New F&DS Light question
by ItsMyLife ini have a question about the implications of the new light regarding the f&ds.
sorry if it sounds complicated, i'm not good at explaining things.. .
if the f&ds is now just the few brothers who get together to dispense the food at the proper time, and the f&ds will be appointed over all of christ's belongings, then does that mean they will be appointed above the rest of the 144,000 when they go to heaven?

Very difficult to make sense out of something that doesn't make sense, isn't it?

AND, what is the status of the GB in relation to the already ruling ressurected 144,000 kings and priests? Have they decided that? The more JW doctrine becomes confused and complicated the more convinced I become it's not the truth. It all comes down to the GB trying to make bible doctrine fit Watchtower wrong chronology and wrong understanding while at the same time Wat legal is trying to steer the corporation around and away from legal potholes. The result of that is their new light.

The money spent on bethelites, do's and co's, branches,...........all the cost of doing business. Keeping up the enthusiam to attend conventions and assemblies, make contributions and build halls to keep the money rolling in. Then, that money is not use in any way to benefit the flock or humanity, it is used to expand and build extravagant corporate headquarters. Hudson Valley NY

This thread took on a life of it's own. When I started it I was just thinking of how I was observing all those witnesses, in their meeting clothes, looking somewhat out if place in a sports bar. Only saw that the father across from me was a cheap tipper. My dad, a witness is a big tipper. No doubt the good and bad tippers in the Org are a reflection of society.

Use to work for a wealthy man with a beautiful house. Would often see one of the GB there. If the guys showed up to mow the grass when GB was there they would be sent away because GB was so special and shouldn't be disturbed by the sound of common folks working.

Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?
by Terry inwathctower 90/1/1 p. 12 par.
8 not ashamed of the good news .
while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

World is a big place so no blanket answer, but for the most part I think just irrelevant. Often disliked just because they wake up so many people on their day off. Some hatred, but some people hate Jews, Moslems, Proestants.......as well.
