  The meaning of "encouragement" seems to have disappeared. Sad.

  The beatings will continue until morale improves.

  Watchtower myth: God’s will discerned through committees, not individual leaders

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  be it the governing body, or the a judicial committee of the local elder body, when a two-thirds majority vote is reached, it is viewed as god’s will, as the action of holy spirit, of jesus nudging the stars in his right hand.

  [and if i’m not mistaken, the minority is encouraged to change their vote, so that is “unanimous”.

  anthony morris alluded to this when he unsuccessfully tried to explain why the governing body is not dogmatic.

  That info from Franz, yep. It's akin to wanting all the authority but none of the responsibility.

  This is why their (GB) claim of being the "faithful and discreet slave" is bunk. In every parable, each individual "slave" is held responsible for the decision made and action taken.

  No group assessment and no blame placing.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  Luke 21:7-8 NETSo they asked him, "Teacher, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?" [8] He said, "Watch out that you are not misled. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them!

  
  Matthew 24:24-27 NETFor false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. [25] Remember, I have told you ahead of time. [26] So then, if someone says to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe him. [27] For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

  
  Look! He is here .... invisibly!!!!Everything the WTBTS claims would be destroyed if they got rid of 1914. It's a HUGE problem for WTBTS.

  
  But that's what you get for trying to know something you are told you cannot know. ie. That's what one gets for trying to steal info.

  Superheroes and Aliens are bad????

  You mean like Christ and Angels? Mankind's savior/ hero and his extra terrestrial family. Yeah, ok.

  If it ain't a Biblical NT restriction then use your own discretion about what to like. If you need someone else to tell you what to think about every little thing; you're just too stupid to possess free will or a reasoning mind.

  Weird how they claim "Bible trained" minds yet are afraid to let those trained minds think for themselves. It's an admission that their Bible training is sorely insufficient. 

  A "Bible trained" JW is like a 50 yr old man still living in his parents basement.

  The Law of Unintended Consequences

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body/watchtower unduly influences millions into extreme beliefs and behaviors.

  and i suspect folks like anthony morris thinks his flock is not obedient or strict enough and there are many rules and teachings the governing body would love to enact but do not have the votes, or even they have the sense enough to know it would go too far.

  however, i can’t help how by the time their edicts filter down to the rank and file jw, it causes unintended consequences.

  First mistake is thinking the GB have a flock.

  Second, is thinking any sheep roaming about belong to them.

  That's the problem. People thinking hired workers are actually the CEO.

  Jonah's success, J-dubs failure in preaching.

  by Darkknight757 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  3:1 then the word of the lord came to jonah a second time: 2 “go to the great city of nineveh and proclaim to it the message i give you.”3 jonah obeyed the word of the lord and went to nineveh.

  now nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.

  4 jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “forty more days and nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 the ninevites believed god.

  JWs aren't failures. Seriously. Everyone knows who they are and not to answer the door.

  Not sure why we should equate the everyday publisher with a Prophet and Apostles.

  All those "preaching" instructions and proclamations are for the "annointed". Run of the mill publishers aren't under any obligations to preach since none of the NT applies to them, per WTBTS.

  Jonah got sucked up because he was upset that God didn't kill everyone in Nineveh. Kinda like a mean Elder, Jonah wanted the Ninevehvites disfellowshipped despite repentance. Lol

  Muslims know of Christ. They believe he was the great prophet sent to the Jews (to whom the Jews didn't listen).
