  If the new Governing body Saunderson was baptised in 1975 - you could be anointed too

  by bruh2012 in

  someone mention on another thread about the newest- youngest governing body member- if he is anointed being baptised around 1975 why wouldnt anyone else baptised around that time be anointed too!.

  right ???

  or since the call to be anointed ended in 1935 teaching became no more with new light - is it random choosing now??

  Any adult JW could be anointed. Jehovah chooses them.

  Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

  when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

  this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

  ONE REASON

  out of interest, and to formulate a cordial chat, would you give your top one reason for your belief or non belief?.

  my foremost 'one reason' for non belief is:.

  the historical evidence that provides an explination and timeline for how the modern religious doctrine's and dogma developed over time.. .

  Lois, in our case it's a mixed blessing. Our COBE is very theocratic and does the job well, but he has been ill for a couple of months now, so I think everyone would reluctantly agree that he should step aside.

  I hope this is not true. Our beloved COBE is over 80 years old. Our patriarch.

  i hear that a recent talk was about taking care of one's aging parents.

  i agree.

  generally, kids should take care of aging parents.

  carla, to answer your question, yes.

  Paragraph 8 on page 21 states: "...adult Christian children have an obligation to make sure that their parents' material needs are met. Paul was discussing believing relatives, but parents who are not members of the Christian congregation should not be neglected."
