New Video on the July 2009 Awake

by rifter in

i hope this is the right section to post this!

i just finished a new video discussing the july 2009 awake article, is it wrong to change your religion?.

most of us have been pretty shocked over this one, so i think it's important to get the message out there as much as we can.

ordered by the building committee said the elder "formerly known as" the po (coboe now).

low and behold unknown to 99% of the rank and file the kh which also contains the living quarters of the co is on the selling market.

Seems like one of the reasons for ending the book study arrangement was so changes like this could be made. Days were freed up during the week so congregations could merge into existing buildings. Just my two cents.

This is a very good point.

why is it that ex jdubs always export what the witchtower says about the trinity and argue against that.. anybody who has read the trinity brochure must know how it distorts the quotes, often turning them right around.

the wt thinks the trinity means a three headed god, or makes up other such nonsense.. instead of attacking those whose faith leads them to believe in a triune godhead, maybe these people should find out what the real teaching on the trinity is rather than tub thumping against what the wtbts claims these christians believe.. whatever your opinion, all that really matters is that a christian calls on the name of jesus and looks to him for salvation.

it is the wt that claims you have to have every doctrine in line with their views or you will die.

I just want this to stop!

by mrsjones5 in

as some of you know my husband became ill and we lost our house in indiana.

my parents offered to help and although i really didn't want to do it knowing that my parents have limited resources i really didn't have a choice.

i also wanted to come back to a place that was familiar and where most of my family and friends are.

Very, very sorry to hear this.

The hidden message in the June 15 2009 watchtower.

this study will set the tone for future-proofing the watchtower society doctrine that their governing body is "the faithful slave" mentioned in parable by jesus in matthew24.. i thought as i read the study article starting on p.20 that the most important thing about this piece is what is missing, what is not said.. the first paragraph sets the tone of what they are trying to convey.. "while giving the composite sign of the last days jesus said, who really is the faithful and discreet slave?".

i believe what they are doing with the opening paragraph is placing the authority and position of "the slave" within the context of the signs of the times thus attempting to validate it.

without mentioning when they became such.. they then say that jesus would "reward" and appoint this slave over all his belongings.

I tend to believe we will see very little in the way of "changes" per se.

one Awake! per month instead of 2
study edition of the Watchtower
public edition of the Watchtower
30 minute public talks instead of 45 minutes
no more meetings in private homes
condensed 'Bible study'/Theocratic Ministry School/Service meeting
Presiding Overseer rebranded as Congregation Co-ordinator
anointed not sealed in 1935
generation now the anointed as a group on earth at any one time, thus second change to the generation teaching in just over 10 years
10% increase in Memorial partakers worldwide
selling of much Brooklyn property
steady raising of profile of the Governing Body over the "faithful and discreet slave" class
