Ask An Elder

by BeeEmBee in

ok, 4 questions sprang to mind in light of the recent elders letter.. if you get to the kingdom hall and its on fire, brother a says he saw brother b set it ablaze purposely, .

who do you call first and why?

if you get to the kingdom hall and the sound system has been stolen, sister a says she saw brother b loading it onto his van,.

I was genuinely pleased to read that you thought it was a decent example so thanks for that.

i actually posed these questions to an elder this evening and i was disappointed to say the least, but i guess i was pretty much expecting that.

Saename, you might be right in some cases but in this case it was question 2 that wasn't as straightforward.

The answer to that was that they would try to contact the thieving brother to start with, ok i can see that. But the others apart from the obvious 4th question was to contact the relevant emerency services straight away. the last question didnt even get a response, but i did go off on a tangent during the long silence immediately after i asked.

It was meant to be a thought provoker, it might help some though, but perhaps it would be good to have two upstanding witnesses / members of the congregation present, because if it doesnt nudge the elder into thought, it might nudge a listener to it epsecially after hearing the elders response followed by context of the latest elders letter.

edit: forgot to say, MightyV8 that was funny, didnt see that coming.

Who do you call first and why?

If you get to the kingdom hall and there's a dead body on the platform with blood everywhere and brother A says he saw sister B commit the murder,

Who do you call first and why?

So, if you get to the kingdom hall and a little one is claiming that brother or sister so and so has sexually abused them,

Who do you call first and why?

(Now sing along if you know it)

One of these things is not like the other,

3 of these things are kinda the same,

can ya tell which thing is not like the other by the time we finish the game

Seven Trumpets of Revelation

by Zico in

i read on here that the society teaches that the seven trumpets of revelation are representative of seven conventions held in america in the 1920. is this actually true?

is it old light?

i asked some witnesses but they all gave me a look like i was weird and said it couldn't be right, and i can't check the watchtower library as i can't get it on my computer (apparently the society doesn't think mac users are worthy of the 'good news') i mean... it would be a bit...odd, wouldn't it?

theyre still at it.

edit,

you gotta love that the date of the 'trumpet blast' public talks was right around the beth sarim debacle too

It's astonishing that the content of these talks have not been printed and published as an appendix to the bible. Surely a series of talks that were the subject of bible prophecy should be right up there with the other 66 books.

Of course if they actually published them everybody would see what utter bullshit they were. I read them all in full once. They are utter nonsense and full of failed prophecy.

EXACTLY!!!!

I think maybe its time we had a copy of these seven trumpet blasts, either a recording of the talk itself (someone must have some form of copy, come on now THESE ARE THE 'BLASTS OF REVELATION'!) or a transcript. preferably both.

I would like to hear ol' 'judge' man tooting his horn in order to examine these profound judgements, if i can stomach it.

surely this would be something the wtbs would be proud to proclaim. THE FULFILLMENT OF THE TRUMPET BLASTS IN ALL THEIR GLORY. WELL LETS HEAR THEM THEN.

if that doesnt wake up loved ones and friends, at least some of them.

please if anyone knows of or has access to those 'mighty' talks given by the 'judge' then please share.

dont just share BROADCAST THEM JUST LIKE THE 'JUDGE' WOULD HAVE WANTED!

ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE!!!!

ATT: WARNING

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

It seems to me the lies of the wolves crying wolf has hardened so many from seeing whats actually going on.

I cant confirm completely what the OP has stated, but you shouldn't mock them.

and i repeat, you shouldn't mock them.

did no one spot isiah 17;1 on sky news?

Its happening now, and as far as i know damascus remained throughout history, thousands of years, so im told, but with whats going on now, on your very tv screens that little verse has never seemed so real.

you just watch. it'll be televised i bet.

my dad a longtime jw doesnt even see it, and im totally bemused.

he even said, 'no it says people will be giving and taking in marriage, eating and drinking'

cant you lot see whats going on? its for real. and its about to get VERY REAL.

and whether you believe in prophecy, God, The son, or not, dont you realise the proverbial is about to go down.

and whoever said this is the most peaceful time in history.... well im just dumbfounded. did you mean to lie? or do you actually believe that?

tho i would have thought if the GB spotted it they would be banging on about it, but they are being bound up as we speak and they're quite distracted.

I dont know how the future is going to play out exactly, if at all,

but if you cant see trouble literally sprinting over the horizon then you're blind.

pucker up, its here. it'll escalate all of a sudden.

he/she might not be spot on, but you shouldnt mock them.
