good morning everybody!!.
ok ive heard only "activejws in good standing" can attend, what if youre irreguar?
how are they enforcing this?
Here in the North East there's two sites I know of where tickets aren't required.
Natick, MA and Springfield, MA.
The Natick assembly hall is in Bacon St. and has scheduled meetings for both the Saturday and Sunday sessions.
If you show up dressed for it, bring a songbook and old Bible I don't think anyone will be saying anything to you.
If you go, why not bring along a voice recording device you can discreetly carry in your pocket or purse?
apologies is this has already been discussed.
i came across this website www.
is this a new splinter group among jw's?.
No no no Cedars, you're behind the times ol' chap.
She's talking about the 345 or so that partook of the emblems in Reno.
The Society sent 4 bro's from Bethel HQ to look into this and sort things out.
They've deleted the BOE and dispersed the Reno Cong into four other Circuits,
not other four neighboring congregations, no, split it into four different Circuits.
HQ feels that the quartering would be hint enough for any other Congos in the
area that are feeling like they too are of God's Children with a heavenly hope.
Besides the two who are making the AnointedJW website there's literally
thousands who are feeling like they no longer trust the Watchtower to decide
what should be their hope. The GB is curling it's upper lip and acting up.
I started partaking in 2007 and know 3 others who likewise have started
partaking. If you're still in and have come to Christ then it's an obvious step
if you can't just leave due to family. May the New Partakers keep growing!
It's a Crisis of Confidence! To not Trust the GB and Trust in Jesus instead!
we've been getting texts from our daughter all morning.
flash flooding is making a real mess of the front range, we're watching the weather channel and the streets in boulder look like rivers.
daughter is standing by for evacuation orders, not sure where they're going to take her or how - probably ng vehicles.. i'll post more if i hear anything dramatic..
I hope you guys out west make it through ok
here in the North East we're having flash floods as well. With incredible thunder and lightning and
several towns have lost power. On the way home I saw a police cruiser that had gone off the road and was a real wreck.
There were two fire engines and an ambulance at the site of the accident.
My windshield wipers were going as fast as they could and the rain was coming down in sheets so fast that it was a guessing game whether you were on the right lane or not sometimes. I just kept following the red brake lights in front of me as I made the half hour long trek home that turned into a twice as long commute, but thank god I made it home.Feeling bad for all those now still out there. Lightning is so bad there's no delay till the thunder, one thunder clap just jolted the house and I felt the vibration on the computer table as I write this. Rain is coming down so fast the road in front of the house has about two inches of water flowing down the street at quite a pace.
so, service meeting last night.
bro handling the "false prophet" part was notably disturbed.
every time he spoke of previous "expectations" his body language was like "oh my god, can you believe i'm saying this?
The brother who gave the talk in the Congo I attend first gave an introduction saying what part we'd be considering, saying the title, then where the source info was from, then had his wife come up and do a presentation at the door. Then... he opened up the discussion by asking the audience "how would you respond to the question?"
At first I thought, maybe he knows TTATT and doesn't want to say anything himself. Then I thought, not this guy, he wants people in the audience to open themselves up and if anyone says anything not supportive of the current view then they'll be marking that one.
I don't know, maybe I'm being very paranoid. But it sure sounded to me like a trap to get those who do know the WTS has likened itself to an inspired prophet and made false prophesies to expose themselves by giving information that proves the WTS has acted in the past as a "false prophet".
Besides why title a part like this unless there are people out there actually claiming the WTS is a false prophet and requiring attention be given to this by the writers of the OKM rag.
what was your wake-up call(s) before you left the jw s organization?
.
i just recieved a copy of the new book "imitate their faith" and notice it was printed in the german branch, not at wallkill.. why would they ship books here (the us) from germany instead of printing them in wallkill?.
the new tracts were printed in canada.. is something going on at the wallkill printery that would would hinder book production there?.
A Bethel speaker out of Walkill just gave a talk at our Congregation in New England.
He mentioned that they're very busy with the remodeling going on at Walkill and that they're also supporting the building work at Tuxedo and Warwick.
Sounds like they're so busy with increasing their Real Estate holdings that they hardly have time to print their litter-trash for U.S. local consumption.
after learning ttatt attending meetings is real pain for me but have no option other then participate.
since many jw use mobile devices during meetings i use them too.
but instead of wt or bible study book i read apostate books like raymond franz books ,captive of concept etc.it helps a lot to survive 2 hours of boredom.
I bring my 7" tablet where I store CoC and ISoCF, Combatting Mind Control, Captives of a Concept all on PDF along with the Song Book, latest KM thanks to Atlantis, and the Jeremiah book and latest Koolaid Edition of the WT. I set the resolution so you can read the text only if you have 20/20 vision so someone sitting behind me is just going to see a blur of text (unless they have eagle vision. :-)
for anybody attending a international convention .. 5 body of elders letters just leaked .
"applicant instructions".. ********************.
applicants must be exemplary in every respect, including dress and grooming.
since my family is out of town, and i am alone this weekend, i have decided to attend this once to see these things for myself.
have no fear, i have absolutely no interest in joining.
my goal is simply to better understand how to reach those who are on the inside, and i feel i could better do that by observing it.
Bring a recording device like an mp3 player or phone.
Ask questions like why does Jesus appear nailed to a pole rather than a cross which the Scriptures led you to believe.
"The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." (John 20:25)
http://carm.org/questions/about-jesus/did-jesus-really-die-cross
" The plural form "nails" is used. This means that more than one nail was used upon Jesus' hands. Therefore, we can conclude that the most logical explanation for the plural use of nails is that there is at least two nails, one for each hand that was stretched out from left to right as would be done if Jesus were crucified on a cross. This would mean that the torture stake, or the vertical stake theory would be invalid."
how wonderful it was... i saw two women over the road knocking on doors .
i could see they were jws...i prayed & asked they would call here... but no!!!!
the lord sent two men!!!!elders!!!!
I said "No I spend it alone praying for all those I made JWS"
Dear Mouthy, my dear Christian sister Grace,
With so many people here who care about you, Grace, how can you really be "alone" you're in our hearts and minds.
May our good Lord bless you and keep you in his care my dear sister. Though perhaps physically far apart, those that
love God and Christ put faith in the words of Col 3:14 that Love is a perfect bond of union, and through God's grace
we aren't alone, but have our Lord unite us all in love for one another. May you have peace and the comfort of knowing
how much so many have come to love and care about you for the wonderful person you are in Christ our Savior.
