I'm not into conspiracy theories, but Google FEMA clergy response team. Would WT. throw the R&F under the bus to save it's own skin

by nowwhat? in

correct me if i'm wrong but about the same time this was activated was when the wt.

came out with the "we may receive instructions that may not seem practical from a human standpoint".

and it has been emphasized greatly regarding covid measures that "we must obey the superior authorities".

Not necessary to go to the FEMA camp as you mentioned, but for example, ACTIVELY cooperate with the UN and the "beast" in regards of PEACE & SECURITY matters, so not to be bothered by them for a while....

&.

PS : FEMA camps exists and so the FEMA special coffins, but it was made in case of huge catastrophic event, earthquakes etc...There s no proof that was made in any other purpose (not a concentration camp purpose).

See : Watchtower and UN involvement in the past, actively present in UN discussion group with religions, etc....

Disfellowshipped for NOT activating my camera on ZOOM meeting

by Aleph in

hey so i won't go too much into the details though there would be so much more to say....in a nutshell, you are repentant but not enough so we disfellowship you ....i asked, can you clarified this "not enough repentant" please ?as one of the reason of not being repentant : " you didn't put on your camera during zoom meetings !!!

" they yelled at me, like a bunch of wolves against a sheep....so :.

- no scriptural basis.- abuse of power.- my phone can't handle to have its camera on more than 20 minutes.then they yelled " jehovah does want you in the congregation" !like you are not welcome here....strangely to me, isaiah 1:18 and the story of the prodigal son tells a complete different story....well the whole bible is about love forgiveness and repentance !!

Yes i was df for fornication but since i had not my camera on it was a "proof" i wasn't repentant.
Thank you for putting things correctly.

BRANCH OVERSEER : "Apostates are GOOD people !"

by Aleph in

this is quite incredible.during his talk, the branch overseer, made a special talk dedicated to the apostates.. he clearly emphasis his point, "apostates used to be between us, really you can talk with apostates, those people are good, of course their point of vue is different than ours now but they are mostly very nice poeple, and you shouldn't be afraid to talk with them.

"though as usual, the reaction of the brothers was quite the same, impassive, i was very surprise by this statement.i cannot assume if this is just a one man step ahead towards the apostates, or really a change in their policies, this came from the mouth of a branch overseer.of course, for obvious reason, i won't give the name of the brother, which is famous, but only here in an central european country.i would have expected him to quote more scriptures, but he didn't, he could have use the one for jesus himself :"you should love your enemies", as apostates were really the "enemies" for the wtbs for such a long time, maybe now that the king of the north is awaken, apostates are not so bad after all ?

just wondering....

Aleph

This Org is worst than big Bro, sorry if i did say the minimum about that, but it s the truth.
I wished i had it recorded, but i didn't see this coming...

But yes, on a certain picture from all the Branches oversees in Warwick, you would see him.
The man is not a bad man, he s just a company man,he expressed his personal opinion, nothing official, I m afraid.

Of course, he is too high to be bothered, yes I should send him some whisky.

My thoughts over "this Generation" as a Jew would understand it

by Aleph in

i saw the video over the word "generation" and how you david s explained it.one thing for sure, is david doesn't understands at all how hebrews sees and understands things.let me explain...middle asians from antiquities, and hebrews saw things, in a complete different way than europeans are perceiving times and events!we, as modern europeans, we see the future in front of us, past in our back, right ?....

for the jews it s the contrary.how come ?well, for a jew they think past is in front of them because they can see it.future is in their back, as they can't see it.same thing for a generation.generation are seen from the perspective of the people who lived but died until a certain point, not the contrary as europeans sees the generation from a date of birth.

now really you can have a complete understanding of this when the bible says :" the date of death worth more than the date of birth"....again, you can judge not from how a person was born, but from what he had done in his life, same will apply for a generation.also as the wt stated well that the things described by the "sign" of the parousia were chronological, and happening in a certain order, the verse that talks about the genea is located not directly in reference of the parousia, but in the text referring to the great tribulation.

One thing for sure, is David doesn't understands at all how Hebrews sees and understands things.
Let me explain...
Middle Asians from antiquities, and Hebrews saw things, in a complete different way than Europeans are perceiving times and events!
We, as modern Europeans, we see the future in front of us, past in our back, right ?
.... for the Jews it s the contrary.
How come ?
Well, for a Jew they think past is in front of them because they can see it.
Future is in their back, as they can't see it.
Same thing for a generation.
Generation are seen from the perspective of the people who lived but died until a certain point, not the contrary as Europeans sees the generation from a date of birth.
Now really you can have a complete understanding of this when the Bible says :" the date of death worth more than the date of birth"....
Again, you can judge not from how a person was born, but from what he had done in his life, same will apply for a generation.
Also as the wt stated well that the things described by the "sign" of the parousia were chronological, and happening in a certain order, the verse that talks about the genea is located not directly in reference of the parousia, but in the text referring to the great tribulation. If you would have kept the same logic then it means those who will lived the great tribulation, will have known and understood what the sign was really about, and how intense things would become, as posteriori by living and experiencing this, just as a normal Hebrew could see and understand the things to come from what he will actually live.
As a matter of fact, 1st Christians who escaped and survived the events that took place in the 1st century and who would have believed in Jesus, would have a full understanding of it, by living it, just as you can taste a fruit, the fig by eating it, not by noticing it just suddenly appeared on the fig tree.
"By their fruits, you will recognize them", same simple thought here from Jesus, any child can understand that.

