  so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.

  he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".

  he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

  I don't intend to "sound off" about anything. It's their show.

  LOL @ evilApostate

  Since you go with her to the meetings they may consider you a 'soft' target and one that can be brought back as a publisher which will make both of them look good.

  Maybe, but I am not as soft as they think.

  Nothing good can result from giving them an audience.

  But seriously, what bad can result? I mean, what are they gonna do DF me? For nothing? Go ahead!

  My wife might see what a bunch of BS it all is.

  Why the sudden interest in you do you think?

  Kind of what I am wondering. I think my wife's FS might be down a bit. that's all I can think of.

  Just say "No. We are fine. We'll let you know if we need anything. Thanks."

  I would but I think my wife would be appalled. I haven't told her about the text yet.

  I am inactive (Have been for years) although I go with my wife to the meetings.
  I suppose I could tell the elder no but I would assume that would fly like a lead balloon.
  So, any idea what's in store for me?

  Geoffrey Jackson, Deuteronomy 18:22

  by Spoletta in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not sure if this has been commented on, but while reading a discussion, deuteronomy 18:22 was mentioned.

  i looked it up, and was struck by its connection to a remark made by geoffrey jackson during his arc testimony.

  the gist of the scripture is that if a prophet declares something is from god and it doesn't come true, he is speaking presumptuously, and should not be feared.

  Semantics really....

  While they may not say they are "prophets" , they do say that they are "gods channel" and the only organisation "chosen by God".

  So no matter how they spin it, they claim to speak for god.

  That is no different to a "Prophet"

  True, if you can understand the English language.

  However, the deliberately under-educated rank and file Jay Dub wont understand what the word "Semantics" means, much less that "gods Channel" and "Prophet" are synonymous..

  thursday, december 8. take your stand against him, firm in the faith.—1 pet.

  5:9.. to do that, we need to prepare our mind and heart, to train ourselves now to do what is right.

  we do not know what our spiritual warfare may involve in the future.

  1. "Do I persevere in prayer?"

  Before I left, I prayed to Jehovah to convince me that JW's have the truth and NOTHING happened!

  Same here. Over and OVER. Still I can't get around the crap they serve up.

  Either they are NOT the truth or I am just another goat waiting for judgement day.

  Funny, I don't feel like a goat
