  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure that the term "circuit overseer" will be gone soon.

  they seem to be changing vocabulary and the presiding overseer is now the "coordinator of the body of elders" and all "district overseers" will be gone in a few months.

  they used to be called "circuit servants" but they will never re-hash an old term so they will make a new term.

  Whatever it is I bet they will have spent hours and hours talking about it. That's what they do in a men's club.

  Jesus is his earthly name, Michael is his heavenly name

  by bruh2012 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but as it goes in jw world we need reminders.. co said in his last talk i can't remember the title in speaking about jesus, that when jesus returned to heaven he resumed his name michael.

  jesus was his earthly name.. through the entire rest of the bible after his ressurection not one reference is made about this.

  case in point----when jesus oh wait michael pulled saul over and talked to him, he introduced his self as jesus.

  It would be a shocker if the society came out with new light and stated that JWs should now start to refer to Jesus as Michael. Once again it would set them apart from other religions and place Jesus on a different level.

  suppose, you and your family were invited for supper with us president.

  after having the meal with him, you and your family returned and started describing what happened during the meal:.

  when we reached the presidents house, he offered us dr pepper and then served the meal.. no, he served first meal, then dr. pepper, says your wife!.

  When I read the title of the thread I was thinking of this scenario.

  Let's say 6,000 people were invited to the supper but the catch was that you could only sit and watch and only 11, specially chosen people could partake of the most glorious of celebrations. These 11 being the only ones at that time that had possibility of achieving presidency status.

  Another possibility is that the plane was being tracked at some point in time and was shot down by a Government.

  It would be more credible if they just came out and said they had no idea what Jesus meant when he said 'this generation'. They have made fools of themselves and they should be very worried as to why they even let themselves listen to whoever it was that originally came up with this concept. They have serious problems.

  in today's 'astronomy picture of the day' are clearly shown rotating rings that move at 90 degrees and through each other.

  it is celestial, mysterious, entirely possible, and physical.

  You would never see that story published in the Awake XYZ. The worst of this is that the organization has recently been telling followers to respect the elders and just accept anything they do.

  Toys were considered completely inappropriate. The only things we were allowed to hold were songbooks, the bible or publications.

  Nice to hear from you GU.

  There were thoughts posted on here that the change in teaching regarding the FDS may wake up a few of the thinkers. A number of posters here woke up when they changed the generation teaching.
