  If You Could Live In Any Era or Decade What Would It Be?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kind of like the 50’s and early 60’s because of the innocence and “happy days” outlook by that generation.

  it seems most people were pretty innocent and real.. would you rather be living in a different era or is this century working for you?

  There is no shame in failing. The shame is in never trying.

  The man who says the least usually feels the most.

  Perhaps a brother has made mistakes in the past, and now he feels that he is not worthy of being a ministerial servant or an elder. Another brother might have feelings of inadequacy about fulfilling an assignment.

  Or maybe instead of placing blame on the brother they should admit that nepotism and money are involved. If they want you in their boys club you will be admitted no matter what sins you practice or how inadequate you are. If they do not want you in their club, no matter how christian and righteous you are and no matter how qualified you are you will NEVER be admitted.

  In-depth breakdown of the WTF QUOTES from November 2019 Watchtower

  by Fabian1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  13. according to leviticus 9:23, 24, how did jehovah show his approval of the priesthood?.

  when the israelites saw this clear evidence of jehovah’s backing of the priests, they had good reason to give them full support.

  5:18, 19) how can we show our support for the organization that jehovah is using?

  Strange they didn't trot out the "give Gee-HO'-Vuh your money, channel it through us crap! Or maybe they did and I thankfully missed it.

  first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.

  then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.

  The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ U.S. branch based in upstate Wallkill, declined to comment on the pending lawsuits “out of respect for the judicial process and the privacy of those involved."

  It is said there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. The quote above is from the news article. I believe the WT statement to qualify as a damned lie! They have zero respect for the judicial process, unless it is in their favor. And anyone who has had even the most "innocent" of dealings with a group of elders knows they have no respect for any individuals privacy.

  They "decline to comment" because they are following the old maxim, "Don't speak when you can mumble. And don't mumble when you can remain silent. " They have nothing to say in their own defense that will stand the light of day.

  What should a good JW do when a report appears on TV about apostates who spread the truth about Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Oh, but remember, if one believes the eight WT popes, nothing said about JW's that is not kissing their ass is Satans lies.

  over at reddit a post has appeared stating that a letter was read at this week's clam meeting announcing renovation work at the patterson compound, er, site:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/cmz8t5/announcement_patterson_is_being_renovated_extra/.

  does it strike anyone as odd that at a time of pretty extreme belt-tightening the gb is undertaking another costly building project?

  Yep, and read out that it will be a several year project. So much for the end being "soon". Send money, give free labor, send money, oh and by the way SEND MONEY!

  November 2019 Watchtower - My highlights

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'the watchtower november 2019 study articles quoted below can be summed up as follows:.

  the great tribulation is near, so become more entrenched in the cult by strengthening friendships with other jw's, by revealing your thoughts to them, by doing more for the org, and by refusing to listen to any upsetting reports about the org in the media or on the internet.. par.

  19, page 7 - we must be determined to build and maintain strong relationships with our brothers and sisters now.
