  Just taking a look at those locations.

  I bet it's nicer to sit outside beside a fountain with nearby pedestrians to engage with than it is to sit indoors overlooking a quiet car park.

  Seems like a pleasant way to spend some time!

  which parts of the publications are the innacurate words of 'just imperfect men', and which parts are the inerrant words from the mouthpiece of jehovah on earth?.

  how can you trust that you are being given correct information?

  Zoos compare the teachings of God's mouthpiece from 2015 to the mouthpiece of 1925. It's not even the same religion.

  I recently told an elder that if there are any more doctrinal changes then we'll all need to get baptised again.

  does an still active jws know if the baptism questions have changed to reflect their recent eagerness to baptize young children?

  or do they cajole the kids through the 80 or so questions, not expecting right answers?.

  i was never baptised, so i don't know the old drill or if there is a new one.. thanks.. my auto correct doesn't know there were 80 questions!.

  The questions were at the back of the Organise book.

  Now that book has been replaced it will be good to see which questions have changed.

  Jan 2016 study WT attempt to keep control of professed anointed ones, brainwashing in action!

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  a really great example of wt pulling doctrine out of their heiney that nowhere exists in the scriptures!

  when i started waking up to ttatt, i remember in my own reading the tons of scriptures that speak of god, the holy spirit, etc teaching directly.

  tons of scriptures that go against the wt doctrine of only able to learn through them.

  Blatant and appalling.

  Thank you for bringing out yet another example of the GB twisting scripture in order to try to keep their position of power over everyone.

  Another Resolution

  has anyone on the board been at the recent meeting where they are asking for more money to help out the co's, insurance and health and travel??

  this is supposed to go into a general fund???

  they can use it for anything they want..... oh, and also, if you can give more, it would help as many congregations may not be able to give - based on number of pubs in each cong.

  Squeeeeeeeeeeeeze every last drop out of them.

  What next, a Special Pioneers shoe fund? Oh, but just call it worldwide work.

  “Beware of the scribes who want to walk around in robes and want greetings in the marketplaces and front seats in the synagogues and the most prominent places at evening meals. They devour the houses of the widows and for show they make long prayers. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
