  January 2020 WT, earthly hope

  by neat blue dog in

  one of the latest wts rehashes this core jw theology.

  i know it's old hat, but i feel it's always worth pointing out, as it's one of the major things to wake me up and it's relatively easily proven using the bible alone.. throughout the bible, there aremany examples of men of faith who re-ceived holy spirit; yet, they did not havethe hope of living in heaven.

  john the baptistwas “filled with holy spirit.” (luke 1:13-16) jesus said that there was no mangreater than john, but then he said thatjohn would not be included in the heav-enly kingdom.

  Dealing With Smelly People

  i can never understand why some people simply stink.they don’t smell themselves??

  i knew of certain jws that had to be counseled many times because they refused to regularly bathe, wash their hair or use deodorant.

  and it’s not just witnesses.

  Canadians and Europeans, what do you think of your national health care ?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have been in a battle over health care for so long here in the us regarding public, private, gov't subsidized, obama care, medicare for all, and just about every permutation of the above.. we hear the horror stories here that people wait 20 years for a check-up (ok, bit of an exaggeration), but you get the point.

  one side tells us that canadians flock across the border when they are sick and need to see a doctor.

  the other side says that is simply not the case.. so tell us, if you live under one of the government systems would you replace it?

  I heard of an Illinois resident (US citizen) who had no insurance but needed a lung transplant. The doctors asked for $500,000.00 UPFRONT to do the needed surgery. He, of course, did not have that much money, so he moved to Canada, became a legal resident, and got his lung transplant FREE from the Canadian government. I don’t think that was right, but I guess he did what he had to do to survive. I think the US needs national health care.

  Not official representatives?

  by Lost in the fog in

  just copying this article from a us newspaper website.

  it was the section of the article that said, ".

  when a reporter asks about jehovah's witness beliefs, a church elder refers her to the website jw.org, explaining that the quinoneses and wellses aren't official church spokespersons.".

  opening comments/food for thought.

  i first asked myself, why does the wts sometimes use the word “servant” then “slave”?

  I used to always wonder, as a kid, why the “weaker spiritually “ members always seemed more Christlike than the “ company men”.

  Publisher ID - I Saw It In Person & It Was Terrifying!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower

  i'd like to start off this post by saying, we all know that the wt loves control.

  it's clear by their history, their wt's, the elder arrangement and so on.

  however, after witnessing and using the publish id program in person, it takes this need for control to a whole new level & it was scary.. if you've ever seen builder assist (the website program used for ldc volunteers) or the metro program, it actually looks pretty similar to that.
