Since it is not given to man to direct his own step, how dare wt (imperfect) demand lock-step obedience of their followers at pain of disfellowshipping? blind obedience = kadavergehorsam , because you are dead one way or another.

Absolute blind obedience. No accountability.
by stuckinarut2 init's interesting to observe that in all aspects of life, leaders are accountable to those they lead.. politicians must fulfil their promises, or they are replaced from government.. business corporate leaders like ceos must perform, or they are replaced.. sports coaches and trainers must win, or they are replaced.. yet there are leaders who have often been wrong, have made serious ,mistakes and failed predictions that have impacted the lives of millions.. they have dictated decisions for the lives of millions, yet they can't even be questioned...even in a sincere or polite manner..

""– Russia’s Supreme Court on Thursday banned the Jehovah’s Witnesses of Belgorod as extremist organization, RAPSI reports from the courtroom.--""
It appears to be the Supreme court upholding the decision of another regional power to ban the WTBtS congregations.
Russia is on the warpath again, arming, agitating world wide, and much of the population, regional powers, supporting , loving the sentiment. The refusenik attitude of the JWs does not sit well with the militarists, they might see it as an Amerikan group trying to weaken the Mother bear's determination to bring all her children into her rightful territory

What are 'all his belongings'
by why144000 inif the slave is given control over the 'domestics' in 1919 and this includes anointed and great crowd what is left for the master to give the slave?
all the worldly people will be destroyed so what is left?.
matthew 24: 45who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46 happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47 truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48 “but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’+ 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51 and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.

Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally
by ILoveTTATT2 in.
when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.
it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

So are the GB now saying that they are NOT the "faithful and discreet slave"?
by stuckinarut2 inso can someone clarify this please?.
the claim has been made that the gb is the faithful and discreet slave.
especially was this highlighted during the agm (when the silver bible was released).. but are they now saying that this "appointment" isn't happening until the "great tribulation"?.
-
-
prologos
the funny thing is, they get the bigger appointment, not just over the domestics, but all the belongings, at the great tribulation, but at that time, it is already the moment to say "goodbye" to all, for they are going to die, raptured before Armageddon strikes. so, call that a short term appointment, zero shelf life.
Or are they switching at that moment to the cosmic scale, inheriting the universe? might as well dream big.Surely not, for all that "sovereingty" stuff, sinn, redemption happened here on this most important planet.

From yesterday WT, don't have kids and if you do then don't see them often nor the grandkids either
by purrpurr inunbelievable paragraph in yesterday's watchtower was "encouraging" the sheep to not have kids.
most of their growth comes from the born ins and they are still on about not having kids?.
then it went on to "encourage" those that do have kids or grandkids not to spend to much time with them and instead to spend their time serving kingdom interests!.

jwfacts: "brings deep joy to Jehovah, who will never forget their work and the love shown for him. (Read Hebrews 6:10- 12.) Would it be possible for you to make additional sacrifices to serve Jehovah more fully?"
It is amazing how wt can read the minds of "god". are children not supposed to be a blessing from Jehovah? and even evolutionist would agree , that without procreation to carry the genetic mix forward, there would not be present and future life? is wt stifling evolution?
