a real estate document on the robeson county website is filed:.
the religious order of jehovah's witnesses has provided a "life estate" for them.they can live in this townhouse until they are deceased or choose to move away and in either case the ownership becomes entirely the property of jehovah's witnesses.
"At first she did not partake but was told by the CO that she should partake for the reason above, She continued to partake until her death years later."
I remember an article, either from the Watchtower or Awake, that explained the same thing - if an anointed person leaves the Organization or is DF'd, then returns later, that person is still anointed.

'elders do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.' - it wasn't always that way, that's only recent!
And I wonder if those words are sincere, representing a genuine change, or if they are simply meant to mislead the general public. Even though Watchtower reps say words like that, elders can still have their tricks to discourage it in private, such as saying "you wouldn't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name, would you" - what is said behind closed doors in a Kingdom Hall is often different from what Watchtower and the elders say publicly.
I suppose time will tell but I am doubtful.

These judgments seem to keep getting bigger and bigger. It couldn't be happening to a more deserving organization.
I hope the $40 million holds up, or at least a big chunk of it, on appeal.
self-aware npc has an upload that the ""top-secret"' elders only secret boxes is a drum roll here......a new brochure.....ta dahhhh🤪.
i mean how more dramatic can we get..

hi!i am doing a very long and exhaustive study of the "j" versions, based off the new study edition of the new world translation:https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/appendix-c/divine-name-new-testament-2/.
this list has about 300 sources, mostly bibles, that the jehovah's witnesses have used to "justify" their insertion of "jehovah" into the new testament.i am doing an excel spreadsheet of where to find digitized copies of these j versions and then some notes on them.. they contain some really interesting renderings, some that would make a jehovah's witness's head spin!for example, in j29:the original aramaic new testament in plain english (an american translation of the aramaic new testament), by glenn david bauscher, seventh edition, australia, 2012which you can find here:.
http://buffaloriverforge.com/peshitta/nt%20peshitta%207th%20ed%20plain%20text%20unnoted.pdfin luke 2:11 it says:.
"Jehovah himself was born??"
Nice catch. JWs believe that Jehovah had no beginning.
Plus, saying that Jehovah is the Messiah tends to support the Trinity belief, since Jesus was the Messiah. The problem is that JWs clearly believe that Jehovah and Jesus are two different individuals.
They (the GB) should have left that one off the list of 'J Versions', since it raises a bigger problem than it solves, and as a result tends to shoot them in the foot.
wt 2021 october p.20 "in contrast, true worshippers of jehovah have no clergy.
although we respect those who are taking the lead, we accept jesus’ clear teaching: “all of you are brothers.”".
ijbq article 92 point 6: in contrast, true worshippers of jehovah have no clergy.
"To me it seems the religion wants the luxury of having it both ways."
-and-
"In other words, they do not have a clergy, until it is convenient to have one."
10 thumbs up to LongHairGal and TonusOH. Isn't that the way it always is with Watchtower - they promote whatever idea suits them at any given moment.
I was actually raised in a church that had leaders who wore plain clothes. Not all churches have clergy with the fancy robes and such.

Yes, absolutely, elders are clergy.
JW elders have much more control over the lives of JWs than most clergy have over their flocks.
"...the Witnesses have no paid clergy"
Not all clergy are paid.
Watchtower claims no clergy simply to set themselves apart from other churches, appearing on the surface to be different. It is simply a sales pitch, and a pretty tired one at that.

I take it your primary language is not English, otherwise how could you be so highly educated and speak such terrible English?
I try to avoid the door knocking yes I'm a big chicken in that area!
Lol when I look up Bible scriptures I use a standard King James Bible. Just because it's the most common Bible out there.
You don't sound like a Jehovah's Witness at all.

It's hypocritical of them to demand religious freedom while denying it to others.
This has got to be one of the biggest hypocricies in the world of religion - Watchtower denies its own followers the same freedom of religion that it insists on for itself.
