  why does the NWT refer to christ as the christ. to me this is taking away his Sovereignty

  by goingthruthemotions in

  it just kills me when i look at the scriptures in the nwt and alot of times when it refers to jesus christ it says the christ.

  to me this is taking away his .

  sovereignty.

  I guess I don't see it.

  the Christ ... the Messiah ... the anointed One ... why would this term be degrading?

  also point # 21 ... targeting the seniors in nursing homes

  21. Nursing and retirement homes: Some publishers have had success in reaching elderly

  persons by approaching the manager or activities director of the facility and volunteering their
  time to encourage residents who might enjoy Bible reading and discussion of Bible accounts. It may
  be explained that volunteers from the congregation would be pleased to read Bible-based material,
  to conduct a free weekly Bible study, or to show Bible-based videos to anyone who wishes to attend.
  Oftentimes, the staff, volunteers, family members of patients, and other visitors will join in the study.
  The service overseer may train well-qualified publishers to make such visits.—km 6/14 pp. 2-4.

  Thanks for the download.

  I especially found point # 4 very interesting ...

  Any application to use a mobile cart or to set up a table or kiosk to display literature must be filled out in the
  name of an individual publisher, not in the name of the congregation, any corporation used by the
  organization, or “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” If a small administrative fee is needed in order to acquire
  space in a public area, it is to be paid by the individual publisher, not the congregation. Publishers
  should carefully review any such applications to see what responsibility they are taking upon themselves
  with respect to liability. Publishers who apply to distribute literature at these areas are doing so on their
  own initiative as part of their personal ministry.

  organization absolves itself of all liability putting this burden as well as any possible expenses on the publisher, yet, everything else in the letter clearly shows how this avenue of ministry is managed in every other way by the organization

  the paedophile/rape case in wales has attracted the interest of the the charity police.

  it seems the clouds are gathering and the charitable status of the wt in the uk is in question.

  not great for the dubs but superb for champions of truth and righteousness.. ironic isn't it.

  A Church spokesman said: “As Jehovah’s Witnesses we have an absolute and unequivocal abhorrence of child abuse and [offer] our support for any victim or parent who reports this crime to the authorities. This is in line with what the Bible says at Romans 12:9.

  True in theory, but talk is cheap.

  Since when does the Org offer any practical help to congregation members. The only way one will be helped is if they are members in good standing, and if they are members in good standing, they most likely view the Organization as if it were a substitute for God and wouldn't expect any help until everything is all cleared up in the New System© ... the Org isn't going to help those who have fallen away, are inactive, or disfellowshipped unless the court makes them.
