according to you tubers mike and kim and son of thunder, egyptian branch closing.
son of thunder is saying he has relatives that we're running bethel in egypt for years and they have been let go reassigned as special pioneers yet according to him this job no longer pays a wage.
he also states that 5000 total bethelites world wide are being let go.
Very interesting since there is no such thing as an Egyptian Bethel and never has been. The work is strictly forbidden and there is no such thing as special pioneers in that country. The handfull of JWs are VERY strictly monitored and keep an extremely low profile.
"Egyptian Bethel" - yeah, sure, a well-informed source. Nonsense.
in stalin's ussr the science of genetics was deemed "reactionary and decadent".
scientists were sent to the gulags or simply disappeared.
dmitri konstantinovich belyaev lost his job at the at the central research laboratory of fur breeding in moscow because of his commitment to classical genetics.
i am not a jehovah's witness, never have been.
i am a former christian (mostly baptist background) and have been an atheist since 1999. .
my question is this - are there any books (not official watch tower publications) published by any jw's?
a new letter was posted in jw.org to the elders who are under the brazilian branch:.
january 25, 2016to all bodies of eldersref .
: clap when given a readmission addear brothers:we would like to inform you about a recent adjustment.
... we considered inappropriate for the congregation clap when the elders ...But, as explained in The Watchtower May 2016, page 32, there Biblical reasons
"inappropriate for the congregation clap" and "there Biblical" - is that an English that you would find in a WT letter?
hi everyone.. thanks for the welcome a few days ago, it was nice to hear your support.. this is a pure speculation thread, but what do you think the next changes are going to be?.
will we see tything come into play?.
more evangelical style meetings?.
Mr. Templar's third point "not just formal door to door. This will usher in a new method of field service for the rank and file of just speaking to people that they meet using a tablet or smart phone. This will dispose of the door to door work as being a staple. You can go door to door if you want, but you only have to talk to people that you meet in your daily life. That's it. This will be done to make it easier for people to stay in the religion and do something in Field Service with all the not at homes that are experienced. No minimum hours or placements will be required. Just do it as you can."
Is and has been in effect for quite some time.
today's text:.
monday, january 25. to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.—matt.
25:40.. early in his discourse found in matthew chapters 24 and 25, jesus indicated that the sign of his presence would include a remarkable feature—the good news of the kingdom would “be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (matt.
For it is by Grace you are saved!!!
NIV and NKJV
There it is, by grace!!! "
No-one ever said anything else. The point is that your faith manifests itself in acts, but the acts in themselves are of no value unless there is love and they are made because of the faith - and salvation is not because of this, but because of grace. No-one in the JW community ever said or meant anything else.
as a pre-awakened ms, i heard of 2 stories that i found very shocking at the time.
please keep in mind, i was following wt blindly at the time and was part of what i thought was the true religion.
the first shocking story was when i attended a large meeting for elders and ministerial servants covering our circuit.
exploring the human genome is like roaming around an historic town.
some places are pristine and obviously still in everyday use.
others have been unused for a while and starting to show signs of decay and if you look carefully there are relics of buildings that were abandoned long ago.. in this post we are going to look at a gene that we still carry in every cell in our body but which fell into disuse 10s of millions of years ago.. humans are placental mammals.
"The reason for this is that they stopped drinking milk regularly like western cultures do and as a result, when a gene required to produce lactase - the enzyme used to digest lactose - became damaged, because there was no selective pressure to keep the healthy genome, the damaged genome became pervasive."
Isn't that Lamarckism?
is it just me?
" evolutionists do not proselytize , they present verifiable facts "
Strange, the, that some of the foremost of them admit that if there is one thing they are, then it is being great story tellers.
has anyone seen this?
when did that happen?.
