  And yet.........they claim they have NOT BEEN PICKED yet!

  "

  But now, the teaching is that Christ has YET to finally approve the Governing Body in its role as the composite slave. With this in mind, you would expect the Governing Body members to exercise a bit of humility, and not try to second guess the decision that Christ is due to make in the future during the Great Tribulation when he finally arrives to inspect his slave class. Instead, the Governing Body boldly makes Christ’s decision for him in advance. Note what is said on page 25…

  “In view of the foregoing, what can we conclude? When Jesus comes for judgment during the great tribulation, he will find that the faithful slave has been loyally dispensing timely spiritual food to the domestics. Jesus will then delight in making the second appointment – over all his belongings.” (w13 7/15 p.25 par.18, bold mine)"

  Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  within the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.

  however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.

  he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

  Especially Presumptuous when they admit that they have not even been picked yet ..............and yet call themselves "faithful & discrete slave"!

  Can You Really Become Inactive Instead of DA'ing and Keep Your Family

  oz branch coordinator terrence o'brien opined a number of times at about 1:00:00 until about 1:15:00 of his testimony, that a dub does not need to da, they can become "inactive.".

  i sent our beloved angus stewart my personal experience, as well as observations about official borg teachings.

  (he replied in short order.).

  No it was certainly not the truth! Sometimes I have a gut feeling that, wait for it ...............................................................jws like to shun!

  Really, how & when would they ever get another chance to be sooo rude, or so mean, or so righteous, or so smug, or so punishing & vindictive! It has been my experience that a perfect-in-her-own-eyes peeonneer, gleefully pointed and danced around me in a store as she started her god ordained shun!!!!!!!! She is lucky I haven't seen her since!

  Coming from that dark little jw jealous & mean place inside...................

  they LOVE IT!

  I would say the chances of him showing up are 50 50.

  No matter which way it goes, his response will be full of all the predetermined bull shite that we all know so well. The dubs are so used to this, that it will go right over their heads & those crazy-making words will just drive us nuts!

  "
  This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (1 John 3:16-18)"

  Guess the gb members are too big for their britches! HHmmmm ....maybe they are wearing those tight pants Tony M talks about!

  I think you are absolutely right! How would jws be honest enough to spit that out of their mouth! Not only does it show themselves to be evil, but they actually have to be able to explain why they are victimizing this person!. What exactly did this person do? Did he/she ask a question? Have a doubt? Warn others about a 'known' child abuser?

  I will be using victimization from now on! Thanks so much!

  They know the RC is going to be an issue: August Broadcast talk with Tony

  by leavingonthenextplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they are told that persecution is coming and that all will see it.. they are told that there will be lies in the media about us.. they even give the old brother king interview about brothers being jailed.

  the last sentence tony the tiger damn near screams at the camera to stay faithful you integrity keepers... he knows your fathers and husbands may be going to jail.

  this talk is all about damage control.. .
