  Does he carry a Smith and Wesson .357 magnum with ivory handles? I wonder if he went to the hospital and slapped the inactive witness in their faces and told them to get the hell out in the service? I'll bet that military training from Patton is coming in real handy.

  Medical marijuana and the congregation

  by zed is dead in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i do not know if anyone has ever asked this question before.. if you live in a state where it is legal to smoke marijuana with a prescription, will the congregation take any action against a member of it that smokes it?

  i imagine that they wouldn't disfellowship anyone, but it may not make the person eligible for priveleges.. has there been any letter from hq to the boes about it?.

  i am just curious.. zed.

  I think that it all depends on your elders and how much they like to micromanage the flock and how much trouble they want to stir up. Marvin's comment about xanax reminds me of two elders corning a brother about drinking alcohol at a wedding because they knew he took anti-depressants. He told them to mind their own business, and that they were not doctors. You can't make this crap up.

  Is there a map or any indication of where the cup of Christ might be found guarded by a 700 year old Knight? I remember seeing a movie about this years ago, "Indiana Jones, In search of the Holy Grail". I'm still in love with Allison Doody aka, Dr. Elsa Schneider.

  The Sheep and the Goats

  31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

  Years ago I read an interesting article about why WT in the mid 1990's had to change the teaching of the separating of the sheep and goats (Matt 25:31-33) It may have even been on e-watchman's site or somewhere else. Does anyone have links to a discussion on this?

  Thanks

  Wannabefree,

  So now we have a washable keyboard and a disposable keyboard. What choices. Environmentalist like the washable because it is "greener".

  At first I thought you were joking, but "evidently" it is useful in medical situations and if your using it outdoors it is waterproof!

  A Couple of thoughts on July WT

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i actually got a bucket close by and read some of the study ed.

  july 13 w.t my first reaction was amazement at how very muddled the whole thing was, i think if i had all those months to write articles since the noo lite was presented at the agm i could make a much better job of arguing the new ideas, and our very own sd7 could do even better !.

  for instance, it is claimed in the chart, and the 2nd article i think, that the harvest began in 1914, by whom ?.

  "Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

  Heartofaboy,

  I have guilted myself before thinking I was ridiculing the coming just as the scripture that you quoted. However, if the coming is true, I am content to wait and work on my christian personality. My contention is not where is the Coming; but rather, why has WT been saying they are God's channel to mankind and the obvious fact is that they haven't hit the side of a barn with a tank with their expectations.

  Having the WT organization blast that Armeggedon is imminent for 130 years, insisting that we not just "seek the kingdom first", but that the kingdom is the only thing that we should seek and it's done by placing literature, building kingdom halls, assembly halls, and branches all of which they have found a way to profit off of is nonsense. WT has had millions of people that have "listened" to their ramblings for over a century, but the scripture you quoted is not a free ticket to continuous speculation without your credibility shot.

  Who is in charge of the Watchtower Society

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the great topic of dogpatch, brought up my some thoughts about "who is in charge of the watchtower society".. first the character of the organization: since the foundation by w.h.

  conley and the russells the watchtower society have ever been commercial.. 1. cooporation between businessmen and bankers: joseph, charles taze russell and william h. conley.. 2. exchange a small store chain for a more profitable business: religion.. 3. target group: anxiously, rich, white, mainly female part of population.. 4. using money making scheme 1: the watchtower society had to pay for the license of the publications written by russell, tower publishing corporation.. 5. using money making scheme 2: all profits of the watchtower society are invested in real estate.

  offices and converence halls all over the world.
