  The point is Scientist they show what they want us to believe. Just like religions their part of the System to control us. The history we are tought is not the real actual one, in some parts if an evidence doesn't fit their agenda then it is hidden from the general public.

  Memorial 2014, my observations and the "New Light" for the Anointed ones

  by JustHuman14 in

  i have attended to the memorial, just for family reasons, but i managed to fish some points from the talk, that are tricky ones.

  ok, most of the time has been consumed to point out who should partake the emblems, the 2 class dogma, and very little about christ, apart from the usual.

  i thought the focus should be on christ and the fact he died for a course.. according to the speaker, the number of the partakers is 13,600 (i don't recall the exact number but it was just about there).

  I have attended to the Memorial, just for family reasons, but I managed to fish some points from the talk, that are tricky ones. OK, most of the time has been consumed to point out who should partake the Emblems, the 2 class dogma, and very little about Christ, apart from the usual. I thought the focus should be on Christ and the fact He died for a course.

  According to the speaker, the number of the partakers is 13,600 (I don't recall the exact number but it was just about there). I recall when I was a JW, the number has dropped just about 8,500, so we have a significant increasing figures of the Anointed over the past years.

  The speaker have quoted a verse from 1 Cor.11:25,26: 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

  Then he stated that the Memorial is only for the Anointed ones, and once they all die, then we will not celebrate the Memorial any more. I have been attending to the Memorial for many years, (once I was the speaker as well)but I don't recall any statement from the WT like that. The question is: Are we going to witness an "new light"? I guess time will show...But having in mind that the number instead of going down, is going up, perhaps the WT, either will try to stop any new ones trying to get a transfer to the Anointed class, or they will have to come up with a new explanation, since the figures are not following their expectations of a graduate decrease and the end of the physical presence on Earth of the Small Remnant.

  Going back to the verse 26 above, the WT cannot explain the fact that, if Jesus came invisibly in 1914, according to their teachings, then why do they still drink and eat the body of Christ, since He is now present?

  Evidence of Jesus being Married?

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/jesus-wife-fragment-is-not-a-fake-scientists-claim-9253395.html.

  a harvard professor is claiming a fragment of papyrus seemingly mentioning that jesus had a wife is an ancient document and not a forgery, following a series of tests.. the text is written in coptic and contains a dialogue in which jesus refers to "my wife.

  "karen king, a professor at the harvard divinity school, writes in the harvard theological review that the papyrus is almost certainly a product of ancient christians and probably dates to eighth-century egypt, based on carbon dating and chemical tests on the ink.. none of the testing has produced any evidence that the fragment is a modern fabrication or forgery, prof king and her team concluded.. the fragment, which has some legible lines on the front and on the back, contains the words: jesus said to them, my wife .... she will also be my disciple.. james yardley from columbia university, and alexis hagadorn from columbia university libraries, used a technique called micro-raman spectroscopy to determine that the carbon character of the ink matched samples of other papyri that date from the first to eighth centuries ce.. malcolm choat from macquarie university examined the fragment at hds and offered an independent assessment of the handwriting.. prof king first announced the existence of the fragment in september 2012, at the international coptic congress in rome, where she dubbed it "the gospel of jesus's wife.".

  at the extj.com forum, a very serious scandal is being discussed regarding a potential misappropriation of funds by mexico's branch.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?24740-denuncia--quot-proyecto-fantasma-quot-salon-de-asambleas-de-guadalajara-o-robo-de-fondos.

  though the situation may not be quite uncommon, below you will find an overview:.

  a member of mexico's branch committee went to guadalajara to inform the brothers that a plot of land had been donated for the construction of an assembly hall.

  Typical WT....I was raised in that cult, and I know lots of iniside information. My dad was CO, and he knew members of the GB and Freddie...any way, I can tell you my experience, and I'm sure it happened to many other places in the World.

  A brother donated the land to build a KH. We all contribute for that with money, plus we all worked for free for the building work. WT gave NOTHING!!! At the end of the day, the hall was used by 3 congregations, and we all have to pay RENT to the society, because we are using the hall!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I mean that's ridiculous: We build the hall, donate money, work for free, and WT comes and asks RENT...Boy and they call them selves NON Profit Organization....

  28 if a man happens to meet a virgin girl who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies down with her and they are discovered,+29 the man who lay down with her must give the girls father 50 silver shekels, and she will become his wife.+ because he humiliated her, he will not be allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.

  hi fellow speakers (sorry, brothers only!):.

  my first public talk, given in my early 20s, was actually a twenty-minute part of a symposium talk.

  my pioneer partner friend and i each had twenty minutes and a "servant" had the concluding part.

  2. friends

  a lot of people felt that the usa's reputation was terrible, especially under president bush.

  then obama became president and we heard how the rest of the world felt that finally they had a person that would respect them and their views and work with them!

  the new president even ot a nobel peace prize because of the world's perception.. what's your view of america?
