  i overheard my wife listening to '2023 governing body update #2, presented by kenneth cook jnr.

  a few points i got from it.. new hour requirements.

  quote "with the new hour requirements for pioneers, many us us can share in the pioneer work.

  good questions about their appointment.

  When it comes to the appointment of elders by holy spirit, the explanation is something like this: The holy spirit outlined the requirements in the inspired scriptures for an elder, and if a brother fulfills them and is appointed, it is like holy spirit did it.

  Now how would they argue regarding governing body? There are no requirements in the scriptures, its not even mentioned. And regarding the slave, it was only mentioned, that he is faithful and discreet and distributes spiritual food. But this he only can do, after his appointment. So how do new members qualify then ? And how is Jehovah (or holy spirit or whatever) involved?

  horribel incident, no if, ands or buts. There is no excuse for such an abhorrent act. My condolences to all those affected by it.

  Nonetheless, I see in the upcoming days or weeks JW practice of shunning being targeted by media outlets. JW will usually defend the matter by (wrongly) conflating shunning with disfellowshipping. If they get hard pressed, they will scream persecution and nothing changes...

  Maybe a little glimpse of hope regarding the changed setup of the gb ???

  "Mankind's Search for God" book

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).

  does anyone know the reason why?.

  It was never studied at book study. The reason I know is, because when it came out, I really liked it and hoped for it to be studied, but we never did. And I was too lazy to study it myself anyway...

  We dont know, however, we must be careful not to assume too much.

  The video, with him buying whiskey at a remote store certainly looked suspicious, but is in itself prove of nothing.

  Personally I dont like that guy and his talks, however, it does not give me the right to slap all kind of other unsubstantiated accusations on him.

  Claims like that backfire fast, and we are once again disgruntled ex members who lie whenever we see it fit.

  Two days ago, a reliable source, who has connections to personal acquiantances of AMIII told me the real reason: Health issues.

  Now of course, it still could be a cover up, maybe for alcohol problems etc, but we may that never find out for sure.

  That is very weird, on the German website, AMIII is still mentioned as GB member:

  Zur Leitenden Körperschaft gehören Kenneth Cook, Gage Fleegle, Samuel Herd, Geoffrey Jackson, Stephen Lett, Gerrit Lösch, Anthony Morris, Mark Sanderson, David Splane und Jeffrey Winder. Die Leitende Körperschaft hat ihren Sitz in unserer Weltzentrale in Warwick (New York, USA).

  How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.

  instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .

  they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

  Reading sometimes through older literatur, they used much more words, more sophisticated language, but once you digested it, you realize, it was the same nonsense, sometimes even worse than now...

  excellent, the morons at head quarter have to get used to uncomfortable questions from well informed legal departments.

  Typical example of double speak and hypocrisy.

  Sad thing, most JW would not be bothered learning about it, because they buy into this "Satan against us" ideology, therefore in spirtual warfare any weapon is sanctified. Sad really...
