Analysis of anti-607 BCE Rebuttals

by Ethos in

i agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.

i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.

therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

I dug deeper into the teachings of my Mormon faith . . and became JW

by bats in the belfry in

and also consulted with responsible mormon church leaders.

i was told that the answers to my questions involved mysteries that one day would be solved as the light became brighter.

(february 1, 2013, page 9).

Remember hearing about that guy in Hiroshima when the bomb hit, he then left and went to Nagasaki a day or so later, and it was bombed also.

This reminded me of that guy.

hi, brothers and friends!.

would make me happy if you say a prayer or wish me good luck!.

been an exciting day, training with you guys before the rumble in the jungle tomorrow!.

Wow,

That's amazing!

So did you agree to follow their "con sell" about not forwarding talks.

And why would anyone say that audio recordings are for personal use, would they not want to let their "light shine" for all to hear, metaphorically speaking. ( I know you can't hear light)

If not, did the term "brazen conduct" come into play?

WT elders school: The elders in our circuit appear to be "trained" quite well

more ramblings from the recently concluded elders' school.. see the op on this thread for background: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/242491/5/wt-elders-school-the-wts-has-progressed-from-just-plain-stupid-to-dangerously-stupid.

in part of the video mentioned above showing the "goofus" elder trying to handle the situation with the crying sister:.

the "goofus" elder went into the kingdom hall library alone with the sister when she left the auditorium.. you could hear literal, audible, gasps from the 100 or so elders watching the video.. a few moments later, as the sister was crying, "goofus" put out his hand and touched the sister's hand.. again, literal, loud, audible gasps from the audience.. they darkened the room while the video was playing so i couldn't see him, but i have to imagine the co was quite pleased that the audience grasped the "mistakes" that elder goofus was making.. .

Here is a video that shows how to hide a camera in a tie, the person, once an elder did this at his JC , hell, it's Raypublisher, you all know him here lol

Unfortunately he will not be attending this meeting to be able to get the video. lol

The Turkey and Stuffing were on sale at the store . . .. (Happy Thanksgiving)

by skeeter1 in

jw
friends

remember when we used to have thanksgiving, under the guise of "the turkey was on sale...."?

this year, i'm going to dress up as a pilgrim.

what are you doing for thanksgiving?.

notjustyet

Oh, how I wish some of my uber JW friends would send me a pic of them eating this meal, always on Thanks Giving day with their entire family, cause Jehovah says that when you find a wife, who can find a deal on frozen turkey, you have found a good thing.

I guess I was a purist in this area as I did not think that under any circumstances that we should eat this meal on that day and probably within a month of that DAY for any reason as it could stumble others. I was like "What are we trying to do here people!!"

Now I just hope that the turkey is not dried out too much.

Hint, cook your turkey with the breast down to keep it moist. (God please don't strike me dead for saying that)

Also, I bet that there are Jw moms everywhere telling their kids "If there ever was a day that you should chew your food thoroughly, it would be today as mommy and daddy don't want to explain to the elders that JR died choking on a piece of turkey on thanksgiving day."

Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?

by metatron in

jw
friends

i've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.

changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!

after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

Remember when we were told that "If the Goverment attacks Gods true organization you will need to form smaller groups and meet in peoples houses to keep the preaching work eveen under ban as there is a time when Jehovahs people will be separated and spread out possibly unable to recieve directions from his chosen F&DS" Paraphrasing quie a bit here but i'm sure you get the point, we might not be here for you and you will have to learn now how to subsist on your own.

Could this be used to show what is in their future, not that they thought of this in advance as I do not think that they ever thought that they would be in this position financially having to sell off branches etc. It could play right into their hand though and this kinda reminds me of the last part of the movie" The Sting" with Robert Redford where they made off with the "marks" money without him even knowing that they were still alive and had taken advantage of him.

I don't think that this is all planned out in advance, just a way to distract the rank and file while making them think that it is what was "prophet-seized" in advance.

Governing body member engaged... Again!

by OneDayillBeFree in

just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.

it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.

what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!

I mean if something gets "weird" what she gonna do, go to the elders?

Is a camera considered a recording device in a jc?

by solomon in

jw
friends

take lots of pictures of the elders on the judicial committee..

notjustyet

I would say so, it records video and audio.

So yes it is .

I always thought that if I even went there I would just have a transmitter that would link up wirelessly with a recorder into my car outside. This way I would not be lieing when they asked me if I have a recording device on.

There is a video series on youtube under user jwstruggle that shows how he recorded his JC using an ipone placed into a tie. I would suggest if anyone does this to remove any large amounts of music and or existing videos so that you will have plenty more storage for recording.

WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway

by sir82 in

jw
friends

more haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.

tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.

the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

You know how people would go into a movie theatre and record the movie and then show it at hope. Never did this just heard about it.

Well, Someone needs to start thinking along these lines if we ever want to get a copy of it to show.

Is there not some way?

Cue the Mission Impossible music,...

Someone has got to get this, for the sake of humanity!!

Birthday coming up within the next year,...

by notjustyet in

(that "within the next year" was to throw off anyone trying to figure out who i am).

and i was thinking about a cake for me,... do you think it would be wrong to have one made in the shape of,...."john the baptist head"?.

i was thinking of having it on a large platter we have here in the house.

Do you think it would be wrong to have one made in the shape of,...."John the Baptist head"?

I was thinking of having it on a large platter we have here in the house. If I do this would putting pictures of it online offend anyone?
Has anyone done this before? lol

Im just funning as I would not be able to pull this off, but just wanted to be first to throw it out there.

Edit, Found a place that has already done this.

A family studying Matthew decided to pull this off.

Here is another one, and it is a church doing it. Are these people crazy?
