Anthony Morris III life story

by campaign of hate in

am3rd life story is in may 15th 2015 study wt.. after reading, he sounds very mental unstable.

i know you guys will be saying "yeah, obviously he is"...but we don't have any concrete evidence saying he has a mental condition.. has anyone ever dug a little deeper, perhaps try to find some people who would have known him from the army?

i mean, he probably doesn't know that many people, he was only serving for a year for christs sake.

coh The part where he says in the article that his sons are in the truth, and they make me and my wife look good?

What does that imply about Jehovah then, who lost many of his angelic 'sons'.

Looking Back In Retrospect To 1975...

by titch in

greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.

and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.

but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.

I think you're being too hard on the GB.

I'm still awaiting 1975 to happen, and when it does you will all be sorry.

Sir David Eady to give judgement on the Watctower Appeal in the Otuo v Morley and Watch Tower case at the High Court tommorrow

by Adwoa Kromo in

sir david eady sitting as high court judge will hand down judgement tomorrow at 11:00am in the appeal of the decision from master leslie for refusing to strike out the claim as an abuse of process.

in his judgement in november 2014 he stated in his judgement delivered ex-tempore " i am bound to say that this case causes me a good deal of trouble".

from notes that i have from the hearing last week, i will be utterly surprised if the retired judge sir david eady takes a different view.

I would like to see individual elders being held to account over their actions, and them being personally prosecuted / fined.

When this happens I think the role of 'elder' will not be such a sought after one.

Blondie's Comments You Won't Hear at the 06-28-2015 WT Study (TRUST JAH)

by blondie in

6-28-15 blondies comments trust in jehovah (4/15/15 study wt).

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/ .

so how does the wts start out in the first paragraph?.

That part about how Jehovah answers us like a father answers his children was deceptive.

The reasoning went...

"Recall that he likens our relationship with him to that of children with a father. (Ps. 103:13) A child cannot rightly expect a parent to grant every request or to do so right away. Some of a child’s requests may be mere passing whims. Others must wait till the time is right. Still others may not be in the child’s best interests or in the best interests of others involved."

But notice Ps 103:13 is referenced : "As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him."

This verse is not about little children, it is about 'sons'. The context shows that these 'sons' are actually independent persons and likened to 'mortal man'.

If we are like little children then we should allow someone to take responsibility for us and make decisions for us.
If we are adults then we take responsibility for ourselves, but also ask for things that go beyond what 'children' deem important.

Some recent information on the case here, with details of what has been presented to the courts, and the reasons for the dismissal.

The judge seems to be able to see through the fog of a BOE JC, and does not look impressed with the way things were handled.

They have been teaching wrong things for over a century and all of their teachings have passed away unfulfilled.

It's fitting that Jesus exposes them in Matt 5:18-19:
"Truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one stroke of a letter to pass away from the Law until all things take place. Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in relation to the Kingdom of the heavens."

Ironically, I learned this verse at the recent convention!

Strange Moment During The 2015 Regional Convention

by JW_Rogue in

hi, i'm new here but hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere yet.

during the "imitate jesus" rc there was a strange moment where they played a video of a brother trying to explain the 1914 teaching.

the brother quickly goes through all the scriptural "proofs" and the householder is dumbfounded.

Or - If we begin with a date when absolutely nothing happened, link backwards a load of unrelated phrases from all over the Bible, we find a start date that has no basis in history. This will become the foundation for all subsequent teachings.

Demons

by Pattytheperfect1 in

this isn't a joke and i don't post here often but i had a conversation with my grandma i found comical and thought i'd share.

my uncle lives far away and my grandma wants to go visit him but says she is afraid of the demons in his rental home.

she is afraid a demon might follow her home.

Splash

Tell Grandma that you researched this on the Society CD ROM and she's right, demons not only inhabit homes and frighten people by moving clothes around, but some people have even got demons by talking to someone on the phone who lives in a demonised home.

Tell her that letters from one person to another can be contaminated with demons, and the best way to protect herself is to break off all contact until he gets rid of them.

Let them start shunning one another for their stupidity and gullability.
