God “is great, and rich,” and he makes “good gifts.” (Psalm 147:5, ISV; James 1:17, ERV) But “those who are rich and those who give presents have many friends who are interested only in the selfish benefits derived from the friendship … Appropriately Jesus Christ counseled not to invite to an evening meal friends.” – Insight on the Scriptures, volume I, page 872.

This warning applies to God, too. “Jehovah’s Witnesses are friends of God” – but, as “Gerrit Lösch of the Governing Body” admitted, only because they “hope for a reward.” (You Can Be God’s Friend!, page 7;The Watchtower, February 15, 2008, page 31) God will heed Jesus’ warning though and will ‘not call his friends or his brothers’ to “the evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage.” (Luke 14:12; Revelation 19:9) The “faithful and discreet slave” – “the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses” – must also stay away from this evening meal, since Jesus will not invite ‘his brothers’ too. (The Watchtower, July 15, 2013, page 22) “With no enlightenment of any kind from God, that class will … be cut off from the ‘kingdom of the heavens’ and will have no part in the ‘evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage’ in the heavens above.” – The Watchtower, November 15, 1974, page 698.

Alternative Daily Text for Saturday, December 28, 2013

“A slave does not know what his master does.” (John 15:15)

Jehovah’s Witnesses claim “that the ‘greatly diversified wisdom of God’ can become known only through Jehovah’s channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave.” (The Watchtower, October 1, 1994, page 10) But nothing that this “slave” has prophesied has come true. Jesus revealed the reason for that when he told: “A slave does not know what his master does.” (John 15:15) Even if the “faithful and discreet slave” is faithful and discreet, he is still a slave – hence he has not the foggiest idea of “what his master does.”

Alternative Daily Text for Friday, December 27, 2013

“Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means, when translated, ‘Dorcas.’” (Acts 9:36)

After Tabitha died, the bereaved sent for Peter. What happened when he arrived at the mourners? Did they tell him what a good person Tabitha had been or how they miss her company? No, no one wasted any word her her personality. Rather they kept “showing him the coats and other clothes Dorcas had made for them.” (Acts 9:39, NLT) Accordingly the Watchtower says: “Why … was Dorcas loved so much? – Well, the Bible says that she … gave fine gifts. She apparently made nice clothes for widows.” – August 1, 2011, page 14.

So the Christians in Joppa missed Tabitha only because now no one would make “coats and other clothes” for them anymore. Peter felt sympathy for them and resurrected Tabitha; “then he called in the believers and widows, and presented her to them alive,” so that she could make more “nice clothes” for them. – Acts 9:41, MSG.

The Greater Solomon has promised to take 144000 wives.

Actually he wants to take ONE 'collective wife' consisting of 144,000 men and women. So Christians can also take a collective wife consisting of a few women.

March 2014 - Food at the proper time regarding creation

by konceptual99 in

dear brothers.

after some struggling with trying to make the bible's account of creation square with the physical evidence presented by science i was so pleased to recieve the latest awake magazine (march 2014) via jw.org with it's lead article "the untold story of creation".. your detailed article provided vast amounts of credible and scientifically based evidence that counters even the most determined of evolutionists.

this article shall be an absolute blessing in the ministry and shall no doubt be instrumental in changing the minds of countless ones we meet.. the material is certainly new, detailed and clearly presents more than compeling evidence of as yet unknown arguments and evidence for creation that are irrefutable.

In Germany they translated "The untold story of creation" as "Creation - What many people don't know". Well, there is a reason why many people don't know that crap.

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/rejoice-with-the-wife-of-your-youth/

Alternative Daily Text for Thursday, December 26, 2013

“Rejoice with the wife of your youth … **why should you … embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?” (Proverbs 5:18, 20, NWT 1984)**

Where in the Bible do we find this advice? It is part of “the proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel” and was written “to learn wisdom.” (Proverbs 1:1, 2) As is generally known, “King Solomon [was] one of the wisest men who ever lived.” (The Watchtower, May 15, 2007, page 14) Admittedly, he strongly advised against foreign women and told husbands to stay ‘with the wife of their youth’ for a lifetime – but “King Solomon loved many foreign women besides the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women … And he had 700 wives … and 300 concubines.” (1 Kings 11:1-3) He did exactly the opposite of what he taught.

“Jesus Christ [is] the Greater Solomon.” (Awake!, February 22, 2002, page 9) He perfectly followed Solomon’s example – for instance, he taught that he would have come “not to be ministered to, but to minister,” but he demanded that all people should ‘minister to him.’ (Matthew 20:28; John 12:26) He taught that God’s name must be sanctified, but he never used that name. (Matthew 6:9) He emphasized the importance of obeying God and complying with his regulations, but at the same time he declared God’s regulations invalid and introduced his own. – Matthew 7:21; 5:38; Deuteronomy 24:1; Luke 16:18.

Today we can imitate the wisdom of Solomon and Jesus Christ by also teaching the contrary of what we do. We should condemn others for something that we do ourselves. Then we will prove to be true Christians.

Alternative Daily Text for Wednesday, December 25, 2013

“A man will leave his father and his mother.” (Genesis 2:24)

Jesus repeated this prophecy and urged everyone to “leave his father and his mother.” (Mark 10:7) Was he referring to one’s literal parents? Hardly, for adult Christians “still need to honor their parents” a lifetime. (The Watchtower, February 1, 2010, page 27) So, which “father” and which “mother” was Jesus speaking of?

“Besides being the God of Christians, Jehovah is also their Father.” (Commentary on the Letter of James, page 47) Actually Jesus prompted us to disassociated ourselves “from our Father, Jehovah, and his motherlike organization.” (The Watchtower, June 1, 1998, page 23) Do not hesitate to heed his advice!
