  I also find that hard to believe...

  ...unless they're planning to charge attendees for vehicle parking that is already included in the stadium rental (as they've done in the past)

  Why is the "Faithful and Discreet " parable literal when others are not?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the 10/1 1998 watchtower study article titled,''jehovah,a god merciful and gracious'' there is a footnote that reads:.

  parables and other illustrations related in the bible did not necessarily take place in actuality.futhermore,since the purpose of these stories is to teach a moral lesson,there is no need to seek a symbolic meaning in every detail.. matthew 24:45-47, in the new world translation, reads "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  How would you assess the intelligence level of the individual GB members?

  i know there's really no way to tell who has the highest or lowest iq of those on the current governing body or even who exhibits more thinking ability or more knowledge of wt bs.

  but many of you have heard talks from these clowns at district assemblies throughout the us and abroad over the years... others here have seen the 2010 dvd "faith in action" or have seen youtube videos of gb members dispensing meat in due season... so i'm curious to know what your personal assessmenment is of the 7 stooges currently living in brooklyn heights.... here's my personal assessment... (from dumbest to least dumb).

  guy pierce (completely clueless)anthony morrisgerrit loschstephen lettsam herdgeoffrey jacksondavid splane (knows enough wt bs to hold his own)again, i know this is a subjective assessment, but i would really like to know your opinion on who you believe has been dumbed down the most by the wt and who has been dumbed down the least.... thanks!.

  Masonic Temple Used for Worship by JWs

  by blondie in

  1. social
  2. current

  representatives of the jehovah's witnesses didn't show.

  but their work on the former masonic temple at 385 broadway was praised by the commission's executive director, michael wing.. the jehovah's witnesses are cleaning up, repainting and refurbishing the temple in a way that meets their needs for worship but doesn't despoil the building's original intent, said wing.

  a large masonic symbol in ornate floor tile has been covered with a circular rug, he said.

  Undisfellowshipped...

  You are so right... The Watchtower has trashed just about every earthly organization for over 130 years except for the Freemasons...

  Another strange thing I noticed is that even the slightest mention about Freemasons on this site gets you labelled as a conspiracy theorist... what gives?

  By the way, I used to go to the Greenpoint Avenue assembly hall (mentioned by Room 215 above) shortly after the Freemasons sold it the Watchtower...

  when there is a christian conservative ministers conference in an area, the local hotels see a massive explosion of purchases from their in-room adult entertainment service.

  why is that?.

  I know an elder who never does any physical excercise all year (except during Field Circus, which shouldn't count since everyone is now walking at a "pioneer's pace"). During Christmas week, however, he goes for these long walks with his wife in different nearby neighborhoods making sure to walk near all the "inactive" JW's homes...

  I later found out that he does this every year to see if any inactive JWs have put up Christmas decorations or if their kids are playing with new toys outside, etc.. This elder doesn't see anything wrong with doing this as he believes he's doing his part in keeping the congregation clean... really strange character...

  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  Room 215...

  If you're referring to the book Finished Mystery, page 191 states that the 2 wings of the woman mentioned in Revelation 12:14 are the Old Testament and the New Testament... (that "sack cloth" thing might have been mentioned in another WT publication...)

  i had a dream last night that i went to a meeting.

  the speaker announced we were going to sing the "we're jehovah's witnesses" song, to which i said an audible "dear god" which got a bunch of dirty looks from other people sitting by me.

  so now i'm awake, sipping my coffee, and i have "we're jehovah's witnesses" stuck in my head.

  My brother in law went to the kingdom hall about 3 or 4 times (over 20 years ago as a kid)... His nanny was a JW... he still drives me crazy singing "From House to House"... he does it to try to make me laugh and it used to... now it's just annoying...
