anybody seen a sign posted in a kingdom/assembly hall or another 'spiritual' place that made them laugh?
i saw a sign in a janitor's closet at one assembly that said something like.
'make sure to return your key to this supply closet.. 1 corinthians 14:40: 'do everything in an orderly fashion.'.

Cause make sure you return your key apparently just don't cut it.
just recently i was looking at a topic on jwfacts entitled 'paradise on earth forever.
' from the research paul did on this topic he mentioned that there is no biblical evidence of an earthly resurrection.
i haven't heard this before but wanted to get some thoughts on this topic.
Early Christians believed a lot of different things about the kingdom and what that involved. 'Matthew' refers to a 'recreation' on earth and 'John' talks about rooms in heaven apparently and the church father Papias tells this story about Jesus predicting grape vines growing thousands of grapes a cluster and Judas scoffing at that; but in the Goapel of Judas Jesus shows Judas a grand home in heaven 'reserved for the holy.' The Asian elders like John and Aristion taught some Christians got paradise, some got New Jerusalem, and others got heaven. 'John' in Revelation predicts an earthly paradise, centered about New Jerusalem, and the 'heretic' Cerinthus predicted the same basic thing except with lots of sex and animal sacrifice.
The point being: early Christians predicted lots of different things.
Guess what? None of it came true. None of it will ever come true.
In the gospel of Thomas the disciples ask Jesus when the kingdom's gonna come, and he replies, the kingdom is spread out across the earth already.
Open your front door. Welcome to paradise. Go listen to the birds sing and watch the sunrise, dip your hand in a stream, savor a good cup of coffee, hold someone you love. There aint nothing better to look forward to.
jws don't say, "i am a jehovah's witness.".
instead, they say, "i am one of jehovah's witnesses.".
what does the second way of saying it convey that the first does not?.
It's another one of their feel special things, we're not a denomination of Christianity we're Christianity restored. As far as I'm concerned that's all it cones down to.
hi everyone, i got the news that the lawsuit against the watchtower for the child abuse issue has been accepted in quebec(canada).
that means it can proceed further.
it is a first victory.
We came up with child sex abuse because we didn't want to go knock on doors?
...
I'm leaning towards troll. You can't be this stupid and callous. I refuse to believe you're this stupid and callous.
And that's all I'm going to say about that, enjoy your weekend. I'm gonna get a cup of coffee and start my day.
i would have to say now that practically every has one what do you think this will means for situations at bethel, will more and more get wise that the governing body are just conmen?
.
i think things are already very unsettling with all the leaked private information from so many sectors of the watchtower corporation's confidential stuff on the internet to me bespeaks something major is in the works back there in the spiritual pair dice..
I agree completely. Too many people can access too much information, it's that's simple. The Governing Body want everything by the book or by the letter or the video these days, it's not word-of-mouth where you just deny you ever said, and that means sensitive information gets spread abroad to lots and lots of people. They're more deluded than they come across already if they think they got enough fingers to plug all the holes holes they drilled in their own ship.

I mean I don't know how these things work, somebody could ask Atlantis if he's willing to share but honestly it's probably better he doesn't, but all you need is a flash drive, I can't imagine you can trace those or know who they belong to when you stick them in a port, and all you need is two minutes to copy the files you want when Brother Superior goes to make a cup of coffee or use the bathroom. And then you just leak it through your own data plan instead of using the Warwick Wi-Fi that 'responsible brothers' so 'lovingly' monitor.
You can't keep secrets forever. The more secrets you have, the more secrets get out.
more subpoenas have been added.
so the watchtower is getting close to 50. i think there are about 44 of them listed here.
brumley the witchhunter!.
Man the faithful slave sure does put donated funds to good use. Child sex abuse lawsuits and settlements, business class flights, best lawyers in the country, I mean how much more faithful could they be?
i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.
initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.
however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.
Incognito, well said. It means at some level you worry that they'll get angry with you or try to shame you. Real friends don't do that.

You got their number? Tell them by text and block their number, or leave a note on the door that they'll see when they arrive and dont open it when they knock, you don't even need to talk to them directly.
