  Qualifications for Gods Sole Channel--interesting article from the meletivivlon site

  by Jon Preston in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  qualifications to become gods channel of communication[this article was contributed by apollos].

  the new teaching of the appointment of the faithful and discreet slave has arguably made 1919 an even more important date to jehovahs witnesses than 1914. appendix b1 of the revised nwt bible shows a time line of the message of the bible in relation to gods rulership.

  it is of note that the official doctrine of the establishment of gods kingdom in 1914 is not even mentioned only that satan was cast down around that time.. ever since the 1919 doctrine was announced at the 2012 agm, and subsequently published in the july 15th watchtower 2013, the appointment of the slave seems to have become a much more prominent topic in our teaching, and indeed in general discussion among witnesses.. of course we should remind ourselves that this new level of interest really has nothing to do with the date, and everything to do with the nature of the appointment.

  Why did Rutherford spend money like a king at Watchtower HQ, the best cars, booze and food? His "Vow of Poverty" is a joke, I hope he is burning in Hell now! I think about the fact Rutherford drove the equivalent of two Rolls Royces during the Great Depression while the Rank-and-File were peddling bikes around town.

  Think now, what did Rutherford do that would make Jesus Christ notice he was alive? The "hate speech" against all the Christian Churches? Was it Sedition and creating mobs during World War 1? Rutherford and L. Ron Hubbord are two birds of a kind, L. Ron Hubbord pulled all his doctrines out of his ass, Rutherford looked at the Bible and twerked it so it pleasured him while his dance partners were the recipients of his painful dance!

  After reading COC and ISOCF, it's childish how we all were tricked by our non-thinking parents who selfishly longed to be taken out of this world so they would not have to assimilate. The Message of Rutherford was Theocratic-Materialism, you don't have to go to college, work a good job and God will provide the followers of the Watchtower with their neighbors homes and material goods after the Big A came. JWs have no idea how bad the teachings of Rutherford were, his interpretations if shown to the Modern JWs might cause them to mentally flicker for a second until they become nervous your trying to trick them. Which Bible Interpretations would Jesus have been proud of? I find no enlightment in the Watchtower's deceptive teachings, the majority is lies and does not promote the true quality of love!

  exJW Elder and Felon in Jail

  exjw elder and felony fugative, michael johnson norris, plead guilt today, 2/27/2014, in santa barbara county superior court for sexual molestation of the daughter of brandon joel, under a plea deal norris was sentenced to in state prison, a far cry from the possible 25 years he could have received had the case gone to trial.

  the family has full intentions of pursuing a civil litigation against norris and the watchtower society that harbors pedophiles..

  Santa Barbara County has plenty of JW Pedophiles, it would not surprise me if he was part of the same Body of Elders, who kept my friendly Pedophile-Elder's secret for years. True, many Elder Bodies are good at keeping the secrets of their own Elders even when they are child rapists as we all learned from the lawsuits plaguing the Watchtower Corp.

  What can we say, I really believe the Kingdom Hall is capable hiding all the Pedophiles the World can bring to them! Remember, if you made a accusation against Brother Johnson, your guilty of gossip and the Elders can punish you if you warn the young mother with three little girls under the age of 10, the Elders will call you in their Office and say "Stop spreading the truth about Brother Chester!" What better way to stagnate your thinking faculty than joining the "City of Refuge" for Pedophiles, glad this asshole is going to jail, is it possible Big Brutus is waiting for him?

  Modern Day Governing Body Members Do Not Go "Door To Door" or Informal Witnessing! Why?

  what sorrow awaits you!

  for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.

  20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.

  D.D. it looks like a case of PhotoShop, what's the reason to lie about the preaching work? Ray Franz Jr. (a Governing Body Member) was very clear when he said only a few of the Governing Body felt they were obligated to Preach the Bible from door-to-door, the rest had problems attending Meetings and played hookey from Monday and Wed Night Meetings, Ray Franz had no reason to lie about the lack of zeal his fellow GB Members showed towards the Good News, just like the Pharisees, the GB want the most prominent spots at the table, don't want to lower themselves to attend Kingdom Halls unless it's a Grand Opening, we have more than enough evidence to support the majority of the GB don't preach from door-to-door.

  St. Paul, St. Peter, St. John and all the other Apostles got rolled! If they saw how the Governing Body live, they would ask Jesus "Hey, I thought we were not suppose to play the role of king and priest until we got to Heaven, why are these guys living like gods?"

  James Wood commented on this topic, he too discovered there were GB Members shirking off their duty and acting sluggish with the Preaching Work, I can't wait for Jesus Christ to judge these Hypocrites! Tellings us to preach the good news when they are too busy, why do you think the COs take so many breaks, they are not motivated to preach either!

  Did you all know your sin is broadcasted before the entire Elder Body?

