  Sure Vanderhoven7

  There is NO scriptural support for a Governing Body in the bible.

  The word NEVER appears - nor is this thought implied.

  The scripture use is:

  Acts 15 Now some men came down from Ju·deʹa and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you get circumcised according to the custom of Moses,+ you cannot be saved.” 2 But after quite a bit of dissension and disputing by Paul and Barʹna·bas with them, it was arranged for Paul, Barʹna·bas, and some of the others to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem+ regarding this issue.*

  Now if there was suposed to be a GB and they would Rule the Roost - why would there not be really specific scriptures dealing with it - say like the levites and priests in the old testament.

  If you as your average JW - they have NO idea that GB does not appear in the bible.

  I think pointing out they can't prove their current beliefs using the bible has more long term value.

  Really, the entire WT org rests on those 3 questions.

  I think you should ask them to answer the following questions from the bible because you know they have the answers.

  1. Please explain Generations using the bible.

  2. Please explain the Governing body using the bible

  3. Please explain why you believe 607 from the bible

  This is better than mentioning anything they would consider apostate and just shut down.

  Building 500 new kingdom halls?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the wtbts has to know they aren't actually going to see their numbers significantly jump anytime soon/ever right?

  are they planning on cutting the rbc down to 1/10th the work force so they can actually slow down their kh projects instead of increasing them?

  or do they think their little website scheme is actually going to bring in more people?.

  This say the can continue to say "we have such a great need for halls we can't keep up."

  Then they can tag whatever crap statement the want to the end of that depending on what's needed.

  45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.

  basically, everything must change.

  we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

  i searched for this here and didn't find any posts about it.

  i just found this while searching for info as i was debating a jw on another site.

  this is the most mind-blowing, spaced-out, insane bunch of mess i've ever heard.

  Now its just disturbing, and very sick.

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  The Big House Forced Exodus

  by ttdtt in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.

  they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.

  I found it sad how they spent 45 min talking about how - "don't worry, you will use you again" - but not one word on how they will pay for food or housing, how they will be able to live outside of bethel?

  Do they think that will appease the hard feelings?

  It will make up for the "come to bethel as your career, this will be your home"

  How can they rationalize that this isn't exactly the scripture that says "keep warm and well fed" ?

  epica- ice cores

  by joey jojo in

  epica- european project for ice coring in antarctica.. kind of old news but fascinating.

  over the last 10 years or so, this organisation has analysed ice core samples taken from antarctica.

  drilling more than 3000 metres into the permafrost, they produced the longest, continuous record of earths climate extending back almost 800 000 years.

  Good one! Again WT just ignores any evidence they don't like.

  By the way - not sure if this is the case in bethel - but Ice Floats. IF there was a "global flood" both Ice caps would have floated away and melted:)
