The "Conscious of their Spiritual Need" Class

by cattails in

jw
friends

i've started considering myself one of the members of the conscious class.

and this post is aimed at those still in and feeling trapped.. at matthew 5:3 jesus said: happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.".

that being the case i'm going to be partaking of the emblems this march 30th, god willing.. if you're still in and your eyes have been opened, if you are conscious of a spiritual need within you that the wt isn't recognizing.... then praise god and christ and keep remembering the ransom sacrifice that purchased your salvation and that for all people.. if you're of the "conscious class" partake this year.

Thanks for your answer wobble, and I appreciate your situation, but what about going an hour away for such an event to a congregation where you aren't known. Tell them you're traveling and have a new song book and NWT with you. How would they track you? Would they hold the numbers figure until they get confirmation from another congregation that you're an active Witness? They would most likely be glad that this anointed brother or sister was present and thought the event so important as to stop by the nearest KH to partake.

But for those still trapped int the Borganization perhaps it would be a good message to the Governing Body that there are "Awake & Conscious" Witnesses sitting in among others in the KHs all over who know Jesus is indeed their Mediator a are going to follow his command to "keep doing this in memory of me".

(Matthew 5:3) “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them."

has 'construct' as a leader and not an individual that simply keeps metamorphosing like a snake shedding its skin.

That's right GromitSK a many headed snake, poli-cephalous herpes hydra serpens, and it wreaths its way into the lives of unsuspecting gullibles and chokes and sucks the freedom out of 'em.

Thanks so much Perry. I fully agree about Jesus being the Mediator for all people and that his sacrifice brought salvation to all putting faith in him and his resurrection.

I appreciate your words of faith so much. Thank you.

As I mentioned in another post:

It may very well be a means of telling the GB that there are a lot of "Awake & Conscious" Witnesses among the throngs sitting in KH's all over.

Mill Hill Disfellowshippings

by BorgHater in

jw
friends

a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.

i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

Hi PP, I'd like to ask about statements you made in an earlier post:

2 elders and the servant involved in what the Society laughably refers to as "confidential" work.

Could you give us some examples of this "confidential" work you and the others were involved in, like a specific reference, please don't misunderstand my intentions I'm not questioning the work, just have no idea what's involved from further descriptions and details will perhaps give me an "aha" moment on this point. Thanks.

All 4 were disfellowshipped for apostasy - the MS went first, then the three elders in due time, one of whom was a partaker of the emblems.

Could you tell us if the work involved lead this brother to partake of the emblems. Like for example did the things he learned from reading the Scriptures develop in him the want to partake. Sort of like what Ed Dunlap realized (which I read in CoC). Of course if you aren't the brother involved you may only be able to give an approximation of what he had in mind if anything. But you must have spoken with one another, if not before the DF'ing then perhaps afterwards.

I'd love to be able to hear more from you and the other brothers involved if you can encourage them to take part in this forum.

I much appreciate your time and your willingness to share your thoughts and experience here.

It seems that the only options lefts for the conscious class are limited to leaving by fading, DF/DA, stay captive, play undercover apostate, or die in it. That’s it.

There may yet be another way for the "Conscious Class" to assert itself. It will take a gutsy approach and face possible reproach.

That is to partake of the emblems this March 30th, recognizing the ransoming sacrifice of the only Mediator between God and all people.

The WT leadership will be forced into making some quick re-thinking due to the ever increasing "Awake & Conscious" throngs actively attending KHs all over.

If you consider yourself of those in the "Conscious Class" take the next step, take the emblems, let the GB know their overlapping generations have had their day.

At Matthew 5:3 Jesus said: “Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them."

That being the case I'm going to be partaking of the emblems this March 30th, God willing.

If you're still in and your eyes have been opened, if you are conscious of a spiritual need within you that the WT isn't recognizing...

Then praise God and Christ and keep remembering the ransom sacrifice that purchased your salvation and that for all people.

If you're of the "Conscious Class" partake this year. Be brave, be strong, be a Christian unashamed of the Good News.

Take of the emblems and declare you're "conscious of your spiritual need" as Matthew 5:3 brings out.

Wow, that video on the WCG becoming Grace Church International was definitely jawdropping.

Hey, PP, what would you say the chances would be of the WTS ever becoming a miracle of that sort?

For one I wouldn't think that the GB is gutsy enough like the Tkach's to do something like that, the

money and power are too much to loose for them.

One more thought about the video, the shake up of the WCG left some off-shoots just as legalistic

as Arrmstrongism was, and some even more legalistic, and they took some of the flock with them. Wow!

What would this forbode for the WTS? Would the Mediator issue wake up enough people for a mass schism?

When misery loves company

by cattails in

when misery loves company.... .

it is a tongue in cheek look at going door to door.

highly acclaimed in jw e-mail circles.. this links to a video by jw brother who has a bad day in service but his bible student makes progress so i guess for him it isn't so bad.http://gravytrain5.com/movies/bad_day.html .

cattails

LOL! thanks for your comments on the video.

The brothers and sisters really seem to get a kick out of this.

The exaggeration is so obvious and that's what makes it funny.

The householder who punches him in the head is when I laughed out loud,

not that I like violence or anything but I'd be ready to do a head-slap (V-8 style)

on the brother's head for being such a dimwit. There are a lot of questions left

unanswered. What happened to his car? How did the SUV owner get the dog poop stink

out of his vehicle? Will the newbie also be similarly cursed as his teacher in field service?

Will there be a sequel?

--I frankly hope not.

I keep wondering why Paul Apollos signs his post with the initials 'PP'.

Paula Pollos

?

I do find constant references to the Bible tiresome.

I find it funny this was said by a Gravatar who looks like a shocked purple triangle with a brain.

This should be a logo for the Conscious Class . Whaddaya say? Nice avatar GromitSK.
