  2. beliefs

  as reported from a recent co visit talk: .

  the man with the inkhorn is picturing the governing body, who has the task of marking people for salvation ezek.

  9:2,4.. it used to be christ's brothers, the remnant, the anointed, and you better help them* or be a goat as per the math:25 judgement.

  We can only hope this all backfires on them.
  
  I can see this borganization continuing to dwindle in growth until they actually start shrinking.

  If man evolved?

  by tornapart in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know anyone who believes in evolution is going to say that there is no 'if' about it.

  however.... if man evolved over hundreds of thousands of years ago, why were there only about 200-300 million people alive 2,000 years ago?

  surely there'd have been many billions by then?.

  I admire those who are willing to teach and explain science to people. I don't have the patience for it. Once I read and understand and "get it" I have trouble exercising patience for those who still don't. Kudos to you.

  so we had the woman version.

  let it rip guys - what type of woman makes you just want to get her know her better - the one that makes you take that risk and walk on over to start a conversation?.

  Governing Body - Consulting Demons?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a serving witness, i am not foolhardy enough to ask elders this question, because their 'praetorian guard' instincts would kick in, and i would be treated as an anti-christ.. w07 1/1 p. 28 par.

  11- "it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

  my question is simply based on this 'inspired' 'spiritual food at the proper time'; please put a little meat on the bone and tell all 7+ million of us, how do receive these "divine truths" from spirit creatures whom you cannot identify?.

  The alien story is more plausible than demons, IMO.

  Are you a dabbler in Witchcraft?

  by StopTheTears in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.

  some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .

  witchcraft is an evil thing.

  What's evil about witchcraft is that they don't worship the bronze-age war-god of the ancient Hebrew texts. It is nothing more than that.

  Oh, and the dabbling.

  What was the recent change made regarding baptisms?

  by Witness My Fury in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just saw a post by splash on the commision transcript thread: (pasted below).

  we had a talk at our hall recently, basically saying that there have been lots of letters written to the uk branch, questioning and complaining about a new change introduced for the baptisms at the sad and ca.. the talk did not try to reason, it did not try to explain.. the talk was "do as you are told, don't question what you are told".. we were told to do as the song instructs us "listen, obey and be blessed".. we were told that this change was from jehovah so keep up with his chariot.. i think this talk was given in quite a few locations around the country.. what was that all about please?.

  Wow, the UK is WAY behind the USA with that change. I was just a kid when they last baptized as part of the session here in the USA and I'm 45 now.
