  EVIL SLAVE IS HYPOTHETICAL

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the quotation used in today's wt study about the evil slave "being for all practical purposes, hypothetical", is taken from the net bible and was written by a bible 'scholar' from christendom!.

  three points:.

  1. jesus always spoke by means of illustrations & parables.. 2. matthew 24:45-47 is a parable!.

  So what good does the WT CD-ROM Library serve anyone when it contains so many mis-statements, errors and bloopers?

  It serves a useful purpose in quoting those mistakes when asking still unthinking JW's what truth really is.

  Hypothetical is a good term. The "evil" slave is only hypothetical because the GB says they will never be evil. But of course the faithful slave is real because they declare it to be so. And just in case you aren't confused enough with that doublespeak there is the "fact" that one can be present without really being present, and arriving can mean you are already here. Clear as mud?

  Maybe a "new" Organization book of rules?

  After all the old one teaches false doctrine now that the GB is right up there with JC.

  All "answers" read from the paragraph with no thought.

  Some afterward were so pleased with the "new" light and just beaming with all that light. I subtly asked a few what the opposite of true is. And if what was said this morning is true then what was what was taught last year? They just mumbled about the "light getting brighter." A few got downright hostile that anyone would dare ask a question to make someone think.

  BTW, did anyone else notice a couple facts? A couple weeks ago in their time-line (pg 10-11) they had an order of events. In the written paragraphs (pg. 13) the order of events was written in a completely different order. A total contradiction within just two or three pages! And this week of course all were "reminded" that ...."our relationship with God depend(s) on [the Governing Body]" Notice the way I used brackets just like they do?

  Passing a resolution a painful experience

  everybody knows it's going to pass.

  nobody ever asks if possibly that much money for the circuit overseer's whatever isn't a bit too much, or whatever else the congregation is being asked to agree to.

  then the call to raise your hand if in favor of doing the "right thing.

  Everybody knows it's going to pass.

  So true. All in favor? All hands flapping wildly in the air. Even the two and three year olds. Any opposed? No hands.

  All the abstainers are not counted. Well I guess it is unanimous then.

  What the hell?

  Water "witching".

  Some people are abler to do so, others cannot. It has nothing to do with supernatural abilities, it's all natural magnetism. That is why some people cannot wear the older style wrist watch while others have no problem with them. Magnetism of water movemnet, however slight, can make certain objects move on their own.

  Do you believe God is using the governing body to lead his organization?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  were familiar with the statements about how a persons claim to be anointed is between that god and the individual.. the governing body went on to say: "a number of factorsincluding past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalancemight cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling.

  we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

  the governing body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.

  Reasonably, any replacement would come, not from among newly baptized ones, but from among those who have stuck with Jesus in his trials through many years of faithful service. The brilliant flashes of spiritual light that came through The Watchtower in the 1920’s and 1930’s indicate that the gathering of the remnant of anointed ones was practically completed during that period.

  This quote taken from the March 1, 1992, issue of The Watchtower, page 20, paragraph 17.

  I wonder how many years many years would be when Sanderson is quite young and relatively newly baptized?

  Idiotic Elderoid's Comment

  by piztjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i recently heard the following comment from one of the shearers of sheep:.

  "one may think they have an effective method of talking to people about the bible, but the fds have given us the proper presentation in the kingdom ministry.

  they tell us what to say because that is what works best.

  So here is another one just recently heard:

  Elderly handicapped male, "I needed help getting to the assmebly. I was unable to drive, so younger sister so-and-so drove my car to the assembly as she had no vehicle."

  Elderoid, "That was improper. You should not have been alone with her for the ninety minutes it took to get to the assembly. You should have tried harder to make different arrangements."

  Elderly handicapped male, "I did. Everyone else had either left already, or they had other arrangments and could not help me with my vehicle."

  Elderoid, " But think about the appearence to others when you were alone with her."

  Me, "Yes. You really are much better off missing the assembly entirely than traveling with a sister!" (Said with total sarcasm)

  Elderoid, "That's right! Jehovah would have understood." (In all seriousness)

  Me, "You never can tell when someones hormones are going to run wild and sex is going to happen." (Eyes rolling)
