The Motive of the Governing Body

by jwfacts in

i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

truthlover123

Very well written to go straight to the facts and disillusions of an organization from one who was there to see it all --.....I agree power and control--definitely - reminds me of a Jim Jones only this has been spouting since 1874 to 1914 to 1975 to generation....

And now --If your not on Zoom, your questioned, if you are on Zoom and dont have the camera on you at all times, other pubs want to know what is going on.. elders want you there for the "ride along" /active phone calling service now more days that ever (and if your not on doing phone calls- they know your service record is kaput)... its a captive audience now - no getting away from it.

Technological hell to bind worse than ever. No real private life anymore. Control at its best.

Governor Cuomo - Does He Have a Flash Drive Plugged into His Head?

by RubaDub in

like the guy or not, i don't know how this guy can talk so much, giving fact after fact and analyze what is going on, not just in new york but across the country.

he's not reading from notes and there are no teleprompters.

he gives about an hour to an hour and a half at press conferences every day and fox news carries it.. i mean, as i am listening, he's saying they moved 802 ventilators from this state to that state, 412 came here to new york .... on and on.

I look forward to his updates and in depth information. You don't see that from a lot of politicians, so kudos to him

and I hope his brother, Chris is doing better, guess we will know tonight.

Isn't It Ironic That Many People Now Wish That Many of the Things China is Making Would Actually Be Made in Mexico?

let me think of a few advantages to having mexico do more manufacturing for us:.

- low cost labor .

- just drive around or jump over the wall to see family and friends.

truthlover123

Well Mexico is now the third part of the new USMCA agreement and probably have to distribute to their members first However, there are enough plants in Canada and the US so as NOT to be stuck in this mess with med supplies when an issue like this strikes again. And it will be sooner rather than later.

WT study April 5 - how uplifting! How happifying! How encouraging!

by sir82 in

for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.

paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.

paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

truthlover123

Par 1 - last sentence - who are we to worship?

Who said the Jew is the anointed? How can that be when the society removed the spirit directed organization portion of the baptism Q2... why does it factor in when the anointed are on the scene, when it doesn't any other time?

what does the word appointed mean? Really? It was always inspired, not anointed before

No one questioned the downward trend - the end was coming . Now, however, we dont know or care why the numbers are increasing? CYA time.. and just to be clear, the society always indicated any women chosen, would be a sex change and all would be sexless.

Witness with Corona in the local congregation

the first witnesses with corona in the local congregation over here are reported today.. g..

truthlover123

This has been a thorn in my side... meetings, meetings - people go if they are dying without regard for others.

I can count how many times people are sitting there, coughing, sneezing - like they have a heavy smoker cough.... but because they have this new and improved cleaning schedule and supplies, everything is supposed to be ok.

Viruses dont care who they infect... just another host body - yet no matter what they are told, the meetings, god forbid, is the place to be .. shut down here totally.. streaming meetings, no service no one dayer in April, memorial up in the air

Love it

Funny Now How Nobody Is Up In Arms About Closing The Border

that applies not just in this country.

i just thought it was worth mentioning.🤔.

Where have all the skilled labourers go? If there is to be a massive workforce to produce immediate medical equipment where do they start? Who can be trained quickly enough? What machinery/technology can be re-tooled to accommodate all this activity? In WW2 the women took over the manufacturing jobs and retail workforce.. today, many are losing their jobs due to virus... but can some work? Has a call gone out to workers yet? This is a massive undertaking... and bring back the manufacturers to get our meds on stream in the west, not in the east.. this should have been done in December when they knew something big was coming. Too little, too late.

PS: there are many trained immigrants who worked for medical in their own countries before emigrating to the west.. yet many are sidelined as they were not up to "code"... retest them and bring on line to back up the first medical responders...this virus knows no boundaries...

