  If all GB members died at once?

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

  in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

  let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

  Silent Buddah,

  That is a sad story. Was your friend DF'd, active JW, fading JW ?
  
  Can you tell us a little about where he was at regarding the organization?

  Why is there a large cat in this picture?

  by slimboyfat in

  2. bible

  i wonder if anyone can explain this.

  ezekiel 34:25 says .

  and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?

  Am I the only one who sees the legs coming out of an opening in the ground beneath her?
  
  I also see a half face to the left of the tree.... wearing sunglasses.
  
  This looks very occultic.

  It looks like the WT artist went to a lot of trouble to try and conceal the panther, especially with the green spots that match the background. I had to really look for the cat.... wasn't immediately discernible.
  
  I can't imagine something like that appearing in a Christian journal... like Prophecy Watchers, Christianity Today or Creation magazine.

  Caption reads:

  "No danger will threaten your peace. You will be able to walk alone into the deepest forest, enjoying its majestic beauty, even sleeping there in perfect safety, sure to wake up rested and unharmed" !

  The watchtower is mocking JW members in my opinion. They want people to go to sleep - either while alive or dead. The message is pretty clear: Just trust them and you are guaranteed to wake up rested and unharmed. But Jesus said that the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell after he died.

  Very creepy & deceptive.

  It's VERY DIFFICULT for some JWs to accept the Truth-------But for other not so much------WHY?

  what is it about some jws that they can't see the flip-flops of the wt's changing doctrine?.

  some of the flip-flops involved the death of many of it's members, and it was not even biblical based.

  yet for some reason they can't seem to grasp the significance of the matter.

  It was a creepy voice....very subtle like a snake.

  " A young person is not usually bad unless he's been molded that way by his environment".

  This is the trap that he sets - us vs. them.

  Of course the bible says the opposite, identifying the problem on the inside, not the outside.

  Romans 8:7-8

  because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

  That is why Jesus 3 times told Nicodemus that a person must be born again.
