10% Way Through 1000 year reign

by Coded Logic in

not sure if anyones posted on this topic, but it just hit me that if jesus thousand year reign started in 1914 then we are already 10% way though and no "sign of the end" yet.

can the wtbts really hold out much longer?

are we going to have to wait for 3014 for them to admitt they got it wrong?.

Apognophos The deceased anointed from previous years (back to the beginning) were also all raised up in 1914.

Does this mean they have been inspected and approved already then?
I thought that was still future?

In what KM or literature were JW's told to not put the WT logo on podium or buildings?

by Wasanelder Once in

in the 80's it became a trend to put the wt logo on the front of the speakers podium where others put a cross.

i always hated that and spoke against it to the body of elders.

i shut up and it was put there anyway untill a km came down that said not to do it.

The new God's Kingdom Rules! purple book, just released at the 2014 DC makes reference to an old wt book.
Page 105 says about the pins they used to all wear: "Cross-and-crown pins are idols - Preparation, 1933, page 239"

Here's the quote from Preparation (1933) p.239

"This prophecy means that 'idols of silver and gold' (Ps. 115 : 4), that is, by engaging in commerce or commercial enterprises to become rich while in the service of God, must be cut off; also idols of creature worship, such as worshiping a leader who is dead, and the worshiping of prominent brethren or of clergymen or of "elective elders" or leaders ; and all idols of character development and foolish hobbies, such as the pyramid of Egypt, chronology, tabernacle in the wilderness, cross-and crown pins, and all like things, must be cut off and put away."

This principle of idolatry should also apply to the blue squares which are popping up everywhere.

by BucketShopBill in

i pulled up the notes from one of the more weird judical committe topics, this is the garbage your elders had to handle!.

the mind games played by one of the elderettes come's to mind, she was speaking to a sister that was suffering from severe anxiety and helped our depressed sister draw the conclusion that "sister depressed's husband is trying to poisoning her!

" off goes this once pretty and smart woman, she went to college and got her license to draw blood because she wanted to test it for arsenic and polonium (around the time that russian guy got off ed by vladimir putin).

As an appointed elder at 25, a 50 year old ms asked me if it was OK for his wife to give him oral.

I assumed he meant in the privacy of his own home and not right here at the hall, so I told him to go for it but don't broadcast it.

I never really understood why anyone would ask about this sort of thing to a relative stranger.

Quick, answer this question: What was the meaning behind: MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE?

by Terry in

pay attention to what you are told, and how it is presented.. what is the actual message being communicated?

what is the intention behind it?.

this 128-page book millions now living will never die, was placed with the people on a contribution of 25c a copy.. .

Splash

In 1920 there were approximately 25,000 attending the memorial and partaking.

Who exactly were these 'millions' that the book speaks about?

I got asked THE QUESTION !!

by Tech49 in

a little experience that happened very recently:.

another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.

they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.

Apognophos Sorry, that's wrong.

I stand corrected.

w13 July "It is noteworthy that in Jesus’ illustration, the faithful and discreet slave receives two distinct appointments. The first is over the domestics; the second is over all the master’s belongings."

Those two distinct appointments are so clear from Jesus words. The first in 1919 and the second yet future.
I don't know how I missed that!

BIG CHANGE IN THE WIND?

by The Searcher in

following on from this post - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/282716/1/is-this-the-big-change - my info is that the service meeting items next week are to be reduced by 5 minutes each to allow the cobe to present the secret item to the flock!.

also, no one, not even the cobe knows what the subject matter is yet.. everyone here should be ashamed of themselves for making the glorious ones in brooklyn more secretive than opus dei or the freemasons!!

:).
