Yup, methinks sinis hit on something. They are all looking forward to the fulfillment of the wt promises. Only the old man has clued in and looks ruefull. He gets the cruel joke. He is just going to die and rot or be burned up. So much for the promises. And if it is sposed to depict the same individual from birth to old age and death and more so if he is sposed to be a witness, it is an illustration done by an apostate. Why do I say that. Well each one seems to be moving forward with what appears to be some anticipation of where he is going. Except for the old guy (could be me, but a little to old) who's face shows clearly that he finally gets that it is all a ruse. A cruel joke.

Yes indeedy. After the scripture in ephesians not another attempt even to prove anything from there till the end of the article.
We can enter into Jehovah's rest -or join him in his rest-by obedientlyworking in harmony with his advancing purpose as it is
revealed to us through his organization. Forget about how it is revealed through the bible.

New Light @ The 2011 District Convention
by dontplaceliterature in" at the bottom of the image on the back of the invitation raises some eyebrows, but last night in the routine district convention article during the service meeting, i caught that one of the paragraphs mentioned that we would be encouraged to keep a copy of the tract in hand for a discussion during sunday's last talk.
my guess is, there is going to be some new revelation about what the "?
" represents, or some other fangled idea.

Notice that in Ephesians it says no man should have grounds for boasting but then they say that although the scripture says it is a free gift and no works are involved suddenly it becomes listen to the organization which we know turns into the faithful and discreet slave which in turn becomes the gb. Oops! There goes the not boasting out the window.

first they qoute (Ephesians 2:8-9) 8 By this undeserved kindness, indeed, YOU have been saved through faith; and this not owing to YOU, it is God's gift. 9 No, it is not owing to works, in order that no man should have ground for boasting.
then they go beyond what it says.

I guess you didn't get the point I was making, LOL. Usually they make the fact that life can be tough the fault of the individual. Here they inadvertently, I believe, make the point (against their normal ranting) that life, just normal everyday life can be damn tough. Anyway was just my two bits worth.

I found this to be actually quite accurate as to the real world, BUT does this article not in effect make thier constant harping on the wicked world and worldlings just plain wrong (and of course we know it is) But here they for once allow an accurate picture to emerge. It accurately points out that there are indeed many challenges that present themselves on the road to a happy and fulfilling life. Things that are not brought about in ones life simply because they are doing wrong in their lives.
anywho, what do you think.

June 15th WT ( again ) WT Society Bashes College & Earning a Living
by flipper insorry for the redundancy of this being the 3rd article out of this magazine i've made a thread on- but i felt it was important to share these quotes from the aricle titled " make your way successful - how ?
" i think you'll see the extreme dissing of higher education here and guilt tactics used to discourage jw members from getting a college education or earning a decent living.. under the subheading " higher education " ?
it states, " a christian has a scriptural obligation to care for his family, and that includes providing for their material needs.

Sorry but you are wrong Mrfreeze. They make it very clear that the solution is to spend more time in the slavery/service, maybe even piosneer. Oh ya. That doesn't really do it. do it? LOL
