what brought me out of the wt , was one day it dawned on me, mathew 25:35,36 ..i was hungry and you gave me food;i was thirsty and you gave me drink;i was a stranger and you took me in, i was naked and you clothes me,i was sick and you visited me, i was in prison and you came to me.
i was being told this was some "symbolic action" we were supposed to take towards the wt version of the faithful and discreet slave.
and something inside me just said, "no it isn't" its real.
true , love thy neighbor as thy self is a commandment but I still think the meaning behind the good samaritan and the brothers being , hungry , naked and in prison is a different meaning to it, Like you quoted the ,anyone doing the will of the father is his brother sister and mother so it would stand to reason that the ones he consider special would be the center of the meaning . I think the good samaritan story was about ending the enmity the jews had against non jews .
TY...
i'm thinking they will be force to do a reality check as the clock ticks and things keep going down hill for the corporation they are ceos of.. that means they may come clean or change their delusion as the hard cold facts come knocking at thier door.
or they may hang on tenaciously to the delusion and exibit more and more bizarre reasonings.. i'm thinking this delusion to too hard to get out of and so exspect more bizarre behavior.
.
They already made the changes , they now need to go damage control by reminding them the end is o so close and to leave now would be a waste of a life time waiting on jehovah, guilt them into submission again and claim , you can't go anywhere else since they never really said any of the things they are accused of saying ..... round and round we go .....

I think the parable of the talents is about spreading the gospel to others who then convert , could also represent holy spirit . As for feeding , clothing and visiting the brothers in jail is about being jailed for the preaching work , it is about the resurrection so later they are blessed instead of eternally damned as we know only the GC does not take the mark of the beast of worship it so are blessed anyone else is eternally damned . Rich man lazurus is about the poor jews treated as if they are diseased and did not get equal access to the scrolls to learn about GODS will and be blessed , jesus comes and brings them the knowledge to be abrahams children , abraham is now jesus and the rich man dies and asks for a drop of water , dies spiritually and is asking jesus for a sign(drop of water) while he is in a burning hell, of which he tells them the only sign will be that of jonah.
i thought of a list of members i would love to party with.. .
mr. freeze terrry dogpatch fernando, i would love to kick back and talk business with marvin shilmer and simon.
cook and party with ray publisher, satanus, london111 and moeshe, botr, 00dad, flipper, billytheex and many others.
any hot babes ... still single ladies ... your big chance is still waiting to happen ..
just in the news: pope benedictus is resigning.
this should be a good example for the gb of our church organization.
there are reasons enough: child abuse (conti case etc), failed prophecies (slave classe, un/osce), killing doctrines (blood doctrine etc, shunning / suicide) and fraude (investment corporation instead of church).. so it would be nice to read on bbc news: governing body of jehovah's witnesses resigns and make way for a new generation that embraces christian freedom.. gorby.
now if all cult leaders step down be good a great day
your relationship with god will then be like that of those christians to whom paul wrote: you do not belong to yourselves, for you were bought with a price.
for example, the comments jesus made about one.
master, jesus christ.1 cor.
looks like another gag alert was in order here ... Now the GC are the stuard class.. Actually to me the only way anyone can prove they are in the LF is when they die a horrible humiliating death from the world governments opposed to the preaching work , how many GB members can even be counted in that ? Their version of truth changes all the time so what they want is people that are good at making excuses and will accept their lame excuses .
london (cnn) -- uk food safety officials have ordered the testing of all beef products following the discovery of horsemeat in beef lasagna sold by uk firm findus, only weeks after many meat lovers were dismayed to learn horse and pig dna had been found in burgers.. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/08/world/europe/uk-horsemeat-probe/index.html.
I heard it was burger king that got busted .. eww I hate burger king anyway
of course this was ment to be a sort of satirical joke in the coverage of a special annual business meeting :.
"all those in attendance rose from thier seats with rapturous applaus as they were delighted to find out that they were now part of the domestics and would be gladly serving with prominant annointed who make up the governing body(surveilllance camera shots showing all applauding).".
"this certainly was a milestone in the glorious history of the organization, and proper appreciation was shown by all even prominant governing body member anthony morris said:"i like the idea" with a broad shit eating grin.
funny ding , I'm starting to wonder if they are now claiming there are no anointed ,(partakers), in the GB , I remember seeing articles back 4 years ago or so that they made mention that the GC could now be part of the decision making ...

hand to forhead , here we go again ,, Rutherford claimed to identify the GC , guess what ? I don't think there's enough people alive today to qualify . OMG how lame can you get?
what are the belongings that jesus comes back for.
apparently, we were told by one of the elders at bethel who was at the annual meeting in october that the organisation was still not too sure on what those belongings are and that it would be public down the road in their publications.
they figure it would come out in the april watchtower.
yah I know the FDS is chosen then is given time to prove himself , I was stating that the evil slave is probably not the ," apostates", since they were merely members of the religion and disagree , the WTBTS is now saying that they aren't appointed over anyone but still consider themselves the FDS . They really made a twisted mess of it . They are now even saying the tribulaton hasn't started and the FDS is selected during it later on . Unbelievable , I remember them saying the tribulation started in 1914 and Rutherford got the keys to the kingdom in 1919 so the zions watch bible students considered themselves the light bearers and all that sort of fullfillment of the global preaching work ...
