  What? Unbelievable. Never in a million years would I have thought they would publish something like this. I remember we weren't supposed to think of Jesus as a baby. Around Christmas time, people think of Jesus as a baby - but not JWs. Notice the article below. Maybe they will start celebrating Christmas again. hmmmm...Nah.

  *** w04 11/1 p. 6 Who Is the Right Leader for Today? ***

  One Truly Qualified to Lead

  Two thousand years ago, an angel told a young Jewish woman named Mary: “You will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name Jesus. This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom.” (Luke 1:31-33) Yes, Jesus of Nazareth is the King of Bible prophecy.

  Religious artwork often portrays Jesus as a baby, as an undernourished weakling, or as an ascetic who passively submits to whatever befalls him. These images do not inspire confidence in him as Ruler. The real Jesus Christ of the Bible, however, grew up to be a vigorous, well-developed man full of zeal and initiative. And he possessed other traits that qualified him for leadership. (Luke 2:52) Following are a few aspects of his outstanding personality.

  History of DF - Question

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from reading crisis of a conscience and members here, i have gathered that df was originally a means to cleanse bethel and stop apostates from spreading their own thinking inside the organization.

  .

  when did it also branch over to sinners that were struggling with an issue that relapsed on multiple occasions?

  When a crime is commited?

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i responded to someone on another thread, but would love to know this answer.. if a victim adult or child goes to elders and claims they were abused, don't they have to have clergy confidentiality?

  so i was told that they encourage the victim to contact authorities , and they contact bethel, but arent there hands tied if the victim does not want to go to authorities?

  an elder made the comment to me once.

  Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"

  by ab.ortega in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  oh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.

  at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.

  the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

  I was at a rehearsal for a demo in a talk and waiting my turn and listening to a demo in another brother's talk - and the DO and the CO were there.

  
  

  Speaking of rehearsals. It was always strange to sit through one. Usually a group of about 50 was in the room as the participants rehearsed the part. Then when the DO and CO were making adjustments, they almost whispered to the participants and everybody else was watching and trying to hear what he was saying.

  
  

  Was this just at our rehearsals?
