  The Anointed "Touch" Given WT Publications

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  who actually supplies the "food"?.

  there were, of course, articles that did come through from "anointed" brothers in different countries.

  [footnote #37: in almost all cases the article came because president knorr had sent an assignment to the person to write it.

  Interesting. It becomes more and more evident that they are the today's scribes and Pharisees, real hypocrites!

  According to the Revelation-climax-book we live in the time of the second woe, but why does the third woe begin with the birth of God's Kingdom?

  i went today because i wanted to hear the comments on this wt article.. it did not disappoint.

  "i know i can trust the slave because everything i have ever read from the slave has been for my benefit.

  I went there too and how they gloryfied the slave. An elder mentioned how loving the slave is when they skiped one meeting. It seems that nobody dares to say what the slave was while requiring meeting-attendance 3 times a week. But an other former elder nicely questioned what it means that the bookstudy was skiped, because all the years it was said that the bookstudy will be important when the end comes. But he added that we will undestand it later.

  Humility

  by Olin Moyles Ghost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when discussing doubts/concerns/disagreements about wt doctrines/practices with active jws, have any of you ever been accused of not being humble enough?

  this seems to be a common jw reaction to anyone who disagrees/questions the wt society.

  sometimes it is expressed as do you think you know more than the fds?

  What you say sounds and is very right. I was also accused of not being humble.

  But consider what Jesus said: But from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it. (Matthew 11:12)

  So according to Jesus you have to press forward. You can just sit and what for the WT-society if you want to enter the Kingdom of God.

  Then they missaply 2John 9 -11:

  Everyone that pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God. He that does remain in this teaching is the one that has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to YOU and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into YOUR homes or say a greeting to him. 11 For he that says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.

  The scripture talks about the teaching of the Christ, it does not say the teaching of the Watchtower or the "Governing Body". The Bible should be the authority to all associated to the Watchtower-society, but when there is a contradicion between the WT and the Bible the JW:s chose the WT.

  Here is a webversion: http://www.angelfire.com/mo/flockbook/

  On page 94 it reads:

  Persons who deliberately spread (stubbornly hold to and
  speak about) teachings contrary to Bible truth as taught
  by Jehovah's Witnesses are apostates.

  So does it mean that every witness can have his own verson of the truth? Just kidding. When they write "contrary to Bible truth as taught
  by Jehovah's Witnesses are apostates". They mean as taught by the Governing Body. But why did they not write it plainly? May be they where little bit embarrased to say that plainly.
