if you believe the Bible, the writers didn't imagine him, but were given visions which they wrote down what they saw...or they were inspired to write the descriptions. I can't think where I ever read they created items from the inspirations and bowed down to them...as they did in the case of false gods.

Images
by peacefulpete insimple question.
while the deuteronomists and later writers of the bible condemned the use of images of yahweh, they at the same time imagined him and described him in text as a man in the sky with bow and arrows or riding a chariot drawn by cherubs or sitting on a throne.
if the former is a dishonor, ought not the latter be as well?.

spoke with a JW friend who lives states away...she didn't know about Tony...It's like I wonder what he did! She also said that Jehovah cleaned out the organization once before and he would do it again. I did get around to telling her the ones who got cleaned out ( because I knew she was referring the Raymond Franz and others along about that time) were ones who were doing personal Bible study and found things that didn't go along with what was published in the WT, so they got the boot. I also told her about the elders going to be questioned in PA as to CSA and she was happy about that. ...all that being said the mental disconnect is in place.

interesting about renting because it is my understanding that Masonic lodges were rented at one time or other.

Being embarrassed by a JW when you were a JW
by punkofnice ini was out on the ministry(tm) in the 1980's when i was pie-on-earring.
i was only a lowly publisher(tm) being coached by a rather odd elder(tm).. one of the publications(tm) had recently mentioned japan and the growth(tm) of jws there.. the elder(tm), brother(tm) i was with offered the magazines(tm) to the householder(tm).. then he stated, 'there are (gave the reported numbers at the time.
i can't remember the number he stated), jehovah's witnesses(tm) in japan.'.

not my story but told to me. Some young men were in a car group together and they drove onto a property with no really good place to turn around. No one was home. So to facilitate a better turning maneuver, the driver pulled the car into an open garage. The floor to the garage was rotten wood! They were stuck there until the home owner arrived!

many moons ago when we were building a new hall, I thought it odd that they sold the old chairs to a church...( was that not supporting false religion) And so much for the dedication to Jehovah and pure worship for the new Halls, right? Hypocrites

they are still pushing shots, masks, and testing...wouldn't you think that if men are old enough and wise enough to "shepherd the flock", they would know be more wise as to what their body requires without the overlords mandating. I hope this wakes up some of the toothless lions...the organization cares not for them or their health.

Fully vaccinated
by llubrevlis2000 ini have just heard about a rebellion starting for the kingdom ministry schools this year.
nobody is allowed to go unless you are fully vaccinated and the unvaccinated are not allowed to watch by video conferencing.. apparently there are many congratulations insisting on recently fully vaccinated meaning to those elders, you had your latest booster recently.
if it’s been more than six months you are no longer fully vaccinated.. i hear of lots of elders or mss who just do not want to keep taking these injections some haven’t had a booster in months and now they are not allowed to go to the upcoming kms.. that is not really what the letter said, it says all coordinators have to check that all elders are fully vaccinated.

about the speculation, Tony being gone because of the shots....I don't think so....he wasn't the only one on the monthly broadcasts that promoted that poison. As far as a U turn is concerned, they can't do that unless their Handlers ( not Jehovah or Jesus ) tell them to...and if my thinking (conspiracy ) is correct, those handlers are among the globalists who want depopulation. Call me crazy...I don't care...What other reason could there be for the GB to emotionally blackmail and coerce without let up the taking of the shots. The toothless lion elders should be in an uproar! ( if Tony was let go because of the shots, it would be because he was against them, IMO-and you don't go against the Body)

DISSOCIATION - Based on Covid 19
by gavindlt indear friends,.
i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.
it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

gavindit, I don't know when you wrote this as you mention Tony Morris in the end...I agree with punkofnice that it likely won't be read...Here is what I was thinking as I was reading: It needs to be published!-maybe a news paper editorial if that could happen or maybe some well known magazine would pick it up. ( it is likely they would want to edit some of it ) If you could find a newspaper that accepted editorials, maybe pitch a series and take on just one category at a time. Anyway, I am glad you now see it. It was the shots that woke me up and I gave myself permission to look behind the curtain.........
