"Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"

by stuckinarut2 in

so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.

"jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".

it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

During an elder meeting in our congregation one of the hard liners said "there must be a sinner here because

Jehovahs blessing has left the congregation".

The difference between Jesus and one of his brothers

reading a lot about gerrit losch and his juridical statement.. when i judge the situation with a "spiritual view" i have to conclude.

that gerrit's behavior is more like the apostle peter's denial of christ.. .

when jesus crist had advocates like gerrit, and took his activities in a. first century corporation and denied leading the christian activities.

he never died on the stake or cross. He was then being able conducting

the GB choir at the first century anual meetings and managing his

This is so unbelievable and it supports my wife's view that JW and mormon will merge someday.

It's impossible they are so stupid to copy and past. There must be a plan isn't it?

Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith"

by breakfast of champions in

this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

Here in the Netherlands (west of Germany for the US reader), the Branch closed all the non-dutch foreign language congregations.

2 reasons:

1. too many dutch JW fled to the foreign field and congregations. It seems an escape route;

2. branch stated that the foreigner has to learn the language of the country. (this is a flip / flop because the JW had to learn other language first to

search for the foreigner).

I think it was to close down the escape route of JW's to the foreign congregations and to level down local meetings at the kingdom hall.

Maybe the US will get this new "arangement" too. Many here became upset and had to move to another congregation.

In our congregation, a dutch brother, clothed in Franch style with alpino hat, is singing loud in the French language during the dutch meeting.

That's the effect...

I am JW.ORG

by LogCon in

famous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!

it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

It realy hurts me to see this false worship.
