The Governing Body has NEVER claimed to be inspired

by Alfred in

there was a recent thread here which covered the subject of the gb claiming to be spirit directed (and not actually inspired by the holy spirit).

by now, most of us are quite aware that this is just a play with words to excuse themselves whenever one of their false doctrines is debunked (by someone using the bible or their own publications).

but when you think of it, spirit-directed is actually more presumptuous than spirit-inspired.. that being said, id really like to draw attention to the fact that the wt continuously claims that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has never claimed to be inspired by god (through his holy spirit).

Are There Other JW Sites or EXJW Sites You Enjoy?

also, is there any facebook page about (ex)jws?.

My favorite is http://www.jehovahswitnessrecovery.com

It's more low key and not as many people "bouncing off the wall" as it were.

Hey, if your one of those wall bouncers, take no offence!

jwfacts.com is also a great place for facts.

TRUCE, TRUCE, TRUCE!!

You know, the GB is reading this and smiling while saying "Keep it up boys, anything to prevent you guys from putting the heat on us, is good for business, plus it makes our claim of you guys being mentally deranged"

Think about this guys, what if a newly intersted person was doubting and decided to come here for a looksee, would this help them break away from the WTBTS or send them deeper into the cult seeing what is being argued about here?

At least do it for the kids sake!!

Elders, Ministerial Servants & Pioneers That Should Not Have Been Appointed or Should Not Have Remained In Their Positions

by minimus in

were there a lot of elders, ms's and pioneers that should not have had those titles?.

notjustyet

Thought,..

MAYBE the REAL Holy Spirit IS appointing the Elders and MS cause the HS wants to see the WTBTS fall and this is the best way.

Nahhh, I forgot I do not believe in the Holy Spirit, so that don't work either.

Are We the Only Life in this vast Galaxy?

by frankiespeakin in

.

well i say the same condition for life evolving are relatively repeated over and over again in perhpas billions of solar systems with different combinations of chemical reactions producing all kind of self replicating molecules not just carbon based or dna based.

many stars having a much earlier formation and intelligent life much more before our earth was formed billions of years ago.. .

Kurtbethel,

You said

" At best, we can see about 6000 stars without a telescope, so billions of billions of them would never be visible to us. They were not created for us to enjoy. The Watchtower claim of there being no life elsewhere has no factual basis."

Playing Devils advocate here, why would billions and bilions of them never be visable to us?

Where is the evidence to show that we are not designed to be smart enough to create a telescope that would in turn enable us to see stars that we could not see with our naked eye?

I do not believe in a creator, and as I said "I'm playing Devils advocate here and think that is a valid question a creationist would throw your way regarding that thought you made above.

"Captives of a Concept" and the Governing Bodys New Light

by Cameron_Don in

while waiting for this "new light " about the "faithful and discreet slave"to officially come out, "captives of a concept" already explained that in actual practice, the various terms that have been used to refer to "gods organization" (including "the faithful and discreet slave") refer in fact to just "the men who have been hidden behind those terms" - the men of the governing body.

see chapters 6 and 11. raymond franz figured this out long before the governing body just did.

in his "crisis of conscience" he said.... "whether the governing body members acknowledge it or whether they prefer not to think about it, the fact remains that in the crucial aspects of the authority and teachings they, and they alone, are the organization.

How does the info that came out a few months ago in Australia where a WTBTS attorney answered that there really is not a F&DS class.?

Anyone remember this case and the actual comments made by the attorney?

If what he said is true, then how does this play out with the nu lite?

I could not find out any information about them. They say the words so quick that I do not know how to spell it in the google search.

Is this a new religion? I have not heard about it but it looks interesting.
