"2012 D/A Insight 3" "WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY WHEN ELDERS ACCUSE YOU OF WICKED CONDUCT" Example Used Hannah!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

think about this tasty thought i learned today, i am using my own examples.

ponder please, the example they used as being the "annointed appointed of jehovah", that's the irony of the example the slave used.. .

after three months of missing meetings you decide to get your clothes together, you get dressed and leave for the kingdom hall.

Think about this tasty thought I learned Today, I am using my own examples. Ponder please, the example they used as being the "annointed appointed of Jehovah", that's the irony of the example the Slave used.

After three months of missing meetings you decide to get your clothes together, you get dressed and leave for the Kingdom Hall. You are anxious and do not want to hear anyone's stupid remarks, you want a shot of upbuilding Bible truths and can't wait to leave. You find your spot close to a "Emergency Exit", open you book-bag, and sit with your eyes to the ground.

"Concerned Carl" (the elder) walks up and the first thing that roll's off his tongue is, "hey Joe, where is your tie? You know better than that!" you retort, "Oh, I must have forgotten, you know it's the first meeting in three months I have been to?" "Concerned Carl" replies " I noticed you have not been here, what's your problem? The "End" is so close, you don't want to get swept away like all those demons in Noah's day!" you reply, "If you were so concerned how come you never called, I thought Book Study overseers cared!" "Concerned Carl"digs in deeper "Well really, you never have been that strong of a publisher, I have my hands full with our giant Kingdom Hall."

A sister is accused of commiting adultry and brought before a judical committee, "Angry Art" tells sister "Accused" it's because you wear those tight dresses that are not modest, you know better than that!" After the dust settles, one outside elder proves "Sister Accused" did not committe adultry, it was wicked chatter from a fiendish elder's wife that started this whole debacle. What lesson can we learn from these two examples of elders treating you like Shit?

Jehovah's Witnesses that have been spoken to harshly, or accused of wicked conduct by the elders (Elys), need to follow the example of Hannah's conduct! When Hannah was accused by Ely(modern day elders) for being a drunk, what did Hannah do?

Instead of rebuking Ely, Hannah knew Ely was the annointed priest from Jehovah! (modern day elders). Elders are not perfect, they will at times speak harshly on matters they have incomplete or incorrect information. Some elders might say wicked things to you or your family, they might accuse you of evil conduct, but you must realize they are just like Ely "Jehovah's annointed, appointed spirit directed men" which demands you respect them, even if they are wrong!

" Hannah's Prayer for a Son 1 Samuel 1 NLT

9 Once after a sacrificial meal at Shiloh, Hannah got up and went to pray. Eli the priest was sitting at his customary place beside the entrance of the Tabernacle.[d] 10 Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. 11 And she made this vow: "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.[e]"

12 As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her. 13 Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking. 14 "Must you come here drunk?" he demanded. "Throw away your wine!"

15 "Oh no, sir!" she replied. "I haven't been drinking wine or anything stronger. But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord. 16 Don't think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow."

17 "In that case," Eli said, "go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked of him."

18 "Oh, thank you, sir!" she"

Respect your local Elys, Hopni's and Phineas!

District Convention Points Saturday 21-07-2012 New Light? Governing Body Is Our Mother?

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?

the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.

jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.

Bubblegum Apotheosis

Who was Pastor Russell in this scheme of things, he was a male and was believed to be the "faithful slave" spoken of by Jesus. What striked me odd about this matter, is I was under the impression the "annoited Christ's Bride" was part of the spiritual Woman spoken of in Revelation.

The speaker's emphasis was on (Jehovah's Visible Earthly Organization that brought us spiritual milk as babies, now providing spiritual T-bone Steaks and Potatoes) the Governing Body who are annointed by the WTS, (annointed oil horn) all other annointed are considered "mentally" unless proven otherwise.

The language used by the speakers and the outlines are "slight of the hands", my next topic on Hannah is another hocus pokus parlor trick.

sacramento elder caught!

by the mole in

***the mole*** a sacramento elder caught.

he steps down his position this last thursday.

it has come to our attention of a coverup that the brother in one of our kingdom halls this last week had stepped down for sleeping with another woman.

Bubblegum Apotheosis

The sin of Balaam strikes again! We lost a big player in the Ventura County area. Brother "Haraam" (arabic: word for bad sins against God) was destined for great things (maybe the top?) until it was discovered he had a harem of lonely single and married sisters. How the Circuit took this on the chins in VC, "he was such a good speaker, he seemed so kind" (don't they always?)?

did u know any jw self-made millionaires? any multi-millionaires?? how would u know???

jw
friends

and what do you make of the overall social structures within the org?

and not just in the usa............................oompa.

it is not a caste system...you can move up the ranks.

Bubblegum Apotheosis

Exjw, there is a dub who invented electronic-computer gadgets, think US Robotics, Seagate, Network Appliance brainiac. The very rich witnesses have learned to keep their mouth shut, and avoid ostenstation demonstrations of their wealth.

