  I just caught this in the July 2012 study watchtower:

  "8 Note how “the works of the flesh”

  breed disunity. (Read Galatians 5:19-

  21.) Fornication separates the one practicing

  it from Jehovah and the congregation,

  and adultery can cruelly separate

  children from parents and innocent

  partners from marriage mates. Uncleaness

  affects a person’s unity with God

  and with those who love him. One who

  has attempted to glue two things together

  knows that both surfaces must

  be clean before a proper bond can be

  forged. Engaging in brazen conduct

  demonstrates total disregard for God’s righteous

  laws."

  So they start the paragraph by having the congregation read the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21 and the third one listed is loose conduct in the NWT.

  but in the paragraph they call it BRAZEN conduct!

  I know they came up with this term in the last elders book and when they did a crackdown on porn a few years ago. But in this paragraph it is like they are replacing loose conduct with Brazen conduct in the bible.

  Questions?

  Why?

  Are they on the verge of a revamped NWT for the new millenium? with all the loose conduct taken out of it and replaced with this new word?

  Further, talk to your Christian parents and the congregation elders about your desire

  Yea so that mom and dad can cash in their retirement funds and give it to the kids to use in "jehovahs work" in some 3rd world country

  Threats from the JW mafia (subtle threats)

  by thecrushed in

  2. friends

  my dad recently found out i wasn't coming to meetings and going out in field service.

  he found an excuse to get me alone in his car and just lit into me about it.

  he said that if i'm not going out in service that i'm not one of jehovah's witnesses and the brothers won't be able to trust me when the time comes to go undercover due to being attacked by the authorities.

  " the brothers won't be able to trust me when the time comes to go undercover due to being attacked by the authorities. "

  I'd call out his bullshit on this one

  1. How do they know that they will have to go underground?

  2. How do they know the nature of the persecution? ie they may shoot on site JW's en mass at meetings, assemblies and there will be no "brothers" left to hold meetings etc

  3. Will persecution come in your fathers lifetime? in your lifetime? What is the proof of this???

  IMHO just a bullshit scare tactic to get a chair warmed up at the KH and maybe a couple bucks in the collection plate contribution box

  Reduced Magazines Etc: Scenario Thinking

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me for creating this thread but i believe there are aspects of watchtower downsizing that have not been fully understood or 'fleshed out'.. for example: you have a publishing company whose main source of revenues are book and magazine production and sales.

  their international presence is supported by the profits they make on these.

  so far, so good.... overtime, their products fail to sell.

  As for funding their empire on inheritances, that only goes so far. A lot of elderly witnesses only have their government pension and not a lot more.

  Hey Lady Lee

  this is blatant dishonesty with the congregations and circuits. According to these reports the branch is sitting on over a hundred million $$ and telling us they need more?

  We had a comment today that the branch is out of money and needs more contributions

  What I can''t figure out is Where is the money going???

  something is rotten in the province of ontario
