Jehovah is King! New Light or muck up in 15/01/14 WT?

by wizzstick in

so the new jan wt article on "100 years of kingdom rulehow does it affect you?

" is up, which i think has its own thread.

but over on jwr poster cg4205 has noticed something that demands a seperate thread i think.. at the top of the article, in the can you answer box, it says:.

Jan 2014 WT study - more vomit

by EndofMysteries in

articles such at "100 years of kingdom rule" in which jehovah has 'in a sense' begun ruling as king, and jesus in a sense was made king.

even though the kingdom hasn't actually come.

it's not clear if the 1,000 year reign has began or not, if so only 900 years left of jesus rule?

Here's what they do:

They take their lies, mistakes or gaffes and turn them into "new" features.

For example, for sixty-something years, the NWT totally mistranslated John 17:3. With the NNWT, it's been re-retranslated to more accurately reflect the original meaning, just like all of "christendom's" bibles have been translating it for centuries!

And yet, this is a "new" feature.

Same with the time period between 1914-2014. A hundred years of nothing isn't the largest body of disconfirming evidence ever - it's a 100 year anniversary!

135th Gilead Class video

by zound in

whoah this video is so sad and cultlike - the most uncomfortable 6 minutes i've sat through for awhile.

the gb have seemingly pulled the rug from beneath the gillead missionaries and assigned them internally to bolster the organisation.

closing the ranks.. .

That was weird.

In general, the people on this forum have a poor outlook spiritually speaking.

if you remember, syria was hunting god's prophet, elisha.

I think STFU has hit the nail on the head here, to be perfectly honest. .. .

NO! I do not see imaginary chariots like Elisha did! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Great OP.

sigh... all those jw's hammering and bragging about the nr1 and nr2 position and attacking people that disagree... they are so loving .

Pretty funny. The Witness Worldview is certainly a fascinating one.

Really though, the claim that they are " most popular" is certainly false. Most circulated, sure.

Only thing needed to beat them in "popularity" is print 50M magazines.

"Just like if I want information about a car I'm considering whether or not to purchase, I'll check out the manufacturer's website and promotional literature."

Shit! I actually did just buy a brand new car, and I never once looked at the manufacturer's website or promotional literature.

I read some reviews online (which were all pretty positive.)

Oh well.

PS: truecar.com is helpful for finding a good price as well.

by lambsbottom in

mormon.org/discoverfollow the prophetwe follow the prophet because the prophet follows god.

listening to what the prophets teach will bring us peace and guide us to heaven.. .

have you ever heard one person tell one side of a story, then heard another person tell the opposite side, and both versions sound true?

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?

by Oubliette in

i've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.

why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.

others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

"Have you ever seen what happens when an elder or ministerial servant gets appointed? They usually get slammed with privileges. Accounts, sound, literature, territory, assisting older friends, moving people, parts, etc.."

I know you don't want to hear this, but I think STFU got this one right: this is the new kid on the block and they want to "use" him for as many "privileges" as possible. I think that's what the visibility is all about.

I have heard Sanderson speak on multiple occasions and he's never struck me as any more or less smug/jerk-offish than the others - which isn't saying much.
