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.

the honorable mr reyes, manitoba minister, man o man, lets his wife, a nurse, shovel out the driveway after her 12 hour shift at the hospital, so she can park her car.

sir.

where did you learn such behaviour?
truthlover123

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 in
1. jw
2. friends
a 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..
truthlover123

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.

want to see a great movie on netflix: try.

"the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society".

Excellent movie
For a good Series - Lupin - if you like drama
watched a lot of imported series - Hinterland, Bordertown, Line of Duty -
Cannot locate Longmire anymore- western - but not old western, and of course Wentworth for those who enjoy australian tv series
You could say Netflix is my network to watch most times

Need help...Resurrection JW beliefs from the 50'6 and 60's.

was talking with a gal that is most likely going back to the religion after 20 or 30 years.

we got into a discussion about having babies after "armageddon ".

she was talking about being normal ( she is practically bedridden but only in her 50's.

I thought the children of God were the anointed! Am I wrong in this assumption? If so, there are more than 144,000 in the resurrection.... SInce the NEW Testament is supposed to be written for those anointed and being specifically called the children of God, where does the other sheep fit in if they are to be resurrected?
If their sins (other sheep) are gone, being resurrected, are they are pure and anointed? (since death erases all sin)

i have a question.. have every member of the governing body (past and present) been american citizens?.

while i understand that some may have been born outside of the us, ultimately to serve in the world hq long term, i imagine that they all had to become 'americans'?.

no zombie.

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost in

2. bible
so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.

a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

OMG! I have had a lot of these questions too and this is so funny... never made sense to me.. its a scripture the society has never expounded on.....
Feels nice to have a good laugh in the middle of the day! Stay safe!
