The FBI investigates any Interstate crime, Since The new wt headquarters sits right near the NY/NJ state line*, some activity could come under their scrutiny. Just let a pedophile take a kid across state line "for the purpose of", it is a federal felony.

* not upstate NY which is up to 400 km away.

Did Jesus attend a "worldly celebration"?

by Westenddave in

hello community,.

my question in a nutshell is whether there is justification in celebrating worldly holidays, such as the 4th of july in the usa?.

let's look at a parallel.

prologos

Westendave: The WT would reprove if not Df a JW for unrepentantly attending the 4th of July (for not keeping separate from the world). Is there a difference? --- not df perhaps but DA.? hardly, who can resist the concert, the fireworks even if only on TV,? kiss goodbye half the "publishers" ? Jesus had already started fading and DAed himself by his constant conflict with the elders of his day. He even stayd for several days in the Samaritan city of the lady at the well, well, a no no for a dedicated Jew that he was.

The KEY WORD in Isaiah 44:25-26 is "Predictions" and the apostles NEVER made any predictions setting dates.

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

isaiah 44:25-26, i am frustrating the signs of the empty talkers, and i am the one who makes diviners act like fools; the one confounding the wise men and turning their knowledge into foolishness; the one making the word of his servant come true and completely fulfilling the predictions of his messengers.

the record shows your words and many predictions did not come true.

again, the key word in isaiah 44:25-26 is "predictions" and the apostles never made any predictions ever.

prologos

thank you GB (Grey Beard) and thank you GB (Governing Body) too, for supplying these proofs of wrong.

f: Excellent if you believe in the Bible. --or not, but want to prove that it, the foundation, and the results, = wt doctrines are wrong

Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?

by careful in

i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.

but one thing i've noticed that the org.

has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

prologos

D: So do you think it's Splane? nbd:They are working on a new songbook that will have 150 songs total (just like the Psalms)

so, it is David playing a leading role in both? Did not David play insane at one time?

by Landy in

prologos

Love to have you Landy, it is also fun to be the fly on the wall and see with those compound eyes (many view points, no tunnelvision) what goes on.

November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"

by JW_Rogue in

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.

yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?

if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

prologos

kid in the picture is saying : "yeah, dad owes me, I am going to get that bike!" dad: "Yeah, they can't refuse now to make me an elder".

Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what

by Tornintwo in

today's watchtower:.

obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.

) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!

prologos

Finkelstein: Too bad Jesus didn't include to watch out for those who might sell and commercialize the Gospel.

Well, you better have have watched out, - as the tables were flying and the animals stampeded when "jesus" cleansed the temple in his story, and how about Paul: " we are not Peddlers or [colporteurs] of The Word"?

Watchtower says in Paradise we will fly like Superman and so avoid accidents???!!

by Witness 007 in

golden age aug 25 1926 p.751.

"negative gravitation.

you may have wondered how accidents will be avoided in jesus kingdom since we are told nothing will hurt or destroy.

prologos

Canadian hoverboard actually works! This is paradise, told ya! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The best way to make them fly is to take them when you are "leaving on a jet plane" but airlines have banned them. As the PO stated the challenge is always the landing or any other type of contact you make when flight ends.
