"The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

by smiddy in

that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

" "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

Island man: a coup?

Imagine Br. Loesch entering angrily the Writing Department "Good morning!! "What the gehenna, scuse, do you heck out guys with that comment?" holding the Februar Watchtower in his hand and waving it.

"Good morning too, its only facts nothing new at all or personal bro, dont you remember the Watchtower from 1992? Nothing new, its like a portion new light if you like so, feeding the need of thursty ones, so what, its our job, didnt you say we shall accept the new light project as ours and not a project of the GB. Besides everything is reviewed with the chair of the GB, bro Jackson, so what?"

"Aaah ya, you say it, but "doctrine" was it already mentioned before? I just thought about the consequences. Its like the committees come up with everything and decide everything and not as we would be the Guardians of doctrine. What is quite true because we see us as moderators and work together in the household, but so ... it could shrink our authority and the weight of our writings as a whole. Its not good to surrender control.

But if you have reviewed the text with Bro. Jackson.. then okay... Its because you guys just before short time have come up - inspired by my friend Splane of course - with this new 1914 light, and I could hardly ingest it, you guys should shrink your phantasy a little bit, think of all of us in the household and not hinder the ecclestical power of the slave, otherwise the watchtower has no authority over me anymore, for years I have been saying this and nobody seems to listen.

"Nobody can delay the change of the time and of the fallible, thats the truth, bro. We have to accomodate our doctrine and directives to the needs of the good news not only by relocations, but also change of directives".

"Thats something for the young ones, Good bye and bless you Jehovah".

Could this be the reason for one day assemblies

by Sour Grapes in

last saturday i sat through the one day assembly and i waited for the anticipated accounts report.

for one day the costs were $10,000.

even my wife questioned why the costs are so high and why don't they give a break down on the costs?

TheWonderofYou

I never heard before that before the conventions the responsible accounting assembly elders and circuit overseers have to fill out and report the awaited income of the convention to the society (e.g. $ 10,- per attendent x number of attendent would be for a small circuit 10x500=5000 $) and send that paper already as debt to the mother before the convention even had started.

Quote "The society actually charges a per publisher rate for every circuit assembly they (the overseers of the convention) will garantee (the society) that a certain amount of money will be generated."

The circuit overseer has a form and fills out the numbers and reports it to the HQ before the convention even starts, or not (do I understand that right, if not please correct me and I will repent)?

Furthter is interesting that on local level everyhting is reported but the big conventions and worldwide report is always missed.

This sounds like the society is very GREEDY or thinks it is worthy to receive the best and that as fastest as only possible.

TheWonderofYou

Sad. I didnt have family in the truth so it was quite easy to leave, I didnt have to return, I simply didnt go there. Thats really sad to hear what those nice sisters go through.

Sheep and the Goats - The Light Gets Brighter

by nmthinker in

perhaps some of you remember a new understanding of the sheep and the goats in the epic march 2015 wt study edition - specifically the article "loyally supporting christ's brothers".. while this article was studied many months ago, it was instrumental in helping me wake up.

during my study of the 2015 article i recalled that we had just revised our understanding of the sheep and the goats a few years ago and this caused me to research the real progression of the jw understanding of this parable.

i put the results of my research in an excel spreadsheet.. .

I was surprised what appeared at 3:00. Its somehow nice.

Another Subliminal Image? On the JW Website

by The Searcher in

jw
friends

this image appears on the current main web page - as you scroll the "witnessing" photos.. weird "facial" image at the guy's right shoulder.. .

TheWonderofYou

Hiob? Perhaps he was the person who approved this 4 color print with the UN cover on it, because he wasnt aware how dangerous it could be.

Although UN was never our enemy but only helps us to gain and establish civil rights as religious minority.

How Detached Are The Governing Body From Members Of the Bethel Family Where They Live?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

well consider for a moment the layoffs at bethel?

the gb simply reassigned them out in the field for after many years of service it seems with out batting an eye with no real severance pay.

now to me that spells detachment and lack of any real concern for those who served loyally for years.. spain is trying to get some type benefits for the people/citizens in their country who served the wt corporation for years and are no longer of any use to the corporation.

TheWonderofYou

It's the system, where the organisation aka the "company" itself is worth to get donated financilly everything, even heritages from everybody....and likewise is allowed to gain financially from everything imagineable

It's the system, where human manpower is excluded from gaining financial benefit from working for the "company.

The company therefore is comparable to a holy cow of JW, the Rolls-Royce of God, the holy vehicle used for the preaching work. You need this car but you cant gain profit personally from it.

You have to buy this "God's Rolls-Royce" for 2 billion $ (or monthly part payments) and because it is God's, it is worth nearly everything you possess, even your mothers heritage you would give.

But then you would simply ride around in it dressed as a poor pioneer with some allowence money in your pocket and look that someone offered you a cup of cold water in the service or when you hold a talk. Also you would hope that someone would help you if you are older or ill and cant afford the monthly rates for the God's Car or image, you cant drive anymore because you cant hold the wheel! [thats when the car layes you off]

You could make road-shows with this car, even impress girls with it, you could sleep in it, pimp it up with "Kingdom come", ...but .... you can never sell it and have a little personal benefit, its because it is reserved for God's holy ongoing roundtrip.

And thats the worst: You cant even rent it out and then pay with the money your insurance for the retirement. How will you continue your journey? (quote:Rolls Royce)

You only pay for it all the time and impress with it."How magnificient our Car is, its a sign of blessing is it not?"

What a crazy life-style!

In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls

by processor in

according to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.

it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.

thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.

I simply looked for the entrance, here is another view.

Song 146 - You did it for me

by Listener in

the watchtower 1970 4/1 emphasis the principle that singing at the kingdom hall is part of worship to god and is one of the most beautiful ways they can show this worship to him.. of all the ways in which we can worship and praise jehovah god—by prayer, by public talks, by our field ministry and by our exemplary conduct—one of the most beautiful of them is this literal singing of songs to jehovah’s praise....and, above all, let us pay more than usual attention to the words.

it is by the words that we worship jehovah god, bringing praise to him.

as an introduction to song 146, jw org states -jesus considers any act of love and support for his anointed brothers as though it were done for him.

TheWonderofYou

Yes, Jesus speaks of a reward for the help you offered to his missionaries.

Albeit he says what would be sufficient for a reward (repayment):

- its enough that you comfort the missionaries .....(but not if they suffer persecution for dumb errors of doctrine and organizational direction)

- its enough that you receive the missionaries .....(but not that you donate all your savings and voluntary time to build expensive mansions or Headquarters.)

- its enough that you give them a cup of cold water (not monthly payings for lifelihoods in bethel)

Jesus speaks of acts of help done.... in case of need.... to every prophet .....and every righteous brother .....and every little disciple ....not of a blind obidience..... to a dozen self-anointed.... prophets, a dozen righteous brothers, a dozen little ones who form a clique and call themselves "steward"

Dont let you cheat that there are some closer to him brothers, that are stewards.

JW want to read "Whoever works fulltime for my steward because he is a stewardbrother, will receive a jackpot steward's award", what is certainly a possibilty but not the main purpose of his words.

Many have been layed off by the stewardbrother, what will be their stewards's reward?
