on a previous thread watchtower articles were provided that showed the 'meek' were the 144k rather than those who are supposed to live on the earth after the alleged big 'a'.. in that thread the troll 'concernedjw' stated that the wtb$ had changed their thinking on this (no surprises there), to now mean 'earthly hope' dudes.. does anyone have the references from the litter-trash for this or was cjw wrong?.
I found the 06 article funny it ends by saying "Countless millions of meek ones “inherit the earth” in the sense that they benefit from the rule of this Kingdom by Jesus Christ and his corulers."
I could be wrong but that sentence smacks of going beyond what is written?

*** w06 8/15 p. 6 “As in Heaven, Also Upon Earth” ***
Once resurrected to heaven, Jesus would become the King of the Kingdom. Primarily, he is the meek one who inherits the earth together with selected faithful ones who are resurrected to heaven to become corulers in this Kingdom. (Psalm 2:6-9) In time, this government will take earth’s affairs in hand in order to accomplish God’s original purpose and transform the earth into a paradise. Countless millions of meek ones “inherit the earth” in the sense that they benefit from the rule of this Kingdom by Jesus Christ and his corulers.—Genesis 3:15; Daniel 2:44; Acts 2:32, 33; Revelation 20:5, 6.
*** w09 2/15 p. 7 par. 9 How Jesus’ Sayings Promote Happiness ***
9 Why are the mild-tempered ones happy? Because “they will inherit the earth,” said mild-tempered Jesus. He is the principal Inheritor of the earth. (Ps. 2:8; Matt. 11:29; Heb. 2:8, 9) However, mild-tempered “joint heirs with Christ” share in his inheritance of the earth. (Rom. 8:16, 17) In the earthly realm of Jesus’ Kingdom, many other meek ones will enjoy everlasting life.—Ps. 37:10, 11.
just a few weeks back my wife and i attended the wedding ceremony of the child of a couple with which we associated in the past.
he and i worked together in the same industrial complex and shared a common interest in antique cars.
i liked the older british sports cars and he liked american steel.
I don't have enough time behind me. I just escaped the JW Matrix. I will say if the past week 2 weeks is an indication of what our relationship will be like even with him still it is far from a marriage of convinience. It was starting to feel like our marriage was that way as a JW but now that I'm free things are so much better. As a JW I internalized a lot but now we're so open. We've really been talking to each other and very affectionate. The only thing we can't share is our worship of God and our friends. I hope for the friend part to change. I need to form friendships with people who have no JW connection and then we can share them.
It has only been two weeks so with the passage of time I hope for one of two things. A)We continue this way or B) he takes the red pill (wakes up from JW).
that's what the watchtower wants out of you!
your confidence in yourself.. one can be confident about one's profession, or what have you, and still lack ultimate confidence in one's self.. fairly recently i had a personal revelation and felt a connection with something greater than me.
as i headed out my driveway, after the morning it happened, to work i felt an overwhelming urge to call an elder in my old congregation.
My parents (non JW) started eroding mine from very young. Since my teachers said I was very smart my parents wouldn't let me live a mistake down. When I started studying with JW's @ 16 I started to gain my confidence back. I became a witness powerhouse and that was building me up. Then I started having health problems in my 20's which put a dent in my service, so my confidence started to erode again. With that I allowed others opinions to seep in and erode my confidence even further. I was actually told by a few people I'm too happy, I should tone it down. Or the ones who said I should be doing this or that. I let them get in my head and their voices became my voice thus a vicious self defeating spiral downward.
This spring was a rebirth for me. Learning the truth about "the truth" set off a spark that set my confidence ablaze.
i was told this is the new arrangement re recordings made known only to the boe.
can someone confirm this?.
one congregation cd is made of meetings, assemblies & dc to pass on to publishers who want to hear it.
Thanks for the confirmation
If I'd known this I would have recorded the Conv I suffered through.
Any who still attend these torture sessions should record them so they can continue to be posted.
i saw the matrix for the 1st time last night.
awesome!!!.
it made me relfect on the past month.
I'm a purist and I regret the Star Wars prequels (I kept watching hoping they'd improve.) I'll stop with the first Matrix.

I remember the article about recordings we make for our personal use KM 4/10.
I was told this is an addition to that and it was made known to the elders & servants in a letter.
At assemblies & conv. every cong can pick up an offcial cd made by the sound dept. This is to be distrubuted in the manner I outlined above. Same with local talks each cong can make one official cd. They are not to be kept indefinately they are to be destroyed later
A ms & elders wife told me & my husband won't say since I'm no longer a JW

Shawshank is our favorite movie. Watched it when Bethel first got cable. Too bad we didn't make the connection then.
If I can get my hands on an edited version maybe Richard might get it this time. I do have the Truman Show maybe that might work.
