vm44: does anybody have a picture of DS playing the piano?
One kH for a court victory celebration is said to have brought in a GRAND into the lobby to play.
If some of the new K songs are an indication, DS's psyche has a dark, a down side to it.
smiddy, he is not running for president, the publicity he gets on JWnet notwithstanding, but the Republicans have a younger clone a latino, Ruby something.
the resemblance is striking.
Why do we want pictures of DS? a picture is worth a thousand words, and
we rather have the pictures than the words. if we have to, we will look, we might not want to listen. the words, and even some of the sour - note music.

Did Jesus Use Gods Personal Name?
by Comatose in

the wt says yes.

i looked it up a few weeks ago and they said "we can be sure he used his fathers name".

for me the argument is more just interesting from a biblical and academic stand point.

ELI, why have you abandoned me? when dying.
I have made Your name manifest. in prayer. what name?

Do Not Calls is it about control?
by hoser in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
elders are supposed to call on do not calls once a year to get their ass chewed on by the householder.

why does the borg make them do this?

humiliate them and make them more loyal?.
prologos

perhaps they are working on the theory thatsome of theses, anybody that has strong feelings on things religious might flip from negative to positive, still
a nut case but now working FOR them.
I always enjoyed these DNC "doors", nut cases can be disarming, charming.

Jehovah's Witnesses: Who's Your Mediator?
by Darth Rutherford in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
is jesus your mediator?

were these men anointed christians?

... jesus christ, is not the mediator between jehovah god and all mankind.
prologos

The Wt difficulty came that they always asserted without proof that the "Israel of God" the 12 tribes, are made up of 144 000. not so.
the 144 000 COME OUT OF the 12 spiritual tribes, all in the New Covenant, just as the Aaronic priests and Davidic kings CAME OUT OF
the ancient Israel that WAS ALL in the Law Covenant.
The few elders that can intelligently discuss all this balled up stuff are on the way out.

Jehovahs Witneeses live in a spiritual paradise.....? What is wrong with this statement....or What is right with this statement
by smiddy in

2. beliefs
the jehovah`s witnesses have been saying this for decades .do you beleive it to be true ?

/ false ?.

what do the facts show.
prologos

wrong !!! paradise:-- pleasure, contentment, ideal place to be?
why then are people not clamoring to get in?
why do WT adherents "place" and study phony llterature with the public, that is different from the reality of the "inside" teachings of the organisation.?
It looks more like the "Workers Paradise" promised and maintained by th now defunct communist Russian, Hungarian, East German regimes, central committees read Governing Bodies.
Workers? yes. Paradise? no.
If you HAVE to be told that you are in a paradise, but there is no pleasure, contentment, it is not an ideal place, then it is not.
The vast majority of Witnesses expect the NW paradise to be vastly different from the current KH atmosphere, condition.

Did You Ever Experiment At A New Kingdom Hall By Sitting In the Back, Or Wait To Be Greeted?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
there is much frustration from jws who attended other kingdom halls because the jws were not friendly and actually smug!

social experiments on jw good manners and the "love that identifies the true christians" did you find it?.

it does not exist because they do not love each other unless they are authorized to from the wts..
prologos

even if these types have learned their rude behaviour from their parents or where ever, why is Christian teaching, the new personality, NT bible-principles never applied, read ?
Was not one of the ideals of the Jesus -record to produce a gentler, more open, innocent, genuine genre of humans?
WT straight jacked seems to have stifled all that.
The majority of KH fail the test, project the opposite image of meaningful human kindness and hospitality to strangers.
Do these cold, snobbish , cique-ish carricatures of the "new Personality" realize how they look to ousiders? do they care?
One of the understanding of the fable about the sheep and the goats is that the ever-present mythical Jesus is maintaining a watch over "the LEAST of his sisters/brothers" to see how and by who the insignificant ones are treated- or mis - treated.
If you think other wise, perhaps you might be looking down on others from BELOW.

Trivia about the history of the beloved Governing Body
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the very first legal governing body of (jehovah's witnesses) bible students were seven persons which included pastor c.t.russell, his wife maria, and his controversial ward, rose ball.. five men and two women.

these seven persons were also the directors of the watchtower bible and tract society.

this group set policies and practices for the rest of the religious followers of pastor russell.
