Whenever I hear/read references to "the other sheep," (John 10:16) and the "little" flock" (Luke 12:32) whom Jesus was exclusively sent to gather, (Matthew 15:24) I groan inside that it took me years to realize that these two groups are simply Jews & gentiles - not an elite heavenly 'anointed class' and an 'earthly class.'

Fascinating Quotations of The Faithful Slave

by Vanderhoven7 in

do you have any amazing quotations that have been produced by the faithful slave over the years?.

remember it's important that we should learn to love and value truth for it’s own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomever presented.

a truth presented by the faithful slave himself is just as true as a truth stated by god.. share some of those amazing quotations that have fascinated you.

w67 10/1 p. 587 par. 9 Finding Freedom with Jehovah’s Visible Organization - “Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation [JW's] as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible. For this reason the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah’s visible organization in mind.”

Funny thing is, the word 'organization' is like the word 'trinity,' it doesn't appear anywhere in the Bible. Strange.

A brief summary: (not summery!)

November 2028: The Prime Minister has announced that all but emergency travel is forbidden due to the dangers of the very cold weather, as predicted by Imperial College London computer models.

Everyone except emergency service staff and food retailers must work from home.

To protect people, the government will provide all citizens with a newly designed duffel coat, which when tested on 43 people in clinical trials during a 5 day period, proved completely safe and effective for maintaining body heat.

December 2028: Conspiracy theorists are now spreading misinformation on the internet which claim that asbestos fibers are integrated into the duffel coat material, causing many people to reject the offer of a free duffel coat.

January 2029: The government has now issued new directives under the 2028 Brass Monkey Weather Act which require that all government & NHS employees must wear the protective duffel coat, or face being dismissed. Also, no travel beyond 5 miles from home is permitted unless the duffel coat is worn.

February 2029: Office for National Statistics figures show that 13,200 deaths per week have been recorded since the cold weather began. This figure is far greater than the annual UK average which is 13,203.

80% of the deceased were recorded as non-duffel coat wearers due to their body temperature being less than 1 degree Celsius at time of death.

March 2029: Despite the cold weather having greatly eased, people are still dying, though in lesser numbers. Of concern is the number of younger duffel coat wearers who are still dying, but not from the cold.

This phenomena is termed, Obscure Health Syndrome Hazard Involving Trauma. (OHSHIT)

April 2029: Duffel coat manufacturers have advised the government that their product will only protect against the cold for a limited time. As such, they are recommending that people are given a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th duffel coat to wear every 3-6 months.

Critics of the duffel coat scheme who refused to wear them, have been told that wearing the duffel coats had almost certainly saved hundreds of thousands lives.

Anti-duffel coat wearers insist that their own clothing provided them with a tried & tested, safer, and more effective insulation.

Various government officials and advisors who were found to have ignored the rules regarding duffel coats, have been given a stern talking to.

Mark of a true Christian

by Lost in the fog in

as most of us on this site have experienced firsthand when we were in, there is a lack of love in the majority of congregations.. i was talking to a pimi person recently who said that love was the identifying mark of true christians (in their opinion the jw organisation) and that is why the watchtowers they study continually tell them to show love to one another.. i said that if their love was genuinely practiced they wouldn't need to be told to show it because it would arise from their heart and soul and be evident in believers which is what jesus was actually saying.

recognising the needs of the community with rising food prices some local churches where i live were moved to start food banks and offer free meals to families on the breadline.

to me that is spontaneously shown and is genuine love in action.. needless to say the pimi disagreed with me.

BoogerMan

In my last Ministry School talk, I illustrated how gold had a hallmark to prove that it was genuine and then asked the question, "What is the hallmark of a genuine Christian - is it preaching the good news?"

I then encouraged the audience to read along with John 13:35. After the meeting finished, a brother (ex-elder) told me that he thought I was wrong in what I'd said in my talk!

HYPOTHESIS for Christians

satan offered jesus control of the world, as a reward for worshiping him.. (luke 4:5, 6) so he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.

then the devil said to him: “i will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and i give it to whomever i wish.

1. humans who have been given control of the earth, communicate (spiritism*) with its true ruler.

2. Such communications delude them to believe that they are in communion with a supreme being.

*In a stricter sense, spiritism is a doctrine founded upon the existence, manifestations and teachings of the spirits. https://www.definitions.net/definition/spiritism

Wrong Religion

by Vanderhoven7 in

we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.

i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.

please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.

@ Godbeliever - (1 Peter 3:15) . . .always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have, . . .

If you can't offer any defense/proof for your belief that the 'faithful slave' was selected from a bunch of JW's in the USA in 1919, then you are not being honest with yourself.

Hi Godbeliever, your response was lengthy, but still you refuse to answer a simple question with a factual answer: What extraordinary proof shows that God/Jesus selected the Bible Students to be the "faithful slave."

Being persecuted is not a sign of divine selection. Jews have been persecuted throughout the world for centuries - but more so in the 20th century. Come back with divine evidence.
