Elders in their 20's?

by Princess Daisy Boo in

my little sister called me just now.

exciting news - stop the presses - her husband has been made an elder.

she is 27 and he is 26... is that not a little young to be an elder?

MOG

my brother has been an elder for years and he just turned 28..but he just left the organization as well...you might find him at a bar with tattoos and shaved head, earing, etc...and doesnt want to talk to anyone..not even me and I dont even care that he left..Im happy for him

Jesus' True Message

by WTWizard in

with the reject jesus fest approaching and the god machines about to start bombarding us with their invitations, it is a good time to see what jesus actually was teaching.. i have noticed through the new testament, and particularly the gospels, that jesus was preoccupied with setting man free.

notice how many times he denounced the scribes and pharisees.

because they were teaching people to obey every little letter of the law, not the spirit.

MOG

heck no wonder they do not want anyone going to college..

did anyone feel trapped , i used to say i wish i had never heard about "the truth" as i was happier when i believed i would go to heaven when i died than armageddon stuff that scared me so much .

MOG

I remember before I left back in '88-89 I was hitting on a sister - FINE AS HECK- and she shot me down and told me "your not spiritual enough"..DARN IT..

Does anyone else notice?...

by still_in74 in

i started this in another thread but i think it deserves its own......... does anyone else notice, that as they see the wt for what it is, the wt articles seem to not actually "teach" anything anymore?

- it just seems to constanly preach over and over to not listen to apostates, not listen to news/internet/documentaries, not listen to anything critical of the org.

just to read the bible and "by extension" bible-based literature.

MOG

Its not easy, but we are all in this together. We have all thought like you - been like you..Trust me -the only regret you will have is WHY DIDNT I DO THIS EARLIER..

Pray to Jehovah on this..and I will for you..

Hidden Art In Watchtower..

by AgentSmith in

this may have been dealt with before on another thread.

we all know of the 'hidden art' that seem to pour out of the wtb&ts pictures.

i thought (incorrectly it seems) that the art dept in brooklyn put s a stop to it.. i don't get watchtowers anymore, but my in-laws sent me the feb 15 2008 issue (study edition) in an attempt to convince mrs smith and i that the 'generation' is a coherent reasoning.... yes, i shake my head in disbelief as well.

MOG

pictures please

I dont even want to know the answer..but I do hope that Jehovah realizes that their faith was so profound and the real blame comes from those who misled them - those who actually knew the truth and deceived them ..I am praying for a second chance...Kinda like when I grew up as a JW, I always prayed family member who werent would died NOW so that they will be resurrected later for that second chance..

this is a CUT AND PASTE: - very interesting..

Russell and Rutherford were lenient towards doctrinal disagreements, recognizing that making all followers think alike on doctrine is what originally caused the great apostasy and a method of control.
