  I think they rip some pages out of their bibles and miss these.

  1 John 4:1 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

  2 Thess 2: 1 However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here. 3 Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god.

  There was something in a watchtower not too long ago if I remember correctly that compared getting a drivers license to getting baptised. I forget the correlation because it made no sense to me at the time so I dismissed it as soon as it entered my ears.

  i’m in australia so i wanted to know if it’s possible to obtain information on the companies that the wbts invests in currently in the us?

  is there a legitimate site where this information can be found as i prefer to look it up myself than just go by what other people say.

  that would be no different than running my life according the the wt and i’m done with that..

  Can baptism be considered a legal verbal agreement?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on the requirements set forth and the questions answered at the end.

  i believe this question has been asked before.

  the fact that you can only be expelled after having been put under this oath of allegiance and that you have witnesses to you making this agreement ( i remember my name was shout to the crowd when i entered the pool ).. if it can be considered so, would there be a legal ground to say minors can not enter this agreement?.

  As per babygirl30 said, my exact same situation except I’m not DF. I’m really against child baptism. There’s a reason Christ himself was baptised at 30 and he was perfect!!!

  i get infuriated when i see the god's (guardians of doctrine) sporting pinky rings or rings on there right hands.

  like a club association.

  when i try and take a look at the ring it resembles a masionic ring.

  They have a club, definitely. The best 7 out of 144,000 club. Why is it no other anointed matters but those n the GB? Mind you, we recently had a WT study where they said been anointed is simply an invite, not a membership but somehow that doesn't apply to the GB in their castle which resides in the last world power according to the explanation for the prophecy.

  Tony Morris Shows Off Engraved Gold Ring with Turquoise Birthstone(?)

  the july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.

  maybe it's not a big deal.

  maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.

  I don't like it. Do all the GB members have a club ring? I haven't watched a broadcast in a while, they make my stomach churn.
