  Heavenly Gates Closed in 1935… Re-opened in 2007

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since 1935, the watchtower had been categorically teaching (for over 6 decades) that the heavenly calling of the 144,000 anointed christians had ceased in 1935. this teaching was especially significant to older jws (especially those who spent much of their lives serving the watchtower as pioneers, elders, missionaries, bethelites, etc.

  ) because many of these would eventually turn their attention to the aging governing body members and feel a sense of relief knowing that the end was drawing ever so near.

  in other words, as more governing body members (who were born before 1935) passed away, the closer they would get to their long-awaited reward of surviving armageddon and living on paradise earth where they would finally hug grass-eating lions near a waterfall while marveling at snow-peaked mountains in the distance.

  It's been 8 years since the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society reopened the heavenly gates. I think they're about to close it again once they replace their geriatric GB members (Losch, Herd, Turd, etc).

  Who's behind the WT / JW.org?

  by elkatire1980 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have always thought that the members of the governing body are just a decorative elements in the visible cusp of the organization.

  i have read conspiratorial topics about who really rule, but they are not visible.

  the shareholders of the corporation?

  (yawn)

  This has got to be the most underwhelming "Special Talk" in JW history...

  There is absolutely nothing "special" about it... just the same run-of-the-mill babble that can be heard from any pulpit of any religion on the planet...

  Stepping off?

  by dugout in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an ex-bethelite (now an elder in a jersey congo usa) called me the other day and opened up to me about wanting to step down, mainly because he thought he was being a bit overwhelmed.

  he mentioned that he spoke to the co about it and some of the socalled friends in the congo .

  they put him on this guilt trip.

  Tell him to read Ephesians 2:8,9 and Galatians 6:4,5... That should reduce his "guilt" somewhat...

  Emblem Takers Mentally Unstable?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  onthewayout wrote: of course, for quite awhile (and probably still), congregations have been viewing any relatively young (maybe under 50 or even 60) partakers as mentally unstable and watchtower ignores such people anyway and says they must listen to the elders.

  is this correct?

  ever since the emblem-takers were given emeritus status as members of the faithful and discreet slave, have they been relegated to standard membership?

  if they believe that partakers are mentally unstable, then they shouldn't be serving alcohol to them... just saying...

  If you are having problems or lacking joy, then the flow of Holy Spirit in your life is lacking!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  yes, this comment was just made by the speaker today!:.

  "if you find that you are lacking in joy or experiencing problems in life, this is evidence that jehovah's spirit is lacking or being blocked in your life".

  i sat there thinking "are you kidding me brother?...

  JK...Nope.... But the human brain is powerful. It can actually cause some narcissistic people to be absolutely certain that they are "spirit annointed" or that they are special recipients of "spirit flow", etc..
