by BoogerMan in

then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

NASA and other agencies soon followed suit.

Three undeniable facts (IMO) about Unidentified Flying Objects / Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena:

1) They exist.

2) They are being seen by more & more people across the world.*

3) Fighter pilots & other witnesses are agreed that nothing physical could survive the massive G-forces invoked by the incredible speeds & changes of direction.

* Because they now want to be seen?

For JW's who sin, just listen, obey, & be blessed by the current "slave's" direction from a few years ago.

After all, they do speak for Jehovah & Christ, don't they? No need to to confess anything to Elders.

w00 6/15 pp. 16-17 pars. 17-18 - "...should we not have faith in Jesus Christ as the living Head of the Christian congregation? (not the G.B? 😀) Is he not aware of what is happening in his own worldwide congregation? Should we not respect his way of handling the situation and recognize his ability to control matters? Really, ‘who are we to be judging our neighbor?’ Why not bring your concerns before Jehovah in your prayers?.....Those having spiritual discernment will wait on Jehovah to set things straight and administer whatever discipline may be needed in his own time and way."

Elders - take note!!!

Has the Organization threatened to disfellowship those who state views countering those of the Slave?

by Vanderhoven7 in

do you have quotations from watchtower literature regarding how to handle those contributing to disunity in the congregation?.

BoogerMan

No, they don't threaten - they do it. ALWAYS!!!!!! It's the unforgivable sin in JW eyes.

w06 7/15 p. 22 par. 14 - "Such ~~conversations~~ murmuring is often caused by ~~Bible knowledge~~ a lack of understanding of God’s way of doing things. The Creator progressively reveals the truth to his people. Hence, our ~~perversion~~ understanding of the Scriptures is bound to be ~~reversed~~ refined from time to time. The vast majority of ~~the blinded~~ Jehovah’s people ~~agonise~~ rejoice over such refinements. A few become ~~like the Beroeans~~ “righteous overmuch” and ~~question~~ resent the changes. ~~Logic~~ pride may play a role, and some fall into the trap of ~~seeing the falsehood~~ independent thinking."

BoogerMan

(1 Peter 4:17) "...it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God."

Either 33 C.E. or 1918:

w04 3/1 p. 16 par. 15 - "....Christ Jesus...in 1918, he came to God’s spiritual temple and fulfilled Peter’s words: “It is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.” (1Peter 4:17)

w96 4/1 p. 18 par. 8 - Mankind has entered a period of judgment. We are informed at 1 Peter 4:17 that judgment started “with the house of God”—a judgment of professed Christian organizations that has been apparent since...1914-18.

bw chap. 8 p. 133 par. 49 - As a “house of God,” the Christian congregation had its beginning in 33 C.E. From that time onward its members have been under divine judgment.

October 2024 Study Watchtower snippets

by BoogerMan in

october 2024 study watchtower p.16 par.15 footnote - "in some cases, qualified men in their mid-to-late 20’s may be appointed as circuit overseers.

however, such men must first gain experience serving as elders.".

(well, if jw's are dunking kids who still play with fisher-price toys & lego, they'll be ready to become c.o.

(well, if JW's are dunking kids who still play with Fisher-Price toys & Lego, they'll be ready to become C.O.'s at 25!)

Show Appreciation for “Gifts in Men” p.18 - 😄😄😄😄

Eph. 4:8 - "Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” (not 'in' men) [fn] * (ESV) * anthrōpos - a human being, whether male or female.

1 Corinthians 13:8 - "...gifts...will be done away with...will cease;"

How to Overcome Doubts p.25 par.3 - "One way that we can resolve our doubts is by turning to God’s Word to find answers to our questions." (not literature?)

I had a doubt about the "slave's" claim that armageddon will be the final war, so I checked with the Bible.

Yup, the Bible contradicts the "slave" (yet again) by saying there's a war after the 1000 years! (Rev.20:7,8)

(w15 11/1 p. 8 - "Armageddon....in this final war")

Has The "Evil Slave" Died Out?

by Sea Breeze in

those of us who have deep roots into watchtower remember the shadowy whispers about "the evil slave" when we were kids.. for those that need to get up to speed: .

the internal crisis came to its full with the occurrence of an outstanding bible-predicted event, namely, the coming of jehovah’s “messenger,” christ jesus, to jehovah’s temple for judgment in the spring of 1918, to separate the “faithful and discreet slave” class from the “evil slave” group.

(mal.

One of the contributors at an evangelical seminary in the USA who was involved in the NET Bible translation, declared this in the footnote:

w13 7/15 p. 24 - "One scholar says that in the Greek text, this passage “for all practical purposes is a hypothetical condition.”

So JW's should be thankful to a member of Babylon the Great for the "new light" and "food at the proper time." 😀

Big News: August English Watchtower released on servers

by ukpimo in

big news.

just in from a friend who is fading.. disfellowshipping will no longer be a term used by jws.

study article 35, paragraph 4 footnote says this:.

BoogerMan

August 2024 Study Watchtower p.27, par 6 - "Is the individual who has been removed from the congregation abandoned - left completely on his own to find his way back ~~to the cult~~ Jehovah?"

Many JW ~~apostates~~ heretics have not lost faith or belief in Christianity - only in the apostatic WTBTS and their equality with Jehovah.
