  No One on GB Anointed

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what if no one on the governing body is truly anointed?

  what if they just proclaim they are anointed and partake in order to gain authority, but they are not anointed?

  what will happen to them when they die?

  seems to be a big let down this great prospect of the WT reaching India and China, a bit like the huge anticipation when the Soviet Union fell, it was quite a let down, the Indian people clearly are not interested, well over a billion people and just 30k jw's China is has a bigger population and far fewer jw's.

  my 2 cents

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  all religion is flawed because its led by man.

  jw is not bad religon if it changed some of its doctrines and thoughts.

  if it didnt "shun" members and "worldly people.

  its right up there with the Jim Jones,Waco, The Amish , Plymouth Brethren, The Children of God and Westboro Baptist Church, Heavens Gate and add any more extreme dangerous high control group you can think of, a child abuse cover up policy that may number over 100,000 victims, how many died avoiding organ transplants, blood transfusions and vaccinations? I think you need to get back to the drawing board Slopper!

  it has confirmed the news!

  in italy selling assembly halls.. the managers are deciding which assembly halls keep continuing to use them for the assemblies, and assembly halls which sell the best buyer.

  CA's/ Special Day Assemblies are going to be the next big thing to be chopped completely I can just see it, their greed in this quick fire sell off's of their property portfolio is gathering pace, and is quite breathtaking at times.The Assembly hall where I got baptised a former young offenders institution in the middle of the Surrey stockbroker belt must be worth a fortune.

  Formerbrother;

  there are a fair few sacred name movement groups out there, have you looked at how close they are biblically to the truth as well? there are many boxes they may tick to be even closer than the WTS , membership of the UN, worldwide cover-up of child abuse, continuing failed and false prophecies, its a tough call, maybe you need to do a bit more research?

  Question_Mans; there are clear sighs that manifest themselves as addiction , I know many people at the moment who are trying to quit mj and are showing them; shakes, insomnia,headaches,irritability, anxiety, extreme mood swings, to ignore these signs is very churlish.

  2+2 , I wouldn't patronise you to that level, I believe you are generally speaking about your own personal experiences which are a million miles away from the reality of how folks react to it or any drug, I know a huge amount of users if all drug types,(myself included) its a sea of opinions, fair play if it works for you.

  there is clear evidence that it is very addictive, I know many guys that simply cannot function without it and are desperate to quit, skunk is extremely strong these days, I know people that grow it.

  2=2 every objection raised here is just met with your response "bullshit" I suggest you may need to do some more research or pay attention to folks you may know who are long term users, to call every objection or well rounded response as "bullshit" proves to be very unhelpful and pointless
