Lightning from heaven 🤯
Actually a reprimand and reminder, maybe privately. We aint sd supposed to enjoy anything except spiritual stuff and it is envious to wish for a day off, vacation, family get together. They are getting their reward in full. ( we get no reward at all but dont realize it until old age
a friend says the wt gives a substantial sum to retiring cos. he says one bought land and built near him, a desirable rural area.
i think it must have been saved green handshake money or inherited.. btw this man also thinks the gb are the smartest men alive..
I knew the family of said retired CO from my childhood and later as adult. Decent people, working class. There had to be inheritance, insurance
it seems to be unclear if things like public or private reproofs and details around those events being recorded and traveling with you.
it seems like the details are largely part of whatever judicial paperwork there is and not necessarily attached to your publisher card permanently.
i changed congregations a few years ago and it appears the letter the body wrote only covered the most recent issue and said nothing of a reproof that had happened a few years prior.
Beforexthey became hidden they just listed name, baptism, annointed, and sales record. There must be other secret files.

Reducing the book study to allow a GB update is fine by me. 10 minutes material to fill 30.
Some of us wondered about the pioneer push at the time
who has more power in the body of elders in watchtower.
is it the cboe, secretary, service overseer or who?
i am just wondering since in my congo there seems to be cowards among them..
DOC true. That and good old boys club and family. "Pillars of the congregation"
i was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.
anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?.
Dang. I fell asleep now i will have to ask for cliff notes. One thing, the talks are written so it is uniform every week. Barely time allowed for local needs which used to be the reason for a CO visit
"Big changes" are usually underwhelming.
in one of the videos there was a mention of how hard the great eight work.
i noticed that they had to decide how to use donated money---not dedicated money.
a subtle difference..

this week i have to travel a long way by car with my 75 year old father.. he was a liberal elder, but with climbing of the years and the correct covid trouble, hé takes all possibility's to let me know the chaos is what we expected and the big a is around the corner.
because of the love and respect i have for him, i want to avoid the conversation, but that will be very dificult.. now i have the idea to talk with him about the conversation at it self, if he starts his endtime speech about woke, gender and putin.. i have a flowchart that i want to discribe the risks of the conversation.. whould this work out?
to talk about the meta factors of the conversation?.
Just agree. It sounds like he will not remember much anyway.
jesus had foretold that people of "last days" would “faint out of fear” because of things such as “sea-level rise’ as part of “signs of last days” in luke 21:25. bible translators—including new world translation of jehovah’s witnesses—missed the real meaning as they translated it as “roaring of the sea and its agitation.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/nwt/books/luke/21/).
more careful translations such as niv put it: “roaring and tossing of the sea.” (https://biblehub.com/luke/21-25.htm) word for “tossing” is σάλου (salou), from saino; i.e., billow,” (swell outwards).
thus underlying thought is like balloon swelling, or water flowing outwards, as though ready to roll over, thus points to the modern terminology “sea-level rise.” biblos interlinear translation (int:) translates it as “of [the] sea and rolling surge.” “rolling sea.” (a greek lexicon to the new testament, edward robinson (d.d., page 416) (a greek lexicon to the new testament on the basis of dr. robinson ... by c. robson).. jesus’ original use of the wording “tossing of the sea” is another way of saying “sea-level would rise” as a result of pollution of air.
Risking not taking my own advice. The WT is full on board with climate change, same as earthquakes, you know, ruining the earth.
Didnt jesus say men would be weenies?
