one of the most famous photographs taken by the late charles c ebbets showed workmen casually eating lunch on the 69th floor of the ge building during the contruction of rockefeller center.
this photo was taken 76 years ago, in the summer of 1932. a lot has changed since then.
many of the buildings you see below don't exist anymore.
What WT wrote in above referenced articles is clearly speculative and not truth. An abundance of what the WTBTS writes in its' literature is based on pure and simple speculation. Speculation has been shown to be a mother of much evil. Is it an wonder why many a staunch JW refer to WTBTS as 'Mother'?
Thank you Leolaia.
don't count on too much mercy my fine featherd friends,,,hehehe,,,lol...!after your reinstated,it will take 20 to 30 years before the dubs start to forget your sorted past.....and you all know this right?so why bother crawling back with you little tail between your legs,so a bunch of glorious elders can save face before the rank and file?no one should be df okay,as this was not the teachings of jesus,only paul who wrote this stuff,but could some wacko in the last 2000 years have inserted this satanic practice into the scriptures to control the masses and manipulate them?the apostle paul wrote too many contradictions in his writings,so why trust in anything that he wrote about?why trust the gb in hq/nyc as to their writings in these past 130 years,since everything that they wrote about is all lies,,,hehehe lol...!who is going to disfellowship them in the hq department for being liars?maybe jehovah will do it in his own due time?.
That’s another reason why JW’s disfellowshipping/shunning policy is so unscriptural and not Christ like. It is bad enough to be d’fd and shunned for a year or more and then reinstated. The after effects, in many cases, lasts for years. Being d’fd is much like a permanent blemish or tarnish that an individual does not soon live down.
It's like finallysomepride said: ' NO one ever completely gets back what they once had.'
to that of the anointed?.
as with anointed.
the living hope of anointed christians.
The following statement in par 8 made no sense at all and had no scriptural support. 1Jh 3:2 had nothing to do with what was being said in the paragraph. Seemed to me that it was just ‘filler’ material:
‘If thereis much “joy in heaven over one sinnerthat repents,” imagine the joy in theheavenly courts when one of Christ’sspirit-begotten brothers finishes a lifecourse of integrity. (Luke 15:7) Jehovahand the faithful spirit creatures will rejoicealong with the anointed one thenreceiving his reward “with great joy.”—Read 1 John 3:2.’
Rather, what I can’t help but think of is the pain and hurt felt in heaven over the thousands of lives that have been lost to the JW unscriptural blood doctrine; the lives lost to the harsh and unloving JW disfellowshipping/shunning policy; the innocent affected by the cloaked JW pedophilia issues to name just a few.
And to think that all this wrongdoing is being done under the watch of Christ’s ‘spirit begotten brothers’ here on earth! Ya, Joy for Joy!!!
to that of the anointed?.
as with anointed.
the living hope of anointed christians.
This weeks’ WT study (par 2 and par 13) reminded me of the question: How do you trap a liar? Answer: Catch them in inconsistencies. Liars often trip themselves up because they can't keep their stories straight.
Par 2 reads: 'The other sheep should never forget that their salvation depends on their active support of Christ's anointed "brother" still on earth.'
Par 13 reads: '...their hope is not founded on their works, but on Jehovah's undeserved kindness.'

6-7 can you find the right religion?
Jehovah may have a true Bible-based religion out there somewhere. One thing is for certain it is not the WTBTS or those who simply call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses.
If anything, the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization of today bring a great deal of reproach on the God of the Bible, Jehovah. No chance in hell that the JWs are Bible-based!
tomorrow the 22nd i will be 85 years old .

urgent now than ever?.
jgnat: 'I swear the yoke the society puts on its' membership is a hard one. Not from Christ at all.'
Excellent thought, thank you!
i see very little except that priests wear black..
Thank you Lady Lee for the info. I now have alot more respect for the 'man in cloth' and alot less respect for the almighty JW elder!
i see very little except that priests wear black..
Yah, big difference. I wouldn't mind confessing my sins to a Priest. No way in hell am I going to confess anything to a JW Elder.
With a Priest a person feels like he has been forgiven of his wrongdoing and feels good after confession. With a JW Elder its' (after your confession) the beginning on a long road to hell which may include a public statement to the congregation, restrictions, removal of privileges, disfellowshipping, shunning and the list goes on!
Who in his right mind would confess anything to a JW Elder!
i see very little except that priests wear black..
Priests say Jesus is their Lord and Savior. JW elders say Jesus is .............Who, What!
