Umbertoecho here.

by umbertoecho in

hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.

helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.

i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

BOE 2015-10-24 TO PUBLISHERS LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE TO ADVANCE THE GOOD NEWS

Participating in a forgein language group was instrumental in waking me up. It's a circus. A lot of the people drawn to it are absolutely crazy. Many want to prestige of being like missionaries but don't really want to eat weird food or sit on that brown person's floor. And there is so little thought given to how this is supposed to work.

There was a "need" in my circuit but it wasn't in my congregation territory. We were willing to drive some distance and really threw ourselves into it, learning to read an obscure Asian language in a relatively short period of time. Obviously this took some time. So the service committee decided to counsel me on the amount of time spent doing this because they can't see me in service. Wow ok Matt 6:1-4 much? Obviously not. Better to be seen at Starbucks in your local territory. The Borg most know there usually aren't enough local pioneers and publishers to really get these groups going but there is nothing about that in writing leaving it to the discretion of the local elders to direct this. Good job. They say they are focused on the ministry but I don't think so.

Didn't get the Watchtower today at all

i know it's dumb to think it would make sense.

i've been telling myself to lay low because everytime i ask a question now my husband says i have a negative attitude and i sound like an apostate.

hmmm wonder why.

Pioneerbot

Thanks for the advice. We are going through a family tragedy. Will try to bring it up at a better time.

You're right @divergent I focused on the first tree that presented itself & missed the forest.

Yes that's it @divergent I just noticed the link key on the comment box. I'm slow with this stuff. Must be because my brain is 10% smaller. I know no one noticed in the congregation we attended because everyone was lapping up the idea they were Gods children. It was practically a revival meeting. Can I get an amen?

@berrygerry I like that. I will work on that. Oddly enough I've been postponing a fade to protect him but this would provide the right cover. And he suggested it.

@berrygerry my husband suggested I write in to the society and ask. I told him that would not be wise. I guess I should be more respectful.

Hmmm wonder why. Anyway there have been several articles within recent memory that really hammered home that the great crowd aren't God's children until after the 1000 years are up. I read the posts in another thread and looked up a bunch on my own. So how can they spend the whole Watchtower droning on about what a loving Father God is? I asked my husband that and he said of course he's our Father because he made us. The closest the watchtower gets to this is in discussing Acts 17 where Paul says (RNWT) that we are his children that we his product. Wow thanks dad that sounds real loving. I can't find a scripture they use to back the idea that God is the father of the great crowd now. I know it's all nonsense but how do people not notice this stuff?
