  Giving the GB a Windows Version Name

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know which version of gb we are on.

  (also unknown, which "old light" doctrines they changed to conveniently fortify their own position, when i was at gilead in 2005, i called them 2.0 because the last of the old guard was dying off.. for those associated with "ancient" history, windows started to come in their own with 3.0 and 3.1 in the early 1990s.

  that is, until windows 95 happened, and the ubiquitous start button was first introduced.

  Teachings/beliefs that fade into oblivion without explanation.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  "millions now living will never die" that teaching persisted for a number of years from the early 1920`s ,sad to say that their would not be anywhere near millions alive today.and with another few years their won`t be anybody alive .. the year 1925 was supposed to see the resurrection of faithful men of old such as abraham issac and jacob and noah who were to be princes in the earth.

  of course no such thing happened and we don`t here anything more about that prediction anymore.. the time period between adams creation and eves creation was an excuse why armageddon was delayed in about october 1975 because they didn`t know how much time had elapsed between the two.

  that`s all forgotten about now.. six thousand years of human history was supposed to have ended in about october 1872 according to studies in the scriptures vol.2 1906 , the "time is at hand" page 11 (forward 1916 ) puts the start of the one thousand year reign of jesus christ as of the year 1873. so in 1906 they the i.b.s.a.

  it was actually the long expected 1995 change that made me -- born-in 1975 survivor -- believe again; no more "around the corner", because with the "wicked generation since 1914" there was no more corner, fog only, fully in line with Jesus' words "nobody knows the hour"; along with other improvements in the late 90s everything seemed to improve -- until TJs handpicked GB 2.0 took over and the poor old John Barr, the sincerest member of the GB was forced to present the overlapping nonsense at the AM

  Funny grammar error in German Watchtower

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

  in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

  the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

  Teddy Hero Worship Continues -- Sept 15 Study Edition Bio on Melita Jaracz

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

  basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

  BOE Letter: New Adjustments

  **this was predicted from some members here**.

  to all congregations .

  re: adjustments in organizational terminology and assembly arrangements .

  Finally terms make sense:

  a circuit (or part of it) attends a circuit assembly with the circuit overseer present and alternating visits by the district overseer and a branch representative

  a district convention was not always attended by the district overseer and never assembled exactly all the circuits forming a district visited by the same district overseer (with some exceptions in smaller countries perhaps), so speaking of regional conventions makes sense

  a zone overseer never visited a zone but got a yearly appointment to visit a number of branches, so it is overdue to abandon the use of the terms "zone" and "zone overseer"

  it seems branch visits by headquarter representatives will no longer include a special meeting for a selected few, but will be transmitted to all congregations in the branch territory, so the lacking day of the circuit assembly will be compensated for

  and/or the agm may become a regular feature for all to attend...

  so not surprising but quite reasonal decisions
