Do they own their own house? If so they can turn it over to you in return for you clearing the debts.

Regarding being prophets, the GB flip flop over this more than anything.

Recent articles saying JW's ARE prophets include:

Awake 6/8/1986 p.9 - JW's are prophets "You will be interested to learn that God has on earth a people, all of whom are prophets, or witnesses for God. In fact, they are known throughout the world as Jehovah's Witnesses."

w91 9/1 p. 29 par. 20- JW's are prophets

Still, our efforts are never in vain. Why not? Because we are advertising Jehovah’s name and Kingdom. By our preaching and by our very presence, we are warning the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:33) ["And when it comes true—look! it must come true—they will also have to know that a prophet himself had proved to be in the midst of them."]

w98 7/15 p.12 Beware of a Lack of Faith par.15 - JW's are prophets"Paul started his warning with the provisional clause "if you people listen to his own voice." God spoke to his people throughMoses and other prophets. Then, Jehovah spoke to them through his Son, Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 1:1, 2) Today, we have God’s complete inspired Word, the Holy Bible. We also have "the faithful and discreet slave," appointed by Jesus to provide spiritual "food at the proper time." (Matthew 24:45-47) Thus, God is still speaking."

w99 10/1 5 "For Everything There Is an Appointed Time" - The FDS are prophets
“For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) ... For that purpose God has authorized a “faithful and discreet slave” to provide his people with “their [spiritual] food at the proper time.”

w113/15 p. 30 par. 10 - JW's are prophets

"Like the prophet of old, the Jeremiah class has been given an assignment from the Sovereign of the universe. God’s anointed servants are thus duly authorized to make pronouncements worldwide..."

The other removal of "20th Century" was from the Revelation Climax book:

Changed from: Revelation Climax (1988) chap. 34 p. 246 par. 1

The John class today also wonders with great wonderment as events unfold in fulfillment of the prophetic vision. If people of the world could see it, they would exclaim, ‘Incredible!’ and the world’s rulers would echo, ‘Unthinkable!’ But the vision becomes a startling 20th-century reality.

Changed to: Revelation Climax (1996) chap. 34 p. 246 par. 1

The John class today also wonders with great wonderment as events unfold in fulfillment of the prophetic vision. If people of the world could see it, they would exclaim, ‘Incredible!’ and the world’s rulers would echo, ‘Unthinkable!’ But the vision becomes a startling reality in our day.

NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER

by The Searcher in

here's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.

it may be far more significant than many people realise!.

and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

Also, I don't see here mention of CT Russell being the John the Baptiser class. That's new too.

Am I correct in thinking there's another reversal:

• WT 07 1/1 said the 1st resurrection began between 1914-1935 and some resurrected ones are communicating truths to the GB. The new teaching is that this resurrection will not occur until they are judged and appointed over all his belongings in the future.

Help needed: JC standards/questions for "Drunkenness"

by respectful_observer in

i'm hoping those of you in the jwn community may be able to help me out.

an acquaintance (of legal drinking age) may soon be sitting for jc under the charge of "drunkenness".. to those of you who have direct experience either serving on a jc, or being the subject of a jc related to the misuse of alcohol:.

- could you provide a list of questions that were asked of the accused?.

Was he on medication at the time which may have reacted to a small amount of alcohol?

The Truth about Eve...... is there more to the story, and has it been hidden by religion ?

by *lost* in

i get the feeling that there is more to the eve story than we are aware of.. if we look at the patriachal religions, they are very 'anti-woman'.

is this based on their corruption of the bible story.. .

yes, i think there is more to the story of eve, and our the 'origins' than we think.. father god, mother goddess.. .

You say that all nations descend from mitochondrial Eve. You also say this is not Biblical Eve.

I guess I'm asking, how do you know that Mitochondrial Eve is not Biblical Eve?

*lost* can you please explain this statement you made: "Africa, china, India etc all descend from Mitochondrial Eve, but not Biblical Eve."

What's the difference between them?
