Video about boy to not play violin?

by Crazyguy in

it looks to me as though they are saying don't play at a higher level because your then in competition?

so if i'm correct what if any bible scriptures can be used to back up this anti competitive idea and are there other scriptures showing the opposite?.

Lieu

King David would have a huge sad about the violin playing youngster. Do we think he made all those songs (psalms) to the tunes of crappy harp players? Do we believe there was no process to choose who would play music in the court of the King?

JW spiritual music is devoid of any feeling and originality. Enough to make any omnipotent diety hearing it scream in agony.

And how can one "down" competition while proclaiming the virtues of "running the race for life", the biggest competition there is? Isn't everyone trying to win that? You don't win if you don't compete.

Poor kid. Hell end up a janitor making minimum wage when he could support himself using his skilled musical talent in a local orchestra.

Why suck the joy out of every aspect of life?

New commentary on revelation coming up?

by EdenOne in

i heard through the grapevine about a forthcoming book:.

together through the great tribulation - come to jehovah's mountain.

still awaiting solid confirmation though.

Rutherford said those 7 blasts were fulfilled in the 7 conventions (Cedar Point anyone) back in the day when Jesus chose JWs to be 'special'.

No worries, according to past "light" there's no real action going to happen they simply symbolize some talks from a platform. Depending on one's view, that's either a serious disappointment or a good thing in a laid back way.

What, it's changing again?

My new commentary is that we are living not in the "last days" but at the end of the 1000 year reign. Satan's about to be let loose (so no he wasn't in the smurfs) and the naughty will be in high gear drawing followers after themselves and away from Christ. Also, too, no petting large smelly wildlife surrounded by flies until after the naughty have disappeared forever ... and the flies.

So, there.

***I see I was late mentioning the conventions. Sorry for the repeat.***

Theodore Jaracz

by joe134cd in

i was just reading the below article on theodore jaracz.

http://watchtowerdocuments.org/the-theocratic-life-and-times-of-theodore-jaracz/.

although the article never states whyjaraz was suddenly removed from the australian branch.

From what I know of him, he was like most GB members, quite individualistic and could care less about "the brothers" or their needs. A company man with no mercy or feeling. More concerned with appearances than substance. His wife? Just as unconcerned about anyone but herself. Most were glad when he died.

He was no Christlike man, he was an asshole.

“Worldwide Epidemic”

by berrygerry in

watching the world - awake june 22, 1977. during the first interhemispheric conference on adolescent fertility, held recently at arlington, virginia, the delegates representing thirty-nine nations concluded that childbearing among teen-agers has reached the proportions of a “worldwide epidemic.” as quoted in medical tribune, iranian journalist nalia kazemian said in the keynote speech: “[we must] face the fact that the world-wide trend towards pregnancy and childbearing [at an early age] is a physical, social, and demographic crisis.

damaging the whole fabric of society.”.

daily mail - june 2, 2016. us teen pregnancy rate falls to an historic low.

Well, if it's an issue, certain demographics should plead to their authorities to change marriage laws. In other words, stop marrying off teen daughters.

Today's WT. Jephthah's Daughter - Virgin Slave or Crispy Critter?

by Slidin Fast in

i whiled away the time today in the wt researching the above question on line.

it seems to me that there is more evidence to say that the account simply depicts the poor nameless child/woman as being toast.

the idea of her going into "tabernacle service" is completely fabricated and has no basis in scripture.

Lieu

What I find odd about bible "scholars", particularly Christians, is that they never seem to ask the Jews about their own writings.

Jepthah's daughter, the question posed of the lady who had seven husbands ( I know where that came from), the saying 'Where the dead body is there the vultures will gather.' (Where there's smoke there's fire. Ie, it will be obvious)

Ya gotta ask stuff if you want to know the whole of what's going on/being said.

I just don't understand this, what am I missing???

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

as i am watching this video about changes at bethel, the speaker said, "aren't we glad the faithful and discrete slave continues to make adjustments when necessary.

what about this change?

"finally, we examined why jesus’ arrival to appoint the faithful slave over all his belongings did not occur in 1919 but will take place during the great tribulation" that is from this online watchtower article last paragraph: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20130715/jesus-prophecy-last-days/ .

Lieu

See, that's your problem Greybeard. You got that thinking "disease"; that abomination which causes desolation. (I can jack up and misuse scriptures too, ☺) There's no understanding the incoherent, unreasonable, or insane.

They GB all but came out and said, "obey us even if it doesn't make any sense." That was said for the oldz that know stuff and for the young who may put together a coherent thought.

Videos of hiding in bunkers, extreme shunning bringing praise, give up all your means to 'the invisible cause' again? We're not the slave but are the slave. The org (a frigging LLC) is mother. We're your mediator, not Jesus ... follow us, obey us!!!! Do more! Tight pants and colorful socks are of satan. Referring to Christ as their brother but never their Lord, King, head, or husbandly owner? (Anyone can ignore a brother or sister)

Leaving the message of salvation for one of judgement????

I am quite afraid for my JW relatives as the GB and the psycho drunks in Writing seem off their lithium and about to go full moonbat.
