  Interesting conversation, never give up hope!

  All of your questions could be answered if you put Jehovah to the test

  It's not about Jehovah, it's about the Borganization's hypocrisy and cultish tactics... mene, mene, tekel, parsin.

  Anyone else hear of this?

  a jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.

  interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.

  the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

  Yadlachim is an intriguing website, been reading it since a year or so. Don't mess with these guys!

  I mean, they manage to free and convert female jews, who have been trapped in Arabian marriages, back to Judaism...let alone to disrupt evangelical activities by Mormons, Evangelicals, JW's... whatever. Does the last picture in below's article look familiar?

  J's Witnesses Strike Again in Door-to-Door Campaign

  02/17/16

  J's Witnesses are conducting an Israel-wide campaign, knocking on doors and asking homeowners to allow them in for a discussion on "the meaning of life." So far, Yad L'Achim activists have encountered these missionaries in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rechovot, Bat Yam, Holon, Yehud, Netanya, Yokneam and Teverya Illit, but the list of cities grows as the anti-missionary organization's hotline continues to receive new complaints every day. The callers, Jews from across the religious spectrum, are outraged to have their homes violated by J's Witnesses. [bold mine] Others weren't home when the missionaries called but were accosted by the spiritually poisonous material left at their doorsteps, signaling the campaign's intense desire to reach as many Jews as possible. Based on eyewitness reports from the field, the missionaries arrive in teams of three, comprising two foreigners and one Hebrew-speaker. They also frequent shopping centers and other crowded areas, loading up stands with missionary material that they distribute to passersby. Yad L'Achim, which beefed up its manpower in advance of the campaign, dispatches activists in response to every call that comes in on the hot line. The activists canvass the neighborhood, warning residents to be on the alert for the missionaries. Before long, the missionaries give up and move on, realizing that they've been found out. This week, Yad L'Achim stepped up its campaign, putting up billboards in cities around the country, distributing flyers and placing advertisements warning residents of the missionaries' efforts. Flyers titled "You've Been Targeted," in Hebrew and Russian, warn residents of the missionary campaign being conducted in their area and call on them not to be lured by the sweet-talking missionaries. They are urged to immediately notify the Yad L'Achim hotline of any approaches. Yad L'Achim's field coordinator, Harav Binyamin Vulcan, said that activists are heartened to see, once again, the extent to which Jewish hearts pound strong among Israelis of all stripes, and the appreciation they feel toward Yad L'Achim for its efforts to protect Am Yisrael from spiritual enemies. "You've Been Targeted." Yad L'Achim flyers, in Hebrew and Russian, warn local residents of missionaries in their midst.

  not playing their game, as i've learned here.

  they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.

  i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

  Always thought the witnesses were brilliant and unique regarding their understanding of that account, but as soon as I became a parent, I thought again and began to have some serious (but silent) doubts regarding that whole free will issue.

  I mean, with so much at stake (universal worship and peace and happiness)... why didn't Jehovah warn Adam and Eve the very second that the puffed up angel became satan the devil? Satan was a new kind of angel, the first of an evil, vicious kind, more intelligent than Adam & Eve and clearly with murderous intents. What parent, present and fully aware of everything taking place in such a specific situation of danger, would let his child undergo the death penalty only because he had warned clearly enough about that dangers in the past and knowing the child had understood the warning?

  2. friends

  another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.

  jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.

  absolutely drives me mad..

  There was always that inevitable moment when some elderly sisters in the hall began to sigh during such long prayers. A subtle stop sign that could be heard by almost anyone, exept by the one praying it seemed.

  What if one of the GB members suddenly needed blood?

  there is not much to be analyzed.

  in a cult enviromment the leader will always look up for himself.

  he would never hesitate to break every rule to save his own skin.

  "The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

  " "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

  have the many jehovahs witnesses past and present who have lost their lives by refusing blood transfusions due to the prohibition on blood tranfusions by jehovahs witnesses really got the sense of this statement ?.

  The Governing Body makes important decisions collectively. How so? The members meet weekly, which fosters close communication and unity. (Prov. 20:18) Each year, they rotate chairmanship at those meetings, since no member of the Governing Body is considered to be more important than the other members. (1 Pet. 5:1) Each of the six committees of the Governing Body rotate chairmanship in the same way.

  I know it's off topic, but this article contains a lot of interesting statements (therefore I printed it). For instance, doesn't this bold part indicate that Jackson's shameless and evasive statements before the ARC that certain policies from the GB are NOT his field, is utter bullshit? (something we already knew anyway, but always good to see the truth printed and written in the WT, right?).
