JWs don't consider older WT as revelant
by enoughisenough ini am relating this happening.
i shared some thoughts from the 1989 question from readers concerning christ being mediator between god and man ( the wt spinning that he isn't ) and also the paragraph in that same article that plainly says: clearly, then the new covenant is not a loose arrangement open to all mankind.
it is a carefully arranged legal provision involving god and anointed christians.

Jehovah`s Witnesses don`t have a clergy class until they are in a court of law and asked a question they don`t want to answer and then they, all of a sudden claim clergy privilege.?
You can`t make this stuff up

turns out that wt non-leaders should consult ai instead of relying on their writing department.. ai writes:.
"in the bible, sheep are often used as a metaphor for followers of god or believers.

Who is AI ? I`m sorry I thought AI was Artificial Intelligence ? And if so ,why would you trust AI ? for your answers ?
And not your own thought out reasoning ?

New Convention Song “ It Will Not Be Late”
by BluesBrother inthis made me chuckle.
a new song that they are encouraged to practice for the convention.. “ we know your day will come, sure as the rising sun.
no matter how long it takes , it will not be late” …………... it is based on habakkuk 2 , we discussed this in depth around 1973/1974.

"do not forget that the timescale predictions have come from the human reasoning of the Watchtower Society and not from God himself"…
And yet God himself / herself has kept silent all these years and continues to do so , more than 2,000 years and counting.

It`s just another way the GB /JW Org. alienates their young / potential MS servant / Elders ,pioneers etc,etc,
Well maybe that`s not such a bad thing .

All the Old JW Acquaintances Passing Away
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, my dad told me an older sister passed away.
she wasn't too old (in her 60s), but i knew her 30 years ago and haven't seen her in 15 years; the main reason being that i faded 10 years ago.. yesterday, i seriously considered attending the funeral and catch-up with old jws i used to know.
after thinking it over, i decided against it.

This is a good topic.
I have been out for many, many years ,and I still find myself reluctant to identify myself as a former JW with the many circle of friends I now have with the two clubs I frequent each week.
I have often thought about it but the subject of religion has just not come up.......... yet.
I think it would be very interesting as to their response / attitude to this revelation, as I have been out / in this community for the past 30 odd years .
I do not believe i have a problem with identifying myself as a former JW ,it`s just the fact that the opportunity has never arisen.
Religion is not a preferred subject of my associates .

One thing that J.F.Rutherford said, that is fact .
"Religion is a Snare and a Racket "
Jumping from the pot into the frying pan does not solve anything, it`s still just wishful thinking.
