do jehovah's witnesses interpret the bible properly?.
jehovah's witnesses see the bible as an organizational book which only the faithful and discreet slave (currently 8 men headquartered in warwick new york) can interpret properly.
the faithful slave was first appointed in brooklyn in 1919 and given the exclusive right and ability to understand and teach the bible properly.
Do JWs/WT interpret the Bible properly?
After over 50+ years of proudly proclaiming that Joel chapter 2 about the Locusts...saying that the Locusts paralleled the JWs in their preaching activity...at the 2019 AGM GB David Splane took a 180° about-face and stated that in fact the Locusts in Joel 2 are depicted as an enemy of God’s people. It took over 50 years for these knuckleheads to get it right!
This is just one recent example of way, way too many WT wrong Bible interpretations!
we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.
apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.
because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.
The question is...how productive are JW Pioneers who put in all these many hours in the ministry at recruiting new converts? The answer is...Zero...0...nada...zilch!
I'm affiliated with a circuit that boasts some 400 to 500 Regular and Auxiliary Pioneers. For the past 5+ years the only ones getting baptized are born-in tiny bopper 'yang wans'!
i had an elder that was very nosey in my business.
i was so to the point and told him to screw off.
have any you have any stories like this?.
Yes...I've had many a request from the elders for an invite to sit down and talk...I can tell you from experience it feels soo therapeutic when everytime I simply say...No!
ii wonder if you are a jw how new media center goes along with this text.. 1 corinthians 3:6-9new international version.
6 i planted the seed,(a) apollos watered it, but god has been making it grow.
paulus planted.
Diogenesister:...are they really speaking their minds on this?...Tell me what they're saying JWgonebad please?
The following is what GB Morris states word for word at the 3:59 hour clip during the last talk of the AGM :
"...just to address the feelings that some friends have!" (concerns about Ramapo)
Then he proceeds to read a letter of concern from "some long time faithful brother"!
The gist and essence of that letter from this perturbed individual is as follows:
"Why, if we're soo close to the end, is there such a need for a new media center that has a completion date of several years...does this mean that Armageddon is being pushed back a number of years...that the end is not as immenent as we've been preaching?""
Why else would WT, during the 2021 AGM, address this belly-aching the rank & file are having about the Ramapo Media Center if it isn't really becoming a problem?

With all the gripe and objection WT's getting from the rank & file over building this Media Center...time is still on WT's side...so far they are in the grading and prepping of the land stage...they can turn the property into a theme park or just sell the land! :) :)
is it the annual meeting this weekend?
any insights on "new light" or new releases?.
The WTBTS has from now until January 2022 when they release the Annual Meeting content to the rank and file...one wonders if they'll attempt to doctor-up/edit Morris' blunder/boo-boo statements. They'd almost have to delete his entire talk because it's such a disaster through-out!
Who knows...he may wakeup his own kids to the 'Truth'! :) :)

I'm sorry Atlantis...I was just joking in my previous post. I always welcome your posts, links, announcements & reminders. Thank you also for explaining how the process works. I value you & what goes on behind the scenes to keep us here informed.

Thank you Atlantis for the JW AGM link...it's still up and running & available.
One of the most jaw-dropping..."what the f**k did he just say" moments is going to be GB Morris' last talk. AT the 3:50 to 3:60 clip Morris is blaming the rank & file old timers for years ago spreading the thinking that "If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things...Therefore as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers."
It's as though Morris is pretending that the May 22, 1969 Awake Magazine page 15 article ("What Future For The Young") doesn't exist...or he may very well of forgotten about it. Whatever the case... it appears that he inadvertently/recklessly is making reference to that 1969 article without realizing it and blaming 'faithful' old timers for spreading a rumor "because now nearly 40 years later we're still here" (his words...and its' not nearly 40 years its well over 50 years later)!
My question: Does not the WTBTS broadcast department have an editing team that filters such nonsense before this stuff airs...or rather I'm glad the WTBTS broadcast department doesn't have an editing team to filter such nonsense before it airs? :) :) :)

Thank you Atlantis...but what is going on here? It seems like it was just yesterday that you posted the September English Announcements And Reminders and now October's...hot damn time flies!
There are upwards of 15 elders in the congregation I am affiliated with. In my opinion most maybe qualify to be ministerial servants...to order janitorial supplies...clean toilets...& serve as magazine attendants. How they got bumped-up to status of elder...I dunno!
An elder is considered an official ordained minister. The odd thing is most JW elders don't know the first thing about defending their own faith let alone serving in a pastoral capacity to assist & shepherd others in need.
