Anyone watching "Walking Dead?" Yikes!

by Wasanelder Once in

season two is almost done.

anyone watching?

do you think any self respecting jw would watch this show?

heathen

Been following it . That hooded character with the zombies on chains at the end was pretty odd . I wonder what's planned for that .

Could the Governing Body be the "Evil Slave" of Matt. 24:48-51?

by matt2414 in

48 but if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, my master is delaying, 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.

there is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.

see if this browser works. I've never heard them say those words or seen them beat anyone since most would get their ass handed to them if they tried but I do accuse them of treason to the crown in heaven when they changed to earthly governments having the right to rule on earth after saying the world ended invisibly in 1914 , they pulled that trick with the UN in order to use UN ships to send supplies to disaster areas . romans 13 is a farce . IMO

Watchtower admits the KISS method works - Nov 1, 2011 WT, p. 24

by Alleymom in

the following posts and graphics refer to the k.i.s.s.

(keep it simple, sweetie) approach to 587/586 bce,.

which i introduced on july 12, 2003.. here is a link to the original thread:.

heathen

Yah well I'd freak if they did away with 1914 as the beginning of the end since 607 bc works just right with that one , they also calculated the arrival of christ at john the baptist using 607 . So now they are claiming there were periods of no ruling king in babylon ?

Bizarre 'Spirit anointed' v. 'Spirit appointed' explanation in Dec 15th WT

by cedars in

hi everyone, i am going through the dec 15th study edition of the wt thanks to a tip-off that this issue is now available online at jw.org.. in the article "guided by god's spirit in the first century and today" on page 25 there is a bizarre argument put forward by the society about the difference between spirit-anointed and spirit-appointed.. this touches on a subject that i have often wondered about, which is this.

why are spirit anointed brothers and sisters (memorial partakers) not given positions of oversight in the congregation by default?

i know it sounds like a stupid question, but please think about it for a moment.

heathen

here we go again these people that think this board is here for them to be insulting instead of a place to disguss things .If you don't want to discuss the topic please go else where.

I agree they should explain themselves, the early christians had no problems giving proof they were what they claim to be such as prophesy and speaking in toungues . That article did nothing to enlighten anybody on the topic more or less stating we should not bother them by asking if they see any signs that would be considered super natural even . They do seem to drop hints here and there , such as when the apostle Paul talks about meeting the lord in the air is not a rapture but rather being on earth . There are so many obvious frauds as to this anointing thing , why would they be afraid of being criticized or made fun of? God is judge ,not man .

The whole thing of jesus will give to the last as the first was the example given . I've actually heard an elder claim that the great crowd had as much spirit as the LF . Didn't believe it and never will ,the guy is a jerk . I do remember the WT a couple years ago explaining how the anointing works and that the GC doesn't get any . You do have to volunteer for responsiblities in the church and also have to be viewed as a saint more or less even tho these saints were world class sinners at one time , newly converted ones were not allowed to . The article in the WT says the anointing happens some time after the baptism , not sure I agree with that . I know jesus got his right after .

geez that romans; 13 what a sham

by heathen in

i've noticed allot of attention given to that scripture of late , i've also noticed the wtbts flip flops in dogma , to me it's an obvious contradiction in scripture and was tampered with or an out right forgery .

praising the romans for using the sword for good is completely outrageous .

from what i see in the bible is gods hatred of world rulers and not empowering them .

heathen

I just know the WTBTS for the longest time claimed the world ended invisibly then they got caught with the UN library card and agreeing to terms and conditions as a card holder and suddenly presto we're back to human authority being empowered by God somehow . Anarchy is not a bad thing , the romans clearly were uncivilized barbarians that used the sword for entertainment in the colloseums . Murder was entertainment to them . Jesus clearly says his kingdom is not part of the world .

Fallout from the apostate-bashing WT article?

by cedars in

i've noticed there are a few excellent threads on here about sunday's 9/11 watchtower study.

my own analysis of its more blatantly farcical claims (including that of apostates being "mentally diseased") can be seen here.. what i really wanted to know is - what has the fallout been?

has it created any horror-stories within people's families or homes, etc?

heathen

not enough you can use your card online at the WTBTS site but now we need to put an ATM machine in front of your face so now they can even charge the banks for putting them there I guess .
