  hi all.. it's being a while that i don't share in the forum.

  after moving to another country and finding a job, i asked my congregation in my country to send my publishing card here.

  once i did it, i stopped attending meetings.

  i feel that there aren’t many of that type anymore, but there have to be some – mostly old-timers.

  how do they study?.

  when i was active, i collected all the old publications i could find.

  The alleged "faithful slave" wasn't being very discreet when they "recommended" to their followers that only WTBTS propaganda publications from the year 2000 onwards be used for personal study/research - because of all the "new lights."

  Any JW's who ignore this "advice" and who discuss "old lights," will be seen as not keeping up with the org's chariot.

  “...in the name of our Lord Jesus” explanation please?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am looking for someone to please clear this up.

  there are scriptures like in the 1 corinthians chapter 5 that refer to jesus as “our lord jesus”.

  the lord is jehovah, why does that scripture in 1 corinthians refer to the lord as jesus?

  It's interesting to note that before he was born and after he died, the Bible informs its readers that Jesus actually has a God and Father in heaven.

  Micah 5:4 - “And he will certainly stand and do shepherding in the strength of Jehovah, in the superiority of the name of Jehovah HIS GOD."

  John 20:17 - Jesus said to her: “......But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to MY Father and YOUR Father and to MY God and YOUR God.’

  Romans 15:6 - That with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  

  2 Corinthians 1:3 - Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ...................
  

  2 Corinthians 11:31 - The GOD and FATHER of the Lord Jesus...."
  

  Ephesians 1:3 - "Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ..."

  Hebrews 1:9 - "You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, YOUR GOD, anointed you...”

  1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ.............................

  Revelation 1:6 - And he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his GOD and FATHER.......................

  Revelation 3:2 - "....for I have not found your deeds fully performed before MY GOD."

  Revelation 3:12 - “The one that conquers - I will make him a pillar in the temple of MY God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of MY God and the name of the city of MY God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from MY God...."
  

  How does this scenario work out if Jesus is God Almighty himself? How can God in heaven have a God in heaven?
  

  Also, if the Athanasian creed regarding the trinity is true - when it says that the Father, son, and holy ghost are co-equal, co-eternal, and none has superiority over the other - then 1 Corinthians 15:27,28 must be a patent lie when it says that Jesus will subject himself to his Father.

  The New English Bible says that Jesus will be subordinate to the Father.

  The language used by the Catholic Encyclopaedia to summarise the trinity dogma says it all:

  “Our Lord's words, Matthew 11:27, "No one knoweth the Son, but the Father," seem to declare expressly that the plurality of Persons in the Godhead is a truth entirely beyond the scope of any created intellect.”

  (matthew 12:32) “....whoever speaks a word against the son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the g.b.

  or the org, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come.”.

  i have written some time ago, about how the religion i grew up in no longer exists.

  i was an 80’s jw kid who became a pioneer then a bethelite.

  they have new meetings, new elder roles, new acronyms, new core teachings, new songs and even a new bible.

  i'm sorry if this is in the wrong category!

  i am formerly adimmedlight, or something close to that.

  i have been lurking here a few years now and while i did make an account before, i used a fake email (i no longer remember it, since it was made only to log in the one time i posted.. )because i was so paranoid people in my home town would discover me and "out" me.

  Welcome to your real life EBH!

  You stated a universal truth - "Everyone thinks they are right and meanwhile instead of bettering ourselves, we're too busy worrying about getting others to believe us."

  Spot on. Keep getting stronger.

  2. friends

  so yesterday was the midweek meeting - the first of the month for december so instead of locals doing the little talk skits we get the on screen shadow puppets.. after each one the ms taking the item asks the congregation for "positive" comments.. part way through i get a text from a pimo brother enduring the show which reads thus (and i quote word for word ...).

  "it's like listening to a bunch of people from a mental institution.

  ".

  Bottom line - the WTBTS is first and foremost a business, and as such, will capitalise on its registered trade name - i.e. JWdotBORG - as discreetly as it can. (see what I did there?)

  I'd never seen the org promote any company's product to the sheeple - until the creation of JWBroadcasting. Then the powers-that-be urged its followers to buy ROKU boxes in order to access the wonderful new spiritual -streams. (other streaming devices costing half the price were available via the internet)

  I'll bet the org creamed off a few dollars for their endorsement.
