  Awake 1990 "I'm Afraid I'll Get Disfellowshipped.

  by Fabian in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  again cleaning/organizing my huge collection of jws books, i happened to go now pick up the 1990 awake and stumbled on this march 22, 1990 page 27. .

  it is true that one cannot back out of a dedication to god.

  (compare ecclesiastes 5:4.

  Fabian ,don`t take any notice of what the JW/WT/GB says they are false prophets that have never got any of there predictions right in over a 140 years .

  So you can safely dismiss anything that comes out of there mouths .

  Its typical of there indoctrination FOG ,Fear ,Obligation,Guilt ,to keep you captive within there religion.

  So what if the JW`s DF you ?Is it the end of the world ?

  What if the SDA DF me ? would i be worried ? No

  What if the LDS/Mormons DF me saying I`m not worthy ,would I be worried ?

  Of course not ,keep it all in perspective ,"Religion is a snare and a racket" .from the president of the JW`s

  Life as a Perfect Human in the New System of Things

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have always wondered how basic things that we do to ourselves will be handled as "perfect" human beings.. i recall someone here had a quote from an old wt that said that if we fall off a roof or something that there will be some "force" to soften the fall and we will not be injured.. but, as a perfect human, if we travel to mexico and drink water from the tap, will we get the squirts, flying shits, montezuma's revenge, or whatever you wish to call it?

  maybe we will be protected as perfect human beings and have colons that also are perfect.

  but who knows.. just pondering these common things that we take for granted.. rub a dub.

  Adam and Eve were perfect and they stuffed up ?

  So what makes you think you won`t also ?

  Being perfect doesn`t mean you can`t stuff up ,

  So what`s the difference of being perfect and not being perfect ?

  Seriously there can`t be anybody who really truly believe the earth is flat like a coin can there ?

  When you look at the moon or any of the planets through a telescope it is obvious they are a sphere /globe.

  When the astronauts took photos of the earth from the moon it is obvious that the earth is a sphere/globe.

  And for those who still have there head up there arse it wasn`t just one moon landing there have been six over the years with a total of twelve humans who have walked on the moon .

  So I don`t believe anybody in there right mind still accept that the earth is flat .

  Never in my wildest dream would I ever see one of those dog gone carts

  2. experiences

  i moved to where i'm currently living for 10 years now.

  once in a while, i would have jws come to my door and every single time either i or my husband would send them on their merry way, although my husband is quite rude about it.

  i'm not sure when the cart witnessing (or whatever it is called) started up, but the only time i ever heard about it was on the internet, or someone here talking about it.

  Of course its a young kid who is manning the cart who has no idea of all the flip flops ,false prophecies of the end times in over 140 years of the big "A" and the GT being just around the corner which by the way is on a roundabout ,so its never going to happen .

  Seriously ? this is what they have stooped to ?

  So pathetic.,

  In Bible time`s, Israel under a Theocracy their were still wars with other nations ,their was still a leprosy colony among them ,and it was stated their will always be the poor among you ,with a provision for them in the law.

  It doesn`t sound like utopia/ paradise to me thank you .

  Can you imagine Jesus copywriting what he has said ? or any of the authors of the Bible books copywriting what they have spoken about ?

  Or giving out subpoenas to those who distributed their words to the general public ?

  How about Jehovah copywriting the word of GOD ?

  He could have a field day giving out subpoenas to all of those that publish his works surely .

  Has Anyone ever turned down to be on the Governing Body?

  I think their would be just like many of us I`m sure turned down being an Elder in a congregation it was just not something we wanted to be.

  I was happy and content just being a MS without the added pressure / responsibility of being an Elder .

  However you would never know about it , because that is not something they would advertise someone knocking back a GB nomination .

  the is on page 4 of the 2014 yearbook.. a letter from the governing body.

  how delighted we are to write you at the beginning of this momentous year!

  A whole century has passed since JC has ruled in the midst of his enemies ?

  None of his enemies have seemed to notice that .? I wonder why .

  This is now 2019 and his enemies are still unware of it .So JC ruling as King hasn`t made any impact at all on his enemies even after 100 years ?

  I think Jehovah needs to appoint someone else JC seems to be incompetent.

  Jehovah used his own spirit-begotten sons to provide the original New World Translation.

  So the GB are claiming to be "spirit -begotten sons" that provided the original NWT.

  So why the need to revise the original ? if Gods spirit directed the 1953 original ?

  Did he make mistakes ? that needed to be clarified ?

  Check out the Kingdom Interlinear translation of the Greek into English by the WTB&TS

  Nowhere in the word for word translation of the Greek into English does the Hebrew Tetragrammaton appear or its Greek equivalent four letters.

  The spirit begotten sons of the GB have added to the word of God by inserting the name of Jehovah in the Christian Greek scriptures where it did not appear in the original text that they based their translation on.

  Rev.22 : 18 ,19

  My heart goes out to those PIMO for whatever reason you remain so ,however sooner or later it just becomes too much to bear and you can`t keep that up any longer ,then you become a POMO and then the anxiety ,stress ,ill health ,leaves your body and a wave of relief sets in that you haven`t felt in many years .

  New Textbook For Elders

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have to say that i found item 3 on the above page raised questions in my mind.

  if an elder is deleted presumably for wrongdoing the hard copy text book is taken off him and destroyed.

  but who ensures that any electronic copies of the book in his possession are deleted?

  And what if the Elder refuses to hand over his copy for whatever reason ? maybe because he has seen TTATT ?

  What are they going to do about it ?
