I can either go back to the "truth" or stay out and raise a milion questions

by serenitynow! in

i received this message from a jw on jwc@fe, after i asked some simple questions:"miss jada, every sentence or phrase in the bible can very easily be turned into a question.

it doesnt take much to raise questions.

even jesus himself left some questions unanswered.

Following GB equals following Christ (Visual Aid)

by Rank&FileGuy in

.

just a visual aid to help everyone understand what message they're conveying in the watchtower study this coming sunday.

it's funny but just by using their first names instead of "governing body" really brings home the ridiculousness of it.. -rfg.

Where in Matt. 24:45-47 that they use as scriptual proof does it give the impression of another class of Anointed---Governing Body, that the "anointed and other sheep would recognize" them and follow their lead as Christ?

THE WATCHTOWER SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 23

8) In this time of the end, Christ has committed “all his belongings”— all the earthly interests of the Kingdom—to his “faithful and discreet slave” and its representative Governing Body, a group of anointed Christian men. (Matt. 24:45-47) The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ.

Anyone got the December KM yet for UK

by alanv in

as it is the end of the jw service year, it would be nice to see how they finished up in august 2010 as regards total publishers.. quite often there seems to be a big push to get as many as possable to put in a service report to finish the year off.. so a scan would be good or just a report on how many publishers they ended up with.

thanks.

Great....THANKS

Yoga

by letsslatejws in

why was there such a fuss about not doing yoga?.

i did my first yoga class today and whilst you are encouraged to not think about your days worries, you can hardly consider this vacating your mind, so as to let satan in!

it was more about holding stretching limbs and simply holding poses (such as holding your leg out straight etc).

Sayswho

We have been doing yoga for over a 1.5 years...did some research on the different types of Yoga and found that you can practice Yoga without it being a 'Spiritual' (demonic) one according to Jw beliefs.

Started to think for myself, doing my own research on everything that I thought I knew or was told to know...and WOW...so many things come to .

Next time I go out in FS I will use this as my topic... and then say 'just kidding'

*** rs p. 97 pars. 2-3 Dates ***. As shown under the heading "Last Days," those events have been clearly in evidence since 1914. Before the last members of the generation that was alive in 1914 will have passed off the scene, all the things foretold will occur, including the "great tribulation" in which the present wicked world will end.—Matt. 24:21, 22, 34

.When will the end of this wicked world come?Jesus answered: "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." However, he also stated: "Truly I say to you that this generation [that was alive when "the sign" of "the last days" began its fulfillment] will by no means pass away until all these things occur."—Matt. 24:36, 34.

by sacolton in

the po in my mom's congregation told them that at the next 1-day-assembly it will be the responsibility of every publisher to put 3 in the box towards the running costs at the assembly hall.

I usually do not give anyting...and have not gone to any 'ass-emble' in 3 years. Just too far away, too much money, unnecessary and ? well u get the point.

Singing is now important?

by dothemath in

last meeting there was a lot of emphasis on singing......even giving out the songs for the upcoming ca so we.

could practice.

and of course they emphasized how we should be present for songs, etc.

Sayswho

"The music aids in the mind control process. If I am not mistaken all the songs are ballads no marches.

-Sab"

Yep--That sums it all up...For me

has this been on the site before? about there never having claimed to be a prophet?

by booby in

*** w72 4/1 p. 200 they shall know that a prophet was among them' ***.

yes, the time must come shortly that the nations will have to know that really a "prophet" of jehovah was among them.

actually now more than a million and a half persons are helping that collective or composite "prophet" in his preaching work and well over that number of others are studying the bible with the "prophet" group and its companions..

Sayswho

Just got 'Captives of a Concept' by Don Cameron...So much info...everyone (elderP) should get it and read it, I'm only on page 19 but wow...my world is continuing to be rocked and enlightened.

Thanks,

How I know JW's have the truth

by Honesty in

jehovah's witnesses are the true christian congregation.. i know they are because they tell the truth and their core doctrines have not ever changed:.

"jehovah is the grand identifier of his true messengers.

he identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true.

Sayswho

Thanks Honesty...Interestingly in that May 1, 1997 --- Questions to consider at the end were...

Can You Explain?
1) How does Jehovah identify his true messengers?

Answer

"He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers."

How many have come true for us through the GB?

(Study Questions)

How does Jehovah identify the right kind of messengers, and how does he expose the false?

Answer

BY their words coming true!!!

Do we see a pattern here? (I'm just saying)
