  Happy are those concious of their spiritual need?

  by NikL in

  that was the title of the public talk given by the co today.

  it's a statement i've heard over the years many many times.it's based on the nwt translation of matthew 5:3i always use a different version of the bible when i follow the scriptures because it lets me get a better view of the scripture in question.well, imagine my surprise when i read the scripture in the nrsv bible to realise it says something completely different.the nwt renders it...3 “happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.. however the nrsv says...3 “blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.. i was quite surprised at the completely different meaning so i looked at other translations and they pretty much all say the same thing.

  the only one who says anything like spiritual need is the nwt.

  Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need. That means if you're not happy it's your own fault. Blame the victim.

  Some prayers really annoy me

  by stillin in

  i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.

  co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".

  not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

  Im not pretending to believe anything. I know it's all a lie. Bullshit as we call it in these parts. I stay in good standing for selfish reasons and along the way I have helped many of my loved ones wake up which would not have happened if I were an outsider.

  the relationship between local elders and the circuit overseer has fluctuated over the years.

  in the sixties, .

  the circuit overseer simply appointed all the servants.

  I have a story about how it all works.

  Brother H was a pioneer, elder and gave talks on the conventions and assemblies. He was a very polished speaker and very zealous for the truth. He would move to congregations where there was a need for elders. He was in our little congregation and was moving on to another after being there for a couple of years.

  The remaining elder body consisted of two older brothers and they would not give brother H a recommendation letter to serve. It turns out that brother H was taking advantage of some of the older brothers and sisters financially to enrich himself.

  The circuit overseer was good buddies with brother H and came specially to meet with the two older elders. They made the co aware of their reservations. Circuit overseer said that's not how it works in the organization. He wrote a letter of recommendation and forced the two elders hands by threatening to close the congregation.

  Fast forward a few years brother H is caught cheating on his wife with a younger pioneer sister and his wife rats him out to the authorities and he is charged with embezzling money.

  The great tribulation that no one ever talks about is the one recorded at acts 7:11. It is the lost tribulation.

  When I pray for the congregation I never ask for forgiveness. That's what jebus died for, if he even ever existed.
