reading it again looks like they are saying they are the FDS but not appointed over the domestics ? Still this is looking like they are dodging all the claims of being the representatives of the kingdom of the heavens and thus demanding obedience as a legal authority , hmm sounds like they've been sued over something to where they are force to disclaim authority and guess what ? after all they are just a book publishing corporation and are not liable for the lives they ruin ....

woah , now they are saying the slave hasn't been appointed yet ? I thought they were saying the tribulation started in 1914 and then rutherford was given the keys to the kingdom , good god , they just up and change all that . I can see them wanting damage control because there are alot of people claiming LF status and seems to be growing every year despite their statements the numbers will diminish . Holy smokes ...

A comet coming to end the world? Useful information?
by EntirelyPossible inthoughts?
a woman named amanda started hearing a voiced telling them that a comet was going to destroy the earth.
they bought a house in the north carolina mountains to prepare, thinking the voice belongs to the dead former owner of the house.

I've seen scientists explore the chance of asteroid the size that killed the dinos off hit the earth and being able to survive , 0 . just about everything would be on fire .
I do know the jdubs believe that they may have to survive a period of survival before being rescued since some are weak when it comes to food they may very well pass that test . Probably try to eat their neighbor . LOL I've seen some porky ones in my time

I'm surprised the jdubs don't prep , they are the biggest dooms day cult going . that is kinda an interesting show as I'm thinking obsession with the end of the world as we know it may be a mental illness

144,000 before 1935?
by nolongerconfused ini've always thought about this but have never received an answer on how the wbts explaiend the phenomenon.... to my understanding, every member of the wbts had the heavenly hope...however, by 2 classes were created...the heavenly, and earthly hope.... does anyone know the number of jw's as of that famous assembly of 1935 where the earthly hope was revealed and imposed?.
what is the wbts explanation for the thousands of jw's who had heavenly hope now all of a sudden have the earthly hope?.
this leads me to one conclusion...how dare this or any other organization determine what your hope or believe should be...shame on them.

I think they made 144,000 excuses for there being more than was called but the bible does say many are called yet few are chosen . they do say that just because some died due to being murdered does not mean they were accepted the spotless sacrifice and were not acceptable . That's how I see the whole thing in the end it's how they die , natural causes is not acceptable the bible talks of them as being sacrifices on the alter in heaven , I exclude women since they are not allowed to preach the kingdom good news and the apostle paul referred to them as merely being saved thru , faith child bearing and sanctification provided they have a soundness of mind .

Ever wonder this about the annointed?
by free2beme inso in the congregation you had those wine and bread loving annointed people?
but i ask, why did the men that were annointed not immediately appointed as an elder, and then a circuit overseer and so on up the ranks.
it would seem to me, that if god saw them fit to rule in heaven.

that is one of the strangest things about this cult is they invite people of all faiths to come to this thing then spend most of the night helping them understand how the ritual does not include them ........... they want to keep most of the partakers in the closet , so insulting it's just not right , so and so is nuts or ignorant , yadda yadda . They just enjoy being insulting

Still Waiting For the Governing Body To Explain Their New Light
by Cameron_Don inregarding the governing bodys new light relative to matthew 24:45-47, anointedjw.org recently said the following:.
this new light certainly poses a problem for the governing body.
perhaps this is another reason why they have not yet published a sober and scriptural xplanation of this new light.

I thought The WTBTS dogma is that jesus took the 3.5 years of rutherfords incarceration to inspect all the churches and then appointed bible students to do the refining work until the light shines so bright and all the saints have run the course to the finish then he delivers the great crowd and destroys the worlds political system symbolized in daniel by the statue with the clay and iron feet there and so on

they are a strange lot alright , I studied with one for over a year and all he had was the familiar ,it's just some sort of knowing answer , he was and probably still is an elder . I asked him if he ever saw spirits and he said no , apparently normal people can't see spirits , they think you are nuts just for that or demonically possesed , the SOB made me extremely mad one thursday night and I never have anything to do with the religion anymore , I was never convinced he was, "special", in any way . I was in a state of mind to give them yet one more chance to prove they were better than what I read on this board but it all turns out to be true .

NOAHS BIBLICAL FLOOD ACTUALLY HAPPENED, SAYS FAMED ARCHEOLOGIST WHO FOUND THE TITANIC
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inhttp://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12/11/noahs-biblical-flood-actually-happened-says-famed-archeologist-who-found-the-titanic/ .
"the story of noah's ark and its associated flood continues to be retold to children and studied by theologians, alike.
while some dismiss it as a mere fable, others believe wholeheartedly that the event literally unfolded, with a massive down-pouring of water ravaging the earth at god's command.

I think what's spurring this on is the discovery of underwater cities , I think the belief from the WTBTS was that the world prior to the flood was the one continent that had no mountain ranges and was flat so possibly easier to imagine a flood that caused the seperation into 7 continents and the pressure on the crust caused the mountain ranges to appear . sorry I did read the creation book LOL

I thought someone posted an overlapping generation was the new dogma on that , which really sounds absurd , looks like they will just use the , "we are not spirit directed", excuse agian and demand the following be quiet about it
