Can somebody explain the changes I read in the WT??

by diana netherton in

jw
friends

my grandmother asked me to read to her so i asked her what she wanted me to read.

was the watchtower, but she specfically asked for the one with "the timeline.

it for a few days and apparently hasn't read up.

prologos

no, we can not really ex d splain it but we can point out the unexplainable scriptural problems! for example:

In the FDS parables Jesus is reported to have exhorted his followers to pick up the good work right away, at his departure, a SEAMLESS feeding process,

Jesus to Peter: "feed my little sheep" a direct command. an appointment with keys to boot. FDS = Feed Directly & Soon.

starting in 1919?

what food was served then?

millions will never die because 1925 is so near? Babylon TG has fallen?

comedy of errors.

Hooray for Apostasy against blunders and nincompoopery!

by Terry in

if you change religions by changing your mind and by moving on to something "better" then technically you are apostate.

consequently, unless you are born a jw you have to abandon another religion to become a jw.

so, being an apostate is a good thing if you abandon some other religion, but, if you abandon the jw's you are bad.

prologos

apostates are the apogee of human endeavor.

How to handle problems in the Congregation and Organization.

by DATA-DOG in

prologos

what the CO probably meant was: start your own organisation and see what happens. but

dont mess with us, or you will be marked, curbed and ---.

Jesus is reported to have called Israel's judges-read elders " Gods" and they believe it.

Does Almighty God think about......... ?

by Phizzy in

almighty god must have had a lot of time for thinking, so he must have sat there, at least once and thought along the lines of:.

"i wonder if i am actually almighty god, or is there something or someone greater than me ?".

"how can i know i have always existed?".

prologos

phi zzy , at that level, would we have to think even in terms of questions? rather

unlimited but positive possibilities?

prologos

if one has cherry-picked scriptures and assumes thus defined, that "GOD" is infinite in time

from the eternal past into the eternal future, then

all his/her ideas, thoughts must pervade exist in that span instantly all the time. so

our one thought, problem solving process at a time would not apply.

looking at evolved creation, all possibilities are possible.

Governing Body on a roll, claiming more territory in spiritual paradise?

by prologos in

as reported from a recent co visit talk: .

the man with the inkhorn is picturing the governing body, who has the task of marking people for salvation ezek.

9:2,4.. it used to be christ's brothers, the remnant, the anointed, and you better help them* or be a goat as per the math:25 judgement.

prologos

In this talk The marching order for the jws was "the marking work" not the good news, no, more threatening,

not doable over the internet. accept the 8 in NYand their indoctrination b--study-- or else. and:

for the r&f coming down from the --"eight that decide your fate"--: we graciously give you-all these privileges:

1/2 hours per month for bedridden seniors to be saved, survive, (the supposed free gift of the ransom notwithstanding)

30 hours p/m for aux pio"s"neers to attend pio meeting.

more work. keep busy.

A Pool Into Forever

by JamesThomas in

jw
friends

many years ago, a moment magically unfolded.. .

in my arms, silent and warm, lay my baby son who only a few weeks earlier curled in his mommies tummy.. cradled lovingly, and comfortably in my arms, an innate wisdom within him, ignored all the menagerie of colors and stimulus around, and focused instead, directly into my eyes.. the gaze entered into my soul.

we melded.

prologos

these will make our lifes.

these family things all, from first love to the above well described fulfillment, are perhaps the deepest spiritual happenings,

past the crude- "all of you will be destroyed' wt imaginations.

thank you and think about it.

Your earliest doubt?

by Apognophos in

this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).

please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).

i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).

prologos

mosquito, itch, malaria, made by a loving God?

perhaps the creation privilege, perogative was relegated to joker co-creators?

free to experiment?

Adam&Eve, Jesus immune to mosquito bite? sign of imperfection only?

???

pre-flood mosqitos were vegetarian perhaps?

what seems new is that every aspect of the secretary's strokes with the pen,-- and it's helpers every move is now linked, controlled by the 8 acting as one.

one GB ink horner. everthing is a privilege graciously granted by the GB, telling the angels where to strike -- or not -- too.
