Hello everyone,

In these times of fast changeswe should always be on

the watch for surprises.

Please, take a look at this WTBS Inc. statement published recently in :

The Watchtower August 1 st , 2001 page 14 8

concerning a mature Christian:

He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or

harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding.

Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is

revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, andthe faithful and discreet slave . By regularly taking in thespiritual food provided at the proper time - through Christian publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions- we can be sure that we maintain oness in the faith with fellow Christians in faith and knowledge.-

Matthew 24:45

Now, after reading it, please compare with this one,

published only16 months later:

The Watchtower 1 st December 2002 page 22, par. 15

This points to the importance of keeping up with our

understanding of the truth as revealed by Jehovah

through his Word and through the faithful and discreet

slave class. Regular personal study of the Bible and Bi-

ble based publications vital to maintenance of our spiri-

tual armor. Matthew 24:45-47; Ephesians 6:14-15.

Have you noticed it?

a) Who is missing in all this process of understanding the TRUTH???

Of course you have noticed itno one else but ..the Son

of God, Jesus Christ himself !!!

b) Who is always there???

Yesyou know it already the faithful and discreet slave

c) We are informed that in the year 2002, Jehovah is

still making revelations. Then then apostle John, yes

the writer of Revelation was not the last one to

receive revelations.

I wonder why all this, then I did remember something written quite sometime ago, in

The Watchtower June 15 th , 1957 page 370, last

part of 7. There the WTBS Inc. reminded us that:

It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the

directions of the slave as we would to the voice of God,

because it is His provision.

Finally I did understand who on earth needs Jesus Christ?

We have an immense, greater privilege : the s l a v e which has been put on the same level as the voice of God!

I do hope that all this was not too much...

Shuttle Explosion

by RR in

jw
friends

my sympathies go out to the families of those lost in the shuttle explosion.. .

but you think with all the billions the society has they would have a message of comfort for these people.. .

a full page ad in the paper, a short spot on the telly.

MacHislopp

Hello RR,

sorry for the extremely sad news...but this tragic things

do happen without notice. Btw, about the attitute of the

WTBS Inc., they.. didn't move for those beheaded in the

Filippines and all those who are still captive. Yet they have

the possibility, the money...it is quite simple:

they don't care it is not their own life .

UN letter to ex-jw site in Spain

by Marcos in

dont know if this information is old or of any value.

i found it on a yahoo!

discussion board in spain.

MacHislopp

Hello Marcos,

thanks for the clarification. Maybe it was me who

misunderstood your comment.

Anyhow I do agree entirely your statement:

"but decline to engage them in conversation. For me it is like trying

to reason with a drunk. It leads nowhere. True believers can be so obtuse.

My method is to just let people ask me what I think and why."

Most of the time this way is the best way...!

Sad but true.

FARTING IN THE KINGDOM HALL.

by nightwarrior in

i was lead to beleive that cleanlinness was next to godliness,that jehovah is a clean god, .

as we as a family sat down behind ( being the operative word ) a couple of elderly sisters ,arriving late we took the only seats available,even then we caused disruption as we even i were fighting over the seats as to where one would sit ,sure enough i allways seemed to end up in the firing line of these elderly fat arsed sisters,whom allways ended up farting in your face,the smell was so strong that you could actualy taste the stench it in the air 10 minutes later,i allways felt sick ,my children grinning .

how did you cope yourself

MacHislopp

Hello everyone,

thanks for the many " funny moments".

I'll give one of the best in my experience.

There was this brother who could really pack

a strong, fast and a very loud ones...and guess

what his nickname was "...winchester.."

obviously not the cathedral. His best one was

at the end of an answer concerning the heavenly

organization and the angels..." .. very

fast moving beings,..with a lot of power.."

and in that moment a " loud and sharp shot"

was heard in the hall...!

Well many of us were in tears for quite a long

time...and "winchester " ...well he remained

quite for a while.

I do believe that some "fun" it's energy for the body.

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 2-2-03 WT Study

by blondie in

comments you will not hear at the 2-2-03 wt study

december 15, 2002.

use the bible, not wt publications.

MacHislopp

Hello Blondie ,

As usual great stuff, great comments and very fitting.

Allow me to add my opinion.

1) Have the over 1 billion each in India and China had such an opportunity? What about the millions in Muslim countries where evangelizing is proscribed with the sentence of death. Have these ones received the Kingdom message? No, then they are doomed. No paradise with everlasting life for them. Only a straight shot to Gehenna at Armageddon.

A real difficult point to debate with anyone!

2) Total I found over 50 commentaries quoted in the WTS publications. Now if the

"very knowledge of God" is not to be found, why use them as credible resources

to back their statements?

An excellent exemple of turning the table!

3) We do have an accurate understand of such matters. Why?

Jehovah has blessed us with insight into spiritual truth that escapes

many "wise and intellectual ones."

Considering what they wrote in the past and even todayhow on earth

Can they make such a claim: Jehovah has blessed us with insight into spiritual truth

4) 9/15/65 The Watchtower pages 575-6

Questions from Readers

In his illustration of the sheep and the goats Jesus indicated that a separating work would be done "when the Son of man arrives in his glory," and that persons would be classed as either "sheep" or "goats." (Matt. 25:31-46) In part, the basis for the separation would be the reaction of people to the preaching of the good news of the established kingdom. That preaching work is now being done by Jehovahs witnesses. Jesus explained that those on earth who favorably responded to that message and treated kindly its bearers would be classed as "sheep" and would enter into "everlasting life."

Well since all this kind of blessing with insight into spiritual truth coming from Jehovah (!!!) was nullified/modified/eliminated in 1995, I do believe that also the rest of the same article ,planned and written the WTBS Inc. is also without value.

MacHislopp

Hello Marcos,

thanks about the news from Spain. It's great to know

that many, in Spain also, found about the United Nations

and the WTBS Inc. involvment ( which lasted more than

10 years). What will be interesting to know, is the reaction

caused by this matter in many Spanish congregations,

reaction of "mature " brothers and sisters, elders, MS,

CO, DO etc.

Could you give us some idea abot it?

Thanks again, greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