A fact of life, there are many posers who pretend to be wealthy in the congregation, a missed montly pay check and they are heading for BK. I wonder if there is a correlation between COBEs and filing bankruptcy?

I think we are being shunned

by hoser in

jw
friends

it seems like lately we have been missing out on a lot of invites to congregation gatherings and our field service group has gatherings but we never seem to get invited.

btw this is not a bad thing.

hoser.

Bubblegum Apotheosis

This means you were not shunned at one time, think of all the poor saps who attend meetings and field service for years. They were never invited to gatherings of the "righteous ones", poor friends had no spiritual rechargers to attach themselves to.

Ok now, If you want to avoid being shunned, learn a trade like plumbing, electrical, computer repair, finish carpentry, or small engine-appliance repairs. You might not get invited to a meal, but you are sure to get plenty of phone calls asking for free help!

"Jehovah's organization provides the best education..."

by Gothicus in

jw
friends

doesn't it just irritate you to the highest degree when someone makes a remark as stupid as this?

since when did "jehovah's education" ever taught you anything significant other than to be a tool and a slave for the wtb$?.

Bubblegum Apotheosis

I wish they would guard the words they use, it was apparent this education is not helping in the field ministry. Witnesses are not comfortable engaging in basic door stoppers, propaganda worked well before we could check things on the internet!

District Point 2 "People are phoning it in!" Slacking In The Ministry.

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

there is something strange about this convention, the usual bombardment to hit the doors has not been talked about.

one of the points the speaker made, is people are not taking the ministry to the next level.

here are a few examples of the slackers, strangely i asked blondie about this in a recent thread.. i studied and learned from the same books, blondie mentioned "babylon the great has fallen", extra books "the two babylons", our brothers and sisters are losing their attention span.

"Witnesses are not trying to overcome householder objections, they are more than happy to walk off with a defense."

"People are phoning it in, almost a autopilot, stasis, or stand-by mode" We are losing our skill set in field service, new and old are not able to overcome basic householder objections, our dubs don't want to debate, how can we rebuild our amry of locust?

How Did You Handle Hatfields and Mccoys style Witnesses? Pure Hatred?

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

did any of you sisters or brothers ever help life long witness hatred disperse?

i know the five sisters who have not spoken in twenty five years, it's odd to see them give parts on circuit assemblies, or district assemblies knowing the dark hate that exist inside them.

these parts helped me realize that the organization is impotent in reigning in hatred with the rank and file.

I got myself shunned by two of "Five Sisters" for involving myself in their personal business! "No good deed goes unpunished!"

A refresher to young members who might have skipped past this part of history, here is a excert from Wiki

"The Hatfield-McCoy feud (1863-91) involved two families of the West Virginia-Kentucky area along the Tug Fork, off the Big Sandy River. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Ephraim Hatfield (born c. 1765) and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metaphor for any bitterly feuding rival parties. More than a century later, the story of the feud has become a modern symbol of the perils of family honor, justice and vengeance."

"Honor Your Mother", we need to show honor to our spiritual Mother, the annoited Slave. The pitch thrown my way by our speaker, was not the old "Revelation Climax Book" interpretation we were taught. It was made in no uncertain terms our "Spiritual Mother we need to honor" is none other than the faithful annointed Slave.

When I heard the talk begin, I was under the impression we were going to hear a nice lecture on taking care of our own Mums and Dads. No, not even close, we were told to honor the visible spirit annointed slave class as our Mum. I need to kick back and smoke a giant blunt, why should classic JW hypocrisy, the elusive carrot dangling in front of the horse (brotherly love), constant reminders we are one giant "loving family" bother me.

Corban is cool with your physical family, forget what Moses wrote in Exodus 20, focus on WTS 4.00.

"Time dedicated to the "Region Building Committee" cover's a multidue of sins" 1 WT 2:11

. "Mother loved her children so much, she reduced their homeworld to sixteen pages." WT 3:16

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

How much did we make on kickbacks, Trillions or Quadtrillions of dollars! We needed twenty armor cars to carry all that loot away!

All us brothers would take our share too, our contracts with the Organization demanded we receive "15 Percent Of The Pre-Adjusted Gross", that's Billions of Dollars! Our brothers and sisters did not mind the fact they were charged exorbitant prices, so we could live like gods! Hotels would provide a free golf course, beach front home, Hampton vacation. The list of perks is so long, it hard to remember all the freebies we made off with!

This is all before we had access to the price cutter Capital Kirk, now we use him to slash prices to the ground, we don't tell the friends about our arrangement with the "Price-line Negotiator" and all excess is donated to build the new site in New York's rural area.

Rumors are flying the Governing Body is now getting kick backs from Oil companies, Starbucks, MCDonald, Macy's and other's retailers our army of Witnesses frequent.

The shocking story is the new horse ranch being built with those 250 acres, the Governing Body is investing in dressage horses with their cut from the Hotal Business. I think every Witness or ExWitness has met someone who skims the cream off the top of the milk tank.
