Attention all UK congregations:

The December 15th 2013 Study edition contains a study article which will be used to 'prime' the sheep for fleecing in 2014 - in order to finance the new UK Branch complex.

For those who are prepared to speak up on behalf of their hard pressed brothers and sisters, raise your hand and ask one relevant question before the elders' probable resolution/s - either to send a chunk of your congregation's bank balance to Mill Hill, or for each publisher to 'pledge' as much as they can;

"Can the body of elders explain to the congregation why the new Branch isn't being self- financed by the mi££ions gained from the sale of all the London properties? If not, I'd like to propose that we postpone asking our brothers and sisters for their money until this is clarified."

The elder assigned to do the dirty deed will try to rush the "proposal" through without questions being asked, so you will have to be alert and ready to raise your hand (and perhaps your voice!) very quickly.

It will take courage, but you can do it if you really care about what's taking place!

CHECK OUT THE ART WORK!!

by The Searcher in

in the watchtower december 15th 2013.. .

why did the artist only include seven apostles at the last supper?

does he know the truth that 12 were there, (luke 22:17-23) so he didn't want to 'hang' himself by drawing 12 drinking the wine?

In the Watchtower December 15th 2013.

Why did the artist only include seven apostles at the last supper? (p.24)

Does he know the truth that 12 were there, (Luke 22:17-23) so he didn't want to 'hang' himself by drawing 12 drinking the wine?

Interesting omission of the 'rest of the participants' on that night. So much for accuracy in the art-work!!! Of course, the GB maintain in the Insight book (under JUDAS) that Luke got his spirit-inspired direction wrong, and was mistaken in what he wrote! Come on Witnesses, lift the veil and see what's going on!!

People, it really is this simple

by Trevor Scott in

what will guide us in choosing the right religion?

the encyclopdia universalis is correct when it highlights the importance of truth.

a religion that teaches lies cannot be true.

The Searcher

Many thanks Trevor for such simple, yet damning evidence out of their own mouths.

You can also add - "The anointed followers of Christ have been extending the invitation since as far back as 1918. In that year, the public talk entitled “Millions Now Living May Never Die”. ( w10 2/15 pp. 15-16 par. 8 )

What About the Resurrection? The JUST and the UNJUST?

by Cold Steel in

the scriptures speak about the resurrection of both the just and the unjust.

all will be resurrected.

paul teaches that although all will be resurrected, not all will be resurrected to the same glory.

The Searcher

Paul wrote about figurativedeath through repentance, and then resurrectionthrough baptisminto Christ at Romans chapter 6. (verse 2 highlights this fact)

This basic Bible truth is perverted by the Org to mean a literal dying. The context of verses 1-11 shows this teaching to be a blasphemy.

Anyone still in; any speculation on 2014 Memorial being significant?

by mrquik in

jw

The Searcher

Can't you wait until the Annual Meeting in 3 week's time? If there are any 'new lights' on the event, the Masters of Your Faith will make a global announcement about it then, for maximum impact.

All of a sudden, the Annual Meeting has become the focus of attention for 8 million - not the boring old Memorial which never changes and basically has nothing to do with us earthly-hopers!

After the debacle last year when so few were "privileged" to hear all the REVERSALS of doctrines firsthand, the GB & their advisors have turned a PR disaster into a real coup, by capitalising on the masses wanting to share in the audience with the so-called FDS. It's surprising that it took so long for them to imitate the Pope's audiences in St. Peter's square. The financial benefits triggered will be considerable - all those previously uncalled - for donations flooding the coffers of assembly halls and other location on this new annual event!

Be patient!! All will be revealed.

I shall have visitors next week. Any recommendations?

by Mr Fool in

like the title said, i shall have visitors (jw young men) next week.. i don t want to scare them away right away, i wish them to have a wake up call.

so what do you suggest?.

shall i inplant one or two questions the first meting, or not?.

The Searcher

Ask them if they believe that everything the Governing Body teaches in their literature is Bible-based truth. They will have to say 'yes'.

Then ask them to explain to you what the "new scrolls" are - from the Bible!!

They should open their Bibles at Revelation 20:12. When they do, point out the 3 glaring "untruths" presented in this spurious teaching, invented by some "company" man.

Then ask them why they believe in something they've clearly never studied in the Bible - just been told to believe it's in there!

See the following discussion.

RED ALERT FOR JULY 15TH STUDY on SUNDAY!

by The Searcher in

in the very first paragraph, matthew 13:38 is to be read - "the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one..".

jesus speaks of only two groups, so if you accept the wtbts "anointed" doctrine, then if you haven't got the "heavenly hope", then you've got no hope!.

simply put, there aren't any 'other sheep' members of jesus' "one flock" mentioned, unless of course theyare also "sons of the kingdom", but of course, that would be ridiculous!!.

The Searcher

Apologies for a mistake which I made earlier - the Bethelite in charge of Public Information at London Branch is PAUL Gillies, not Jim as I erroneously named him. Confused him with another individual.

I spoke to him on the 'phone (anonymously - I wouldn't tell him I was a Witness!!) a while back, when I called to ask how attending OSCE get-togethers could be justified by the Witnesses.

The man wriggled and squirmed like a politician, using double-speak to avoid saying 'Yes' to my questions.

I recorded it for future reference for fellow Witnesses - in case they disbelieve the involvement.

Interesting to see his career success - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/218141/1/The-rise-and-rise-of-Paul-Gillies

The Kingdom Interlinear makes a mockery of the teaching of the 144,000 ruling as kings in heaven.

Here is how it's translated from the Greek:

"And you made them to the God of us kingdom and priests, and they are reigning upon the earth." (Revelation 5:10) Where will they be 'reigning'? Upon the earth! What will they be reigning as? They will not be kings, they will be princes!! (Psalm 45:17) Isaiah 32:1 says, "Look! A king (not 'kings') will rule for righteousness itself; and as respects princes, they will rule as princes for justice itself." I've never seen "144,000 thrones" quoted in Scripture - 12, yes!

DATA-DOG - You said,

"A huge "angel of light" factor in my opinion, will be that having all the flock partake will give them what every JW is missing. That is a feeling of closeness with Jesus. That could be the spiritual security blanket that seals the deal, so to speak."

My feelings exactly! What better way to make the 8 million really feel closer to "Mother" and Christ, by being part of the worldwide communal meal of our Redeemer.

"Mother" has been consolidating the 'business' and the finances - it's now time to do the same with the geese who lay the golden eggs - the publishers!
