by ZAPPA-ESQUE inpretoria [ south africa] - an unusual urgent application served before the gauteng high court this week,in which a lyttelton manor resident, who said he is was known as the “anointed one” among jehovah’s witnesses, asked the court to officially swear him in as the worldwide leader of the organisation.. ernest gericke, in papers before the court, told judge bill prinsloo that the “first business of the christ is the legal establishment of the kingdom of god on earth, known as the jehovah’s kingdom.” .
gericke said this involved the the conducting of a covenant for a kingdom, which is to take place on april 11. .
“in order to effect the legal requirements for the kingdom this honourable court is requested to hear the public oath of the office of the king.

The organisation is in a real flow, in which it applies the financial rules that are known common under bankers. Besides the professional management of assets, they forget that in economics there has always been a basic rule, to act fair with all partners.
With such exploitation of the members where the profit remains at one happy smiling side, and the donators are happy to bear the operating costs with their dontations but exclusion of profits and of co-decision, it is an unfair game perhaps comparable with even things like usury or gombeen. The members are the renters.
usury - the practice of making unethical or immoral monetary loans that unfairly enrich the lender.
The First Council of Nicaea, in 325, forbade clergy from engaging in usury[13] (canon 17). At the time, usury was interest of any kind, and the canon forbade the clergy to lend money at interest rates even as low as 1 percent per year. Later ecumenical councils applied this regulation to the laity.[13][14]

18. We are preaching the good news with the latest multimedia techniques and possess the coolest bible study aids like JW bread-cast, WOLibraray, specialized educational tools in Braille and for minority languages as well as our conventions, with which we finance a lot.
19. Although we are also imperfect and err we try to apologize and always correct our ways and teachings as soon we learn that something doesnt fit.
20. We have an theorically unmanageable large number of legal entities who nevertheless all follow one direction under one lord and one faith.
21. We have the best renovations program for halls and place of worship.
22. We have relief programs and are able to organise fast international help.
23. We have the most beautiful religious headquarter of all religions, it was built although it looked like the town government wouldnt give the allowance for the project, because it was unbelievable what we tried.
24. We are supporting a health system that protects peoples right to avoid blood that is dangerous.
25. Our education of children is the best because it relies on principle that are proofed by the bible. Our mothers are mostly with the children and dont work because they have part time job.
26. Going from house to house and in the street service we try to help people if they need help.
27. Our leaders are not idle and proud but take themselves part in the preaching and donate money from the little compensation that they receive for their service for others who need help.
28. We have a worldwide network of lawyers with which we are able to support implementation of human rights for religious minorites. We are assisting the UN-Human rights activities and the European OSCE work for peace and security because we are the best citizens one can imagine.

Jehovah's Witnesses Knocking at my Front Door
by Richlist ini have jw's knocking on my door about 4 times a year.
they walk along the whole street knocking on all the properties trying to hand out leaflets about god.. i always engage them in conversation.
my street has a very large number of oap's who could really do with some extra help.....grass cutting, shopping, cleaning, help around the house, gardening, diy etc.. never once have i been able to persuade any jw's to do something worthwhile for these residents.. i'm left with the thought that jw's don't want to do anything really worthwhile for these people.......why ?.

"the good news is proclaimed to the poor".
How it works: If you come to us you get many friends and you will really enjoy your life, by living much simplier and much poor than now and then you will get an appointement to serve voluntarily and unpaid to proclaim this message to other poor. The poor are ready to give from what the dont have, thats the strength of the poor.

Well, apostates are not the big problem any longer, now everybody awaits to hear of some gossip or embarrassment or even scandal, of some chilling, thrilling, dirty no-matter-what -affairs. Its not about stubborness, simple errors, no, no far wrong.
Yeah, now the time comes, when krass imperfection will appear soon clearly on the surface. It will hit us unpresedentedly and unawaitedly. It could even be spiritual "foooornication", cognisance, complicity ... slowly but inevitable the watchtower prophesized it will appear on the surface.
If the watchtower says "may surface" it is quite certain or is it not!
Its judgmentment time, cleansing time in gods house full of imperfection, now its time to confess, admit and repent hahaha.
the judicial committees will get crowed - overcrowded. The system of hearings and repetance may even collaps There one's loyality will be proved.

Already my short answer shows that it was not a conspiracy by the early first century church or later to give up the Sabbath but that it was based on the understanding that the breaking up of the wall to the Gentiles meant also consequently not to load unto them the Sabbath.
At the same time the christian practice to celebrate the first day of the week got common, (If this was already at the beginning everywhere a weekly Lordsupper on Sunday is another question or if this derived from the domenical Easterfestival and later got celebrated weekly) ..
Already the new testament passages show as we know that on the first day of the week they met and broke the bread. Acts 13,27 shows that the apostels visited the temple on Sabbath to comment the texts that were read and to preach Jesus Christ. In some places there was a brotherly partnership and both days were held. But very early both days were distinguished. This was primarly a reaction to the jewish christians who inclined to hold the Mosaic law. .....
This all happened long before anybody intended or thought of making of this first day and celebration of the resurrection a "sunday-rest"-day, however to impose the jewish sabbath-rest to the gentiles, that was perhaps a wish of jewish christians but certainly not of the whole church.
Justin (burn about 100 A.D) explained the reason why Christians ignored the Jewish laws in a dialog with the Jew Trypho. (an antijewish apology)
Dialog with Trypho
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/justinmartyr-dialoguetrypho.html
"We live not after the law, and are not circumcised in the flesh as your forefathers were, and do not observe sabbaths as you do…. An eternal and final law — namely, Christ — has been given to us…. He is the new law, and the new covenant…. The new law requires you to keep perpetual sabbath, and you, because you are idle for one day, suppose you are pious, not discerning why this has been commanded you…. If there is any perjured person or a thief among you, let him cease to be so; if any adulterer, let him repent; then he has kept the sweet and true sabbaths of God."
In Justin’s view, the Sabbath command was an admonition to morality, and Christians, by behaving morally on every day, were in perpetual obedience to the purpose of the Sabbath.
Justin repeatedly said that the patriarchs Abel, Enoch, Lot, Noah and Melchizedek, “though they kept no Sabbaths, were pleasing to God…. For if there was no need of circumcision before Abraham, or of the observance of Sabbaths, of feasts and sacrifices, before Moses; no more need is there of them now.”23 Justin argued that, since Sabbaths and sacrifices and feasts began with Moses, then they ended with Christ, who was the new covenant.24
Not only do Gentiles not have to keep the Sabbath, Justin concluded that “the just men who are descended from Jacob” do not have too, either. Trypho asked, Could a Christian keep the Sabbath if he wished to? Justin knew of some Jewish Christians who kept the Sabbath and replied, Yes, as long as he doesn’t try to force other Christians to keep the law of Moses.
The dialogue is formal in the tradition of the Platonic dialogues. It is equally aimed at Jews, Christians, and Gentiles. Justin of the martyrs here reflects his experiences as a missionary who, on his travels, probably disputed with Jewish scholars. The dialogue traces such an argument during the time of the Bar-Kochba insurrection and the subsequent antichrist riots. The fact that Justinus has actually led the dialogue in Ephesus and has also been converted to Christianity can not be historically proven.
Of course it could be that this Justin the Martyr, who was a philosopher and lived after John died., was an apostate.
