  Has The Governing Body Ever Explained Why They View The Faithful Slave Parable As A Prophecy? What Justification Do They Give?

  by frankiespeakin in

  i don't know of any do you.

  i would think it a major leap in logic to not concider this first before expounding on it prophetically, why go thru the bother if we are missing this important link..

  did anyone else do this on sunday mornings: when i was slowly waking up i realised that i didnt want to be at the meetings anymore, my hubby would be sleeping and i realised it was time to get up & get ready, so even though i was bursting for the loo i would hold it so as not to wake him up .

  sometimes i was in pain holding it in , but waited till it was too late to get there on time lol.

  then he would suggest going to the afternoon meeting intead and i would say i didnt like that congregation...you go hahahahaha, funny thing is he never liked going to the meetings by himself!!!

  OMG, I did this more times than I can count! We didn't have an afternoon meeting option, so if we missed the morning meeting it was all over. Pancakes and the Sunday paper, baby!

  I'd do it more often on Saturday mornings so we'd miss field service. Can you believe it, I was doing this 20 years before I finally left!

  New Light: That's what you call irony!

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read a part of the new light in the april 15 study watchtower and got one conclusion: that's what you call irony!.

  if we, readers of that magazine, said the same as written, before october 2012, it would lead to disfellowship.

  if we were invited by a comite, and we would say the same, we would be disfellowshipped for live and for eternal life!!!!

  Did Russell Believe Anything Witnesses Do Now?

  by konceptual99 in

  this weeks wt study got me thinking as to if there was anything major that pre 1914 bible students believed that would be accepted by modern day witness.. as far as i can tell, they throught:.

  1 - the last days had started in 1799.

  2 - christ's presence had stated in 1874.

  In my former (yay!) congregation's territory there was a house where a family of Russelites lived. We had it marked as a DNC because they were apostates.

  The July 15 Watchtower and all its new light is only...

  by sosoconfused in

  making people cling to the organization more.

  when i found out it was up i told so many people frantically that there is a new study article up and that it had so many changes.

  my mother started crying saying how happy she is to be a part of an organization that is truly directed by jehovah... only the true faithful and discreeet slave could have such insight.... another person began to say how great it is to see the celestial chariot on the move.. .

  Even if the R&F are happily swallowing right now, I'll bet many of them are faking it.

  Back in 1995 when the first of the noo lite on "generation" came out, my first reaction was that it was a maneuver, but I swallowed it anyway. All the same, my skepticism had been ignited. Eventually it turned into a roaring inferno and I left in disgust.

  So, don't give up just yet, SSC. It may take time, but some of the sheep will eventually be posting on this board and saying that the thing that got the apostate ball rolling for them was the F&DS noo lite.

  when i was bringing my daughter back to her mother's house two elders stopped me and told me they wanted to talk.

  i said i didn't have time, they asked me if i wanted to stop by the kh on saturday to talk to them.

  i said i didn't have time.

  How on earth did they ambush you? Were they on a stakeout?

  Would you believe I actually did that with my elder husband once? He asked me to come with him early one morning, but he couldn't tell me why. He just wanted my observations. We parked in a residential area and just sat there. I asked him what I was looking for, but he said he couldn't tell me. After a while we left. Years later told me that the elders suspected one of the publishers of fornication and he was trying to catch them coming out of a particular house.

  No more big District Conventions?

  so i went to the hall today for a funeral and took a look at the bulletin board.

  i was surprised to see a letter stating the dc for michigan would be held at the local assembly hall instead of the big convention center in ohio where it had been held the past few years.

  have you all heard about this?.

  Yep, that religion had balls.

  You're right, LG. Back then they wanted publicity to advertise the king and his kingdom: "We're here. Get used to it." Now it's more like they want to fly under the radar. Wonder why?

  I don't think it's been called a "bulletin board" for 35 or 40 years.

  LOL! "Bulletin board" went out with "back call" and "rendezvous." That happened just after my family started attending in 1972.

  here is just one of many example's of the nutty crap on the jw talk discussion forum.

  there's another much crazier one about how a sister is in the "new system" and is talking to all of the animals and how they're not eating each other anymore including whales etc.

  i will post it when i have more.

  LOL! That gave me fresh reason to hate country music.

  Speaking of time, how much of his valuable spare time did he spend on writing, arranging, and producing that song that he could have spent in field service? Hmmmmmmmm?
