  Do elders have to stop after a certain age?

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know from friends who are pimi that circuit overseers are taken off when they hit age 70. since most of them are long serving men it might explain why they are pushing mid-20 year old lads into the circuit work.. are there any similar age restrictions on congregation elders?

  because we've known some doddery old men in the past who shouldn't have been kept on as presiding overseers but refused to relinquish their role.

  does anyone know?.

  Not only the ORG who perverts Scriptures!

  john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.".

  certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.

  aqwsed12345,

  Yawn.

  I think you need to head over to the Roman Catholic Church Discussion forum because most pomo jws here have no time for organised religion like the RCC, or for people that just copy and paste lengthy articles from unknown sources that are so long that nobody bothers reading them to the end.

  God, one person, or three?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.

  niv.

  gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.

  Am I right to assume that the person arguing for acceptance of belief that Jesus was and is God also accepts therefore that Mary was the Mother of God?

  Not arguing, just asking.

  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  by Ron.W. in

  2. beliefs

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  what’s keeping them?

  this has got to be the latest it’s ever been.

  maybe it’s the last one they’ll ever publish too, after dropping reporting hours for publishers ….

  Drearyweather,

  Thank-you. I assumed it was a new thing because that's where it appears on their JW org page under the "what's new" heading. See screenshot below:
