JW-God's channel of communication

by enoughisenough in

the faithful slave is considered god's channel of communication.

( though not inspired of god ) does anyone else find the use of the word channel interesting in this regard?

from where i am sitting it denotes spiritism.

The old green bible - I think it was- Editorial stated that Westcott and Hort revised version was used as well they were noted in the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures. Were they not members of The Ghost Society? This, they said was to investigate the appearance of ghosts. In the day, they were quite an issue? Westcott and Hort were evolutionists who denied the Genesis account of creation.

Westcott denied the reality of Heaven. He wrote in his commentary of John 1:18, "The 'bosom of the Father' (like heaven) is a state and not a place."

So with these two profound statements indications are that God is not using the current org. as a channel since they allowed WH versions to be included in their bible for years but they have since dropped them because it's not in the silver sword. That was only built on previous translations from the society. I guess that was a new light they received from the holy spirit they dropped from "the father, the son and ____(Jehovahs organization)" in Matt 28:19

JW profit from disasters

by enoughisenough in

some time back i questioned about jw making money from doing relief work for disasters.

i found this story on reddit and also noted some of the replies.

it makes me wonder how many would have left their own jobs and paid their way, giving free labor and some supplying free materials if they had know what was going on behind the scenes.

Does anyone know that the homeowners are approached first with a NDA in that they will sign off on the insurance if the brothers do the job? They - the org -are not likely to let that go. After all, once it is done, the homeowner could change their mind and keep the money and have a new house to boot.

The Meaning of ETC

by titch in

folks: i don't mean to be a "forum grammar policeman", but there is something that i've noticed a few times.

i've noticed that a few---not all---but some, members of the forum who use the abbreviation "ect" when they want to use the abbreviation of "etc.

" for your education today, the term "etc" is the abbreviation for the latin term "et cetera.

The SKE? He is still in the business? Doesn't look too sad to me. Will he be restored to being a GB somebody? He is giving a talk by the looks of it.

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”

by FFGhost in

so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

the “door of the ark” is closed.

I always said they we like a brainwashing machine, repeat, repeat, repeat until its fact. They are great in psych training, almost like an intelligence bureau, they know all the switches to put into play, obeying the biggest one.

Blondie- I always thought the same as you, no way that all in the world would have a witness 2/3 of the population are not christian, as such. The only way would be for a personal intervention by Jehovah himself. The real reason behind that propaganda was to get the pubs out in the field, a scare tactic that kept them in line thinking they had to do it. Now its - ho hum, Jehovah will take care of it.
