  Ann,

  All this within the same magazine that writes about no more types and antitypes. Someone inside Bethel is laughing all the way to the bank.

  One of my brothers actually has 5 years of college. Granted that his career, architecture, is very technical and is not necessarily a preparation to spot watchtoweresque B.S., you would think that he is not the kind of guy the watchtower would trap in the cult. But he joined the religion when he was over 40 and today he is deep inside, so deep that even though he knows about many of Rutherford's "shortcomings", he uses as a defense that he believes in the Bible, that Jehovah used Rutherford, despite all his faults, to guide the spiritual Israel, that the name JW's, and that the preaching work are proof of his religion being the true religion. Oh my, the power of cults!

  This WT writer must have written this article under duress from the GB.

  The interpretation of Matthew 25:36-45 is so conspicuously twisted that sometimes I feel that closet apostates write this stuff to cause JW's to awaken, serving thus a double purpose:

  • flattering the megalomaniacs in the governing body, who in turn keep the writers in their jobs,
  • writing outrageously corrupted interpretations of the bible to awaken the few that are not complete zombies

  HOW DOES THE ILLUSTRATION EMPHASIZE THE PREACHING WORK? Matthew 25:31-46

  8 In the illustration of the sheep and the goats, Jesus does not directly mention the preaching work. Why, then, can it be said that it emphasizes the importance of preaching? 9 First, note that Jesus is teaching by means of an illustration. Obviously, he is not talking about separating literal sheep

  from literal goats. Likewise, he is not saying that each individual judged to be a sheep must literally feed, clothe, nurse or visit one of his brothers in prison. Rather, he is illustrating the attitude that the figurative sheep display toward his brothers. He describes the sheep as “righteous” because they recognize that Christ has a group of anointed brothers still on earth, and the sheep loyally support the anointed during these critical last days.—Matt. 10:40-42; 25:40, 46; 2 Tim. 3:1-5. Therefore, one of the primary ways that those judged to be sheep show kindness to Christ’s brothers is by supporting them [anointed brothers] in the preaching work.

  The official requirement for salvation in the latest WT, nothing to do with Jesus......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "those with the earthly hope who supported christs brothers in the preaching work will have been judged as sheep and will be granted the privilege of living in the earthly realm of the kingdom.

  " 3/2015 study wt learn from illustration of talents par 13.. so there you have it, to get salvation you need to only obey the gb and if you obey and worship the gb, then you will be judged as a sheep.

  truly those who listen and obey, will be blessed!.

  ADCMS,

  Sounds like the 20 K a day is an exaggeration. Can you give me some context? I have been away from conventions for 3 years. The latest figures I remember are about 3 k for a 2 day circuit convention with about 1,500 attendees. Has inflation in JW's world been that high?

  Crysto Jesus,

  I take my previous comment back. Please don't try to convert JW's to your religion. I doubt is any better.

  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  by Hidden-Window in

  2. friends

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  Atheist at 12 or 13 (I am 49). So I never thought there was such a thing as a "true religion", however, I went from believing that the WT leaders were sincere and good people to my present position: they are dishonest, arrogant and manipulative. I credit the internet for my learning TTATT and many things related to it, such as history of Judaism and Christianity, ancient history, cults. I give it a big 10.

  2. friends

  i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

  keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

  not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

  Since my elderly mother & aunt had to drive 50 miles to attend the Zone Meetings

  Same story in my area. WT sells multimillion dollar property near the dubs, then buys multi thousand dollar land for convention hall 60 or 70 miles away. WT makes money turning over real estate while dubs have to donate more money and increase their expenses just to make it to the convention, Not to mention the extra pollution added to the planet.

  Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

  by Perry in

  2. beliefs

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  No problem here with a God of order, but not the Christian god of disorder who suspends order and laws to attend to Perry's personal requests. Plllllllease!
