  Watchtower July 22 - JWs being interrogated need to muzzle their mouths

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has printed a disturbing article about self control and gives this instruction to the r & f .

  self-control also allows us to remain silent when opposers try to trick us into revealing things that could endanger our brothers and sisters.

  this might occur when we are being interrogated by the police in a land where our work is banned or restricted.

  Beards- just told by an elder

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know this subject has been talked about lots over the years, just thought i would share a recent finding from canada.. while visiting with a group of friends, an elder (don’t recall how the subject came up) mentioned the local body had voted to allow brothers with beards be allowed to give talks from the platform.

  (it was a very close vote).

  the direction given was for each congregation to decide for themselves if that is now acceptable.. so some congregations will be for, and for many it will not.. it’ll probably be a long time before we see any pictures on the watchtower where they’re allowing this though..

  Here in the UK in our congregation there are several brothers who have a full beard and are used to give talks, other meeting parts and prayers etc.

  Back in the 1970's in another part of the country, I had a beard and never had any problem. Maybe a case of having to use what you have, cannot afford to be too choosy!

  Meanwhile they want us to buy battery powered cars. Exactly how is that supposed to work without the ability to charge them?

  Meanwhile the UK government has just announced that electric car grants have been scrapped with immediate effect.

  wow.

  this story is so stunningly sad.

  the good guy finishes last, as he has a crisis of conscience and ends up leaving behind four kids.

  WATCHTOWER's RTO (Remote translation offices) like this one are million dollar luxury locations

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  more than 60 percent of our full-time translation teams work, not at branch offices, but at remote translation offices (rto).

  why is this arrangement beneficial?

  what equipment do translators need in order to work effectively at an rto?

  The Anglesey property was sold many years ago. I always wondered how they justified buying the place.

  A very strange video. The GB drawings were really caricatures, I'm surprised they allowed that. Rutherford, Lett and Knorr were also obvious but I think someone on here could probably put names and events to many of the others.

  Question #1 for JW's to offer an explanation

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the r&f jw's are defined by the wtbts as antitypical "foreigners," and as such, are not participants of the new covenant:.

  wt 98 2/1 p.19, par.

  6 - "further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the law covenant.

  Clearly, the Bible needs to be corrected on this point.

  In 1897 someone wrote to Russell to ask how the system could continue for another 17 years as things were so bad. His reply was that 1914 was not the end but the beginning, by then Armageddon would all be over and everything restored to perfection and the Holy Ones would be home in heaven.
