  video # 1,246: how can the governing body be considered the "channel of communication" from jehovah without being inspired .

  the collapse of governing body member jeffrey winder's arguments: a critical look at a jehovah's witness excuse [by watchtower examination, winston gillum - montego bay, jamaica].

  the governing body of jehovah's witnesses believe & teach millions upon millions of jehovah's witnesses world wide that they as a body, are not inspired or infallible.

  THANK YOU BLONDIE!

  That is exactly the article to which I was referring. So, maybe we should add the following to it:

  Deuteronomy 18:20-22

  New International Version

  20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”

  21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

  It does not mean that God tells them what to say or write. That would be a prophet. A prophet relays God's messages.

  FYI -- WT claimed in the WT to be God's "prophet". Seems like it was an issue in 1972. I'd take the time to look it up but . . . . .

  

  Look it up yourself, if you think you can deal with the cognitive dissonance.

  Although CNN does not mention any sources other than a vague agency, doesn’t show the report, who signed off on it. Just a ‘trust me bro’.

  OH! Is this the same CNN that said Trump would be in jail and Harris would be President?

  so begins “the great rage”.

  I suppose that's supposed to be some OH SO PROPHETIC QUOTE from so old antiquated scroll that hasn't been correct about anything, but it's supposed to make us get excited and tremor.

  Same Bullshit, Different Day (Year, Decade, Century, etc)

  IT'S NOT! (Unless your a blind Cult Member).

  well, it's been 50 years since armageddon occurred.. seems to me that things haven't really changed all that much.

  is it just me or does anyone else seem to think that things have actually got worse??

  SPIMI Friend Asked Me For The Name Of My (FORMER) Congregation

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a present-spimi friend texted me to ask me the name of my congregation--which is my former and last one that i left right after becoming completely/presently pomo.

  she was a longtime buddy, who was pimq-pimo-ppimi-on-occasion for many decades.

  then shortly before the pandemic, she was dating a brother who was reaching out to become an ms [mind you, this guy was a mic-handler for several decades as well--until an older brother (who was a close friend of his uncle--who converted him into the cultporation years ago--encouraged him to the point of harrassing him to move up the wt corporate ladder🙄😤].

  If there have been Cong closings and "shuffling" as there has been here, you could say "I live in the XXX Cong territory since the (changes). But it does sounds like she might want to "inquire about you" at whatever Cong you claim to be with.

  If you do reply, be sure to tell he how great everything is going for you. Life couldn't be better!

  The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

  Most JWs are broke.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  Vander --

  Same meme could be used for Daniel's prophecy on KOTN & KOTS.

  but it really does look like king of the South is Britain, America, Israel, Ukraine, and a few other allies
  King of the north is Iran and most of the Muslim nations who hate Israel, then of course Russia, China, North Korea, and the rest of their allies are all king of the north

  OR, just maybe it's all just mythological bullshit from 1000's of years ago -- about as realistic as Joseph Smith and the gold plates.
