  Works? I see virtually every group engaging in charity, working for causes (even ones I disagree with) with one exception.

  with the current discussion if someone in his twenties can be elder or not.

  Lucky. I gave you a like for sarcasm followed by truth.

  I have more smarts, compassion, empathy than most elders. Where I fail is judgementalism. We see that in committees and their inconsistent/inhumane rulings.

  I spaced outxsnd missed the start. What I got was a family to maintain kingdom halls. Training provided if needed. I think the family part is to get enough bodies that are following isolation protocols. The last instructions were to not have people from different households being together.

  I used to enjoy working with dad, and later my son. Better than DTD.

  New pilot programs for returning to halls. I was hoping they failed. Meanwhile covid is running rampant according to the statements after meeting. No hospitalizations and takes from a few days to a few weeks to heal. Same bs, different source.

  SETTING LIMITS ON HOW TO LOVE by the the Guardians of Our Doctrines (G. O. D)

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a balanced view of jesus’ role.

  like those in christendom, the early bible students mistakenly allowed their love for jesus to overshadow their relationship with jehovah.

  beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship.

  When the elder arrangement came in I was told the end was so close the CO would not be around for the second year appointments. I was a study conductor then. Reminds me of that scripture about comparing themselves to themselves. I was never in the right crowd

  That Timothy age is not stated in the bible. In one talk he is in his 30s, next talk ( to make a different point) he is still a fuzzy cheeked teenager. Just like there presumptions about his father.

  Still the old boys club in the way. Back when I did want to reach out i was plainly told to give up. They had the 5 buddies and didn't want or need any more.

  I can see the next one here, young, good looking, no interest in girls, good speaker.

  Faith-Apostasy-Atheism

  by DoubtingThomas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.

  that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!

  maybe some of you will come to their senses!.

  Journey from believing god has a name that identifies him apart from others to wondering. Then agnosticism. Then atheism; but wonder where "stuff" originated.

  Works are supposed to be a sign. I see good things from churches, jews, muslims, athiests. Guess who falls off the list?

  Should young children peddle Watchtower Society literature?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing i always disliked about the watchtower society is how they use young children tp peddle their literature.

  my mom insisted that my brother (12 years old) and i (9 years old) go out in field service every saturday morning.

  didn't matter if it was 90 degrees or 20 degrees, we were out peddling watchtower magazines.

  Parents try to live through their children. Things like sports, music, politics. Where it goes wrong is witnesses do not instill life skills regarding work and education. Even the morals are somewhat phony

  Way too close. Along with 1984, Mad Max, and idiocracy.

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  That explains how I am a revolutionary war minute man, mtn. man, civil war vet, and cowboy. Here I thought it was my imagination.
