Question.Pardon my ignorance but everyone keeps talking about the light getting brighter.As the 7 wise men grow older and with age good eye sight diminishes.Does this mean buying stronger light globes so they can see better. -

My Personal Proof That Elders Are Not Appointed by Holy Spirit
by TMS inthis topic is not about men living sinfully at the time of their appointment as elders.
it is not about pedophile elders, although i've personally known three, two who were pedophiles at the time of their appointment by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. first of all a quick summary of what jehovah's witnesses are taught about the appointment of elders and ministerial servants:.
before the visit of the circuit overseer, the local elders meet to consider who, if any, among the local congregation they will recommend as elders or .

Lets get real here for a moment.How on earth does an obese elder get appointed by the holy spirit?Or how does an obese elder get to remain an elder?How can an obese elder give councel,talks,witness and disfellowship others when in fact the bible clearly says philippians 3:19-20 they are headed for destruction.Their god is there appetite. Overeating is a form of idolatry and lack of self control.Even a skinny person can be a glutton.My point is why have the faithful and discreet slave allowed this situation.lt is blantantly hypocritical dont you think? thoughts anyone. -

United States baptism stats 1969-2015
by the comet inwhenever the new yearbooks come out, we all look at the figures and see the publisher increase never really matches up with the baptism figures.
it never should match up as all newly baptized ones are already publishers, and may have been for many years.
i, as an example, became an unbaptized publisher at age 11. i didn't get baptized until i was 17. .

Another stand out example which lm sure stumbles many jw and newbys and outsiders is the fact that many elders are grossly over weight (obese).The bible clearly talks about gluttony and the consequences.What sought of example is this setting l ask myself? -

To me this seams like more than a coincidence ...
by Greybeard insorry if this has been discussed before.... for a few days now, this question has been going through my mind.
what was the date the governing body took the sole role of the faithful and discreet slave and how close was it to the end of the mayan calendar in december of 2012?
i looked it up on jwfactes.com and sure enough, checkout the date on this article:.

I'm ready to get my first Powerball ticket -- NOT!
by FatFreek 2005 init's up to some 800 zillion dollars now and hasn't suckered me in yet.
i've been out of watchtower for some 38 years now and i suppose the lottery is one of their nonoze.
i have nothing morally wrong against it or anyone who enjoys doing it.

l wonder what would happen if a baptised JW bought a ticket and won the 500 million prize.lm sure the elders would have something to say about this.l also wonder what would happen if the JW winner pledged to build a brand new kingdom hall and give each congregation member a million dollars each and the rest to bethel.

lve seen this situation many times.lst of all calm down. lf your content with your current living arrangement and biding time its probably in your best interests to try and keep the peace.Your fathers threat to kick you out is unscriptual as allready pointed out. To counter his threat simply tell him you will raise the issue with the elders and see what they have to say.lm feel certain his attitude with this approach will change.The whole idea here is to buy yourself as much time as you need to decide your future.
