  Another question about the Governing Body

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that all the members of the original governing body have completed their earthly course, a question popped into my mind.. i know that there was no governing body prior to 1971. before that, how was jehovah supposed to communicate with the anointed?

  and, how come he decided to have a governing body, so that the new light would come to more men, instead of just the president of the watchtower?

  why was a governing body not there since 1914, for example?.

  Fantastic reasoning...That's what I have to say!!! It's amazing how we do not look or see what we are reading or being taught...we just take whatever point is being made by the Org as fact.

  Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".

  she's an intelligent woman.

  however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

  No not really...it's hard for me to be happy he has died. The only way I would feel glad that he is gone is if he was the one pulling the strings and now things would get better for Jw's...

  Surely the most damning statement ever published by the WTS

  by S EIGHT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  awake!, october 8, 1968 page 23, said:.

  .... there have been those in times past who predicted an "end to the world," even announcing a specific date.... yet, nothing happened.

  the "end" did not come.

  These are good ones...but it seems that most peoples (Jw's) minds are not able to see why they matter.

  • I know for me it took several things over many years then just 'POP' my mind just said "what the heck is this?" and then I just started searching for answers and was not really expecting to find out what I have.

  What did (do) u want to be when u grew up?

  by Sayswho in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was born in the mid 1950's and raised as a jw so i did not need to consider or worry about this...why?...because it was instilled into me that i would never have to worry about being old enough to be anything in this "old system of things".. as the years went by:.

  1970-something...out of school...no "new system"no need for more training, just a few years left... no "new system"got a job, married,... no "new system""waking up" 50+ years later...still no "new system"this was the mind set of so many raised as jw's, and we are now finding ourselves trying to adjust our lives to weather the years that we have left...in order to make the best of them.. please... if you are still an active jw (or not) get an a good education so you can support yourself and prepare for retirement, and don't be afraid to talk to others about how to do this so you can make an informed decision on what is best for you.so what did (do) you want to be when you grow up?

  Unshackled: most of us in my early cong felt we would never graduate either...yet here we are, although some of them left in 75 and never came back.

  Jaguarbass: Yep if we could only do it over...I was just thinking about getting some extra training now but not too many years left to use whatever training I would get... and getting to an age that if I wanted to change jobs I would have a harder time getting one. Don't really want to work until I'm ready to die like so many Jw's and to be fair non Jw's have to.

  if god wrote the instruction manual for mankind and 2000 years later man still can't understand it.

  the wbts says the light is getting brighter because we are living at the time of the end.than why does god say no one knows when the end is.. b.

  WE will only know the time frame of the end...by the 'signs' that Jesus said would be in the last days...not the DAY or the HOUR.

  It seems setup so most people will lose their lives...does not seem like a loving God...

  As the years went by:

  Debunking the Watchtower - Slam Dunks and Solid Arguments

  by Nickolas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's a wide cross section of thinkers on this board, representing christian belief and non-belief and points in between, the agnostics.

  there is most definitely a minority, mostly silent, of devoted jehovah's witnesses present, too, but their contribution to the dialogue and dynamic of the board is minimal.

  that small minority aside, it can be said the people who venture into here to communicate with one another share a common paradigm, and that is the watchtower is built on a foundation of clay.