  2. When those sins are told to one Elder Body, they are shared often with the wives of the Elders. Moving along, everything that goes down on the Elder Body eventually makes it around the Circuit. I think I mentioned one of the Elders in CreepVille Congregation(He decided to impress me with his vast knowledge of confidential talk and shared with me all the sins people all over the Circuit committed) told me, he knew brothers in different congregations were going to get disfellowshiped before the "accused" knew! What religion shares all your sins with everyone around the State, J-dee-do! JW Elders leak your sins to everyone they feel should hear your story, they are a wicked group of men who can't keep confidential talk between the sinner and themself, they most broadcast your sins and if you tell them you sinned after reading these posts, your deserve to be humiliated!

  Too many good members on JWN have taken the Sword so you can avoid the pain and suffering these J-committees inflict on you. I talked with all my kids and told them "Never tell the Elders anything, you have sins you want to confess, I am a Elder and we can pray together, you don't need these Posers (Agents of Satan) spreading gossip about you everywhere. If you tell the elders you sinned, you are a fool!

  If the Watchtower Represents Jehovah, How Come They Don't Share In Public Forums Like St. Paul?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  other apostles of the bible were not afraid to engage in religious discussions (peter in the temple court yard), paul before festus, king agrippa and bernice, paul before the emperors of rome and his religious consorts or experts.. .

  i don't see the watchtower's scholars of fame engaging with the world's religions or metaphysical discussions, why?

  if fundamental christians, catholic and anglican church apologist are not afraid to debate topics with scientist, how come the people who claim to be "jehovah's only" don't share in the "thought of public ideas"?

  BOTR, are you going to get "ordained" eventually? I thought of taking classes and using all my JW experience to help with a Prison Ministry, are you doing this for your own edification or plan on teaching?

  Are they arrogant like the COs and DOs along with Bethel Company men, they hated to answer tough questions. JW Clergy are not good with the tough questions, I hope you kick ass in your studies and enjoy!

  hoser, did that Photo-Shop get proved? Why did this not make more fan-fare over a lie like that? How can Sammy Herd get away with saying he is going to do the Master's work and go sit back on Bethels porch with Tonny Morris and Stephen Lett? If the Witnesses only knew or maybe they are so deluded to believe they are better than Jesus Christ and don't have to preach in the public square. The Governing Body has put themselves above the Apostles and Jesus Christ by shirking off the Preaching Work, how sad!

  Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

  when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

  this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

  Data-Dog, do you think in our Modern Times if a guy came from Heaven and started to cure all the ails of the V.A. Hospitals, Limb regenerations, waking people up from comas, fixing the mentally ills, would people believe or would they find excuses why he was not a real Prophet?

  If the Prophet continued and cured people with inopperable cancer, would people's hearts change? How many miracles would it take for you to believe this guy is from God? People raised from the dead of your choice, I think if they raised up my Dad and siblings, I could sure use that spiritual boast because it's been so long since God has turned his attention to the Spiritual Seekers, what is he waiting for? How many miracles would it take to convince the most die-hard unbelievers? You think a Prophet would be accused of using High Technology and told "Your not God's Prophet, your just a advanced civilization?" I wonder if it's possible even with miracles to make the staunch believe, what say you?

  i stopped believing in god in july 2013. in the first 3 months or so i felt liberated and relieved that i can live my life anyway i wanted without worrying about an invisible being watching my every move.

  i also felt slightly superior that i was able to figure out that god isn't real while the majority of mankind continued to be fooled.

  atfer the feelings of excitment statrted to wear off, i started to become more depressed and empty.

  What do you make of page 956 and first part of 957 on this PDF?

  Space, how is life since you returned to the Kingdom Hall, do the Friends treat you better now and cherish you more? I know it's hard to return after any lenght of time, people in the Kingdom Hall can be either cruel or kind, usually most don't give a damm if you ever return, they are looking for new recruits to replace all the old-time Witnesses who actually could debate, now you got a lot of loops running the show! No disrespect meant for you, I am happy you are finding joy there, much better than the brothers and sister who killed themselves back in 2011.

  Steve I wonder if your the reincarnated Confucious! You amaze me constantly with your wisdom, you must have had good parents!
  
  "Some people have a strong need to stay on medication that soften's life's hardships. Understandable - but not a good longer-term strategy for getting a life worth living." Steve

  SpaceMadness has your life gotten more simple since rejoining the Organization? I hope it's more sane and life is treating you better, just don't share your inner thoughts with anyone, it's for the best to remain Double-007 agent.

  How are you battling the crazy comments coming from the mouths of uneducated whack-jobs spouting off Scriptures that have no meaning for the 99 percent? The New Testament was written only for the Annointed according the the hard-core Reps from the Watchtower. I don't understand how the Kingdom Hall provides people with a stable environment, there are so many two-faced, backstabbers attending, it's more a Spiritual Hell and Pedophile Paradise than a aid for good people like yourself!

  Keep us posted how life is treating you!
