  Baptismal Questions CHANGE AGAIN!

  by raymond frantz in

  i attended recently a circuit assembly and notice a change in the wording of the 2nd baptismal question .it used to be :.

  "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah's witnesses in association with god's spirit-directed organization?

  now they changed it to :.

  There is no difference in how you will be treated with DA versus DF anymore. So someone taking a blood transfusion and an apostate are essentially one in the same.

  14 Minutes and you are not a Servant of Jehovah

  by JT in

  2. friends

  last night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.

  many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.

  now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.

  According to the WTB&TS, Jehovah has no joy in "A Watcher" disobeying the WTB&TS by reading posts and participating here.

  "A Watcher", I would expect that you will never be seen here after reading the following

  KM 7/07 Question Box

  w09 7/15 1:5, 6

  But if you stay, you are welcome, in you will have help in leaving because after being told not to come here, and you do, it shows

  your willingness to seek out the truth.

  Deu 13:1-3

  13 “In case a prophet or a dreamer of a dream arises in your midst and does give you a sign or a portent, 2 and the sign or the portent does come true of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us walk after other gods, whom you have not known, and let us serve them,’ 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or to the dreamer of that dream, because Jehovah YOUR God is testing YOU to know whether YOU are loving Jehovah YOUR God with all YOUR heart and all YOUR soul

  Believe it or not, the first step in becoming a follower of Jah, is to do as you already know and apply it to all aspects of your life, including testing whether the things from the prophets of the Corporation known as the WatchTower Bible and Tract Society are truly from Jah.

  WT Elders school: Avoid black and white thinking - now look at this zebra

  by sir82 in

  2. friends

  continuing on with my haphazard review of the recent one-day elders school..... in one of the introductory talks, the co was making the point that we can't view things merely from a black and white perspective.

  many issues have "shades of gray" and we need to use discernment in such situations.. and i'm thinking "finally!

  maybe he will continue on to make an actual, reasonable point!".

  WTWizard If one does not want to celebrate a day because it is incorrectly attributed to a savior, or is "pagan" then why should one? What does a rebirth of the sun have to do with a tree sitting in one's living space? The problem I see, is that most of these so called pagan rituals find their way into a majority of life, whether it have a religious meaning or not. As far as the actual sun rebirth, it usually occurs 4 to 5 days in advance.

  Not growing up in the WTB&TS and in a "normal protestant" society, I grew very tied of it. Always stayed away as much as I could.

  I'd say that he is the F&DS. This is proof that Jehovah is using his annointed class to preach the good news everywhere.

  smiddy, what is the handiwork you speak of? Since everyone has the ability to make a choice, the decision would be Jehovah's to make the measurement and a punishment in each individual case.

  If I disobey a command, can I blame it on someone else in order to not be punished?

  Don't you love it when CEOs decide to make ill-conceived marketing decisions for their businesses? Does he think this approach will appeal to sore-loser Mitt voters, hoping they'll come in to pay the "Obamacare Tax" and whine about it? Or is he trying to appeal to those who voted for Obama, thinking they'll not be offended? No matter how you cut it, it's just dumb marketing, bad PR (self-inflicted, shooting themselves in the foot).

  What about a business that is loosing revenue? If the company goes bankrupt, they have a scapegoat and he will be back on the market as a CEO for hire.
