Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 05-20-2012 WT Study (HOPE)

to that of the anointed?.

as with anointed.

the living hope of anointed christians.

Did not the WT have a QTR about the second sealing of the anointed? No one mentioned that at the meeting - they only spoke about the first sealing and remaining faithful. I thought that they get a second seal when they prove "true" and die "without sinning"?

", i said "no" then he said "why not, you know we're near the end".

by Greybeard in

do any of you use medical marijuana?

i go to aa and there are a few who believe medical marijuana is an "outside issue" and they are ok with it.

i don't know... alcohol doesn't work for me but if it did, i would use it... i wish i could find a "new drug" that works lol.

A relative has MMJ and is licensed to grow his own, quanity is monitored, got stopped by police and they checked his license and found it ok

has it for chronic pain, insomnia, emotional distress - has a certain type which as I understand, there are many types, that controls the pain issues.

The only reason it was banned in the first place back in the early 1900's was because of the rising dependability on alcohol and the heavies behind the distribution of it.. currently, medications for pain, etc. are being made out of MJ and it is reported that legal pain killers can be prescribed by dr's .. apparently there is a hue and cry to have it legalized in many states and provinces of Canada and US.. after all, wasn't Coca Cola using cocaine in their original ingredients... cough med was also laced with drugs..

Hemp was so closely related to Mj that they even stopped growing that - a miracle plant that could stop starvation , have so many uses that it would put some companies out of business today..and clean the earth of pollution, because of those dear cronies in govt who felt it was akin to MJ - you can only grow that with a govt license.

anyone know the latest number?

just curious.. .

It is a slippery slope they are teaching about some of the remnant being "mentally unbalanced" or "emotionally unstable" mainly due to the fact they haven't said when this problem started to raise its ugly head.... was it in 1916 when russell died and Rutherford took over and later the GB was set up - who is to say who is unbalanced... since we are all imperfect, who is to say what we have been learning is from those who are mentally stable??? No one can point fingers - its the societies teaching that is unbalanced... they forget that the role of a prophet is to reveal the will of God, and guess what? That will does not make mistakes... the society has made a lot! and maybe this is Jah's way of pointing this out.... raise the numbers, change the "generation" teaching again, making 1914 obsolete which then extends the old system to "we don't really know" date..... which is what it should have been from the start!

If what SGOE said from Barr is correct -- only 20% are valid GB members -- of that 1 in 3 statistically are mentally unstable... are we in trouble???

my JW guy married me - an unbeliever-- and never pulled the headship control over me, even when I became a JW --in fact, he was for women receiving equal pay and position -- he was an elder later on and never changed his outlook on women!! We did everhtything together and got great enjoyment out of life... Loved that guy, now deceased
