  Can an Anointed be Disfellowshipped by the Elders of Earthly Class Now?

  by ProfCNJ in

  hi folks.

  anointed jws have heavenly hope, including the esteemed privilege of reigning as kings and priests with jesus christ.

  while they preach and share practially the same spiritual activities as members of the other sheep (os) do, an anointed jw has a greater distinction.. come now the disfellowshipping standards.

  *** w07 5/1 p. 31 Questions From Readers ***
  However, genuine anointed Christians do not demand special attention. They do not believe that their being of the anointed gives them special “insights,” beyond what even some experienced members of the great crowd may have. They do not believe that they necessarily have more holy spirit than their companions of the other sheep have; nor do they expect special treatment or claim that their partaking of the emblems places them above the appointed elders in the congregation. They humbly remember that some anointed men in the first century did not qualify to serve as elders or ministerial servants.

  (Is this where the demoting of "the anointed" from their position as FDS started, so that the GB could declare themselves the FDS????)

  a friend sent me this link, so i watched it.

  it's a bit hard to watch.

  some truly evil shit goes on in the catholic church, and somehow they think pope francis is going to change that.

  Thank you for sharing.

  It would be great to have a parallel documentary about the WBTS which is no different at all.

  Did You Ever Get Screwed By A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  witnesses are supposed to be the "most honest people in the world".

  most jws i know of do not put business deals in writing.

  they simply "trust their brother".

  A number of times - and the sordid details are unmentionable.

  I was "screwed" figuratively, and repeatedly.

  My wife was raped literally, from age 6 to 13.

  BTW, they are all still in "good standing" (with the apostate Watchtower Corporation, and its apostate ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy).

  At least one is an elder.

  Another was a Circuit Overseer before.

  in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.

  it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.

  we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

  Could someone concisely explain:

  • what is "mild pedophilia"?

  • if an argument is being advanced that it should be more acceptable?

  • if yes, is this a valid argument?

  • if no, what is the purpose of the word "mild"?

  If their is arsenic in the honey, how do you eat it?

  There is one part of the mystery.

  The other part is telling them apart.

  The honey is faith, spirituality and the liberating gospel message (what God has done).

  Religion is the arsenic (apostate legalism, moralism and doctrinal ethnocentrism).

  On the one hand you have to be at least very firm with toxic and destructive persons.

  On the other hand they are (wilfully?) blind to their dysfunction.

  A bit of a no-win situation?

  Something Big is Coming...

  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  The Watchtower Sanhedrin has repeatedly been put on notice of their corruption, but believe firmly that the dumb sheeple have nowhere else to go.

  First up, there are many better places.

  Secondly, it is not "where else" but "whom else".

  "yes, sadly it is only a matter of time before pedophilia and incest becomes an "alternative lifestyle".

  So these folks would like to put same sex relationships in the same category as incest?

  Or suggest that those in such relationships would condone incest?

  Maybe these upstanding religionists would care to answer three simple questions:

  1. Is legalism apostasy?

  2. Is moralism apostasy?

  3. Aren't highly religious folk more prone to incest or infidelity than persons in same sex relationships?
