Watchtower January 2022 The Memorial

by Listener in

next years memorial article focuses on the two class system that they promote.. interestingly, they mention how the anointed are in two covenants.

the new covenant and the kingdom covenant.

they claim that both of these covenants opened up the way for a small number to become kings and priests in heaven.

I love these types of articles.

"All of those who who partake of the emblems nowadays are deluded fools or insane or emotionally disturbed. Except we 8 on the GB, of course, we're all perfectly normal."

Jesus is a horse?

by Diogenesister in

jgnat posted this in one of punky's posts.

third century.

why is jesus portrayed as a horse, does anyone know please?.

FFGhost

IIRC, it is 3rd century graffiti, intended as an insult to Christians. It shows the Christian God (Jesus) portrayed as a donkey nailed to a cross.

Watchtower More Important than the Scriptures

yes, that is how they want people to esteem the magazine.

they believe it is the unique mouthpiece of god.

And the higher you go in the organization, the more they rely on "the organization".

Elders are taught to research what "the slave says" about a matter, rather than to do Bible research.

Can non JWs be witnesses in a committee meeting?

by mickbobcat in

i am not sure but i know where non jws have been brought in for a witness to a judicial meeting.

what is the official policy on this?

FFGhost

Non-JWs can be used as eyewitnesses to establish the "two witness" bit. But as noted above, it's as "witness for the prosecution" only.

The judicial committee is primarily there to cast judgment on the "genuineness" of the repentance of the accused, as if that were somehow possible.

EDIT: Just got to add, I would think that inviting a "worldly" person to a JW judicial committee would be the number one, absolutely fool-proof method to inoculate that "worldly person" from ever joining the JW nuthouse.

so i showed one of my older uncles the link on jw.org.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/the-governing-body-announces-that-some-in-person-meetings-will-resume-in-select-areas/.

keep in mind that this is one of the relatives that is a true believer and used every excuse you can think of for the cancellation of all kingdom hall meetings.

and he also used every scriptural argument you can make up to justify the end of the door to door ministry.

I heard at least one congregation in Sweden was also part of the "pilot program".

Could end of November be special?

by Kosonen in

jw
friends

did you know that noah entered the ark in the end part of november and also that jesus' followers flead jerusalem around 25th of november 66ce?.

could it be that a significant group of jehovah's witnesses would begin to flee to the "wilderness" in the end of november?

revelation 12 speaks about a flight of a symbolic woman to a wilderness.

FFGhost

Let me guess:

The end of November is when we advance from "the end is very very soon now" to "the end is very very VERY soon now"?

Maybe these places are what they are planning to reopen.

There's reddit pages out there - the ones we know about so far are in Hong Kong and some parts of Australia.

The first super spreader event from a Kingdom Hall will shut this program down.

Yeah, I've got a feeling this is not going to end well.

I suspect the WTS is underestimating the level of resistance to starting up in-person meetings again.
