this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.
somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.
the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.
'Do you accept the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave that Jesus spoke about, and do you believe God is using them as his channel to dispense spiritual food'
I've been asked that a number of times recently, though not in any "formal" meeting. I suffer from (selective) hard hearing, so I cannot answer a question that I do not "hear".
in 1957 society said real mother of christians is not an earthly organization, yet - later said gal 4:26 shows it is heavenly jerusalem but three times in revelation hj comes to earth to reside with mankind.. it is also called jerusalem above.. in isa 54:5,6 we are told ""thy maker is thy husband- he has called you as wife" (speaking of earthly jerusalem) and we are told in many scriptures that god will never forsake his wife - yet the society says it is all spiritual now.
that jerusalem has been cast off.....then 1919, the new agenda for the society is that jehovahs wife?
brought forth more children, making a new nation (anointed) who was delivered from babylon.
Trying to understand WT's explanations of scripture is much easier if you can make your mind do this.
dont know if it's been posted sorry if it has been, but on february 8 a two night special on jehovah's channel of coverups and lies and evidently truths will be dropped on oxygen network.

What are they going to tell the congregations? Don’t watch it?
Exactly! That and that these are only "apostate" lies made up under the influence of Satan to try to turn people away from the "truth". Sick b--tards!
i was thinking about how the org is dying, and how the guboobs are trying to give it cpr by transitioning to tvpreach.

So true. My own, now deceased parents were the butt of ever increasing cruel jokes and ridicule in direct proportion to their advancing age and age related infirmities. Their home was only two lots down from the kingdumb hell and just before she died my mother with tears in her eyes said, "We see them drive north to the hall, and we see them drive south from the hall, but they NEVER stop anymore." My dad shortly before he died said, "They have love on their lips, but NONE in their hearts."
Personally I try not to let my hate for those hypocritical, lying a**holes consume me, but I would not take a piss on them if they were on fire.
remember those pesky scriptures about 'put faith in jesus and you will be saved' & 'getting baptized without delay'?
well, in this time of the end ™ we know better, and the latest march 2020 study edition wt sums it all up:.
before you can get baptized, there are a few other things you need to do.
If you have not yet completed your study of the books What Can the Bible Teach Us? and How to Remain in God’s Love, you should continue studying with a Bible teacher until you finish both books.
Now I wonder where the BIBLE enters into the equation? Oh that's right...IT DOESN'T!
the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".
then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.
f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..
I am a meat eater. I tolerate vegans. I am a vegan. I tolerate meat eaters. Respect for the freedom of choice of my fellow man. How is this basic concept deemed divisive?
As a meat eater with no desire to change I can say that if everyone would do things MY WAY and eat meat there would be no division between meat eaters and vegans. (That was some sarcasm in case anyone actually thought I would genuinely think that way)
i was on the phone with a long-time friend from my original congregation north of new york city and she told me that the 'shit hit the fan' when a brother (long-time elder i know well) got remarried about 6 weeks after his wife died.. he was about 60 and his new wife (a pioneer that i also know) was about 50 and had never been married.. it became a huge issue when the co came.
due to all the talk and chatter in the congregation, he even included in one of his talks without naming names, that marriage is something sacred and that when and how people get married is a personal matter as long as it conforms to bible standards.. anyway, it shut everybody up.
any similar experiences in your current/former congregations?.
I knew a couple that "kindly" took in another young guy and provided him a place to live. The husband was killed in a logging accident and the wife married the live in boarder less then one month later. Of course I suspect they were mattress dancing before the husband was ever killed.
i'm 43 and a divorced mother of 2. in january 2019 i met the man i thought i could spend the rest of my life with.
we were happy and even though our relationship wasn't perfect (like all relationships) i thought we had a chance and were building a life together with our young kids.
background on me - i've been divorced since 2012 after 12 years of marriage.
What should i do?
RUN!!! Run fast, run far, do not look back. Oh, and did I say RUN?
good move or bad?
?.
Trump has certainly not been as strike-happy as Obama was.
obama made the comment that he was getting pretty good at killing people. I guess he was right. Obama ordered 542 drone strikes while president, resulting in the deaths of 3,797 people, including 542 civilians.
But don't let the facts confuse you. We all "KNOW" that President Trump is the only bad guy here, right?
