  The ONLY basis for power and control is the parable of "the faithful and discreet slave" ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, it seems that the only basis for the governing body / organization's claim to have divine backing and therefore control and power is based on the scripture at matthew :.

  "who really is the faithful and discreet slave?"....

  if that is correct, and this scripture has been thoroughly de-bunked in many other threads, then the fact is the emporer has no clothes on!.

  I know two very well. I think one started partaking strictly for the reason of status. He is a loser in real life and for some reason isn't allowed to be a ministerial servant or elder.

  The other is an older lady who started partaking a few years ago. She seems normal.

  They don't want publishers/pioneers on the internet. They might happen upon an apostate and lose their faith.

  Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings?  He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!

  by RoyalFlushPhil in

  did you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?

  this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.

  i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

  If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull $hit

  i was thinking of this when i was sitting at the kingdom hall today.

  one of the paragraphs in the watchtower stated that the type/anti type teachings were too hard for some to understand.

  i could never figure them out never made sense to me.

  I really think that was the wts plan all along to baffle the average publisher to make them feel submissive to the organization because they couldn't make sense of nonsense teachings.

  there's something that i've always wondered about yet could never truly understand.

  does anyone know why during district assemblies a prayer is done during the last day after coming back from lunch?.

  i can't quite remember if it's done other days but i believe this is done on the last day.

  Something tells me 1914...

  by Monsieur in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after todays watchtower lesson, and the lessons coming, something tells me bigger and bigger new understandings are coming.

  and that it will culminate with 1914. notice how jesus is now coming, and no longer already here.

  the current understanding is both, he is here and hes also coming.

  Until people start questioning the overlapping generation teaching 1914 can be used for at least another 50 years.

  Now if they said they made a mistake in the math by 100 years and that Christ was enthroned in heaven in 2014 that would make more sense for an end times cult. It would renew the urgency for the ones that would stay and there are enough brain dead dubs that would lap it up and say "what a loving provision from Jehovah"

  This resonates with me. I can't have a conversation with the person who gave birth to me without her subtly indicating that I'm somehow lacking.

  Types and anti types

  by Deltawave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according the watchtower study of may 10th, it has been made clear no prophetic meaning should be given to a a scripture or passage unless the bible itself gives clear interpretation of it.

  therefore daniel 7 especially gives it's fulfillment to nebuchadnezzar only.

  no future kingdom or 2520year wait til 1914. no gentile times or "this generation".

  I don't think they will abandon 1914. Then they'd have to abandon the overlapping generation.
