I'm not saying I believe it, I'm just trying to get what the Org. viewpoint is. I knew this guy. He was the PO when I was DF'd. I have known him nearly my entire life. Just curious as what the official doctrine is on this.

Why A Watchtower College Would Make Sense - Now
by metatron ini come not "to praise caesar but to bury him", ordinarily.
however, i offer this thought to you bethel monitors and the governing frauds who keep tabs on what goes on here.. you guys would be well-advised to start your own 2 year college - immediately.. why?
well, if you are nearing a tipping point about jobs/retirement and college, then you would be well advised to get in front of the movement and capitalize on it!

They do have a school. It is the Theocratic Ministry School. It is instrumental in teaching and instructing students to engage in the lifesaving bible education work. It is an ongoing school which has no graduates and no sports teams. However, it's instruction and benefits are life saving and last for eternity...........
GAG!!!!!!

Interesting,
So, then, If an annointed is disfellowshipped, then another person is annointed to replace them. If the annointed is reinstated, they are annointed again (or still).....So what happens to the replacement? Are they no longer annointed? Interesting conundrum...

Does anyone know how this affects his standing as being of the annointed? I don't seem to remember anything in the publications about this. But I do know that it has come out that if someone loses the "heavenly hope", they don't have an "earthly hope."

My Very First Thread Criticizing the WTS....................
by Judge Dread ina couple of posts by hamsterbait motivated me to post this.. the elimination of the book study: it was the only place where those who were shy, or anxious, about commenting would comment.
it was small, intimate and we had a lot of fun.
remember the "f" word?

XYZ, Excellent point regarding Heb 10:24, 25. I never made that connection.
However, I always wondered why it was called a book study instead of a bible study too. In fact, the only bible study Witnesses have is with people they are trying to convert. There are no society organized "bible studies". There's WT study, Ministry School, and Congregation book study. No bible study.

Got the first two chapters saved......waiting on the rest!!!!! I can't wait!!!!
Where in the bible did Jesus give the commandment to judge? Judging people in the congregation seems to be what this book is about.

Preperation for Armageddon
by Listener ini dislike the way that the publications promote such excitement for armageddon.
i have only ever met one jw that actually suggested that anyone dying beforehand may be fortunate as they will not have to face the horrors of armageddon.
anyway, it would make a lot of sense if the gb somehow focused on preservation during this time as many will die due to the nature of what will occur.

my thought is that witnesses are actually afraid of armageddon. they are afraid they havent done enough. they say they want armageddon to come and god's kingdom to bring about an earthwide paradise but none of them really want their non jw friends or family to die so it becomes a bit of a paradox.

At the end he says he hopes these things will strengthen faith and confidence......
He spoke of the pyramid, 1914 expectation of armageddon, and "If you die after 1975, it will be your own fault.".......sure strenghtens my faith that they're wrong.

What is the strangest or most wacked-out comment or answer you've ever heard at a WT or Book Study?
I remember at the cong. WT study, we were studying about the Jews being led out of Egypt by Moses. The conductor asked "What seeming advantages did the Egyptians have?".....One lady was called on and said....I kid you not......"Guns. The Egyptians had guns, but the Jews didn't have any weapons."
I looked over at my wife and said..."Did she just say "guns?"......She started laughing so hard she had to go to the bathroom to compose herself.
Anyone have any other strange comments or answers they remember?
