  Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

  check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

  i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

  at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

  It would make my wish come true if they studied "The Divine Plan of the Ages" or "The Finished Mystery"/

  so, harold camping has died at the age of 92. no more end of the world predictions from him.

  Kids acting in a non GB approved play?? Looks like they are running ahead of Jehovahs Chariot, plus it looks like they are having too much fun. This makes Jehovah Saaaaaddddddd.

  reading all the posts on the wt study on higher education and careers really fired me up yesterday.

  i have 2 undergraduate and 2 postgraduate degerees and a career as a result which allows me to provide well for my jw wife and son.

  i was already unhappy because after 5 or 6 weeks of not going and appearing to be making progress she went back on sunday for the second sunday in a row and as usual was away all day.

  This is yet another baby step in my exit from the Watchtowers control over my life. In the US the Mega-Millions Jackpot is up to 587 Million $. Tickets are a dollar. I think I will buy two tickets, the way I see it is, somebody has to win and no one thinks it will be them until it is. Also I am not going to miss 2 dollars.

  Is anyone else playing? If so good luck!

  Major flub in Slavery Watchtower Study Article

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you ever wonder if the watchtower writers actually read the context of their key scriptures?.

  they seem intent on perpetuating the idea that the jewish law was divine - perfect.. paragraph two asks the question "what would prompt an israelite slave to forfeit his opportunity.

  to be free?".

  Wow great catch! That is such a parallel as to how the WTS holds awakened ones hostage with their family as the collateral.

  Prepare for meetings??

  by Jen1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  do you prepare for meetings?

  if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

  in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

  You are so right about how people are judged if their WT isnt done.. MY wife always brings out if some elders wifes WT isnt studied as if that means they are worthless. When I go to the WT study, I take 5 minutes to underline random sentences just to make it look good and to keep people from bitching.

  I liked how the show Breaking Amish, shows the Amish repeatedly using the word worldly. All non Amish are caalled English, or Worldly. I watched the show with my wife and I could tell it was weird for her to see "worldly" people using the term worldly. I told her that they actually are less a part of the world than we are.
