My congregation has quite a few people on Gov't assistance

Mine too. However they are all the ones who have the latest gadgets for some reason. I can't seem to ever find the extra finances to buy those new shiny toys with my full-time work.

Use Of Electronic Tablets At Meetings

by Brother Mike in

I don't own or use a tablet. I won't be using the Bible either. I just sit and gaze off into space and when they ask why I don't follow along I reply, "Because I don't own a tablet, and if the eldubs and sister eldubs don't have to use their Bibles then neither do I!"

I did the same thing years ago when PC printouts were frowned upon and some still insisted on using them instead of the Bible. I just quit carrying my Bible and said it was because I wanted to follow the "suggestions" of the slave and not use PC printouts, but I wasn't going to carry a Bible if no one else was.

I have to admit I like to tweak people a bit just to stir things up.

The GENERATION explanation is now a BOLD FACE LIE

by scotoma in

jw
friends

when i first heard about the new "generation" explanation i was confused because i didn't see clearly how they were explaining it.. now it looks like they finally figured it out for themselves and it is no longer confusing.. it is now a simple, ignorant, bold face lie.. this is from the january 1st watchtower.

(and i hope to hell someone from writing gets wind of this).

paragraph 15 page 31 blue stands for the exact words in the watchtower.

An interesting (to me) side point about the term generation.

Previously a generation was a group of people of a certain age. For instance those old enough to know and understand the professed significance of 1914 A.D. So "this generation" that would not pass away as understood then is now mostly all dead and forgotten.

Then we had the "overlapping" generation. Now we have two groups of generations that are only one generation.

Which brings me to the point of this comment. The cross references in the "old light" Bible (NWT) took the reader to Exodus 20: 5 which spoke of fathers (one generation), sons (second generation), the third generation, and a fourth generation. The "new light" (NRNWT) has removed those cross references entirely. I firmly believe it won't be but two or three years and "new light" will reveal that "old light" understanding about 1914 was wrong, and some new date will be "evidently" the correct date for Christ's presence, even though he is still coming(?). At that time a completely new doctrine will be unveiled for the sheep.

No more by us!

by Atlantis in

no more boes or kingdom ministries will be posted by us on this board.

there is a very important reason why!

beware of anyone encouraging you to post any boes on this board.

Are you trying to say the Wt society has hackers who steal confidential information from this site ? Like my personal email ?

I wouldn't doubt it! I followed the link in the first posting, and my PC basically froze, became very sluggish and unresponsive. At least I know enough about PC's to retrun it to a working state. If I should become the subject of any "witch" hunt by the shearers-of-sheep I do have a good lawyer.

The Real Aftermath of the AGM...Part 2

by raymond frantz in

for the ones based in britain only the "few" were invited to attend the agm .they received their new grey bible and the rumor was that the new bible will not be available for the rest of the congragations until january .it was confirmed tonight .a letter was read as local announcement that the new bibles will not be available until the end of january for the rest of the congragation .all the in crowd were sat there with their new flashy bible looking smug.also the bible reading was read from the new bible to make it all the more obvious ..... the real aftermath of agm....

We were told that there were just enough Bibles for ONLY regular publishers who COULD READ to have a copy.

Of course the shearers of sheep and their ministerial grunts were able to obtain copies for their pre-school brats who slept through the enitire program!

The times I show up at a KH I think I will start carrying a copy of the New American Revised version in tan paperback.

EVIL SLAVE IS HYPOTHETICAL

by The Searcher in

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!.

piztjw

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.

Terminology changes in the new Bible

by Bonnie_Clyde in

this (overlapping) generation will by no means pass away.

" - matthew 24:34. and (new) scrolls were opened.

" - rev.

piztjw

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?

New Bible Release At Annual Meeting

by lambsbottom in

talked to a congregation literature servant's close friend today.

i asked him what he thought about the "no bibles" situation.

he said the literature servant told him that there will be a new bible released at the annual meetin.

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.

Today's WT Study (Who is the FDS - Sep 2013)

by ohnightdivine in

please share how your wt study went today...

piztjw

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

by stillin in

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.

piztjw

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?
