  Who has the authority to decern what the bible really teaches?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i ask because of all the books, mags and testimonies that the wts promotes.

  not only the wts, but many other christians attempt to speak about the bible with authority.

  how do we measure who is an authority if we don't know that much?.

  Scholars?

  Luckily, Geoffrey Jackson is supposedly a "scholar."

  the brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (august 2016 - pages 20 - 29) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this week’s wt “study” and the week after.

  first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.

  you will not be given any training for this part of your role.

  Okay. I thought this was the source of the quote. I was obviously mistaken, though this quote still sounds familiar to me. I guess we'll have to wait for zeb to answer.

  darkspliver, I believe this quote is from the video recordings of the investigation. You can find the videos on Youtube, but I don't know on which day it was said, assuming that it was said, of course.

  Do they know what 7.5 billion dead bodies look like?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.

  "let the eye feel no sorrow".

  sick bastards..

  JW's Are All About Free Will Now

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the january 2017 watchtower:.

  first paragraph reads: when faced with making a personal choice, one woman told a friend: “do not make me think; just tell me what to do.

  that is easier.” the woman preferred being told what to do instead of using a precious gift from her creator, the gift of free will.

  The perfect way to enslave people: tell them they have the free will to do things but will die if they disobey their superiors. Then this free will becomes just an illusion that in actuality keeps people enslaved.

  WAIT... WHAT???

  There was some kind of a special meeting? A campaign...? What the hell...?

  No, seriously... What the hell? How did I not know this? I am an unbaptised Witness, still officially recognised as an unbaptised publisher, but I just faded around three or four months ago. I was a Witness in good standing in the congregation, and other Witnesses often praised me for my "wisdom" and thinking capabilities, which I presented in each answer I gave. (Despite being young, I never read from the magazines but put every answer in my own words; additionally, I did extra research.) Yet, no Jehovah's Witness knocked on my door because of this campaign to invite me to this special meeting. As a side note, there is an elder who lives at the same street as I do. It's literally 3–5 minutes of walk to get to his house. He was the one that studied the Bible with me and took me to the meetings. I thought they cared about my well-being and my life... Am I not going to die during the Armageddon? Do they not care out of the blue?

  And like OnTheWayOut, don't get me wrong. I don't care. I am happy that I'm left alone. I'm just surprised... I thought somebody would have visited me by now.

  it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

  The only negative thing about this guy that I saw was being on a phone during the meal... And even that is debatable. In reality, it would probably happen only once at a time during some very important event.

  And watching basketball and cars? Well, if a girl thinks a guy shouldn't have hobbies then she isn't ready for a serious relationship... (Same goes for guys; if a guy thinks a girl shouldn't have hobbies he also is too immature.)

  Having that said, I don't see any reason to break off the relationship... God, this cult is so embarrassing...
