would like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with the so called ' anointed ' .
Known several. One middle aged sister married with children. I asked her once how it came about that she was annointed. She said that she always had an internal feeling that she was. She prayed to Jehovah to give her a sign if she really was of the annointed.
One day she drops her bible on the floor and it lay open to the very page that talks about anointed ones. That was her sign.
this is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.
satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.
this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".
may 10th, the whole study was about covering up their mistakes, and putting it off on "recent refinements of understandings".. you could just look at the elder on stage and know he was not feelin this study.. when a neewbie answered and said" lots of unexpected changes are happening" i about fell outta my seat !

Never heard the word cheezer before. I wonder if it is a variation from cheshire, as in the cheshire cat? Possibly a colloquialism?
i havent gone to meetings in about 1 year and a half.
one of my neighbors who is a jw-lady told me that the co on the last visit said that its very likely that right after armageddon (which is just around the corner) the present governing body members will be in charge of the united states since they are familiar with the culture.
and that the apostles and early christians will be in charge of areas like china.
As rulers of the USA all property will go to them, so publishers will not be able to randomly pick and choose the houses they want to move into after Jehovah kills 99.9% of humanit as in the past. This is new light.
Since they rule, you will have to fill out applications and get their approval on what house you will get. Once you get your new home reserved, you will need to start making monthy payments to them to hold your reservation until armagedon.
yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.
they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.
elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".
Bring your tablet in a backpack next time and watch the reaction. I loved doing things like this before leaving for good.
Then after you stop going they are less likely to pursue you because they really don't like brothers with a B. A.

(this is not true of my mother but just like a mirror image of my sister.
also reminds me of the dynamics of the wt org.
however, they may have missed their window for the appeal being 6 months after the commission said they would investigate them last june.

i would like to know if anthony morris really has the particle "iii" in his name.
i was looking how to ask about it and i found to ask his brothers.. in the watchtower 15 5/15 you can read in the article "remembering my first love has helped me to endure": .
i must confess, however, that when i first learned the truth, i was not very tactful, especially when i talked to my immediate family.
If you google his name along with the word 'adoption' you will find a discussion where it is speculated that he was adopted. Someone named Sue from Michigan who claims to be his cousin, sets the record straight that he was not. His brothers may very well live in that area. It would be interesting to hear what they think of him.
