  My fade. Phase 2.

  by Beth Sarim in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  about to move from ''irregular'' status to ''inactive''.. after 6 months of not handing a field service report since the end of june, i will be recognized as ''inactive''.

  there could be 'questions' coming my way.. after having read ''crisis of conscience'' last spring, i could no longer ''actively'' preach or believe the wbts conscientiously.

  i could no longer fake hours by putting the 'slip' in the field service box.

  I wish you the very best Beth Sarim.

  My advice for you and anyone in a similar situation - don't answer any questions and say absolutely nothing about your awakening to any JW's.

  Me and my better half have now completed the end-game of our fade, by ceasing our "cover" visits to the KH.

  We have never had any attempts to interrogate us by the cult's hit-men. Regardless, they'd have hit the proverbial brick wall which was prepared for them - "We have private & personal issues to deal with which we can't even discuss with other members of our family. Thank you for your concern, and it's good to know that we can rely on your support should we need it in the future."

  Repeat, repeat, repeat. They'll soon get the message that they're wasting their time even trying.

  A BreXMAS present for Theresa May?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  her job looks in serious doubt after her brexit deal is comprehensively rejected next month, so she'd be the ideal choice as a presenter for a new version of deal or no deal.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mc9y_vskli.

  potential outcome: deal rejected, and march 30th 2019 sees the uk still in the eu thanks to the implementation of article 50 being suspended/delayed - in order for more talks to prevent the uk "crashing out" without a deal.

  new referendum looms..

  uk prime minister could be out of her job within hours.

  .

  regardless, another referendum on stay/leave looks very likely - now that people can see what the real consequences of a divorce from the eu would be..

  PM's apparent strategy - "I've got no chance of getting this bad deal accepted by any group, so I'll stick with it and force the UK parliament to vote on it and reject it. Then I can blame others for landing the UK in a no-deal calamity." Sheesh!

  Excellent news for you both!!

  The sick teachings of the org's writing committee goes from bad to putrid and the mind-numbing of the average JW is starting to reach fever-pitch.

  The CLAM meeting format & methods are more applicable for prepubescent minds.

  Are r & f Jehovah's Witnesses aware of the fact that their faithful slave-masters exclude them from being members of the Christian congregation?

  w71 7/15 p. 430 par. 8 - Membership in the Christian congregation is strictly limited in number. Jesus spoke of them as a “little flock,” and three times in the book of Revelation the actual number is given as 144,000.

  A helluva lot of JW history is just begging to be re-written electronically!

  Help needed finding an old WT article

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i no longer trust the search engine at the official jw website since they have quietly modified, purged, and expunged—or simply made no longer available—so many old works/pubs., so i'm asking for help finding an old article that likely predates the late 1970s (?).

  i think it was an article rather than in a book, but i can't be sure.

  the article's focus was on what it means for the anointed to be declared righteous.. it's important, i suspect, for grasping the view that whatever the gb decide is completely god-directed, so that, in effect, even though the org might officially deny it, the gb are viewed as infallible in practical terms.

  w74 2/1 p. 96 Questions From Readers - "In the case of those who will rule with Jesus Christ, Jehovah God, on the basis of his Son’s sacrifice, “declares them righteous” and thus views them as being perfect, without sin, while yet in the flesh on earth." (Rom. 8:33)
  

  This is the closest I could find so far.

  w79 9/1 p. 26 par. 11 The Royal “Shepherd” of Bible Prophecy

  The members of this repentant, restored remnant of spiritual Israelites were cleansed and thus made fit to proclaim “this good news of the kingdom” internationally, in “all the inhabited earth.” (Matt. 24:9-14) In this way, by Jehovah’s undeserved kindness through Christ, they were declared righteous or were vindicated. Jehovah proved to be their Backer, their “champion,” and they became his Christian witnesses.

  Noah 'warning the people'

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  am i imagining this?at the kingdom hall we were told many times that noah warned the others about the coming flood and was ridiculed but actually there is no evidence of this in the bible!there is however evidence to the contrary.

  matthew 24:37-39.

  37 as it was in the days of noah, so it will be at the coming of the son of man.

  Purely to contribute to the discussion about the different Bible translation's interpretations:

  People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. NLT

  and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. NIV
  

  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; KJV
  

  and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; NASB

  Devil's advocate: how could the people suddenly understand/realize/know what was happening at the commencement of the flood, if they had no prior conception or information about it?

  They clearly had no faith/belief that such an unbelievable event would take place - despite the fact that the old man and his family were "putting their money where their mouths were" by building a huge wooden structure to float to safety.

  Also, Jesus was making a comparison with the warning which he and his followers would issue to the Jewish nation regarding their impending demise and that of Noah's time.

  The wording/translation quoted in some versions appear to be over-engineered - for whatever reason.

  2 Peter 2:5 says that "Noah was a preacher of righteousness", so at the very least he was telling his contemporaries something which was unappealing.
