Gilead was built to be Bethelite tribulation Bombshelter 1940!!!
by Witness 007 inrutherford believed the "great tribulation" would begin during world war 2. his book "enemies" explained america and britain would turn into a fascist/catholic state so...... watchtower 82 8/15 p.10 "for the saftey of the bethel family a place of refuge was built at south landsing new york.
it was never needed for that purpose...later transformed into gilead missionary school...".
watch.

Not to forget there were Nazi U boats in the Finger Lakes. Bethelites bought shotguns in the local hardware stores. -

Relatives who work in Warwick are visiting
by cappytan inso i have some relatives who work in warwick visiting us this week.
the visit has been largely drama free.
they came between meeting days, so the subject of going to the meetings never came up.. however, they have been talking about the "downsizing.".

TWoY: Why did they not ask for the Obama care for the really needy in their organisation.?
Even Obamacare is relatively expensive compared to the Bismarkcare of 1883.

Is zeal beginning to vanish?
by Caupon init has to be starting to fade somehow.

I can not imagine what it would be like to trying to talk to people about a hope that requires the end of the world to personally live forever, an end of the world that will come after the passing of an overlapping generation that might not come after 2075 after all. A house to house canvassing that has as a goal to start truly mind-stifling "bible study" indoctrination sessions, which goals it is to bring new recruits to training, indoctrination meetings with spiritual highlights, where the spiritual, worship highlights are the singing of truly ugly new melodies.-- The witnesses and householders have a common problem, they can not help but hate it. . So, who is the common enemy in this? -

Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching
by thedepressedsoul ini have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.
jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.
they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

the depressedsoul: "see what you are saying but it still doesn't explain why they say Jehovah intervenes for some things and yet when it comes to sickness/accidents that he stays completely out of it. wt's answer to that question was: If we would be favoured in every way, all people would flock to the khs and we would not really be tested, find worthy prospective NW citizen. God right now just gives some sample help, like the sample miracles of 'Jesus" ;-- now if I could just be part of the sample. -

WTS Throws Hail Mary Pass with Major Paradigm Shift
by Socrateswannabe inlet me begin by stating that i have no insider information, this is merely my observation.
i believe that some time ago in watchtower land, somebody at hq posed these questions (probably an outside consultant because i don't think the gb is this hip): .
what would happen if we cut in half the average age of the responsible brothers in the organization?

Socrateswannabe, what you are saying is certainly true of the new crop of Circuit Overseers , cooky-cutter types, highly trained in their specialty, not renaissance men. Outside the box thinking does not have to come from outside of establishments though.case in point: the US Moon shots. Von Braun wanted to build solid permanent stations,* stepping stones to Mars, but a staff engineer had a cheaper plan:-- leave big, leave little behind, come back on a parachute, each. * like big branches

Tuedays's daily text trivium.
by prologos inso, the bones of jesus, the perfect passover lamb, the second adam, were not broken, to hasten his burial, but why?
because he was already dead !

so, the bones of Jesus, the perfect passover lamb, the second Adam, were not broken, to hasten his burial, but why? because he was already dead !?, --Normally by being pinned up this way ,life ends by asphyxiation, really a natural death, or dehydration. But wait, in the story bible, nearly perfect humans live 10 times longer than us, 950 versus 85, so why would the most perfect ever die of natural causes before the bottom feeders? --as heard during an un-witness session. no actors, real people. -

Jesus 40 day fast, what really happened?
by Formerbrother inhttps://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-march-2016/questions-from-readers/.
did satan physically take jesus to the temple when tempting him?.
put simply, we cannot be certain whether jesus actually stood in the temple or he did so only by means of a vision.

In talk outlines, wt writers, in arguing that "satan" is a real person, discounted the idea that such a monsterocity could be the construct of a "perfect mind" , negating in a way that these temptations were really mental exercises.

Why do animals suffer?
by nicolaou inbonnie is fourteen years old now and she's still fit and active, but she sleeps (and farts) a lot more and is definitely slowing down.. she loves us in her own dumb way and always comes to the door to greet me when i get home from work.
she doesn't 'sin' but yeah, she'll steal biscuits and feel shame afterwards.
she's loyal and intelligent and i dread the day when .

The domestic cats do not suffer humans lightly, but have you watched their nightly foreys taken with their body cameras? Animals suffer too because we eat them. Asia: on the menu : MBF special: Mans Best Friend special. Probably delicious, but I never had the heart to swallow it. -

Thanks GOD JW's don't have Beauty Pageants
by James Mixon ini can see it now, we are the most beautiful and smartest people in the world.. steve harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant.

James Mixon: "Steve Harvey will never be the host of another beauty pageant. LOL perhaps contrary, there is no such thing as bad publicity in Hollywood/Vegas.
Ladies on display? search for the most vivacious, with the right answers, (yes Sir)? the search for Esther, Abishag, Snow white ? Some frustrated men might watch it, in this family and friends it is a lady thing.
As long as sick pedophiles only view, sad that parents looking for fame frame their offspring. The fashion industry is admonished to keep the 13 year old looking bodies off the walkway. photoshopping the juveniles. fat chance. finally,: wt: what imperfection?
education? an evening with Hawking anyone?
Thanks GOD JW's don't have Beauty Pageants
but they do, mini-displays, watch the show at all assemblies ---edit: Talesin beat me to it. the two witness rule.
