  so ofs got to comment again this morning and thought the comment might bring a smile to someone.the second half question on par.

  15 was, "we cannot actually see jesus, sohow can we look intently at him?".

  ofs commented, "of course, we cannot literally see jesus as peter did.

  The Man With a Secretary's Inkhorn - who he, and does he wear flip-flops?

  by rory-ks in

  2. beliefs

  at the agm this year geoffrey jackson identified the "man with a secretary's inkhorn," of ezekiel chapter 9 as being jesus christ.

  this was declared an "adjustment" from the previous understanding that the organisation used to believe that this "man" was "the annointed.".

  has the society always taught that the "man with the secretary's inkhorn" was someone other than jesus - or is this a situation where back in the mists of time the bible students understood him to be jesus, and then rutherford (or someone) identified him as "the annointed," and now they have reverted back to their initial belief?.

  I seem to recall it was Russell himself at one point, but was later the anointed. I'm sure someone with better research skills would be able to verify.

  Yeah, you mean that big cash grab earlier this year where they got the congregations to empty their bank accounts?

  Did that money just dissolve? Are people just forgetting about that?

  Pretty obvious move with the new branch facility there. Yet more property with a nice resale value.

  THE WATCHTOWER (STUDY EDITION) JANUARY 2016

  by wifibandit in

  pdf .

  this issue contains the study articles for february 29 to april 3, 2016.. what about the number of those partaking at the memorial?12, 13. why should we not worry about the number of those who eat the bread and drink the wine at the memorial?12 in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christs death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  The number of partakers includes those who all mistakenly think that they are anointed.

  Others may All of them (especially the GB) have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven.
