  All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation

  by mindnumbed in

  an annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

  Don't you just love those snarky 'hit-and-run' comments some jdubs make? Stand For Pure Worship, can you show me where the word "organization" appears in the bible? Or how about the year 1914? What about 1919? Do you even know how the organization arrived at those 2 years? What was Jesus even basing his decision on? Can you show me (using the bible) where Jesus said he was going to come and inspect all religions and organizations and choose an earthly agent to communicate progressive dogma to? Did you know that your organization is guilty of false prophecy during their supposed 1919 "window of judgment?" (1914,1918,1925) Yeah, I think not. Please do yourself a favor and visit www.jwfacts.com and educate yourself.

  9:40 am They are asking people to open up their homes for field service groups. This is during the watchtower study. Louche is using the word tithe a lot. Giving your time and money is a tithe.

  "We should limit our commercial interests, otherwise we might become materialistic." – Louche

  God's will to be completed by the end of the millennium. Very casually said by Louche.

  We may have to chase away lucrative business offers that distract us from full time service.

  It's good for us not to have association with relatives who love worldly pursuits. Are our children acting worldly? Using worldly slang? Actively STEER children toward baptism. What are your children's conversations like? Can they song worldly songs by heart but not kingdom songs? Do I permit my children to play with worldly children? Do they talk only about kingdom interests?

  Help your teenagers stay separate from the world and remain holy. You don't want them to marry outside The Lord when they grow up.

  Try to reach their heart. Teach them to be DIFFERENT from Satan's world. What children need is time and more time and more time. If you love your children you will make time to talk to them about the truth.

  As an elder, Approving of marrying outside The Lord is a serious matter.

  Ultimately it is your child's decision, but you should try to talk them out of it.

  From infancy your children need to be helped to have a relationship with Jehovah.

  Paul did NOT mean to test the faith as in test the religion. We KNOW we have the true religion already

  Do not have association with "bum" witnesses.

  Lurkers and Apologists, can you please explain.....

  by DATA-DOG in

  ..from the scriptures why.... 1) material wealth is a sign of jehovah's blessing in our modern day.. 2) why jehovah blesses the growth of chicken populations, but allows active jehovah's witnesses to die in field service, or on the way to conventions, and on the way to celebrate the memorial?

  3) why jesus is not your mediator?

  bibles and a concordance only.

  it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?