It s the same view from the Spirit has when He guided David to wrote :

“Sit at my right hand

Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”

Even in Gen 1:1, this is not an human thing to start a story by telling the ends.. .
The perspective of the spirit, is not from JUST from its beginning when there was nothing, but by its plain fulfillment, like a cameraman filming the panorama of the whole CREATION, not only in the 1st day but as a whole in time also in space, with a focus on the results of all the beautiful creations from Elohim (The Great Creator) with the divine plan to accomplish the works of His hands, the physical Heavens with a special purpose towards the earth... who could weight how much efforts and energy was put in there just to accomplish this purpose of this very verse, if so much energy for the final touch of his finger, the humans. Now weight the love of God.

When the pedophile is welcomed back while fornicators aren't

by Aleph in

i remember growing up in the truth in the 70s, then the 80s, i was quite young, full of hope, dreams and beliefs that it was a wonderful organization of jehovah's witnesses....soon we would discover the world is not sun shines and rainbows in the jws...for my brother, david, it was more or less the same, he was full of zeal pioneering.then one day, the truth exploded, the teacher much older than my bro, was unmasked, the circus began...elders came rushing in, things went swiftly, only one way, the abuser used the bible to justify sexual intercourse with my brother while he was only 14...and things lasted for many months....my brother left the truth, but the pedophile though disfellowshipped was welcomed back in less than 2 months !all the scandal was hidden, no one came back to bring any help to my brother, they simply ignore him like he was the one responsible of all, no comfort, no care, this is like this.i don't know why i m still in... somehow, i think i have enough, not because i have heard too much, but because i have seen with my own eyes, all the things that they do inside, the manipulation, the pressure... bible is pure, but this... this has nothing to do with the teaching of jesus.

they pretend they are pure and white, but really, they are just men, doing bad like anywhere else.

the worst part, they don't take care of the ones suffering, and they only makes things worse with their stupid policies..

Soon we would discover the world is not sun shines and rainbows in the JWs...
For my brother, David, it was more or less the same, he was full of zeal pioneering.
Then one day, the truth exploded, the teacher much older than my bro, was unmasked, the circus began...
Elders came rushing in, things went swiftly, only one way, the abuser used the Bible to justify sexual intercourse with my brother while he was only 14...and things lasted for many months....
My Brother left the truth, but the pedophile though disfellowshipped was welcomed back in less than 2 months !
All the scandal was hidden, no one came back to bring any help to my brother, they simply ignore him like he was the one responsible of all, no comfort, no care, this is like this.
I don't know why i m still in... somehow, I think i have enough, not because i have heard too much, but because i have seen with my own eyes, all the things that they do inside, the manipulation, the pressure...

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914

by blondie in

jw
friends

doesn't that throw off the date?.

*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

Aleph

Actually is right with a wrong explanation, let me explain, then feel free to comment.

Jewish calendar is not lunar but It is both lunar and solar as Gen 1:14 states :

Then God said: “Let there be luminaries*+ in the expanse of the heavens to make a division between the day and the night,+ and they will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years.

They(jews) counted 360 days a year but adding the extra month as explained in blondie's comment above.

Please take note in this verse that the sun and the moon serve not only as to determine the days, and years, but also seasons and signs.
This prophecy (the 2520 years) is highly important, you can accept or refuse its explanations.
Please consider too the "day of Jehovah", which is related also to "time" and "seasons" 2 Thess 5: 1 3.

Now as for the times and the seasons, brothers, you need nothing to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that Jehovah’s* day+ is coming exactly as a thief in the night.+ 3 Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them,+ just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.

If you are sincere with bible text consider attentively each word, as highly important.
Nobody knows the date or the hour, but from revelation verse we know it won't surprise the anointed.
Don't serve men, or for a date, but Jehovah for He deserve the adoration as our Grand Creator.
Last thing, Jw are not inspired but guided, meaning they made mistakes, and still do, so be sincere, and go back always to check what Bible tells. In my humble opinion they tell the truth, they could be wrong and fell 7 times, we need to forgive them.... we are all humans, we all do mistakes.
