It is time for an update:

Re: Revised Funeral Discourse Outline

TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS

Re: Revised Funeral Discourse Outline Dear Brothers: The Funeral Discourse (S-32) outline has been revised, and the new version has been posted on jw.org. The revision includes adjustments to the body of the outline and to the instructions for the speaker. The instructions now allow the speaker to include throughout his talk encouraging lessons from the faithful example of the deceased. Please use the revised outline when delivering funeral discourses. The revised outline is intended to help speakers deliver funeral discourses of greater warmth and comfort to the audience while still giving a fine witness that honors “the God of all comfort.”—2 Cor. 1:3. Please accept an expression of our warm Christian love.

Hey girl next door.! Is that a real account of what he said or was it just a joke? I just can't believe he would say something like that. When I think these people will never surprise me again... they seem to find new ways.

Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.

by Jehovah Was An Alien in

"the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.

it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"

the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

How to spot faders or "closeted" apostates in a congregation / meeting?

by nevaagain in

jw

so i am awoken for several years now (never really bought the cool aid) but for family reasons i am still enduring everything.

but my wife knows ... .

anyway so yesterday we had this boring meeting and as i was sitting there trying to make time pass faster i looked around me and i thought who else feels the same as me and is completely bored?

It's not that eady easy to spot, since the people who are awake (me included) need to masquerade our feelings and mostly bite our tongues. We all have to live within a closed environment where any slight dissent will take you to a judicial committee. It surely is a captive organization.

Fidel Castro and the WT

by Hecce in

i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.

you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.

during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

Theism is a Fact #1

My Personal Proof That Elders Are Not Appointed by Holy Spirit

by TMS in

this topic is not about men living sinfully at the time of their appointment as elders.

it is not about pedophile elders, although i've personally known three, two who were pedophiles at the time of their appointment by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. first of all a quick summary of what jehovah's witnesses are taught about the appointment of elders and ministerial servants:.

before the visit of the circuit overseer, the local elders meet to consider who, if any, among the local congregation they will recommend as elders or .
