Directions that don't make sense to us

by Longlivetherenegades in

at times those appointed to take the lead may give direction that does not make sense to us.

however, jehovah blesses obedience.

.......watchtower november 2021 study article 47 paragraph 11. for example:for example: so the king(david) said to joab go take a census of israel (2 samuel 24: 1.....) .

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20

They base their teachings on the view of their policies and procedures to continually advance their agendas.

When this same statement is given by other Christian denominations or political institutions they(Watchtower) will run to.........

Proverbs 22:3 The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.

In this case they don't want members apply their experience concerning the instructions given. What they really want is to follow the instructions regardless of the experience gathered or like an inexperienced one and get burnt.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You know what comes next when Joab followed through on such directions that does not make sense from those taking the lead and even from Joab point of view including directions from those prone to mistakes and errors throughout their years of existence.

After all Jehovah indeed blesses obedience to directions that does not make sense carried out by JOAB.😋😋😋😋🤣🤣🤣

Do Jehovah’s witnesses pay such fines?

Do Jehovah’s witnesses pay to Satan's organisation in order not to show support or vote for Satan's organisation?

Watchtower Jul 22 - Jesus directed the GB on how to deal with Covid

by Listener in

14 jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis.

the benefits of that direction were evident when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.

while many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe.

I remember one of their members boasting and saying that when other religious denominations are banned from meeting together in person. Jehovah’s witnesses will continue to do so. Since it is part of the government ploy to ban the preaching work. Fast forward to a month. They were already on ZOOM, training and learning seriously how to set up meetings on ZOOM.

They can continue to lie that....

"While many in the world were uncertain about what course to take,"

We know the certain course they had to take was to follow God’s ministers aka the GOVERNMENT of the DAY Romans 13: 1-5 to avoid the punishment and shame that follows when they disobey.

Pandemic as part of Bible prophecy?

by truthseeker in

jw

i was thinking that since russell started the movement in 1879 which became jehovah's witnesses in 1931 never has there been a period in time when all their activities just - stopped.

especially the preaching work.. do you think they will find some obscure verse in daniel that talks about this period of time and try to make a greater fulfillment?

like the 70 weeks of years or the 42 months?

Longlivetherenegades

Can we call them the masters of Newspaper exegesis?

Since events and happenings around the world are used to point at one Bible prophecy fulfillment or the other.

Newspaper exegesis mean......

The practice of interpreting the Bible though the lens of current events found in the headlines of newspapers rather than allowing the Bible to interpret itself and failing to take into account when prophetic events were to take place and to whom.

Disfellowshipping

by jhine in

so last night my bible study group was discussing the healing of the blind man in john's gospel.

ch 9 .

the man's parents were reluctant to say much on the subject.

Longlivetherenegades

Didn't the organization classified excommunication aka disfellowshipment as terrorism and label other religious denominations as terrorist. Now that they equally use the same parameters

We know why some call them terrorist since they know where it root and stems from.

The books "Crisis of conscience" and "In search of Christian Freedom" did a lot in bidding the JW religious organization bye.

A challenge to refute the book was an exercise in futility.

After completely digesting the materials personally with a lot of note taking. I ensure I was able to see the practical benefits of the book for another two to three years within the set up of Jehovah's religious organization before exiting.

@ disillusioned you will find CoC and ISCoF really interesting to read. The moniker used by a person on a public forum led me to CoC, I discovered he wrote the second one ISCoF while reading CoC book. Immediately I completed CoC, I read ISCoF.

I tend to like the title of all the chapters of these books. It is after reading you will appreciate why these chapters are coined that way.

Am I Expected to Become One of Jehovah’s Witnesses if I Study the Bible With Them?

by Ron.W. in

(ps.

Longlivetherenegades

19 You might begin by asking him, ‘What do you think will be your biggest challenge in becoming one of Jehovah’s Witnesses?’ The student might answer, ‘I do not mind studying the Bible, but I will never become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses!’ If that is his attitude after he has studied for some time, is there any point in continuing the study?...... Watchtower January 2020 first study article paragraph 19

Easy peasy, you are expected to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses when you study with them.
