  Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  it appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

  To take issue with the o.p. and support St George of England, Br Splane stated ,in his video explanation of the 'generation ' ,that all members of th GB are anointed & of the second part of "this generation ".

  BUT...all current members of the GB were helpers to previous GB members and there is a WT, after 1992, that states all helpers were of the great crowd thus NOT ONE of the current GB was anointed in 1992 which was the magic year they used in their broadcast to define that "second generation" that overlapped with the lives of the "first" (F.Franz death).

  
  

  The current GB members are all part of the "third generation" that neither saw 1914 nor were anointed at the time of living with an anointed person who did see 1914.

  
  

  The whole overlapping thing collaspes due to many points but this point is fundamental.

  I'm actually going to the KH to see paragraph 12 discussed...first time back in 5 years after fading...I'm looking forward to the questions as to why I popped back for this meeting.

  My answer will be well it is nice to see the GB admit that Jehoover has nothing to do with WT doctrines or policies because that is why I left!

  Are there 'ultra strict' congregations?

  when i studied as a young adult, it was in one of those congregations.

  having viewed the religion as a quaint little band of christians it conpletely dumbfounded me when i was told about such rules as 1 - no beards.

  2 - you must wear a suit to meetings and while giving a talk.

  It's tit for tat...as I was pushing to become a MS I got counselled for not wearing a "suit" on the TMS by the PO...years later when I was an elder his son, who was pushing to become a MS, gave a talk with no jacket...you can guess what I brought up when we discussed him at an elder meeting.

  PO was raging...one rule for other people and one rule for friends and family.

  Seen it way too many times...JW's have the massive issue in that the leaders cherry pick when they choose what to press as law when opinion.

  Sick of it. So glad I got out.

  How can you thank Jehovah for a win in a major and at the same time do the humpy bumpy catepillar dance whilst unmarried and think he still blesses you?

  Is the fact she is now pregnant mean Jehoover will not bless her results?

  Go bags?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i heard recently that there was a talk given at the kh about having a 'go bag' ready because the big 'a' must be soooo close as evidenced by syria and the russian jobo thing.. does anyone know if this 'go bag' thing is substantiated in publications or just a local nut job being paranoid and attention seeking?.

  i also wonder about this 'go bag' thing, apparently, you need to make sure your biscuits (that's cookies to my over the pond friends), are not out of date.

  don't carry water, it's too heavy.. too many questions do i have.

  i seriously doubt that any jw understanding of prophecy has ever withstood the test of time.

  how can anyone trust them when they are always wrong?

  Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions

  what is it with this pair?

  why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?

  a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

  To be fair that is problem with most J-dubs, especially men. I am Cedars age and was born into the religion. I have this problem too. You are raised to feel like you're better than everyone else and you have an innate sense of being right when everyone else is wrong. The effects of this can last a lifetime.

  So do you think it is wise to then be an activist? To be in the public eye so to speak? To therefore be reasonable? Mild? Open to discussion? Willing to admit you are wrong? Willing to take advice?

  If you are going to be an activist like Cedars is then I'm sorry but you need to show certain characteristics that come with a more public facing persona.

  And he doesn't...he now has divided exjws because some like him some do not. The opposite of what should be happening...the exjw community should be getting stronger as more come out but it is getting fragmented with camps...its almost like they are bitter, mentally-diseases apostate! Well...that is how they will be viewed by dubs who are on the fence and come across their videos of activists attacking each other.

  I have nothing against the man personally, I do not know him but some of the things he does I do not like but it is his attitude, especially when it comes to constructive criticism, on forums, that shows he is lacking in these areas.
