  what do i mean well when there was a famine in israel david inquired of jehovah, jehovah told him that the gibeonites were not being treated right so until david fixed the problem of how they were being treated jehovahs blessing was withheld from the nation jehovah does not change until we start treating people right by not shunning them and anouncing sinners names from platform as no longer jw jehovah will not bless the efforts of those promoting unloveing behavior

  I think they are preparing for "persecution" in the form of lawsuits, losing tax exempt status and bad press. They need to build up that nest egg so they can continually show that "the work is speeding up". This is essentially a man's organization so I don't buy into the losing of Jehovah's blessing.

  Born Ins Vs Converts

  by JW_Rogue in

  did you ever feel like born ins were looked at differently than those that were converted?

  i always felt that there was a level of suspicion around those "raised in the truth".

  that we were always suspected of being jws to make our family happy.

  I guess I shouldn't have been insulted since deep down I always knew it was true at least in my case. lol

  My wife is very much in although she complains about the Elders and cliques in the congregation she always comes back to the same point. This is the truth and weren't not here for people but for Jehovah. She couldn't watch the whole May Broadcast though because she said "I get it, we should give more" and walked out. Later though she actually did give more as a one time thing. So not sure what that says about where she is at.

  Don't forget the many RBC Elders who own their own contracting company. It's amazing how many contractors are Elders.

That we were always suspected of being JWs to make our family happy. That our faith was less than those who converted. Also, those that converted after a career and marriage always seemed to find it odd that young JWs struggled with those things.

  My wife's first language isn't English so maybe just plant the idea of moving to a foreign language congregation with her to learn the language. While I'm learning (which can take a long time) I won't be able to be a MS, FS will be a cursory presentation at best and I'll be able to miss meetings because they aren't in my language anyway.

  I don't think I could pull of the whole anxiety issue. I've been giving talks since I was a kid it would be very strange to all of the sudden start having anxiety about it. I'm married so I could try the "stepping down to focus on my family" but then I'd be putting my wife through undue scrutiny. Perhaps leave to foreign language group where I'd be virtually invisible (and useless to the Elders).

  Reasoning on the New "1900 Years" JW Theology (from David Splane)

  by FusionTheism in

  inspired by the three recent threads on david splane's new video declaring, among other things, that there was no faithful slave for 1900 years, and there may not have even been any genuine anointed ones during those years, i decided to make this post.. here are the three previous threads on this topic:.

  Something I never understood and I tried to point this out to others is that with this new FDS doctrine being anointed is no longer important. These ones who are supposed to rule eternally in the heavens have zero special standing in the congregation. Now it's pretty much the GB and everybody else is a nobody. They even question the mental capacity of those professing to be anointed.
