Maybe those at that branch have the same big brother.
Who's to say which side he'll take when the time comes?

in my most recent talk, i got counseled for using some terms that were not prefered.
for example i said "new testament" rather than "the christian greek scriptures".
i also used the term "gospel", but even worse, i made reference to the "synoptic gospels" and the "gnostic gospel".. i guess i never thought of it before, but when i looked at the societies information on the matter they always say things like, "the so-called new testament..." or "the so-called synoptic gospels..." why with all the "so-called?".
A bulletin board is where the catholic papal bulls are posted.
I don't think "Bullet in board" is accurate lol.

according to this list there are 29 helpers at the moment: https://jwleaks.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/jehovahs-witnesses-governing-body-committees.jpg.
i wonder how many of these are "anointed"?
all the current seven gb members were helpers first and then appointed to be gb members.
What you have just written isn't taught by any religion, let alone JW's!
You have also given "generation" yet another new and twisted definition.
Are you on the writing committee?

That "replacements" theory was debunked and tossed out by the WT years ago. If they were replacements then the total number left on earth would stay the same or decrease.
The numbers are up 50% or more from the year 2000.
At the same time, the WT also said the new ones didn't have to be longserving - that too is an old teaching. As for fourth or sixth generation, since when does someone's choosing depend on what their great,great,great,great grandparents did 150 years ago?

i've seen this part of the agm folded in with other topics and poked around, but no really critical discussion of the implications.. .
the hermenuetics of the type/anti-type practice was a big deal to me in realizing the tatt.
i searched high and low for a rational basis for concluding that god was communicating in a type/anti-type format that wasn't special pleading and circular.
Num 23:19 God is not a mere man who tells lies,
Nor a son of man who changes his mind .
When he says something, will he not do it?
When he speaks, will he not carry it out?

i read here recently that the khs are being instructed to buy and install projector systems.. now that we've seen the launch of of tv.jw.org we can fully expect public talks to - on a monthly basis at least - be replaced by content streamed from the site to the screens in khs.. .
.
The projector recommended in the letter is a Panasonic PT-VW345N.
Go and check the retail price!!!
Where are congregations meant to find £1,000 now they have given all their cash away?

http://tv.jw.org/ is up and running.. see bro lett stumble his way through the introduction.
he really does have a good face for radio.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodmonthlyprogramming/pub-jwb_e_201410_1_video.
nice sweaty top lip at 15 mins onwards - the pressure is showing!!.
You just know that there will be a GB worshipping brother in each congregation who will now change his delivery style to be slow and patronising with over emphasised facial expressions and pointless gestures.
Imitating his idols he will think he is now an incredibly awesome speaker!
