hi folks.
that's right, the new june 15th 2013 study edition is out now on this link.... http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/28/w_e_20130615.pdf.
the following quote caught my eye, from the final study article on page 28.... .
Is this desperation?
A quote lifted from another thread
A spokesman for the church in Australia, Sydney solicitor Vincent Toole, dismissed the allegations and said shunning was a"myth." Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html#ixzz2NbJ83
i have noticed the extreme lack of love in this group of people who preach love, love, love.. we recently had serious floods come through our area and the jws couldnt have cared less.
our 'worldly' friends did sooo much for us though.
raising money, giving gifts, cards, accomodation and so much support and hard work.. i personally think jws are one of the most insensitive, uncaring religions around.. three religious groups were absolutely wonderful during the flooding of our area.
If they can't count the hours then they cannot spare the time.

now that "habemus papam", i was wondering how it is that someone in the watchtower becomes a member of the governing body.
does anybody know?.
and, how do they choose who gets to be a member of the corporations?.
It's a popularity contest, nothing more.
my friend was a jw and gave signatuory rights to her business accounts to her good friend, sue, a regular pioneer.
sue is married to a much older man, john and they have two boys.
my friend was welcomed into their home and lived with them for 4 years.
I cannot believe that this elder knows of the wrongdoings and has admitted this couple are a law unto their own and he will do nothing to stop this.
Sadly, I can believe the elder knows of wrongdoing and is not prepared to do anything to support the innocent party. I feel for your friend because I too believed JWs were honest until I learned personally and the hard way that some most defnitely are not.
When the corrupt elder changed congregations and almost immediately was made an elder again in his new one I realised it was either possible to fool the holy spirit or holy spirit had no part in the appointment of elders.
It leaves a very nasty taste once you have got over the initial disbelief that it even happened in the first place.
i recieved this email from an active witness regarding "hate crimes" against members of the congregation he/she attends.
it is interesting as to how the elders are dealing with it.. .
for some time our hall has been suffering minor vandalism.
This is horrendous. Where is the love?
here is a photo of a gilead instructor (br.
liverance) teaching a class on chronology.. the photo appears in a blog entry dated 5-21-2005.. note the "6,000" and "1,000" periods in the timeline drawn on the whiteboard.. i thought the 7,000 year creative day was no longer taught, but apparently it still is at gilead, at least in the year 2005.. (picture cannot be embedded here for some reason, so here is the link to it).

When ancient men wrote the Bible they knew very little of what we know today hence
(Genesis 1:3-5) 3?And God proceeded to say: “Let light come to be.” Then there came to be light. 4?After that God saw that the light was good, and God brought about a division between the light and the darkness. 5?And God began calling the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a first day.
6?And God went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.” 7?Then God proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. 8?And God began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day.
Anything taught since is just spin.

ok, so i was check this out from the watchtower study edition september 2012 page 11 paragraph 14:.
the bible points to the time when as the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.

They should have said "may" not "will". Don't they ever learn?
