WTS claims to shine as brightly as the Sun

by cattails in

just saw this pop up at the fuentes' forum extjforum.com.

http://www.extjforo.com/foro/showthread.php?t=15473 .

it's a scan (you can thank iloowy for the scan) of the march 15, 2010 watchtower where there's a picture of a radiant sun of a wt logo along with a tm mark right next to a paragraph that says 'they "will shine as brightly as the sun"' (matthew 13:43).. .

The graphic doesn't even fit in with all the other illustrations in the article.

It seems oddly out of place and too abstract.

Do you think they'll change it in the printed copies to go out in a couple of months

because of all the discussion and the outcry here about it?

Could it be that it was a mistake? Is there some other graphic

that they should have used and this is just a place holder?

We've never gotten articles on pdf before so maybe this is

a freak accident and they should have used a different graphic

but it wasn't available by release time? Naaaaaa.... the WTS

is too controlling and too rigid to allow any mistakes like that.

Thanks for noticing the changes, cameo-d, interesting.

What really floors me is the TM to the right of the logo.

And then to associate this with the Matthew 13:43 verse.

It is so brazen and self-assuming, isn't it? Or is it just me,

because they seem to attribute all the glory to the WTS.

Assembly Call: PLEASE Come Back & Help Us Out---Ministerial Servants & Elders!

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was told they were practically begging those elders and servants who are no longer "being used" to help carry the load once again.

these people are unbelievable!.

cattails

It's just another tactic to make people feel like they're wrong for not following WT directions. If you're a qualified brother but aren't helping out then the WTS says "shame on you". But they don't really want biblically qualified brothers to teach the Bible to people. They want Organization men to teach the WTS rules and regulations to the followers.

Can a witness avoid ever being disfellowshipped or reproved?

by dgp in

jw
friends

people, a simple question this time.

since the society has such a complex set of rules, how likely is the average witness to be disfellowshipped?

reproved?

cattails

this proven in the fact that many posters on here are active and living a lie to everyone.

I don't see that I'm living a lie to anyone. My life is what it is. As much as I would like to do some things differently I'm having to make choices, one of the choices is not to lose family and friends I have now. If the WTS didn't have the stupid shunning policy non of my family or friends would shun me if I left would they?

So I do what I feel I have to. If that's leading a double life to you well maybe it is. But my life isn't a lie to me, "it is what it is", (a phrase I say mocking someone in oversight who was very fond of saying it all the time, ex. "Field Service isn't hard, it is what it is," yeah right).

Did You WANT To Talk To Disfellowshipped People?

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you at least want to say "hi"?

or did you avoid them like the plague?.

cattails

Yeah, I've gotten talked to twice in the last few months for talking to DF'ed ones.

Mind you they were at the hall, and I just said I was happy to see them. Well,

got spotted and taken to the side school. I think I'm on double secret probation

as a result.
