  Today's WT Study: "Return to Jehovah" - Lots of Elephants in the Room

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..

  Watchtower Study 23rd August

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the subject is searching for lost sheep.

  how do the congregation view the inactive ones who no longer associate?

  not with disdain, we are told but as lost sheep “still our brothers “ it is said that god loves them and they too must do what they can to help them.. why have we strayed ?

  “The Asiatic Mind” — Watchtower 1956

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  searching instances of the word “simplify” in watchtower literature, i stumbled across this.. the asiatic mind finds it difficult to accept new ways, to simplify and to make advantageous changes.

  they fear conversion and dislike others’ offering them help.

  many continually live in a realm of unreality and refuse to face modern facts of life.

  smiddy3:

  No doubt they would have made use of Romans 2:14,15 in their reply:

  "4Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the work of the Law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them. 16This will come to pass on that day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.…""

  What Happened to VP Pence? He Was Put in Charge of the COVID Thing by Trump But Disappeared. Is He in His Basement Too?

  what happened to him?

  he was supposed to be the "covid-19 czar".

  trump made a big deal about appointing him to manage the whole process but after about a week, he disappeared.

  Just wait until he debates Kamala; she'll chop him into sushi. The guy's a hyper-religious, empty-suit, sycophantic nonentity.

  it seems like the only possibilities are women of color.

  no whites need apply.. maybe he will change his mind and ask hillary clinton?

  " I think biden will run but I would not bet on his life expectancy." I wouldn't bid against him outlving lard-ass Trump, even ceding the age disparity.

  Has any previous president failed his big test as thoroughly as Trump has these past few months?

  He rejected the advice of health experts and pushed for a rapid economic reopening, hoping for a boom leading into the election. He ridiculed and belittled measures that would have helped slow the spread of the coronavirus, including wearing face masks and practicing social distancing, turning what should have been common sense into a front in the culture war. The result has been disaster both epidemiological and economic.

  Trump is like one of those nightmare bosses -- too incompetent to do the job and won't just go away.

  Trump better watch out for what he's asking for. A good portion of his base support is among the older, more Covid-vulnerable demographic, and the virus is running rampant in many of the "red" states.

  Don't Trump's supporters get that mail-in voting works both ways? What's stopping them from padding the mail-in total as much as the Dems, assuming it's as easy as Trump insists ?
