if i were a jehovah's witness, i would definitely want to be part of the anointed class.. if i were baptized into the religion and had answered all the questions correctly, how long would it take before i could claim anointed status?
apparently if i claim status, i'm questioned by circuit representatives who either agree or disagree.
i'm confused as to how someone would know they were of the heavenly class.
Thank you JuanMiguel, for taking the time to write this post (article!). I learned a lot from it, and plan to re-read it later. Do you have a blog, or other writings anywhere online, articles, etc? I'd be very interested in them if you do.
(Unlrelated comment: I always enjoy Wobble's posts too. He's so insightful, yet always kind.)
so this weekend my wife had a major grand mal seizure for the first time in her life.
she was rushed to the er.
a few hours later while i was at her side she had another major one.. it was the scariest moment in my life.
The doctors could not find a reason, but said that most likely it was brought on my stress.
My husband's been through a lot of health problems, and "brought on by stress" is doctor-speak for "WE HAVE NO FREAKIN IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS" Over the years, i have heard SO many people go to a doctor for various symtpoms, and if they can't find anything in their med school flow chart, they brililantly pronounce it to be ..... .STRESS!
i know many on here have used some website with voice recordings on them---usually embarassing talks given in the past.
can someone please tell me where you can upload recordings (for free)?.
thanks..
http://www.centralprint.net/jwtalks/ This one even has some very recent ones.
i've only recently (within the last year) started listening to christian music.
some of it is pretty cheesey, but i'm getting into a lot of it.
right now i really like brandon heath and casting crowns.

I like those too, Lilly. Brotherdan, did you ever see the version of "I'm Not Who I was" done by some exJWs at a WNFJ convention?
article includes new scans of beth-sarim's deed dedicating it to the old testament "princes," published by the watchtower society in a 1930 golden age magazine, and a link to the entire issue -- never before put online.

on jwfacts, there is a quote that points the emphesis that the watchtower places on certain chapters of the bible.
5 chapters are mentioned specifically, with matthew 24 being the dominant occurance.
this chapter focuses on "the last days" as well as the "faithful and discreet slave.
Don'tplace, i would be willing, but i only have the '09 version. Would that be ok? I'm kind of leery trying to find and download the '10 version, because for some reason, getting the other one downloaded was really time consuming and problematic. Maybe i was using the wrong links, don't know what i'm doing, etc. LOL. I'd love to search the chapters of the Gospel of John. What a great idea!

hi guys, i found a link that was posted here a while back, that had recordings of a ca in december, 2010.
(thanks) now, my friend would like to listen to all of it, as her college daughter just attended one here in arizona recently.
our question is - how similar are they to each other?
Wobble: LOL, great suggestions! I just listened to one of the talks from the CA, and i was jarred when the speaker said "the blood of Christ" because it was in the verse he wanted to get some other point from. But he moved on quickly from that, and only expounded on the other part of the verse that seemed to support his point. -- Also it stood out to me the UNBELIEVABLE repetitiveness of the talks. I've been to 2 conventions and listened to some talks online, and as those on here say, they have only a few points they hammer OVER and OVer. And of course, it's all LAW, no GOSPEL.

OK. Thanks, that's what i thought. I just wanted to confirm that for her, so she knows she'll be getting the scoop on what the daughter heard.

I see that it's like conventions, in that all the talks use the same basic outline. So, would it be safe to say that the talks have VERY much the same content from place to place?

" god raised up bold champions for his word, among whom were luther, zwingli, melanchthon, wycliffe, knox and others.
" (divine plan of the ages) um...hello??
bold champions for his word?
DIng: That would make a good youtube, someone studying the Reformers, because they were bold champions of God's Word. And then maybe they'd be reproved or something.
Wobble: Do you know what year those articles were published, were they in the WT? I do have the cd, maybe i can find it.
