  apparently, some community leaders and local citizen folks decided enough is enough and took matters into their own hands to attack a watchtower religion of jehovah's witnesses.

  i apologise for reposting if some of you already saw this video footage before.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7vzz3ubpf8&feature=related.

  This looks like the same event in Burgas, Bulgaria that 3mozzies posted about over a year ago.

  it's for their annual feature, "surprising six figure jobs.

  " had the interview been longer, i'd have loved to mention the need to carve out a career, despite my religion and parents' lack of support for an education.. cnn money - "surprising six figure jobs".

  here's my website, if you'd like to listen to my voice demos and read my blog.

  Don't forget to say things like "Reproach on the Organization", "Stumbled", "Poor Witness", etc. Give them a well-earned dose of their own loaded language!

  I wanted to get a list of arguments that illustrate how the Watchtower Society is or isn't following 1st century christianity today.

  WTBTS publications exemplify what Pinytus criticized during the second century (according to Eusebius, Book IV, chapter 23--emphasis is mine):

  "Pinytus, replying to this epistle, admires and commends Dionysius, but exhorts him in turn to impart some time more solid food, and to feed the people under him, when he wrote again, with more advanced teaching, that they might not be fed continually on these milky doctrines and imperceptibly grow old under a training calculated for children."

  "Safeguard Your Mind" assembly targeting apostate thinking

  by promised_presence in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently attended the second day of the 2 day assembly for safeguarding your mind.

  the first talk was entitled "feed your mind at jehovah's table".

  the first portion of this talk specifically targeted apostates warning members to not listen to them "even if they were once strong in the truth or had great responsiblity in the congregation".

  "... often bring out points that may be true, but are taken way out of context"

  Rather like the way WTBTS uses the Bible in their publications!

  Publisher's I D Card?....

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anybody know if all "publishers" still carry one of these?.

  sister blues came home from the ministry and was a little nonplussed because the c/o had said that publishers were not agents of the congregation.

  they were just concerned neighbours visiting ........this was in the context of 'how to deal with 'no callers' signs' ...... no, i don't get it either, she has not been issued one of these since she moved to a new congregation and i said that this card would put a lie to that statement.

  Did anybody else notice the space where the "presiding minister" is to sign the card? This is on an ID card issued by an organization that does not have an ordained clergy. Gotta love that cognitive dissonance!
