the whole elder body teaching and governing body teaching was based on research by a well known "apostate" raymond franz.
franz wrote the aid book articles which gave rise to the changes made in the congregations and bethel.
knorr was deposed by the johnny come lately new governing body members who in turn gave birth to those in charge today.
Well, they got rid of the AID book by copy/pasting the best parts and adding a "so then" and a "therefore we see" in a few places and calling it the Insight book.
Thus enabling themselves to think they can still have talent in their writing department but we know better....
during the rc today i heard this(i am paraphrasing and translating):.
"jehovah has created the physical universe for us.
he is a spirit and he can't enjoy physical things so he created it for us alone.

march 11, 2010, updated 7:00 am </form>this and that - 10 march 2010, 9:11 am </form>jehovahs witnesses offer free bible instruction in englishsanto domingo there is now help available for english speakers with a spiritual inclination here in santo domingo.
starting january 3, 2010 and continuing every sunday thereafter, christian meetings are held in english at the salon del reino de los testigos de jehova, #33 avenida francia on the corner of galvan, in the gascue sector of santo domingo.beginning promptly at 7:30 pm the congregated english speakers will listen to a 30-minute bible lecture.
Note, it says, for english speakers. This wasn't meant to teach english.
I know Gascue and Avenida Francia very wel ( used to be the branch office), all embasys are there. That's why they started these meetings. In fact there are some english congregations now in the DR.
i saw an instagram post showing a short clip of a talk being given in one of our southern states.
the talk clip showed speaker making the statement, "jehovah doesn't want anyone to know satans real name, jehovah hates satan so much, he doesn't even want his name mentioned" .
i posted in comments: matt 5:44-48 with the full scripture rendered from niv.
sometimes i get a strong curiosity to start dabbling into other religions, other faiths, you know?
really different ones such as islam, judaism, hinduism, etc.. has anyone here looked into something else?
has your spirituality been satisfied by any other than christianity?.
righto poppickers.
as some of you know, i have been putting together a book of interviews and humour.
it is designed (i hope), soften the blow for those inside the wbt$ who want to escape and also prove to those that have left that they are not alone.. anyway.
on jw broadcasting malenfant's latest video, "do not be misled by the wicked" states (@ 4:30) "did it (the serpent) take a bite of the forbidden fruit and because of that was she allowed to gain this ability to speak?".
where does malenfant get the idea that the serpent in the garden was female?.
interesting, because malenfant, like the governing body, adds to scripture what is not there.
The meetings are worth going to just for the Ripley's Believe It Or Not content.
Lol, great!! :) :)
am3rd life story is in may 15th 2015 study wt.. after reading, he sounds very mental unstable.
i know you guys will be saying "yeah, obviously he is"...but we don't have any concrete evidence saying he has a mental condition.. has anyone ever dug a little deeper, perhaps try to find some people who would have known him from the army?
i mean, he probably doesn't know that many people, he was only serving for a year for christs sake.
Anyone who puts " the third" after his name is not taken serious, from european perspectief I mean. It's like the knighted for Some effort and who wants to be called Sir all day long.Yes.... Why not calling him Sir Anthony.
omg...what a waste of a day.....my wife is in full cult mode.
we had one chair seperating us in the bleachers.
we did not talk on the way to and on the way from.
could someone do me a favor and post the picture on page 9 on the above mentioned watchtower.. i'll point it out, very surprised no one else has picked up on this creepy image..
That's the one Punk, thanks. Putting this I image in the picture was very very cynical. Among esoterists, Zeus is the personification of EN-KI, or Lucifer.
(Librorum prohibitorum, part one ((fallen angels)), page 177 has the same image as the one in the skirt ). Disgusting to do this to innocent people in a kingdom-hall.
