  i heard the big announcement was about restructuring the meetings.

  when i told my source he wanted to know how i found out about it and proceeded to tell him it was all online.

  i told him about other things that only elders would know about that are online.. one.

  They will not do away with the CBS. They consider it as the mother of all meetings starting with the "studies" of the Millenial Dawn volumes. On the other hand, they do not really care about their own history. BTW, is this confirmed? I thought the announcement would be about the upcoming tract campaign.

  Does the movie make use of JW terms? Nordic Film would need help when creating foreign version.

  Why the WT Society is DOOMED!

  by Gill in

  1. jw

  yesterday morning i was listening to 'thought for the day', on radio 4 bbc.. a rabbi was discussing why the jewish faith had survived for thousands of years.. he pointed out that the centre of the faith was the children.

  because the children were put first they wanted to stay in the faith as the faith respected them and so they respected the faith in return.. the problem with the wt society is that it puts itself first and the children are just a nuisance to be sat silent in meetings, disciplined for wriggling, talking, and just being children.

  the leaders of the wt despise children and only love themselves, giving only lip service to the care children should receive and more importantly the respect children should receive.. therefore, with offspring of jws leaving the wt at the rate of only 1 in every 8 children remaining, the writing is on the wall of the watchtower society.

  The difference to the Jewish faith is that Jews do not look for adherents from outside, so they have to focus on their offspring. The Watchtower do focus on missionary work and neglect their kids. But I agree that they would be more successful if they more supported they young ones beyond giving written rules. In Switzerland they used to have a suborganization "Jehovah's Youth" but Rutherford put an end to that.

  Revelation - It's Grand Climax Adjusted

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having received a copy of the new watchtower library cd, i decided to do a comparison of what actually changed with the updated revelation book.

  i was expecting some significant changes with some 'new light' for the 'trumpet blasts' or other 'important' stuff, but in all, i thought the changes were mostly quite mundane, though some seem a little crafty for different reasons.

  any thoughts.... throughout.

  It is because new light postponed the judgement of the sheep and goats to the future. Interesting, that they get rid of almost all references to the Watchtower Society and its president.

  1914 & “Generation” – What change?

  by johnnyc in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have read through many posts on this website that refer to the fact wtbts changed their viewpoint on generation and its relevance to 1914. there was just an article out in the wt (last six months) that reiterated the fact this viewpoint did not change, and that the wtbts still expects the generation who were around in 1914 to physically see the conclusion of this system and the visible second coming of jesus here on earth.

  the wtbts did state they consider anyone being born in 1914 would be applicable, which is a change from earlier discussions, but they have not (from what i have seen) said that generation could pass away altogether.

  sincerely i ask: if anyone has that information i would love to see it.

  So the recent information in TheWatchtower about "this generation" did not change our understanding of what occurred in 1914. But it did give us a clearer grasp of Jesus’ use of the term "generation," helping us to see that his usage was no basis for calculating—counting from 1914—how close to the end we are.

  ***

  w978/1p.12par.16ServingLoyallyWithJehovah’sOrganization***

  In contrast, Jehovah’s people in modern times have proved themselves loyal through times of change. As the light of revealed truth continues to brighten, adjustments are made. (Proverbs 4:18) Recently, "the faithful and discreet slave" has helped us to refine our understanding of the term "generation" used at Matthew 24:34 and of the timing of the judgment of "the sheep" and "the goats" mentioned at Matthew 25:31-46, as well as of our view toward certain types of civilian service. (Matthew 24:45) No doubt some apostates would have been delighted if many of Jehovah’s Witnesses had stuck rigidly to the previous understanding of such subjects and refused to progress. Nothing of the kind has happened. Why? Jehovah’s people are loyal.

  As I promised to come back: the German politician from the video replied to my e-mail. He forwarded me the official reply to his inquiry and explained that they admitted the use of 'chaff'. He emphasized that his inquiry was about 'chaff' and not chemtrails which he considers a conspiracy theory.

  (Judges 5:30) . . .A womb—two wombs to every able-bodied man,. . . The footnote says "Soldiers’ expression for captured concubines." Guess what soldier's expression for a womb is.
