It is actually several scriptures, but it's where Jehovah was dealing with a situation and one of his angels made a suggestion about making the prophets say something that was false or something and then Jehovah told the angel to do it. I have tried to think of keywords in the WTLIB but can't find it. Help, please?

Were You Skeptical of "the Annointed Ones" in Your Congregation?
by BabaYaga insorry in advance to all of the ones on this forum now, who partook while jw.
i have to say that in my experience, having known personally several who were "of the annointed", most were absolutely dingy.
the only exception was the little ancient gal who had attended the early convention where all attendees were "annointed" en masse!

My ex's uncle claims to be of the anointed, but as fukt up as her family is, I always doubted. Now I know another anointed fellow. My doubts about him (and subsequently all of them) came when his well- to- do MS grandson gave a talk about avoiding spiritism in the media, movies, books, etc... I have to say, at the time I was inspired to get rid of my Star Wars movies (blasphemy, I know)! Later the SAME DAY I was at their house commending the grandson on his talk, and the anointed grandfather came over and asked me if I could stay and watch Lord of the Rings with them!!! He pulls out ALL 3 movies (the extended versions, I might add) and tells me it's going to be a marathon, I should stay! WTF?! I kept thinking, "OK- a young man wanting to go to Bethel would be denied if he admitted to watching such a movie, yet this guy could actually be asked to serve on the GB?" I knew then that something was fishy with the whole anointed thing...

Did your "counter" have any way of doing a count of who was behind the scenes backstage or checking the ladies' rooms? Even so, it doesn't seem like there'd be 200 missing attendees.

In 8th grade my science teacher asked the same question, and was enormously dismayed when I proudly announced that I wanted to be a porn star! Throughout my adult life, however, people have recommended several lines of work that they think I'd be good at. Attorney, metal sculptor, rock singer, and writer, to name a few. I have actually started a fantasy fiction novel but who knows where that will lead. I've also been told that one day I'd make a great elder, but I can't see that happening for some reason... My sister thinks I'm going to establish my own church and she's going to be its first member. "I think the Lord's going to use you in a big way..." she says. I can't help but think she might be like the ones who told me I'd be a great elder one day.
The one thing that I always told people after i got over the "porn star" kick was that I simply wanted to be a "Professional Adult". I think I'm going to just stick with that goal... -

My new favorite scripture!
by LtCmd.Lore inso.
when the jw's regect what you say simply because it's apostate, proverbs 18:13 comes to your rescue:.
13 when anyone is replying to a matter before he hears it, that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation.. right there in a single completely unambiguous sentence: it would be foolish for them to reject what you say before they hear it!.

What about Proverbs 17:17? "A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress."
How can someone shun you at all after reading this? -

I have coins and bills from over 30 different countries, most of which were collected by my mother before she died. The oldest is from the mid- 1800's. Other than my mother's collection of coins, I have gathered coins and bills mostly from random encounters with people from overseas and such. One guy I met at a McDonald's was from Australia. I introduced myself and explained to him that I collect foreign money and offered to buy some from him. He was so in love with the USA that he went out to his car, got some more money, and GAVE it to me, free of charge. He went on to explain how the bills were actually plastic, because plastic was more durable than paper. I also met a family from South Africa, England, and Jordan. I have a unique "piece" from Iraq. I also have a few current dinari bills that, in theory, might be worth something if the government in Iraq would ever stabilize.

Governing Body as Jehovah God revealed in latest WT study
by hamilcarr inthe watchtower study of this week (15/2) is entitled 'jesus christ - the greatest missionary'.
compare the following phrases on the modern-day identity of jehovah and jesus:.
as one of jehovah's witnesses, however, you likely think of the missionaries sent out by the governing body to preach the food news in various lands around the earth.. concerning his heavenly father, though, jesus christ said: "i am a representative from him, and that one sent me forth.

This reminds me of the Gilead talk that F Franz gave when the Governing Body took control of the corporation in 1975. I just read about it in CoC. Even then, Franz was effectively saying that the GB is not needed to send out missionaries, that Christ can act of his own accord. He was, at the time, psst off about what was happening to his and Nathan Knorr's power over the organization, but nonetheless he made a good point- the GB is NOT needed for the rest of us to get our "food at the proper time". The book has a footnote that says an audio recording of this talk is available from Commentary Press. Anyone heard the whole thing?

Superslave- I'm the gentlest guy you could ever meet but I got a kick out of games like GTA3 and Unreal Tournament. In GTA3, jogging down the street and punching the crap out of a guy as you pass by was a great way to blow off some steam, especially when they start chasing you afterward! It's no different than what happens in Looney Tunes cartoons, but you don't see people pointing the finger at Bugs, Daffy, and Yosemite Sam, do you?

The Perfectly Run Congregation?
by WTWizard inthis is what i have been seeing as the filthful and disgraceful slavebugger's idea of a perfectly run congregation--.
boasting sessions: everyone always there, no matter what.
everyone brings all 5 of their studies every time, and no one ever misses or has to leave in the middle.

I think everyone would be required by the FDS to own a small TV, but with no cable, satellite, or even rabbit ears hooked up- only a VCR/DVD player for watching the society's videos. The grass would be neater than the greens at Pebble Beach, with every male 12 and older ready at a moment's notice to go mow it. The landscaping would be immaculate and not so much as a "defective" petal on a single flower would be allowed to remain. The elders would do a shepherding call, without fail, to every disfellowshipped person on the anniversary of their disfellowshipping. Everyone would have their field service reports turned in by no later than 12pm on the 1st of every month. Batteries in cordless mics would never run out in the middle of the meeting. The incorrect song would never be accidentally played (I did this at the Memorial a few years ago =P). #3 talks would all receive standing ovations (if applauding was allowed) for their Academy Award performances.
The best part (this really happened at my Hall)- The PO would spray paint all of the electrical boxes and conduit on the side of the Kingdom Hall to match the color of the brick... -

I was into "Thundar the Barbarian", "Dungeons & Dragons", "Superfriends", "Spiderman & his Amazing Friends", "GI Joe", "Transformers", and some of the other stuff already listed by others, such as "The Flintstones". I hated Bugs Bunny because he was a smarta$$ (Sorry FlyingHighNow). He always got away with being a jerk to Elmer Fudd. Poor ole' Fudd was only trying plant a garden and that damned rabbit had to wreck it all!!! No wonder Yosemite Sam was always griping! It would have been funny if, just once, Sam was allowed to express his feelings uncensored; "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, I HATE THAT F#CKIN' RABBIT!!!" That would have been hilarious!! My 2 cents...
