  New teaching =There was no "Faithful slave" for 1900 years until Charles Russell!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  shocking video from jw.org shows the "new light" that there was no slave class handing out spiritual food for 1900 years!!

  so the original governing body became apostate and fell apart.

  charles russell re-started the faithful slave even though the watchtower admits he learned everything he ever knew from the "second adventists".

  C.T.Russell died in 1916 so missed being appointed as part of the Faithful Slave in 1919.

  He proclaimed himself as THE faithful slave but the current GB have tossed him aside as nothing more than a wannabe.

  Million Euro Scandal in Spain

  http://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/vida/testigos-jehova-agujero-empresarial-galicia_69908_102.html.

  the jehovah’s witnesses leadership (in northern spain) requested that a local material supplier (owned by rank-and file jws) not divulge that a million euros are unaccounted for.

  the cult leadership requested peace from the congregation so as to put pressure on the material company’s owners (who are jws) and thereby avoid any possible litigation.. this case affects a well-known construction supply company with its headquarters in a large northern city.

  WT pressuring a victim to not seek legal redress but rather take it on the chin and cover up a possible crime?

  There's nothing new under the sun.

  It's a different story when WT are owed money. They'd stampede over their own grandmothers to get the creditors into court.

  "viewing child pornography is not considered to be child abuse"
  

  That is just the most insane, reprehensible and indefensible statement i have ever seen from the WT.

  To even think it's something suitable to be put down in writing shows how far from human compassion and good sense the WT has fallen, in its deluded and arrogant attempt to micro manage people's consciences on something so dangerous.

  I am honestly dumbfounded.

  what is the exact live streaming site for the arc today in sydney?

  i hope someone or more here will be watching and giving info/quips throughout the case.

  also, will someone here or elsewhere be able to 'save' a video of this (all or part).

  I'd also like to see a bulletted list of all the things Spinks said he appreciated being pointed out, will take onboard, take note of, make sure to add etc.

  Essentially this would be a list of all the areas even their latest (2 day old) policy document fails to be sufficient.

  I think someone needs to re-watch this and bullet point all the lies told.

  If they removed the rule on shunning disassociated ones, within a week their membership would plummet.

  It was interesting to hear that they are planning on reissuing a new elders book because of all the changes they have to make. Seems Satan's organisation is running ahead of God's organisation when it comes to kindness, justice, mercy and compassion.

  Also that they are working on a letter for handling abuse cases in the UK. Maybe this is why they cut the wt and awake magazines down by 75%, for all the child abuse documents they now need to print.

  O'Brien getting to WT's main concern now, can WT reduce the number of claims against them for the purpose of redress.

  It's all about the dollar.

  This doublespeak from Spinks about not shunning those who leave may work on jw's but Stewart and McClellan have seen right through it.

  Spinks will literally tell the ARC anything they want to hear.

  How can something be policy if it's not in their policy?

  This policy document that has taken 2 years to write and has still not been released (will it really ever be?) has been discredited as vague and factually incorrect within 30 minutes of examination. This is what happens when unqualified, insular men think they can do without true experts.

  And that's before they discuss the two witness rule.......

  What is the basis for advising “Don’t pursue higher studies”?

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  two elders who visited my friend last week encouraged her not to pursue higher studies.

  it seems they are dishing out the same old stuff: “the end is imminent, and this is the time to do more in the service; hence don’t waste your resources on higher studies.”.

  i wonder whether there was some official communiqué (something that is sent out recently like letter to the elders, or kingdom ministry article …).

  As OrphanCrow correctly states, the teaching stems from over one hundred years ago:

  w1910 March 1, p. 84-85
  "we have more than once called attention to in these columns, that the spread of education, and increase of wealth, are not tending to make mankind happier, holier or more content, but rather the reverse."

  
  

  It was most recently reiterated last year:

  w16 June p.21 para. 14 Jehovah Our God Is One Jehovah
  "Or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain "great things," such as through the pursuit of higher education."

  
  

  However this does not prevent the WT from reading letters to the congregations asking for highly educated and degree qualified lawyers, or from having doctors, dentists, architects, pilots and fund managers at Bethel.
