the law covenant was a 'shadow' of the better covenant to come.
everyone at sinai agreed to, and was part of that covenant - no exceptions!
it was not just for the priesthood.
thank you, well said, well documented, so,
cutting the witless witnesses off from life, a great loss, what is in it for the WTBtS?
desperate slaves, who now are engaged in the impossible task to WORK out their salvation.
slaves being worked to death.
there are consequences for not readingn ot applying john 6/
can someone explain this scripture to me:.
and i have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also i must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.
(john 10:16).
the fold was israel, the other sheep the gentiles. the one flock is the 12 tribes of the ISRAEL OF GOD, that has been transfered into the kingdom of the SON of GODS' Love.
the "anointed" of WT fame are really the "sealed" from the 12 tribes, who, because of their sacrificial death will rule with Christ.
or so the story goes.
Wt balled it all up.
Divide and conquer. for power , then--
power corrupts.-- now.
"the aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to empahsixe the right which we are asserting.
propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side...... the broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form a reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly waveering between one idea and another....the masses are not in a position to discern where the enemy's fault ends and where our own begins..... the great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning.
this sentiment, however, is not complex,but simple and consistent.
Berliners called the book Mein Krampf ; = my (mental) cramp, zeisure. but it was no joke, but humor took the sting out of it.
Marlene Dietrich used to sing about it: "Es geht alles vorueber-- vorbei = Everything is going to pass, will be gone forever, even Hitler his SS and party. (partei)
in this song just substitute your favoured modern, latter day propaganda machine. liberating.
i will tell you one, i do remember one brother that was doing some street work, he was standing while he only showed the very back page of the magazines and his tactic did work more than you think and they asked him what the magazine was all about.

watch glenster's second video and think F Franz, minus the sound.
part of my healthy and longstanding scepticism about wt claims /teachings stems from my habit to immediately scan the newly arrived mags for novelty.
at source.. while the meeting drones on, usually within minutes, "gems" are marked and shown in the margins "kindly" left for that purpose/ possibility.. this 7/15/2013 magazines is one of a kind, this marking will take longer, but here is a start:.
on page 25, paragraph 19, but 18 and 20 too, -- the extraordinary claim/possibility is suggested, that.
notes in margin NR. 2 :
The wt writers of 7/15 are obviously not in a popularity contest, alienating the majority of JWs , the ladies, by the text on page 22, par.9 to quote:
"--humble sisters who would never TRY to assume the role of teachers in the congregation" --[let alone at headquarters]. citing
I Cor 11:34 "-- as in ALL the congregations of the holy ones, let the women keep silent, for it is not permitted for them to speak--.
context 35: -"- for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the congregation--".
with stuff like that written by Paul, who was "spirit directed", no wonder they do not want him as part of th F&DS.
but we have no qualms about such humble sisters getting their hands on the Universe's controls after their pre-Armageddon rapture.
better they than ambition personified.

yea, but carricatures are the most popular features in news papers, and my point above was
that it is preferable to have somebody that would pass for Santa-Claus in the right costume, than an ascetic, athletic raving fanatic.
If you cant laugh about yourself or the jokes about you, you need help,
and so do those that you lead.

when "marking the margins of my July 15 wt"* I was tempted to put beside the picture of M.Sanderson in the service on Columbia Heights. :
the man would easily pass the 40 days temptation of hunger in the GT wilderness, prior to his rapture.

" let portly men surround me" quoted from unknown (to me) author. example:
Goebbels ( the look-alike and voice-alike of Fredrick Franz), was more dangerous to your life than the portly Goering.
the former's rhetoric could get you killed by induced delusions of pro - nazi leader zeal.
Fred Franz although a jolly fella, could make you uncomfortable when the pitch of his voice rose, amplified echoing in the stadium.
sorry i did not get audio.
too much going on around me that would give me away anyways.
i think someone posted audio, but it is different from what i heard on some levels.
re: spiritual food by apostates go to topic " bulletin from sFDA " recall and destroy.
lol, just noticed something.
the images that appear in a slideshow on jw.org homepage with the heading beneath "the good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth".
anyone who's familiar with photoshop can tell that in at least most of those images (if not all) the witnesses are superimposed into the scenes.
yeah, the scenes are gorgeous, never noticed the witnesses much, they think their feet are beautiful though.
