@ enoughisenough: in the WT CD ROM Library there are no occurrences whatsoever of the terms 'spiritually weak' or spiritually sick' in the literature or the Bible, but approximately 150 references for 'spiritual sickness' & spiritual weakness' - in the literature only, not the Bible.

spiritually sick
by enoughisenough ini thought of this today.
when i first told a certain person i didn't believe the gb were the faithful slave, that person told me i was spiritually sick....even bought me flowers.
i threw the vase away because i couldn't look at it without thinking how i was judged spiritually sick.

Since they had been “sold under sin” by their forefather Adam, his descendants could do nothing to relieve themselves of this crushing debt. Death of the debtor alone could wipe it out, “for he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (Romans 6:7)

Exercise Patience Regional Convention
by Rattigan350 inthe theme of the in person convention this year is "exercise patience".
looking at the convention map, they are really using their assembly halls and they are using smaller civic centers or city arena.
no more huge stadiums.. are they not expecting a great crowd?

Does anyone believe this: Year after year, the East Pennine Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in the UK has been running at a very large loss - sometimes at more than £100,000 per year!
Alleged "expenditure" always exceeds income! Time for some forensic accounting to take place.

Parting Letter
by Konagirl ina friend of mine was compelled to reach out to as many members as possible in her congregation, by sending them the following letter that i would like to share.. to my brothers and sisters,.
i’m sure you’ve realised by now that something isn’t quite right with me as i haven’t been around in months.
the truth is i have been going through a crisis and the last few months have been the hardest time of my life.

Ding captured my immediate thought: as soon as the first paragraph is read, the JW paranoia will prevent them from reading anything further, because "apostate" will be screaming in their heads.
One 'silver bullet' is needed with JW's - not a scatter-gun.

JW's are NOT connected to the WTBTS....
by BoogerMan in.....just as gerrit losch of the g.b.
claimed he has nothing to do with it - or vice versa.. i suppose that's why him & his jw g.b.
cronies assume total control of the wtbts annual meeting every year - because they're totally separate from each other!

km 2/89 p. 3 Our Identification as Jehovah’s Witnesses - "As ministers of the good news, we are known publicly as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Our voluntary participation in the field service is motivated by love of God and neighbor. It is not carried on at the insistence of any man or organization but is according to our God-given commission to preach the “good news” and make disciples. Therefore, publishers do well to avoid representing themselves as agents or representatives of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., or any other corporation* used by “the faithful and discreet slave” to advance Kingdom interests."
* including CCOJW?

Ruining the Earth2.0
by peacefulpete infew years ago i did a thread that i hope has helped some folks.
maybe it is time to 'recycle' it.. did the writer of rev 11:18 (ruin those who ruin the earth) somehow anticipate the modern environmental situation, or did he intend something more in keeping with the bible's general concerns of morality and sin?.
secondly, how does the context help to interpret it?.

I used to think that the 'ruining of the earth' in Genesis & Revelation described moral collapse, but now am more inclined to believe that it will be both a limited moral & physical destruction.
The comments regarding nuclear methods appear to be very possible in view of Revelation 16:13, 14 - "And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of* the great day of God the Almighty."
It's the earth's military powers who are assembled to battle each other for the last time.
If God was going to destroy them, they wouldn't need to be "gathered together" would they? He would simply destroy them where they are!
The 3 instigators of Armageddon are the dragon, the wild beast, and the false prophet - not God, so a limited nuclear exchange might be deployed - thanks to the "inspired expressions."
* to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. (NIV)
It's God great day, but not His battle. His battle occurs after the 1000 years have ended. Just thinking aloud.

@ SB - So true!
The Bible says the "lamb of God" takes away the sin of the world, while the WTBTS/G.B. claim that Adamic death does the exact same thing! (based on their false teaching of Romans 6:7)
Looks like "God's organization" goes way beyond the things that are written!
