  so we had brother losch visiting our special assembly day which was weird in itself.

  2. beliefs

  i have a vague memory of jws having some objection to logos of some kind in the past, which might be a contradiction to the recent addition of the jw.org logo.. please can someone enlighten me on what their stance used to be regarding logos?.

  They have slipped it in ........

  2. bible

  as we know, we can search the bible from cover to cover and we dont find any reference to the governing body.

  not now, it has been slipped in for the outine of contents for acts 15. here we are looking at history through a modern, distorting lens.. outline of contents.

  dispute in antioch regarding circumcision (1, 2)question brought to jerusalem (3-5)elders and apostles meet together (6-21)letter from the governing body (22-29)?

  Oct 2014 to Jan 2014 Study WT's - What is 'really' being taught each week....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since it seems most study watchtowers are all about worshipping the gb, i decided to look at oct of this year through jan 2014 study watchtowers and list the title of the study article, then the rewritten title to show what the point and teaching for the jw's to take home was.

  i did that to see if it taught anything not having to do with gb worship, obeying, etc.

  study article titled by the watchtowerfixing the title name based on the content of the articlecreation reveals the living god oct 2013only through the gb's published material can you discern god's qualitiesslave for jehovah oct 2013slave for the governing bodylessons from a well prepared prayer oct 2013confess to the elders or you won't get god's forgivenessact in harmony with jesus loving prayer oct 2013being regular at meetings is how you pass jesus requirement of lovenov 2013 be vigilant with a view to prayersdon't complain to god about your horrible life as a result from listening to the gb, and pray to not slow down on your field servicehow can we maintain a waiting attitude?ignore that the gb are false prophets and pretend that the end having not come is jehovah's patience.

  Should I 'out' the JWs to my wife's Bible study?

  by AnthonyMorrisXIII in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it came to me to send my wife's bible study an anonymous e-mail with some info on jws, perhaps the pdf pamphlete on jwfacts, or now the lattest news articles from the independent/telegraph etc.

  i feel it might make me a bit of a low-down.

  on the other hand i'm really curious as to what the outcome could be.. should i?.

  this explanation is extracted from the reasoning book, page 205. .

  jesus foretold for our day this work: this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  he also instructed his followers: go .

  Curious: How Does 1 Tim 6:4 Appear in the Interlinear Greek (aka "purple bible")?

  by DarioKehl in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  we've all seen the line-by-line comparison of john 1:1 with the addition of "a god" when "was god" is visible in the left margin under "theos" in the infamous grimace/barney/grape crush purple bible book.

  i'd check for myself, but unfortunately, i hastily rid my house of all things wt in a purging fit while beginning my fade.

  and let me tell you, the fire was spectacular!

  Nov.15th WT - Quotes Dissing - Internet, Higher Education, Earning a Living

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of us here are aware the wt society is using the " kool-aid " , or witness only version as i call it - to indoctrinate and intimidate jw members through fear and guilt to avoid anything that takes their devotion and attention away from allegiance to the wt society's ambitions.

  so the wt society is amping up it's control methods once again in various articles in this issue as well.. first off - notice this quote from page 14 , paragraph 16 , regarding how " dangerous " allegedly the internet is.

  it states, " these desires ( of the world ) involve such things as promiscuity, prominence , and possessions.

  assemblies and my lovely wife

  by stillin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i finally put a couple of pieces together that have boggled me for years.. i would take my family to the conventions and assemblies and for some reason, my wife would always be upset or start an argument in the car on the way home, or in the week that follows.

  i realize now that her frustration is that i am not the guy in the demonstrations.

  you know, the guy who has the bestfriend/elder who always says the perfect thing and the guy is so humble and does this little talks-to-himself thing where he reveals his deep spirituality and applies the ever-so-wise words of his friend and after that life is just great again!.
