  Who's the Pope of the Jehovah's Witnesses now?

  by inquirer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have seen on the 2nd page of the watchtower m. h. larson.... what's his first name?

  is he the "pope?

  i have forgotten a lot of things about jw structure.

  Max H. Larson's name appears on page 2 of the Watchtower because he's he president of the New York corporation; Don A. Adams 's the president of the oldest corporation of Pennsylvania, and I suppose, should be the figurehead "pope". But the president isn't really the "pope". There's a nasty old nut called Jaracz on the governing body; he's the freaking pope.

  And you could alway stest how much JWs know (or not) about their Watchtower coporations; they don't know Larson (some 're almost outraged when told his name appears in every Watchtower edition) and 're almost certainly ignorant of Don Adams. You could add a bit of intrigue by mentioning the Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses; that's almost sure to freak them out; yet, it is about 5 years old already.

  this was posted over a year ago under my original screen name.

  i am bringing it back to the top for newer posters:

  jehovah's witnesses in russia are working with scientology, the unification church, mormons and others in a joint political effort to lobby the russian duma (similar to the us congress) for certain issues.

  Is the Bible Opposed to Celebration of Birthdays?

  by Kenneson in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yes, says the watchtower society.

  because, they inform us, only pagans celebrated birthdays per the bible and in each case a death occurs.

  let us examine the two passages they use to support their conclusions.

  Now there is mention of birthday celebrations by Jews in the Bible also, but JWs are quiet about that. See Job 1:4 Now it is possible that Job didn't wholeheartedly concur with these banquets, but he did not prevent them. Vs. 5 And it is also true that at one of these birthday parties all his children died in a tornado (vs. 18-19).

  Kenneson, I reckon you didn't directly say this, but could you confirm if Job was an Israelite or Jew? I'm not sure he was. If not, then which Jews are mentioned in the bible as having celebrated the days of their birth?

  In an attempt to lighten the mood around here...

  ...i thought i'd share this joke.

  it was getting a little crowded in heaven, so god decided to change the admittance policy.

  the new law was that in order to get into heaven, you had to have a really bummer day on the day that you died.

  Quotes,

  you're doing a wonderful job. Please keep it up. That telephone conversation is powerful testimony to the lame duck situation of the Society when it comes to disaster relief. JWs generally view the Organization as one very swift, efficient machine. Pity.

  Yeah, see how it's like a world war because, what, 500 precious Western lives have been lost, eh?

  Hypocricy.

  The US sent CIA agents to the country Niger to investigate a Saddam/WMD/Uranium connection; issues from that 're still very much alive with Karl rove and the US government... now, that same country is experiencing the most devastating famine is recent history; 3.5 million people will starve, thousands have already started to travel hundreds of miles in search of food; parents're feeding wild leaves to their children; millions may die; the West has, for 8 months, ignored the UN's plea for food aid, and that has already cost lives; another disaster is waiting to happen. Of course, Niger is relevant in so far as they're able to sell Uranium. Hypocricy, massive. And yeah, World War III; Africa and the world's poorest countries have been in an incessant state of War for a long time; the West is just taking notice, as you are, cos Westerners have been touched. Typically human; and almost curious.

  Another letter from WBTS re: UN Scandal

  by Gadget in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  quite a while ago i mentioned to my parents about the un scandal but they didn't seem too interested, but when i called in the other day my mother mentioned it to me again.

  they had a elder and his wife (family friends who i was previously very very close to) staying with them for the convention and discussed it with them.

  the elders wife is a very strong personality and super-spiritual but when she heard of the scandal back in spring she had a huge problem with it.
