Mind Blown: Thank you for that video. WE LOVE Snarky Bill!

Yeah. we've got Lars' figured out already bat crap crazy .

If we can face 13 elders in our old cong. all at once facing charges of collusion, and take on a CO & DO at the SAME TIME, and come away from those UNSCATHED, so one person that has their own personal agenda and has to hijack everyone else's topics DOES NOT intimidate us.

Besides, the TRUE Messiah is NOT RUDE and OBNOXIOUS to everyone else LARS!!!!

Why don't you go start your own forum on another website and dont EVER post on any of our family's topics again, no one wants to hear your shit!

The 24 Elders in Revelation are NOT the anointed......

by EndofMysteries in

today i just thought of this.

i had written a thread about the false teaching of the anointed being resurrected already.

anyway, the wt assumes the 24 elders in revelation are the 144,000, and the assumption is merely because both sit on thrones.

I know most of you won't give any credibility to the Book of Enoch, since it's a 'rejected lost book' even tho at Jude 1:14, 15 the bible writer quotes directly from the Book of Enoch

14 Yes, the seventh one [in line] from Adam, E ′ noch, prophesied also regarding them, when he said: “Look! Jehovah came with his holy myriads, 15 to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the shocking things that ungodly sinners spoke against him.”

But in Enoch there are several archangels mentioned by name that are referred to as 'The most holy angels'. But they are not considered regular angels. They hold a special positions. And just for reference, Michael the archangel is mentioned as serving 'the Word', God's anointed Son personally. He's basically Christ's right hand man/angel.

Just my thoughts.

Elders! Elders everywhere!

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

an elder came around this morning at 9am to ask if my husband wanted to come with him on a bible study.

my husband nipped from the bathroom to the bedroom in his undies to get dressed, while i talked to the elder!

the elder talked about how he just happened to think my husband might be free this morning, and just happened to get a call from someone wanting a bible study, and then he said to me, "why don't you come visit my house some time?

Hi Julia, you better check your bushes and trees, they're lurking and probably have hidden cameras. I have seen this happen.

To add to Gojiras post about our friends that were victims of a 'witch hunt', they came out here a month later and asked what we had told the elders, because the elders told them that we had said some things about their daughter. TOTAL LIE! We had never met their daughter, seen their daughter, or even knew what, if anything, she was even doing. So the dad went back and confronted that elder. Elder actually came out here and apologized for involving us in something that was not of our concern. Never admitted to us that he lied, but he did finally admit to the dad that he 'overstepped his authority.'

We had one years ago that was a real piece of work. G. Fields. He came in and had his own little 'Boy's club'. Only his ass kisser, good 'ol boys got parts on the conventions. When they left, our cong rented a hall and gave them a HUGE party. They even sang 'For he's a jolly good fellow'

Thank goodness we did not go because we couldn't stand the jerk. A week later, hubby was pulled into the back room and asked why weren't we there. The butt kisser elder actually said, "imagine how I felt when I noticed that my brother was not there." Funny, they had never given a crap about us before.

There was another I know of personally that admitted when they retired from the circuit work, the circuit BOUGHT them a nice house and because of the 'green' handshakes thru the years had a nice little nest egg of $130,000 to live on, plus their usual Social Security checks.

Thank you Amelia, I didn't know that.

Not Shirley: Thank you for your intelligent comments. You are right, unfortunately some just have to have their say posted on here whether it's on topic or not.

Thank Not Shirley! Well done!

Carl Olaf Jonsson does go into the Neo-Babylonian kingship's and the astrological proof, solar & lunar eclipses and etc. I have a Dr's appt this morning so I cannot go get quotes from it right now, but I can if anyone wants to still claim that COJ did not present enough evidence. He has 14 DIFFERENT lines of evidence by the 3rd edition of his book. I've read that by his 4th edition there was even more.

Amelia, thank you, we're sorry for misunderstanding your intentions.

Hubby was only trying to help those of you that keep talking about having something simple to approach your JW friends and family on. He was not expecting to have all this complicated arguing back & forth about dates and reigns of kings, etc.

I don't know if he will ever bring up another subject again.

An offer from the Governing Body

by irondork in

.

the governing body took us along to an unusually high mountain, and showed us all the friends and family members that had been ripped away and they said to us.... .

all these people we will give back to you if you fall down and do an act of worship to us.

Newly Enlightened

Very profound. Brought tears to my eyes and makes me feel stronger in my conviction that I will not compromise my beliefs and principles for anything, including my love ones. I cannot go back to lies.

Thank you Pterist. That chart was very helpful in showing that he was a true prophet and Jerusalem was destroyed in 587/86... I was going to copy that chart to my post but figured it may not help anyone that is using the WT$ literature to still prove that the JW's are right.
