i went to meeting today and the sister in front of me was upset song 134 now song 139 no longer contains jehovahs name.
they took it out.
i never even noticed .
“We thank you, our God, for all you have done."I am cc, not only does it flow nicely, it included "thanks" which is always appropriate to any giver.
Poetic license, not endorsing, just observing, I like the melody, played on our grand.
don't like the lyrics, The wt god has done nothing predicted so far.
fyi - from sweden.
first an article from the swedish newspaper svenska dagbladet (via google translate).
jehovah's witnesses won against the government.
Does sweden fund moscs?
now they are not printing between 40 and 60 million magazines a month what do people think they are doing with the money?.
investing, buying real estate. If you realize you will not--" inherit the earth--", you must buy it.
blondie’s comments you will not hear at the february 26, 2017 wt study (december 2016) (rewards).
excellent general website: www.jwfacts.com .
bible translations www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible .
What if the discouragement is from people at the KH we should expect support….should we compare them to Joseph’s 10 brothers? blondie:
Yes we should, because Joseph was the original bible whistleblower, The "brothers" hate whistleblowers, like in Joseph's time, so today, they expell them***. Ask many here, that wanted, in good faith, point out things that are done wrong in wt land.
*** wt, ever alert to make money, would gladly sell impertinent do-gooders aka apostates, rather than just disfellowship them. imo.
to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.
most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.
reporting is short on crucial details.
four years ago the watchtower made the following demand.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
they are not content with obedience and in the upcoming june watchtower they have this to say -15. how does respect for theocratic headship reveal our love for jehovah’s way of ruling?15 what is our response to divinely authorized headship?
it was supposed to be "what you have bound on Earth, will be bound in Heaven": so, if wt/ F&DS/GB proclaims as the end of the word, start of paradise, 1914, 1925, 1975, ~2075, it was supposed to happen, but what happened. ???
The Creator is not going to have his reputation, sovereignty vindicated by wt works, obviously. so supporting them is not a god given duty, he did not support them either.
The order: is Creator, husband, good wife, children. 1: Cor 11:3:--- no WT GB, no elders to be found there. to repeat:
If God did not support the WT, why would you?
6 planets around the dim, slow burning star trappist-1, have the temperature to permit [almost better, longer] "everlasting life" in paradise.
this distant "sun" will give light for another ~ 10 billion years, unlike our sun, which is already half done., with only ~ 4 to go.
everlasting, overlapping life on our planet: naturally impossible.
I am more interested in the orbit spacings of these close planets, it is showing a regular pattern, like our planets, but not doubling, and not light minutes and light hours, but 4- 8 light seconds apart.

we might be able to travel to other planets Fairlane,
or be resurrected there.
cofty, with 6 of Trappist-1's planets amenable to life, but separated by 100 of 1000s in km of hostile space, evolution would have a hay day, the galapagos of the milky way.
There will be a new heaven and earth. Gorby, these planets will be still new, when the earth is gone.
Do the JWs wonder if that system had an earth-like planet with an Adam and Eve, a Satan, a Jesus, the issue of universal sovereignty. Do they think there must only be life here? Yanthippe, No they don't, we have that unique privilege in the whole universe, talking snake and all.

on planets c-g not proven, but likely to last twice as long so: happy overlapping.
haven't read this book but i guess it the watered down version of thier history.
what did the leave out and lie about in this publication?
?.
The reason why the reigning king selected WT as the faithful slave in 1919, the brilliant " Millions now living will never die" booklet and campaign, page 426 in "proclaimers book" absent in KR.
Michelin gives 5 star ratings,for quality of food served, look at the wt quality of spiritual food at the crucial time of testing. Millions will never die (but only as a group). bon appetit.
