  Were Bible writers flat earthers?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  2. bible

  job 26:7 he stretches out the northern sky over empty space, well should it be the southern that has empty space under it?.

  the north pole has the earth under it?.

  the south pole has empty space under it?.

  there is no absolute hard proof either way.

  You make that same absurd claim about 20 or 30 times a week.

  To paraphrase the great philosopher, Inigo Montoya, "I do not think that [phrase] means what you think it means".

  Armageddon is just beginning

  do you want to know what is really behind the fake coronavirus pandemic, so-called vaccines and the war in ukraine?

  to understand current events, you must first learn the history.

  the world's biggest secret is that there have been tremendous global disasters in the past that decimated populations and caused the collapse of empires.

  Blood Card Check

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i remember many years ago that apparently there was an annual event where witnesses' blood cards (or whatever they're called) were checked by some visiting wt dignitary.

  that the blood cards were current, and that the r&f were carrying them.. given the situation in some countries that kingdom halls can't legally keep data about people who have been visited, is the practice of checking and enforcing the carrying of blood cards similarly illegal in some places?.

  are there any places where it is illegal for the hlc to set up camp near the hospital bed of a sick jw?.

  It's on their website.

  Type in "2022 Service Year Report" in the search box. If you just type in "Service Year Report" you'll see links to prior years' report as well.

  It's a hoot. The number of newly baptized has been in utter freefall for the past 2-3 years. It's now less than half what it was just a few years ago.

  How does one contact the admin and get a response?

  If you start a thread on how great it is to be "woke", he'll be here soon enough

  Please explain WT/ JW ,we have a right to know.

  That's just it - the GB have such hubris, and such utter contempt for the average JW, they are quite certain that no, we don't have a "right to know" about anything they decide.

  My understanding was that donations were tied to the literature.

  30 years ago that was the case.

  I'd bet you have a bit of gray around the temples

  Am I right?

  Yes, that is the idea. There is a "recommended donation" for each congregation, based on the number of publishers. But each congregation determines what it will donate. Some will donate more, some will donate less.

  But given how the vast majority of elders are positively drooling over themselves to follow direction from "mother", it is a safe bet that unless there are very difficult financial issues in a congregation, the recommended amount will be the minimum that they decide to send in each month.

  It's standard JW doctrine: "once anointed, always anointed".

  Even if someone "anointed" is DF'ed, if they return and are reinstated, they jump immediately back to "anointed" status.

  Don't ask me where to find it - it's probably buried in some old 50's or 60's "Questions from Readers" and has never been superseded. But I know I've read it somewhere.

  So, since he isn't even DF'ed (to the best of our knowledge) he remains (and will remain) "anointed", albeit no longer, per "present truth", a member of the "faithful and discreet slave".
