JWs AND THE OCCULT!
by ADJUSTMENTS inhttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcvzpebrkxg.
to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.
also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.

Don't miss the health care sign up deadline.
by FlyingHighNow insign up deadline is the 31st, in a couple of days.
if you have problems with the website and youve been there before, try cleaning out your cookies and cache, then restart your computer.

the real question should be "Why is it so expensive in the first place?"
Boats, vacations, cars, etc.
Doctors fees are so expensive because of student loans and malpractice insurance.
The government should do something about that to lower the fees.

Why JWs don't celebrate Mother's day
by Laika inin the uk, this sunday is mother's day!
ask a jw why they don't celebrate holidays and they'll tell you it's because of some nefarious pagan connection.
but this is really just a cover.

The real question is: Why would any one want to celebrate a day that someone arbitrarily set?
I don't understand any of this celebrating days.

Didnt I tell you that there is something wrong with this organization?
by exWTslave inthats how my grand mother responded when all of our family members came out of jw organization, either by disassociation or by disfellowshipping.. when we all started studying with jws, my grandmother too was there, but she stopped the study when the discussion over the dead happened.
she told the study conductor: i am convinced that there is only life, but no death.
because when my husband died of heart attack, i was not shaken by the incident.

To the OP, your grandmother is wrong. The dead do not communicate with anyone, because they are dead. If they could communicate, then they would not be dead.

Not All Anointed Ones Alive Today Are Part Of 'This generation'
by OwnAccord inwhere do they come up with this stuff?.
this is a topic on 'the other site'.
i actually called our bethel ny branch and talked to a brother on the writing committee, at writing correspondence.

How does anyone know that anyone is anointed?
In the times of Israel, it meant that the person was chosen to be king. But he isn't king yet.
Anointeds dont' have anymore authority or smarts than any other.
Get over this whole anointed thing. It is meaningless.

JW's Never Closed the Door On A Russian King of the North
by scotoma inking of the north.
union, the "king of the south" can be none other than the rival non-communist bloc, under the .
so who is the king of the north now?

The Daniel book in 1993 merely said that with the disbanding of the USSR and the berlin wall going down, it is not the king like it used to be.
Then it asked the question of will a nation that was with the former USSR be the KoN when the future prophesies are fulfilled?
It does not exclude Russia from being the KoN.
But then why should we care about the reasoning of the Watchtower books?

I never liked the word "Grace". It has no meaning. It is a person's name.

Notice the transitional title of:
Convention of Jehovah's Witness.
Not District or International or anything.
Anticipate Future KingdomBlessings
One Language
But Jehovah, the not God of confusion is the one that made many languages.

But He is the one that broke the health

What makes me so tired of this all is the constant - Year text, daily text, and with this the theme text of the convention, the theme text of each day of the convention, each talk has a bible text for a theme.
So sick of this need to quote the Bible or reference it.
If something is right, it is right because it is right, not because the Bible says it is.
If something is wrong, it is wrong because it is wrong, not because the Bible says it is wrong.
I don't feel like looking each scripture up to see how it fits in with the talk.
"ACentury of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satan’s Rule" Satan does not rule. Satan is chaos not rulership.
But at least human rule is trying to do something. Kingdom rule is vaporware.
How Babylon the Great Has “Shut Up the Kingdom”
Huh? All religion has shut up the kingdom.
What Must Be Kept in SEcond Place? Anything not to benefit the Society.
“Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom” Progressively?
Didn't they do that last year?
WhoWill Inherit God’s Kingdom? Those“Who Are Poor”
Is that why they are making people poor?
ThoseWho“Become as Young Children” The molested.
ThoseWhoHelp Christ’s Brothers
Help and fund the GB

Field service is not a command.
When Jesus said "Go forth and make disciples" he was not giving a command. He gave no commands, that was not his style.
The disciples were wondering what to do. They traveled with him for 3.5 years, he died like he did, he was resurrected and appeared to many. They wondered, 'Now what' by asking if he was going to restore the kingdom to them at that time, thinking the kingdom was earthly. (They didn't know about the gentile times ending in 1880 more years). As Jesus ascended he told them that they were to preach.
But that is not a command, it was something for them to do.
