Bizarre statement in April 2012 Awake

by dozy in

as books go, it is tiny, but it is immeasurably great in its essence.

it can be carried in ones pocket,but if it were found in a library of 90,000 different books, it would probably turn out to be the most important one of them all.. wow a strong endorsement of the bible?

er no this is the wtbts we are talking about here.

"You should never look for/expect happiness in this world"

by ilikecheese in

my jw boyfriend says this all the time whenever i'm venting about life and some of its disappointments, career aspirations and how hard they are to make happen sometimes, problems with friends/family, or just random stuff that gets to me.

i'm not a negative person or anything; i only get moody occasionally.

i am a woman; it's kind of required.

He just doesnt want to admit that there is happiness and good things in this world. If he found those things it might mean his belief system is flawed. Thats why there should be not even effort to look for happiness.

Tofayel, I dont know what your talking about. I'm looking out of one our only skyscrapers in downtown indianapolis and I have heard nothing or see anything that says Indianapolis is dedicated to helping to protect JW children from sexual abuse, etc.

if you want to skip to the new light or understanding, its underlined for you pleasure.

i think some will find this interesting.

we had the co tonight.

I was thinking about all of this. They have fixed there problem of the rising partakers and the number being literal or symbolic. They dont have to come and say that the number is symbolic because it doesnt matter about any anointed except the GOVERNING BODY. You can spit on anyone in your hall that calls themselves anointed but as long as you obey everything the governing body says then you will be saved.

Sunday talk on 144,000

i have been meaning to post this.

just havent got around to it till now.

this talk was a couple sundays ago.

I have been meaning to post this. Just havent got around to it till now. This talk was a couple sundays ago. I was really confused about what he meant.

Anyway he said the 144,000 is a legimate number because it says there is one Jesus or lamb and I was like ok whatever you say. Then he goes onto say that the 144,000 will come from every tribe and nation. He quoted a scripture in revelation near chapter 14 i think. Anyway I looked to my write and it listed the twelve different tribes of israel with 12,000 people coming from them to make the 144,000. So we take some things in revelation as legimate but we dont take the 12 tribes and 12,000 people in each tribe as legitimate. Somebody isnt telling the truth here

yesidid - It wasn't in my notes. I just heard the talk 3 hours ago. He specifically said that since the governing body cannot come be our traveling overseer that every wednesday they get together and decide where each CO and DO will go in the world. They do this because they care about us. The governing body delegated other tasks to the branch committee but they take care of this one. Otherwise, this CO is a dumbass and doesnt know what he is talking about.

I forgot something else. When he was cracking women and young ones lol. I hate that term "young ones." Why not children, kids, or teenagers.

Anyways. He said sisters this system puts a pressure on you to fulfill a career. Dont forget your duties at home and working out in service. This system is falling and starting a career is illegitimate to Jehovah. Just the usual bashing of education etc. Interestingly enough my family is the most educated in the hall. We all have degrees. My family didnt say anything about the talk