New Audio/Visual Centre to Be Builit in Upstate NY

by truthlover123 in

put this in cover ups due to fact -- a letter was read in meeting referring to the building of this huge property.. the letter was included with another read that night.

this particular letter asked for individual publishers to send personal funds for the building of this thing.

i noticed that the closing of the request did not say " jehovah will bless " etc..... the second letter was for co expenses.. 4.50 per publisher.

Has anyone else learned of this AV memo to pubs?

Is Heavenly Jerusalem made up of 144,000 and is it God's wife or Jesus Bride? MOTHER?

by truthlover123 in

in 1957 society said real mother of christians is not an earthly organization, yet - later said gal 4:26 shows it is heavenly jerusalem but three times in revelation hj comes to earth to reside with mankind.. it is also called jerusalem above.. in isa 54:5,6 we are told ""thy maker is thy husband- he has called you as wife" (speaking of earthly jerusalem) and we are told in many scriptures that god will never forsake his wife - yet the society says it is all spiritual now.

that jerusalem has been cast off.....then 1919, the new agenda for the society is that jehovahs wife?

brought forth more children, making a new nation (anointed) who was delivered from babylon.

In 1957 society said real mother of Christians is not an earthly organization, yet - later said Gal 4:26 shows it is heavenly Jerusalem but three times in Revelation HJ comes to earth to reside with mankind.

It is also called Jerusalem above.

In Isa 54:5,6 we are told ""thy maker is thy husband- he has called you as wife" (speaking of earthly Jerusalem) and we are told in many scriptures that God will never forsake his wife - yet the society says it is all spiritual now. That Jerusalem has been cast off.....then 1919, the new agenda for the society is that Jehovahs wife? brought forth more children, making a new nation (anointed) who was delivered from Babylon. No scripture for that one.

No scripture for the next expounding thought- this remnant (144,000) from 1919, has become a part of the universal organization that is God's wife..

This makes God's woman, wife, Zion - capital of Jerusalem above with 144,000.

Then we are told, Christs bride is the New Jerusalem. How can that be?. Then to top it off, these remnants will have power over mankind but non have paid the ransom as Jesus had. They did not die for the world of mankind..

Christs bride - God's woman????? Jesus marries his MOTHER?

Have I reached this understanding correctly- the way the society has laid it out?

Just need a serious comment... I can shake my head at this one

I.B.S.A. members were witnesses of Jesus Christ.-JW`s members are witnesses of Jehovah.

by smiddy3 in

is there a difference ?

i believe so ,and a very big difference.one that harmonises with the new testament in bearing witness to jesus and his kingdom and one that amounts to a new gospel bearing witness to jehovah and his kingdom something that is condemned in the bible.. c.t.russell started the magazine called "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" and its emphasis was on bearing witness about jesus christ and his kingdom ,of course he got many things wrong ,but he was focused on jesus & his kingdom with what the new testament is all about.. j.f.rutherford in his wisdom decided to change the heading of the watchtower to " the watchtower announcing jehovah`s kingdom" a phrase / term / doctrine that is not in the new testament and takes away the importance and role that jesus christ has in bringing people to god.phil.2:9-11. nowhere in the christian greek scriptures / new testament are followers of jesus christ instructed to be witnesses of jehovah ,nowhere there is not one scripture that instructs them to do so.. however in the christian greek scriptures / new testament there are over twenty scriptures whereby christians are told to be witnesses of jesus.. and it was by divine providence that followers of christ were to be called christians .acts 11:26 , not jehovah`s witnesses.. do jw`s even know what it means " by divine providence " ?.

the jw`s use isaiah 43:10-12 an old testament scripture to justify calling themselves jehovah`s witnesses,however that was applied to the israelites back then ,did they adopt the name jehovah`s witnesses ?

Thats interesting.. did u know they are still using it? There is a myriad of properties in UK and link to Greece properties on site - someone reported it months ago... they are listed under I.B.S.A. owners with the real estate firm, their lawyers house was one up for sale along with all types of homes and apartment buildings, etc. the badge showing at the bottom of the page though was JW.ORG.....must be a billioin in sales
