only these are my fellow workers for the kingdom of god, and these very ones have become a strengthening aid to me.
imagine it took 6 years before they called on that inactive couple!.
Eders are those men within the congregation who have to shepherd the flock.
- that was the early christian understanding and could be understood today the same way.
Shepherding depends on love and on the ability to generate time for another.
I cant see this adjective by present elders as they are under time pressure in a changing world.
The free days the have they use in vacations. The are mostly only working on the surface and not inside the problems.
I recognize them been eager to get the honor to be an elder and have something to say while at home its his wife who has the shoes on the feet.
they know often much about UN, NGO and so on but woulde never question if the "slave" is wrong.
They are the bimbos ot the WTS - doing the job and finally being responsible.
christian love is growing out of warm hearts. But in the cong they have cold hearts as nobody can trust anybody when he has any doubt.
the traiter is listening. be on the watch. Shut up and do what you are ought to do.
Elders = egoistic lurkers do effective resign slavelaw
Blondie, here in Europe its fine June. soon Ill be in France and have a look to the Atlantic, knowing that far in the west there is the USA with an active vulcano
in Yellowstone. Give god that this caldera does not spit out a nation

sorry if this is old news; but in case it is new, uh, news.... .
i just got off the phone with my mum.
she said that a 2nd cousin, who works in new york bethel, is coming to canada bethel for about three months, as part of the move of their largest print press to bethel canada.
If they would trust in Jehovah and the Holy Ghost they would condemn their money and the councel of their lawyers.
But their first longing is making money from shit and growing like cancer.
the blessings from above fail, the love is dying, the chair are empty, the youth is out for fishing and the elders betreay themselves.
the fish starts stinking first by his head says the fisherman.
the ivory towers will fall like Israel fell and Judah. the apostacy has begun in their own possession.
Soon the mighty of the flock will no more rest in peace
hi folks, i have heard the latest news that in germany it is no more announced on the platform, when someone is disfellowshipped.. this fact in future will only be given privately to the brothers.. has anybody heard that too?
is that a typical german way because the seltersbrothers demand the status of a church to save taxes and get public subvention.. since 1990 they are keen to get this privlege but at present time they stay where they begun.. i remember when i studied with the witnesses some decades ago that an elder mentioned: we never would become church.
that is the key to concordates with the state, jehovahs witnesses would losse their clean status before god.. and now since the 90ies they change their doctrines in sbustituting military services and so on.. frere kelsey - vieux homme sans moustache, le duc des boissons du selters, pourquoi is est va comme ca?

A Song of a Kid
I'm sitting in the kingdom hall
where I am taught to get tall.
Here I learn to shun the world
and I listen to what is told
yes the world is bad, so bad
that is brainwashed in my head
only the JW's they are good
as they keep them in the mood
listen to the WTS
they perform some righteousness
keep the people blind and deaf
or they must the quickly leave
you are not allowed to think
nor allowed to break this sting
all they want that is your mind
thats why they keep you blind
blind about United nations
blind about NGO vacations
yeah they keep you in the mood
that is for the WT good
and if you leave they say you are worse
thats The present WT curse
this is part of a letter that rutherford wrote to the german empire before ww 2. .
in the declaration of facts, rutherford wrote: .
the present government of germany has declared emphatically against big business oppressors and in opposition to the wrongful religious influence in the political affairs of the nation.
thats is quite interesting, Andy.
and when you add the information that Rutherford made advertise to buy war bonds in America for WW1 and that the Switzerland Branch officer declared during WW 2 that in Switzerland the JW's were standing in their military duty - the exactly anglais words I dont know - so you see: the world ist round like the belly< from the evil ones. Psalm 73 Asaph.

dear brother van xxxxxx .
even though we don?t exactly know if you still identify yourself as a witness of jehovah, we decided to still use the same opening words as in our letter to you from november the fifth 2001. we received your letter from last 23 may in good order.
in here you ask an amount of questions in addition to your previous letter from 5 november 2001 and our reactions on it in our letter from 8 november 2001. .
their answer is like the answer of someone who does not listen to the question. you want to buy apples and the salemans gives you bananas.
As much as I know is that every year they had to sign the ngo membership ( must I be corrected?)
and over the years they were so cruel to praise the UN in their magazins with one article ( file for UN) while other articles, not sent to UN made the reader know that UN is the image of the beast.
they should confess and regret their sin or the LORD will beat them into pieces.
UNbelievable this UNtrue Utterance
this was brought up by my journey and they requested information regarding it.
this is a quote from the page below regarding how the wt takes other's words out of context to fit their own agenda.
quote..........misquote:.
This thread is quite interesgting and since a longer time I have made my thinkings about the cross.
At least I guess it was the policy from the judge to find a name for his biblestudents as there were too many others called them biblestudents.
This is like marketing, defining product policy.
To this belongs the stroy of the cross.
For me it is rather clear that Watchtower and history may both have right. The Romans used a pole where they nailed the person on. thsi large pole was always placed on the location of Golgotha. The delinquent who received his death penalty in the City took up his patibulum - the horizontal part of the cross.
So you can say the turture stake and you can say the cross. both may be right but finally, when he hang on it the viewer sees a cross.
Watchtower may recognize this as option but you know - they are concrete heads and such dont change their opinion. they get raped from the podest like those concrete heads behind the former iron curtain - they were put down from the monument.
At least it seems they now allthing from nothing as they shape their testimonials like you see it by the start of this thread.
and I may remind of the Hitler letter from 1933, published in the yb 1934 where you can read how they tried to creep the German leader, Mr Schickelhuber into his brown ass. but they were rejected and those who were so foolish to spread the declaration on their own name were arrested.
Arrested for a dirty policy of a man who made martyrs in case of marketing. A couple of years later the swiss branch declared that JWs stay at the weapeons, so they did not loose their Siwtzerland property but made bad copmpromise like today with the UNgodly organsiation, the image of the beast.
I cant eat as much as I must vomit when I think of the facts behind the reality.
There is a truth behind the truth, this truth is hidden for the normal publisher as he is like in quarantine - forbidden contact to those who know it. And those who know it and are JWs must fear that they get df'd.
That is a practice that dishonours Jehovah who has made us with a free mind. They make us to be slaves of the UNtruth and put on us our own repsonisbility. The slave has the right to give us food at the appropiate time - it is our decision to eat or to reject it.
I guess that is a coward theory that will end very soon, when the ivory towers will fall.
Greetings to those who prove to be searchers
"the serpent?it deceived me.
the apostle paul was later inspired to write: "[eve] was thoroughly deceived.
.. paragraph 2 .
hello Blondie,
I've researched this expression from the WT you have here in work:
"There is nothing ?holy? about the Bible, nor is it ?the word of God"
and I have found the following webpage:
http://www.frostcloud.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1453
have a look at the GAIDEN post, it seems that we have there the exakt phrases about the matter
greetings to all

has the wts commited the same folly as the writers of the oral law?
in a magazine some years ago there was an article on the oral law.
it discribed how the oral law was developed to be like a fence around the writen law to prevent ppl from breaking the writen law.the article showed how the priests, who invented the law ,were laying a burden on jehovahs ppl that the didnt need ,sort of saying how wrong and misdirected the priests were.
oral advice is no wirtten advice, every elder gets it to hear from CO or DO and then it is valid.
the advantage is that in no case there is anything written.
so the borg does its business as usual. in France they encourage to go to elections as they know that the JW's dont elect anybody.
so the world gets the impression they are ood buddies.
but it seems that they are slimy like a frog.
oral law = oral Jaw of the big shark borg
