8 Similarly today, a Governing Body composed of spirit-anointed Christians contributes to the unity of the worldwide congregation. The Governing Body publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages. This spiritual food is based on God's Word. Thus, what is taught is not From men but from Jehovah.-Isa. 54:13

If a minister of Christendom gave a sermon based on God's word, having taken a scripture as his theme and building on that, could/would/should we say it was not from man but rather from God. If not why not?

9 Christian overseers also promote unity by taking the lead in preaching. The spirit of companionship that unites those who work together in God's service is far stronger than the spirit that unites others in the world who merely socialize together. The Christian congregation was founded, not to function as a social club, but to honor Jehovah and to get a job done-the work of preaching the good news, making disciples, and building up the congregation. (Rom. 1: 11, 12; 1 Thess. 5:11; Heb. 10:24, 25) Thus, the apostle Paul could say of Christians: "You are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul striving side by side for the faith of the good news."-Phil.1:27.

So preaching the good news is "getting a JOB done". So much for going door to door out of love for neighbour. If, as they say, it is getting a job done, what exactly is that job? Oh. I missed that. It is the "work" of preaching and making disciples. Oh and lets not forget the "work" involved in building up the congregation, led of course by those hard "working" Christian overseers. And here I was, thinking this was all just a labour of love.

did jesus really succeed where adam failed?

by booby in

why did jesus christ come to the earth?

the rebellion in the garden of eden brought a death sentence upon adam and eve and all their offspring, but god lovingly supplied hope.

he sent his son to the earth to provide what the bible calls a ransom.

Tec said "Someone remind me where it says that Adam and Eve were perfect, please." any one else.

i sent a .pdf to a few friends and one of them betrayed me and forward it to a elder i know, along with the emails of the recipients.

i cant believe i was so naive to think that i can trust someone..stupid.

i have not talked to the "benedict arnold" yet, but hopefully soon.

Remember, you can lie if it is info they have no right to know. Like protecting Jah. In this case protecting your ass.

"That Letter" about sisters not allowed to spiral-bind the new elders manual

by freddo in

you know, the one from the usa branch/brooklyn.. well i ventured a question to a relative who is an elder here in the uk to see if a similar letter had been sent to elders here.

he knows i was an elder and he lets me joke with him to a certain level about how controlling the society is lately.. he confirmed that one has been received and he laughed because it says you can use a d-ring binder (which i guess is the equal uk term for the us "spiral bound" as long as you don't let worldly people do it and that you have to watch the brother do it.).

i asked whether sisters were allowed to do it and he said even the society wouldn't go that far and smiled.. sooooooo .... i am wondering if this uk letter has had the "sister" stuff pulled because it is such an embarrassment?.

I'm going with forbidden, as in the states. Remember they have worldwide unity. Ha,ha.

Bible refers to women as "the weaker vessel" - you know why?

by sabastious in

because it's a self fullfilling prophecy!.

if you keep women couped up and force them to have only limited contact with the outside world they are going to appear sheltered and unlearned.

therefore when these oppressed women do things that are unlearned or immature all the men go "well they are the weaker vessel.".

Because they can't spiral bind?

hello everyone.. i found a hilarious blog about the "new book".

i'm still laughing.

That is pretty good. Provoked a thought however. Keeping gambling (I am taking that lotto tickets is petty) on the down low is great and probably easy enough. But what if I happen to win a big prize? Yikes!! Would bribing work? I just don't know. Have to wait for some notes in the margins for broader daffynition.

I asked whether sisters were allowed to do it and he said even the society wouldn't go that far and smiled.

That's the trouble with the English language. I read that as saying "even the society wouldn't go that far" as in allowing sisters to do it. You apparently read it as going so far as to forbid it. Which it actually is, I'm not sure.
