  We find ourselves in atemporary situation where we are about 34.5 crores short of what is needed until the old branch is sold. Once we get the money and build the new branch with your free labor, when the old branch is sold, we will lovingly keep and transfer that money to the USA headquarters to lovingly provide needed comforts for the GB. In about 5 years after building the new branch, and with your generous free labor, we will sell the new branch for a nice profit and send those funds to the GB as well and tell you that the branch is no longer needed since everything can be printed from JW.org.

  Why are public schools allowed? Why is education through high school allowed?

  "Don't get higher education, don't do anything to increase your pay, work 40 to 80 hours a week and struggle with bills, and don't forget to get some high limit credit cards so you can make large regular contributions too!"

  Why not extend your child's life and take the consequences?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses & blood transfusions.

  if your son or daughter were badly burned, he or she would require regular whole blood transfusions.

  as a good jehovah's witness, it is your duty to refuse this procedure and watch your child die instead.

  Jesus healed on the sabbath. That principle alone means blood transfusions to save a life would take priority to stance on blood.

  The word for Seraphim also translates to snake or serpent??? Really can change or explain bible meanings

  by Bad_Wolf in

  i was answering a post whose conversations went into the book of enoch in which i had read before.

  i came upon information that seraphim also translates to serpent.

  i have long thought the old testament does not mean what most religions have interpreted.

  If seraphim translates to serpent and if satan or opposer or other entities, the dragon or serpent in revelation, etc......

  Then the fiery serpents that bite the israelites in the wilderness, fiery seraphim. the serpent in the garden of eden is a seraphim. Seraphim are described as fiery.

  Anybody read hebrew here?

  i’m sorry that i talk about dating a lot, i know it is probably very annoying, but you don’t have to read it.

  but did anyone else have the most difficult time dating as a young jw?

  me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year in half, we are in our early 20’s, and we are still not allowed to hold hands, cuddle or kiss.

  My sister married a guy who didn't want sex with her at all. She ended up so desperate she had sex with a stranger. She was the one publicly reproved not him. He might be gay or asexual, not marriage material, not to a woman anyway. Of course being a JW she didn't find out until they were married. She's been miserable with him for over forty years. Don't do that!

  Wow, how old was he? I usually hear that about females in younger years then it reverses as get older. I knew of one guy who married a virgin and was married to her for about 20 years. First time they had sex she didn't like it, said it felt like poop or something. They only did it 2 or 3 times in their entire marriage. Another guy got married so he could have sex w/ his gf, and he told me later one he was lucky if he got laid once a month. (Those were all JWs) when I got out, I started to hear about guys. Females in 40s to 60's who never get anything from their husbands.

  I say live with who you intend to marry. Then you'll have a good idea if you are sexually compatible. If both are in the mood or dtf and no stress on that level it's good. If one is always feeling pressuring or too much or too little then won't be good.

  Like another said, would suck to find out not sexually compatible. And unless your bf is leaving the religion or feels like you do, you're in for a big mess if you continue. You also don't know him at all. When alone with somebody things are different, aside from physical, how you interact, etc.

  Dec 2018 Watchtower Third Heaven & Paradise

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a qfr in the watchtower asks ".

  n what sense was the apostle paul “caught away to the third heaven” and “into paradise”?​—2 cor.

  they've been flip flopping regarding this, stating that it is paul talking about himself to paul talking about the congregation and back again to paul talking about himself.it appears that three years ago david splane gave a talk during the convention explaining their latest ideas and it has taken all this time for it to get into print.

  The secrets of enoch, and other books from dead sea scrolls explain what those things meant.

  http://www.pseudepigrapha.com/pseudepigrapha/enochs2.htm

  The 1st heaven is our atmosphere, and supposedly a great sea was there. Clouds, etc. t

  The 2nd heaven is a great dark prison. The angels that rebelled in noahs time are there. (possibly referenced in Revelation, the pits of darkness)

  The 3rd heaven is where garden of eden is at, tree of life, and many heavenly city visions in that area.

  4th heaven is the workings of the sun and stars and how they rotate. It's interesting how accurate it was with astronomy. It notes the 28 year cycle of the sun, etc.

  5th heaven is another prison, those who rebelled prior to the events of the great flood, whom those are held in the 2nd heaven prison.

  6th heaven arch angels and where deeds of men recorded, etc.

  7th heaven cherubs

  8th heaven 12 constellations of the circle of the firmament (144,000 may somehow be related here, 12 tribes, etc)

  9th heaven heavenly homes of the 12 constellations

  10th heaven God's throne

  a california court fined only $2,000 to the wt for not releasing records of 775 sex abuse cases?

  they should have made the fine 20 million +.

  That, of course, misses the obvious point of it all: the gb dont fly first class.

  One of my parents were personal friends of Daniel Sydlik. I recall in the late 80's talking with them. They claimed to be of the annointed and had in person visits and pen pals with him as well. I remember being stumbled when they mentioned how he told them that they fly first class and drive around in nice cars when they travel. Even at my young age I thought that was wrong and misuse of donations but my parent thought it was just good perk of being a gb member. Then when reading and learning about Rutherford and how he was, it all made perfect sense.
