Fedup- the BS conductor said the same thing that we are to not be like Saul who disobeyed Jehovah but should follow the guidelines set out by the GB....
Now that we no longer receive covid updates - maybe once a week- and seeing that the numbers they give are NOT going down- in fact, they are higher than the first hit of covid- 2540 cases in six days equates, in this area over 400 per day and with health staff at an all time low and hospitals still in a dire situation, along with the LTHs for the elderly, who is going to make a decision in this area as to what to do?
Will the CO, or the elders be concerned enough to find out what the true situation is? I doubt it--- as for me, No way am I sitting my buns in a hall that is allowing non vac through the door. Its bad enough in flu season where they still come to the hall and then everyone is sick--- let alone a hall that is maybe 60x60 and seats are crammed together- no mention of number allowed to attend or spacing per person.

Hey- gas is too high now -- remember when they cancelled the home bible studies? Their reasoning then was higher gas prices... what now? All the money to be spent on gas won't go into the coffers

The other sheep: Looking for an apologist to offer an explanation
by IP_SEC ina verse constantly plucked from context by witnesses is john 10:16. they use it to prove that there are two classes of christian.. and i have other sheep i have other sheep, which are not of this fold: those also i must bring and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.. the this fold say witnesses are anointed christians and the other sheep are christians with an earthly hope.. read the text carefully and in context, and i challenge anyone to be able to prove that.. in chapter 9 jesus heals a man born blind.
this infuriates the pharisees who then attack the healed man and threaten him with being expelled from the synagogue.
the man will not recant and is thrown out.. jesus finds him and asks him to be his follower.

Thought I would restore this conversation since a number of current folks may not think of the "Other Sheep" as being other than just that.
Very good insights by the group back when..

TBK- your on the money JW's have adopted the writings of a catholic church member to expound on the name of God_Yahweh or LORD and devised the name Jehovah, which today is not correct-- as writings back then contained no vowels, a,e,i,o u
and even today pope- with his Cardinals, bishops, laymen is equivalent to JWS with their governing body, their dtb district overseers,,now circuit overseers, elders, ministerial servants
Its all heirarchy something the wtbts denies but its all there to see. Even
the courts said so in recent rulings i,e, ARC and New York Lawyers in recent court cases for child abuse

Because Jesus said - he sits on the right hand of God
Because Jesus said he was here to do his Fathers will
Because Jesus said his life was for the good of mankind so he sacrificed it and asked why the cup had been given to him
because Jesus said he sat on the right hand of God, I think 12 times and his Father only knew who would be with Jesus after he finished his earthly course
I do no think about the rules and regulations of the Watchtower nor is my allegiance is to the 8 or 7 gb members who made themselves so and place themselves as something special...' no man is special in their realm of stepford wives
I guess I am one who believes in God and his son - if there is more after this life then so be it...Right now just fighting to get through this covid- hangin on by my fingernails --
I can stand outside a hall or a church or a mosque and dont really feel I have to go in --now if your talking about awesome archetecture, flying buttresses in the 500-700 year churches yaS! Let me in- I want to see the wonder of mans ingenuity histories, and architecture.. TO know man can build such grand monuments then spend trillions to find another planet because they have ruined this one jewel is beyond all sense.

Sorry you folks wherever you are, most canadians grab a shovel after work, she did a 12 shift and it snowed in the interim, grabbed a shovel to work off the stress of the day, she opened up an instagram and explained their sharing of work and are comfortable with it... Koodoos to that family!
Most of our Candian weather - moves up along the atlantic seaboard from the u s so you too are on the other end of this snowy beautiful mess...

CO retirement severance?
by road to nowhere ina friend says the wt gives a substantial sum to retiring cos. he says one bought land and built near him, a desirable rural area.
i think it must have been saved green handshake money or inherited.. btw this man also thinks the gb are the smartest men alive..

One C O retired owning an apartment building and several houses... all from green handshakes - for any who are having a "hard" time, I do not believe it - unless they were really bad doing their job and pubs did not like him.
