Whenever anyone claims to speak to you in the Name of GOD,simply reject them as Charlatans
by smiddy3 inall of the names attributed to the almighty god are nothing more than the inventions and imaginations of imperfect human beings.. their are only four hebrew letters that are attributed to god in the hebrew scriptures known as the tetragrammaton usually translated as jhvh or more accurately yhwh .. their is no tetragrammaton or it`s equivalent in the christian greek scriptures which can easily be attested to by looking at the kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures of the new testament published by the wtb&ts a word for word translation of the greek text.. anything other than that is an addition of imperfect humans to put a name to those letters and not one that the creator has endorsed or verified with his stamp of approval to this day.. the wtb&ts published "aid to bible understanding" in their first edition they said words to the effect that the name jehovah was the most commonly used in christendom/the world ,so that was the name they adopted.. { it had nothing to do with divine revelation or a voice from god or holy spirit it was because it was the most popular use of that name in christendom }.

All of the names attributed to the Almighty God are nothing more than the inventions and imaginations of imperfect human beings.
Their are only four Hebrew letters that are attributed to GOD in the Hebrew Scriptures known as the Tetragrammaton usually translated as JHVH or more accurately YHWH .
Their is no Tetragrammaton or it`s equivalent in the Christian Greek scriptures which can easily be attested to by looking at the Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures Of The New Testament published by the WTB&TS a word for word translation of the Greek Text.
Anything other than that is an addition of imperfect humans to put a name to those letters and not one that the Creator has endorsed or verified with his stamp of approval to this day.
The WTB&TS published "Aid to Bible Understanding" in their first edition they said words to the effect that the name Jehovah was the most commonly used in Christendom/the World ,so that was the name they adopted.
{ It had nothing to do with divine revelation or a voice from God or Holy Spirit it was because it was the most popular use of that name in Christendom }

New Letter: Announcements and Reminders
by Brian J inletter dated 1/1/2018.
i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.
to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.

The first part of the form will contain information for the elders only. If there are announcements for the congregation, these will appear on a separate page of the form. Instructions on the form will indicate which announcements are to be read to the congregation and/or posted on the information board when applicable
When i was first contacted 59 years ago now ,it was emphasized that their is/was no Clergy laity class among Jehovah`s Witnesses .
It was obviously a lie then as it is now.
{Note : They do claim Clergy /Laity Penitent in a court of law don`t they }
"The rank and file of Jehovah`s Witnesses are like mushrooms keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit" .

Will the Watchtower Corporation continue to lie and deceive just to sustain itself into the future ?
by Finkelstein inthe wts has been selling and promoting christ's return and the end times since the late 1800's, right through all of the 20th century and still continues today on the same core doctrinal premise.. 1914 was set as a year of christ taking position upon his heavenly throne followed by choosing the wts as his earthly guided organization in 1919 according to the wts.
leaders at that time.. the actual truth is that the wts is a publishing house and it was inherently pressed to make up doctrines which would gravitate attention to its published goods, accurate and honest bible interpretation was a second lesser concern.. the original heads of this religious publishing house (c t russell) first proclaimed that christ had returned in 1874 and 1914 was going to be the year jesus was going to cleanse the earth of all wickedness etc.
this was obviously a false doctrine tainted with ignorance and a bit of commercialization in reality.. so the question remains what will the wts do in the future, what will the wts do as far as doctrines to allure the general public at large ?

Every time they have proclaimed "New Light" they have lied to cover up mistakes/errors they have made .It has worked for them for so long in the past so why would they change it now.?
So yes they will continue to lie using the same ploy of "New Light" to cover future errors/mistakes that they will undoubtedly make.

smiddy3
it's funny how JWs are told not even to look at/read/listen to apostate words; yet apostate words spoken by Satan himself are sprinkled throughout the bible
Good point boc
Your point also brings to mind how JW`s shun/fear/hate apostates yet Jehovah God, Christ Jesus with the Holy Spirit interacted with Satan for thousands of years and they never shunned him.. ?. . . .

Local elder dies of starvation
by Steel inwell , not really.. our hall recently had a secret collection for our head elder who is almost on the verge of becoming homeless.
i guess he lost some cleaning contracts because his clients were just sick of his no shows because of his pioneer work.
there is always something more important to do than earn a living.. this is the same assholes he is always shaming people to not doing enough.
