  Meaning of Luke 9:49,50

  by truthlover123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  these two verses indicate that "others" were preaching in jesus' name and when the apostles reported it to him, he said "let him alone for he who is with us is not against us".... since the wtbts states they are the only way to salvation, what does this scripture mean?

  others have the right to salvation as well - straight from jesus' mouth- as long as they preach ( in the verse it says expel demons as well) using jesus name?

  God's Wife

  by truthlover123 in

  according to scripture, god has a wife -israel.

  he is her husband/husbandly owner.. the nation was cast off but jehovah said he would never leave israel.

  that being said, jesus spoke of israel as a spiritual nation and the 144,000 to be picked from both israel and the nations (to fulfill the number) who were to be king priests with him.

  Costs Associated with a Regular Size smaller rink Assembly Public Owned

  by truthlover123 in

  just came from the one day -- like to call it that cause everything is a changin.... this question would be directed to someone who worked in accounts for an assembly of maybe 1700 in attendance (recently) in a small town, about 2 hours from a main city.

  the accounts report was read and it was a stunner..... i guess i could call the location and see how much it costs to rent this arena for a day and see but i was wondering why would they send a large amount of monies to the wt and say we are short on contribution???.

  anyb ody know - i do know about monies going for child abuse court problems they are having - latest one in canada where there us a class action suit being brought by trey bundy... plus the so called out of court settlements worldwide.. arc, britain, etc...so i know that end of it - just wondering why they are sucking /lying to support the www... .

  CT Russell & Rutherford

  by truthlover123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have been reading of the personal histories of both these "men", to say the least, my eyes just about fell out of their sockets.

  knowing what is going on in the org today, i can see how the apple does not fall far from the tree -- russell and rutherford both were involved in pyramid schemes, fraudulent activity & using people, their names, their money to obscure businesses, which all are on public record, mostly in usa..... just to build the empire from the peoples pulpit to the wtbts - russell did not just scam just about everyone he came into contact with, he tried to defraud his x out of her legal home, which the courts clearly recognized and put the words right in their court report - fraud!!

  the glossed over "spiritual , gave his life for the truth" crap that the org says russell did and was, is such a pile of bs.... russell even had the "colporters" hawking for businesses other than spiritual and using the names of peoples pulpit and later wtbts while they did it... he was fully engaged in the late 1800's and early 1900's in up to 6 businesses, gold, leather, real estate.... etc.

  The New Balloons-Will Hook Up Internet to the Remotest of Villages!

  by truthlover123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my name has changed from truthover, i guess because i haven't been on as much, however, last week the big news report was that these "balloons" would go higher than the satelites and would beam the internet into all the huts and villages around the world that are not connected.

  just throwing it out there, what will that do to the 3rd world countries where, according to the ww report, the growth is for the wt?

  once they are online and can do their own research as in north america, for example, do you think there will be growth or disaster for the society?looking at that report, growth was lowest in educated areas of the world, while big in 3rd world coutries and if you look at the number of hours preached vs the nbr baptized, the percentage rate is terrible, very slow growth, baptisms have not changed for years and are around the 250,00 per year mark while the pub grow slowly, yet looking at baptized ones and add that nbr to the average pubs last year vs ave pub this year, , there is still about 100,000 missing and that is not due to death.. your comments pls... thanks tl.
