  loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).

  note to the circuit overseer:.

  use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.

  So for the faithful who have remained loyal their entire lives, they are now being browbeaten with more demands for loyalty. No commendation or lightening of the load, just warnings, threats, intimidation. STAY LOYAL.

  Even the local needs part says "Show how the congregation can make the improvement over the next several months".

  What you have been doing is not enough. Make improvements. Do more. You're still not good enough. Work harder.

  Is it any wonder that so many are at breaking point.

  BBC News: Contaminated blood scandal inquiry announced (Expect Some JW Propaganda Over This!!)

  by pale.emperor in

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40566761.

  an inquiry will be held into the contaminated blood scandal that left at least 2,400 people dead, the prime minister has confirmed.. it will establish the causes of the "appalling injustice" that took place in the 1970s and 1980s.

  nhs patients were given blood products that were infected with diseases, such as hepatitis c and hiv.. families of those who died will be consulted about what form the inquiry should take.. it could be a public hillsborough-style inquiry or a judge-led statutory inquiry, prime minister theresa may confirmed.. the prime minister's spokesman said: "it is a tragedy that has caused immeasurable hardship and pain for all those affected and a full inquiry to establish the truth of what happened is the right course of action to take.. "it is going to be a wide-ranging inquiry.".

  That BBC report says the diseases were transmitted when patients accepted the blood clotting fraction "Factor VIII":

  BBC: They needed regular treatment with a clotting agent Factor VIII, which is made from donated blood.
  

  JW's can't claim they were protected from this danger because it is a blood fraction, not one of the four banned components.

  *** w00 6/15 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***
  For example, clotting factor VIII has been given to hemophiliacs, who bleed easily. Or if someone is exposed to certain diseases, doctors might prescribe injections of gamma globulin, extracted from the blood plasma of people who already had immunity.... Should Christians accept these fractions in medical treatment? We cannot say. The Bible does not give details, so a Christian must make his own conscientious decision before God.

  So if a JW tells you they were protected in this case by their blood policy, please tell them they were not.

  JWs are susceptible to these scams for a number of reasons.

  They are conditioned to trust other JWs and not dig beyond superficial claims.

  They are insulated from the real world so often lack street smarts.

  They are prevented from getting better education which teaches critical thinking or financial acumen.

  They often have a basic income and financial struggles which easy money would fix.

  WT are responsible for inflicting all of these handicaps on JWs because it serves their agenda. Unfortunately it also makes JWs more vulnerable to other malevolent agendas besides the WTs.

  Can JWs vote?

  by NikL in

  2. beliefs

  i finally found the questions from readers i was looking for.. from nov 1, 1999 wt .

  it says.... questions from readershow do jehovah’s witnesses view voting?there are clear principles set out in the bible that enable servants of god to take a proper view of this matter.

  however, there appears to be no principle against the practice of voting itself.

  w99 11/1 those who have a part in voting a person into office may become responsible for what he does. (Compare 1 Timothy 5:22, The New English Bible.) Christians have to consider carefully whether they want to shoulder that responsibility.

  By this Bible backed reasoning (?), when the elders appoint a MS and he uses his position to abuse children, the elders may be responsible for what that MS does.

  What about when the GB or holy spirit appoint an elder who abuses children. Who may be responsible for what that abuser does?

  Who would want to be an elder with this ridiculous level of reasoning?

  according to victor yarofeyev, who publishes a blog for a radio station in moscow, echo of moscow, the total value of the jw properties in russia is 1.9 billion rubles.

  which converts to $31,956,955 us.

  almost 32 million dollars.. yarofeyev speculates that, if the supreme court refuses the org's appeal on july 17, some of the jw's properties may prove difficult for the russian government to seize.

  So WT started transferring away all of their Kingdom Interests when they learned of the Russian court case against them.

  Maybe this is why they lost the case - they did not put their trust in Jehovah.

  "If the prosecutor proves that the transactions were concluded in order to avoid enforcement of the judgment, and not for gratuitous gift, the State will be able to assign the property."
  

  The WT gave buildings and land away as gifts?
  The WT don't give anything away as gifts, let alone its core business interests!

  JeffT According to the Watchtower the League of Nations morphed into the UN after World War II.

  Yes, WT say this and link it to the scarlet coloured wild beast of Revelation 17:8 "The wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss" as a proof text.

  In fact as recently as 2015 the WT confirmed this teaching (w15 7/15 p. 15 par. 4) “...present political powers that give support to the United Nations, an organization pictured by the 'scarlet-colored wild beast.' ”

  
  

  But look at the facts.

  League of Nations: Started Jan 10th 1920 - Ended 20th April 1946
  United Nations: Started 24th Oct 1945

  In other words the UN officially began 6 months before the League was formerly concluded. This was necessary to transfer the assets and governance from the old to the new organisation.

  How then is it possible for this beast to fit the description of "but is not" when there was not a moment in time when there was no League or United nations?

  Where was John in the stream of time when we visioned this event?

  If WT is so keen on overlapping events, then why not reveal this one which has basis in fact and history?
  Simply put, the scarlet coloured wild beast cannot represent the UN because the description is an impossible fit.
