  Suing the WT would probably only work to bring them down if you had deeper pockets than them.

  Rattigan succeeded in making this thread about himself.

  To the WT, having fun is "worldly". Christmas lights are fun, therefore worldly. 🙄

  Who Directs the Activitie$ and Doctrines of the Hovering Body?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.

  10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).

  they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.

  Vanderhoven7, I wanted to upvote your post, but that photo and the reference to future kings makes me feel ill 🤢.

  Edited to add: I held my nose and upvoted anyway.

  I am currently out of my usual town. Before this trip, I read a few references on here to the JW.org symbol being on all things WT and thought that that must be being overstated. Then I went on this current trip. I've seen way more Kingdom Halls than I expected. And what struck me was how odd and out of place that JW.org sign looks on all of them.

  I saw a Christmas wreath somewhere and had the inspiration of combining the two symbols. What would a JW in field service think if he saw their symbol in a Christmas wreath?

  Good to see that the spirit of Tony is still directing things* from the bottom of whatever watery grave he ended up in**.

  * In advance: I know he was removed from the GB and that this is an old image.

  ** Referring to speculation by some on the "Where's Tony?" thread that Tony is sleeping with the fishes.

  It's just decorative lights, Rattigan. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning*? You're being very picky and judgemental today.

  Enjoy your lights, Stephane! 😁👌👍✨

  JULY 15TH STUDY EDITION :"If ever that evil slave..." page 24

  by raymond frantz in

  2. beliefs

  box on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".

  jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.

  jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

  "It is noteworthy that in Jesus’ illustration, the faithful and discreet slave receives two distinct appointments. The first is over the domestics; the second is over all the master’s belongings ..."

  They do love them their two classes of everything, don't they?

  gossip

  by Nancy1919 in

  2. beliefs

  i was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.

  it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

  "What? You had to be told by an elder that?"

  Didn't your mother tell you to let someone finish a sentence before jumping on them in condemnation? The second half of the sentence concludes:

  "but i guess the new light allows this"

  Nice try making it about yourself, Rattigan, but the OP's point stands.

  Would you have preferred her to frame it more as "As JWs, we were always told to do X, but now they seem to allow Y"?

  You're being a bit nitpicky today.
