with the remarkable six-year period between 1971 and 1977 when 15 members were added.. since losch's appointment, 4 members were added in 1999 (herd, lett, pierce and splane) and 2 more recently in 2005 (morris and jackson).. the seven year spell since the last appointments were made has seen the deaths of barber, barr, jaracz, shroeder and sydlik - cutting the number of governing body members almost in half.

WANTED:

spiritual MEN who will say yes to anything that the older members say, will also be qualified to kiss any existing Governing Body members ass anytime they bend over.

the succesful applicant will be able to travel anywhere in the world with all expenses paid and will only have to spew out hours of useless information.

As a new GB member all expenses will be paid and all you will have to do is sit in a meeting every week nodding your head in an afirmative motion anytime anyone says any thing of little or no importance. The successful aplicant will also recieve full medical benefits, the use of a fully fueled automobile, butler service, laundry service, all meals, and many people who will kiss your ass

Please send all resumes to Patterson NY care of Garrett Losch (elder member of GB)

Also if you've read the whole Bible NWT only all the way through that will be a plus

The start of Armageddon

by Armageddon-Messenger in

hi everyone:.

i am armageddon messenger, the one that jesus said he would send to tell "you" the things coming.-john 16:12-14. .

as it should be expected, the governing body of jw's are not willing and will not accept me as a "prophet" because according to them, jehovah only communicates trough them.... .

Sunday release: DVD

"walk by faith not by sight"

In other words, close your eyes, put some blinders on just in case you open them for a moment but really try to keep them closed. Hold our (GB) hand and we'll take you where we think your supposed to go.

Haven't attended KH in 3 months...

i haven't attended the kingdom hall in over 3 months now.

it really is a great feeling.

no dreading the thursday night or feeling like your weekend is wasted because of sunday morning.

ldrnomo

Lastly, since I have missed all those meetings Jehovah has really blessed me. I got a much better job. High paying with full benefits, health insurance, 401k but dubs dont need 401k as armageddon is coming.

Of course you know it's not Jehovah's blessing, it's Satan that arranged all of those worldly benefits you now have

A little update on my family

by sooner7nc in

jw
friends

a few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.

since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.

it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.

ldrnomo

So sorry for you and your family and Coltin. May good things happen for you in this time of trouble.

Vibes coming your way to stay strong

The Jehovah's Witness Definition of the Word "Soon"

by God_Delusion in

howdy guys and gals!.

forget the word "generation", the watchtower society has completely spun another word - "soon".. how many times did you (do you) hear jehovah's witnesses tell each other "the end is coming soon"?.

i talk about this word spin in our latest article - the jehovah's witness definition of "soon" - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-beliefs/jehovahs-witness-definition-of-soon/.

ldrnomo

I'll get back with you soon with my thoughts

Marijuana

by MrFreeze in

does anybody know the jw reasoning why using mind-altering depression and schizophrenia medication are okay but marijuana is not?

okay i could see saying not to use marijuana because it is currently illegal in the us but what if it were legal?

there are lots of health benefits for marijuana.

Even something like alcohol and weed, two of the safest psychiatric drugs, can create problems with your brain and your liver.

Do you have some documented studies that point to liver damage through the use of marijuana?

If so, could you reference them so I can read them?
