  "Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? "

  Now they changed it to :

  "Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with His spirit anointed association?"

  The "spirit-directed " has become "spirit -anointed"

  AND

  "the organization" has become "association"

  Has any one else notice the changes ?Why do you think they changed it again?

  WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway

  by sir82 in

  more haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.

  tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.

  the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

  they send a strong message with this video :the old elder represents the older generation of elders that could still use their judgement and trained Christian conscience to reach a desicion ,the young elders represents the new generation of elder that go by the book ,not the Bible ,but the modern "Talmud" as the Pharishees did .No more Bible trained conscience ,no more critical thinking ONLY mechanicanical unloving bastards .This means war ! In every sence ,everything we loved and cared as Witnesses are being destroyed from these 9 morons in New York .They truly are the "wicked slave" prophesied in Matthew

  BREAKING NEWS: Watchtower's Charitable Status UNDER THREAT in Britain !

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  there is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?

  they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .

  at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .

  Christ Alone : The word organisation doesn't exist in the Bible .Jesus is not very much into organizations since he said that two or three gathered in his name are enough to have his attention .Go and worship your GB idol ,they don't have much time ,soon they will face their Lord ,he is not very forgiving when it comes to hypocrites .You are yourself by blindly following men and not your Lord and Saviour Jesus

  SIMON : I'm not taking sides, the papers and public forums describe these Secularists ,christian haters ,I don't .

  Freedom of Speech ,that includes your freedom to insult other people's faith or take a radical stance on homosexuality ,is under attack from the new censorship laws .There is currently a pettition for a change in this law from a group of mp's and others with Rowan Atkinson at the front, these people can see behind the law and are concerned for the future of our democracy in Britain

  there is an underground attack on Christianity in Britain that can be found on many levels of society and goverment today :

  1. Homosexual interests are promoted and supported hidden behind equality rights

  2. Laws are passed that allow for higher scrutiny of religious groups that hide behind charitable status

  3.Free Speech is threatened by new Censorship Laws

  I don't think this is a coincidence but a taste of things to come
