The number went up even though precautionary measures were put in place. The speaker at our memorial, for example, instructed the servers to pass over d'fd ones and any suspect of being apostate.
Are you serious??? Did he say that from the platform? Is that usual? This bothers me so much. Where do they get off deciding who can partake?
anyone in jasper georgia?.
i heard through the grapevine that there's a hoopla going on within the local congregation and bethel.
the local congregation decided to take contributions for the non-jw community.
I'm an hour from jasper, but I don't know anyone in that cong. And if there was something like that going on, no one I know who's still in would tell me.
Interesting, I wonder what the contributions were for.
"our viewpoint may be distorted or limited" par 16 "mosaic law-he(god) did not enforce his own law"wtf.. so the gb/fds will tell us their distorted viewpoint.they say law given to imperfect judges who could not read hearts.yet the gb/fds says they can by their pharisaic laws and rules ie child abuse/shunning/etc.. why did god give the mosaic law if they could not read hearts.oh it was ok for the israelites to kill some people for adultery/murder but not david because they could not read his heart.wtf does it matter if he was sorry and repentent were not the others just as sorry and repentent.. b.
Because he was anointed as the king, chosen by God? I don't really know, just throwing something out there. Maybe that's how it makes sense to a JW.

Sherri's df? I didn't know that.
ETA: Watched the vid. Sherri's face cracked me up, she looks like she's about to pass out. And gawd! He's got one helluva sexy voice.
had a good look into the doctrine, beliefs and practices of jws and to be honest, i don't really see anything wrong with it at all.. it's biblical and i've had such an eye opener the past year or so reading some of their books and magazines .
is there really any real reasons why i shouldn't want to get involved further?
:-).
Obves: concerning that day and hour no one will know, not even Jesus or the angels know, only God. It shouldn't even matter to a Christian when it's coming. How was it that Jesus said we are to identify his followers? What did Jesus say we were supposed to do to have salvation? He said nothing about dates and end times as requirements for salvation or to follow him. You sound obsessed, dude. Let it go. Knowing the date isn't going to save you or anyone else.
if one was to take a poll of all the registered users of this board he might be surprised by the number of people who still attend meetings and/or still go door to door.
a contributor to a recent thread, expressing worry that she is on the threshold of being outed, posited that fear is what fills the seats in the kingdom hall.
fear, not love.
Nickolas,
About the mediation for only the 144k: this link has quotes from publications and also goes a little into the history of the teaching, you can verify if you have a WT cd-rom. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/mediator.php
Here's some more: http://www.letusreason.org/JW40.htm http://www.watchman.org/jw/jwexpos.htm
This one has an interesting quote from a watchtower article http://4jehovah.org/card-jwmediator.php
Learning about this was the final nail in the coffin for me. The Bible makes it clear how this works and they muddy it up by having seperate classes. Matt 23:13 sums it up for me.

Debator said: They avoid discussing the Bible truths (as you noticed) that witnesses live by and focus on imperfection of men issues and a few cleverly worded fallacious arguments designed to deliberately create doubt in you. It's not just the Witnesses either: they are also anti-Jehovah too. They would drive away any spiritual desire in you to find the truth according to God's kingdom. By telling you that no imperfect group of followers could be in receipt of God's blessing yet they are wrong. The Bible proves anti-witnesses wrong.
Now, obviously you didn't read any of the replies or you would have noticed how this statement is false. A lot of replies have suggested Anon4 study the Bible alone, a lot of replies have used the Bible to show how what Witnesses teach is actually contrary to what the Bible says. And it is true some of us said no group of followers can be in receipt of God's blessing; as the Bible teaches it's not a group, it's individuals and it's available to all. Some of us may be anti-Jehovah, but we are not anti-God, there is a difference. The truth is according to the Bible and Jesus Christ. Where's the scripture about truth according to God's kingdom? The Bible proves Witnesses wrong, all it takes is studying the Bible alone.
oddly enough....the governing body don't make the policies; the policies make the governing body!.
think of it this way.... the economy is every transaction, asset and liability within our country which is inside a greater context of the world markets.. each family has their little piece of the greater pie: debts, savings, purchases, credit-you name it.. but--get this--nobody is in charge of the economy.
nobody runs it.
I disagree, Outlaw. It doesn't take responsibility for their actions away. But if Terry's right, when I see things like AJWRB or jwstruggle or the conscious class, it makes me think that if these movements get big enough, the GB is going to have to respond and make some changes. It gives me hope for my family that's still in.
