so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.
Maybe God sent along with Manna and long lasting shoes also constipation , would also explain why most of them died in the wilderness ;-)
But seriously, a couple days ago, I mentioned that problem of practical application to my PIMI wife, as a little tidbit of helping her to wake up...
However, one excuse to it could be, that the "camp" mentioned just refers to the camp of their immediate family, ?
my wife and i were intrigued by the trailer, which looked like a humorous, over the top, dark comedy.. the story centers around the unscrupulousness of a female attorney named marla grayson (rosamund pike) who makes her living by preying on old people.
grayson has her victims declared mentally incompetent, locks them away in a care facility she has bought off and then liquidates and pockets their assets as their court appointed guardian.. (spoilers ahead).
ms. grayson humorously makes the mistake of singling out a seemingly helpless retiree name jennifer peterson (dianne wiest) as her next target.. grayson however, quickly discovers that peterson has millions of dollars in diamonds in a safe deposit box and far from being helpless is the mother of roman lunyov, (peter dinklage) a russian mafia figure who is not terribly happy with this turn of events.. up to this point, the movie was great.
Halfway through good movie, good initial idea, then it screwed up royally. Complete utter BS when she survived the attempted kill miracolously, total underwhelming end...
Dont know, if it was wokeness that ruined it, or just no motivation to finish what started as a quite original story
we all know of kingdom halls being sold for the past few years.
recently i ran into an elder from a nearby congo, and he told me, that they were in the process of selling their hall, but sudenly it was paused, and he expressed it like the gb put a stop to all selling projects world wide.
any of you heard about that ?.
Hi all,
we all know of kingdom halls being sold for the past few years. Recently I ran into an elder from a nearby congo, and he told me, that they were in the process of selling their hall, but sudenly it was paused, and he expressed it like the GB put a stop to all selling projects world wide.
Any of you heard about that ?
when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.
very carefully worded, I'll give him that. He basically says, that some in the congregation also can be a spokesperson of God when he helps someone. So basically he still limits the possible spokespersons only to JW. Mostly the GB8, but sometimes maybe elders, ms, however, as we know, only if they follow the GB guidelines to the t.
The persecutor should have nailed it there, and asked, if also a non JW could be today a spokesperson for God.
thought i'd share if no one has done so already.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxf75u-xoji.
omg, this is the worst song (lyric wise). there are at least some mediocre, kind of ok songs, but this is literally the worst ... most cultish...
even if the WT licensed its use, it was a poor choice....
the final talk of the saturday afternoon online convention is given by lett, sporting a creepy looking combover, which for some reason, looks creepier than normal.
he talks about how those resurrected will need to come into line with a new moral code otherwise they will be destroyed.
he uses an example of gay people having to turn away from their inclinations even though they may feel that they are perfectly acceptable.. this demonstrates that the gb feel that being gay is a taught behaviour rather than an imperfect unnatural desire, otherwise they would be growing out of that desire as they develop towards perfection, as they teach.
@wannabefree:
that was exatlty my thought, even regarding resurrection of Lazarus and others. Why did they have to die again ? their sins were not forgiven and their resurrection meant that something imperfect was recreated. How does this fit into the idea of an holy God, who cannot even have dealings with imperfect people, only through angels. makes no sense
a while back i came across an article that provides an illustration of a student challenging his teacher.anyways article went on to say the teacher should allowed the student to prove its point.
any help would be appreciated..
"What does the bible teach" chapter 11
there is apparently an interview being circulated among jw.
me and my pimi wife got it several times.
its from some kind of tv station in us.
an experience from the latest magazine.
only in jehovah's organization!
oh wait.. jovica, quoted earlier in this series ofarticles, grew up hearing his countrymen,the news, and television programs givenegative reports about a minority group.“i became filled with prejudice—and evenhatred—for those people,” he says.
Yep, you nfind these kind of experiences anywhere, religions, charities, even army organisations.
However, as JW are so conditioned only to focus on their own, they are blind to these things, since the world is rotten to the core and Satan rules it anyway.
many of us have watched the gb #4 update.
most of us jumped for joy when they basically said that there will be no meeting in person for a long time to come.. one aspect we overlooked was how hard they hit home the "love of neighbor".
how this "love" is what makes a true christian and as a result our love for our neighbors will motivate us to stay at home.. well now they released a letter that is instructing all kh's to view this video during their local needs part.
Hi, I agree with the sentiment, that somewhere in near future they adress the problem of turnig off camera while zooming.
But it can easily backfire. Right now attendance is high, since people who may not feel well or miss meeting because of stress or boredom, just sign in without camera. If they put pressure to the folks to turn on their camera, mayn might simply not zoom in at all. Then the attendance will drop again, something the org, number crazy as it is, would surely avoid.
