  Are these men appointed by holy spirit?

  one of the things that has bothered me for years, in this organization is how appointments are made.

  its alleged to be done by holy spirit.

  or by men whose decisions are effected or influenced by holy spirit.

  Good ideas, you guys! Let's enumerate the uses for the literature:

  1. pet cage liner

  2. fire kindling

  3. shop rag(one magazine per wipe)

  4. cruel joke- get people interested then tell them all the Society's problems

  5. write down names and addresses of all known JW sex offenders in WT and AFAKE! rags, then hand them out door to door

  6. send literature out in space hoping that hosile apostate aliens will find them

  7. edit literature with true info then send to kingdom halls

  It seems to me if God knowingly appoints wrongdoers(who were supposed to be a good example to follow) to his callings, then God makes himself null and void in my mind in those instances. In other words, God does not appoint these men. Men appoint men, at least in many instances within the WTS and religions in general.

  So, do we listen to people like MDS who take their own religious course, independent of the WTS, or is he another CT Russell or even a Jim Jones in the making? I prefer, at this point in my life, to wait and see what happens. Am I doomed? Or am I quite rightly following the bible's instruction to not listen those who try to draw people away for themselves?

  It's a good question to ask how the holy spirit works. But IS there a holy spirit? WAS there a Christ? ARE the Jews right in claiming that the Christ hasn't arrived yet? Just more questions.

  i havent been to the kingdom hall for almost 2 years.. i was directed here by someone who said it was for ex witnesses.. but the front page looks like it is for witnesses to have bible studies.. and such.. which is not what i am looking for i did that for 14 years.. till i got married had 2 kids and finally got a life now at the age of 24.

What a disingenuous way for a JW to get rid of WT rags. Most of these houses are obviously vacant. Is it all for the "placement" sections on the monthly JW reports to the Society?
  How much wood is wasted on this throw away literature?

  I remember not being able to get rid of my own WT rags that I bought for placement in the field. By the time I left the WTS, I had hundreds of pounds of them. Sadly, I took them to the dump. Maybe I could have recycled them. I don't have a bird, so I can't line a bird cage. I could have saved them for winter to burn in the fireplace, I guess.

  Maybe the WTS could cease it's printing operations and sell their rags on-line. Of course the JW publisher would be required to donate first.

  'Foot-in-Mouth' disease spread by WTS

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  britain's farming industry was in crisis after the european union banned britain from exporting meat, livestock and milk to the rest of the eu until march 1, following an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease among pigs in southeast england.. the effect maybe catastrophic to farmers who may face ruin.

  the market for infected livestock is not particularly strong.

  also all those who like chasing foxes with packs of hounds have been told they can't .....shame.

Ed Chitty... he liked me, I think...Ha! I know where the Judge is buried...can't let rank and file know...
