  it was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.

  in front of the band, two watchtower literature carts stood in solidarity.

  i could not work out who were the jws attending them.

  Individual Governing Body Members and Lawsuits

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know if this has any legal implications:.

  since the identities of the individual members of the governing body have been publicly confirmed (not that we didn't know that before) can that open the way for direct lawsuits to be leveled against members?.

  for instance are there any laws in the usa that would open the way for geoffrey jackson to be targetted by the lawsuits from child abuse or no blood transfusion deaths?.

  Also...you must remember that now, they are ONLY the GB when they meet about the religious direction of the ORG. They're an entity. Individually, they are NOT the GB or Faithful Slave. Only when together.

  Imagine if the mafia only had ONE BOSS of the 5 families (in NY), but that BOSS only existed when the 5 heads of the commission came together for sit-downs. That's what the GB is like.

  JW doctrine change: Can there still be apostates/ korah rebels now that FDS not appointed yet?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since rutherford's time, it was taught that the leaders/gb/fds/etc appointed over all the belongings.

  so if anybody rebelled or didn't follow who god or jesus appointed over all the earth, it was rebelling against god /and/or jesus himself.

  since the new doctrine teaches that the appointment over all the belongings is a future event, then that means nobody has been appointed over all the belongings (according to their own words), so i wonder, how can they still attempt to claim that all must obey them and not doing so is against god himself?

  and remember...the 144,000 (even though not all of them are GB members, aka FDS) will be appointed over ALL the belongings then, even though not all were FDS (whom the scripture is supposedly talking about).

  Those funny ol' guys in NY I tell ya. LOL

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?

  second study article July 15th 2013

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  last weekend congos around the world studied the second artcile of the famous wt 15th july.. it dealt with the prohecy in matthew 13 about the weeds and the wheat.. while they claim, that the gathering in the storehouse took place after 1914, the gathering to the kingdom of heaven will be right before armageddon.

  what they did not mention, was when the resurrection of already dead anointed will happen.

  why some of them shine brightly in the kingdom, while others are still on earth ?.

  Simple and plain. He will most-likely cave in and tell the Elders EVERYTHING. I've seen it dozens of times, although it is rare for a "man" to have this much guilt on his shoulders, but...oh well. Because you are a sister and you are both engaged to one another, your punishment...because there will be a sentencing (LOL) ...will only be "private reproof". You may be restricted from commenting at the meetings until after your wedding, and he will most-likely not be able to comment or carry microphones, man the soundsystem etc. for as long.

  NOW - since you're having doubts about the ORG...I must ask you to consider all of this very seriously. You could get married and regret it, eventually being labled an apostate and being DF'd somewhere down the line with him resenting you wishing he had never done those "sexy things" with you and Jehovah, or Satan, is now paying him back for that night with...well...YOU. OOOOOR, you can call off the wedding, which is less painful than divorce, fade from the society, and live a happy life free from guilt.
