The meeting in homes churches was one practice to be traced back to the acts of the apostles, letters. . My take of the cancellation? the separate book study proved to be the breeding ground for interesting comments. better to regain centralized power. as to this "revelation"? a real ego trip, to single handedly change the course of 8 million believers.

Possible reason for cancellation of book study in homes.
by Amelia Ashton inthis was posted on fb.. so guys, i'm gonna share something with you all that i think you should know.
i've only told two people about this (one being john cedars) for fear of getting this guy into trouble, but it's very telling and will reaffirm your "ttatt faith!
a couple of weeks ago, i had to have an "ability to protect" assessment by a gentleman from a company that also investigates child protection policies etc.

What causes new light? Embarrassment, unsustainable doctrine, a desire to affirm FDS status or avoid liability??
by Wasanelder Once ini am sure its a bit of all four.
do you think they are embarrassed by old doctrines as time goes by that become ludicrous?
(beth sarim 1925 resurrection).

For deep true believers, if they are, they imagine they use a kind of scientific approach to doctrine. : 1) you have a theory /hypothesis, 2) you conduct experiments to verify it. 3) if there is no match ( the past wt experience 100%), you have another stab at it. 4) repeat with another set of ideas, aka new light.
1914 was a lucky hit, but only the date. Every detail of what they predicted was wrong.
It is like They are throwing balls in an amusement park, trying to get a hit for a useless toy, with publisher picking up the tab, an illusion for the players and the payers, somebody is laughing all the way to the bank, if you wake up, it is with indigestion from the cotton candy " food in due season"
trying to affirm status. desperately.

Sub CO and Wife, both Reg Pioneers, go back to NC to live with his Parents
by James Jack inthis couple both in their mid 30's, lived with me for awhile and i gave them employment, because they are both regular pioneers and married right out of high school, also because i am that kind a of guy that likes to help people.
various friends have been helping them out for years, so i guess it was my turn to help them out.. the brother got stupid with me, so i told him i had enough of them both and that it was time for them to go elsewhere.. the co loved them so much, the pioneer elder was made cobe in another congregation and a sub co. the brother also got to conduct pioneer service school.
(so he is a hot shot now).

So, why would immigration question his past? did he or the wt hide his undocumented background?
You can get a Social Security Card for tax purposes, even if you are an alien, but can't legally earn money through work.
so this man might fit the pattern, some wt beneficiaries have never earned any money through work in their lives

The Society cares more about Mark Sanderson's stick of Judah than the elephant in the room
by truthseeker ini just watched the segment of mark anderson's, gb member, talking at the annual general meeting.. they care more about obscure prophecies than the child abuse crisis in the organization.. he talks about the two and ten tribe kingdoms of israel, the stick of joseph and stick of judah, and likens it to the anointed and great crowd.. what a bunch of craziness!.
this is the kind of crap spiritual food the drones get..

can a link be put up for this, or a transcript? does the stick have 12 segments like bamboo (to bamboozle us) or is it doubled over on one end like in double-talk.
The experience with wt bible interpretations, secondary fulfillments is, that Jehovah (if any) is avoiding them like the pest, deliberately ignoring their attempts to be validated through successful predictions.

are non-residents of the US not barred from appointment to "privileges" in the congregation, not to mention CO and up positions? -

Village Idiot23 minutes agoListener:
"Why don't they come straight out and just say that the other sheep are now being considered as being part of spiritual Israel?"
Maybe because Revelation 7 distinguishes between the 144,000 of "spiritual Israel" and the great crowd from every nation.
V.I. consider this: In that passage, Spiritual Israel is the 12 tribes (the earthly class) out of which the 144k come before the Big A starts.-- the great crowd whoever they are, but likely Spiritual Israel minus the 144k, exists only after the Great tribulation. so, the correction would not be difficult. but who, even the jws really care? about features in a story book?
edit. Yes it distinguishes, but before the sealing they are one. like the apostles who had an earthly hope, but became anointed. most partakers today started out as observers. out of the Observing Others heep come the anointed sheep.

right. Israel had anointed of course, the kings Judah and priests Levi , but they were all in the Law covenant, . Spiritual Israel would be all in the New Covenant. If Jesus was a cabinetmaker, he would have joined those sticks a long time ago.

The thousand mile bullshit stare
by bohm inanyone else tired of this wt cliche?.
"a certain young man named eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep.

Onan wasted his semen on the ground after having relations with his brother's wife... he ejaculated after intercourse, not masturbated
thanks for the clarification, in some languages, the word for masturbation is actually the verb form of that name.The act was greed to keep his finances. so the girl's smiling stare was because of coitus interruptus.-- she is not pregnant? -

It appears they want to line up the date with the usual Easter holiday which lands on Sunday March 27, 2016.
or more precisely have the "meal" coincide with an eclipse, and have the true prophetic accuracy of science rub off on wt dating. -
