  I'm against raising the minimum because it does nothing. It raises everything to the next level and we are where we are at now.

  active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

  active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

  inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

  #3. I think meetings and assemblies are a waste of time. Online is better. This covid shutdown has been good for the fade. I stopped attending in Sept 2019. I never got the info for the zoom meetings. In Feb an elder called and wanted to talk to me but I ignored that. I felt that I don't need to burn any bridges, I just don't need to cross them either.

  i'm actually looking forward to their warped view of matthew, mark, luke and john for this.

  the drama from 2015 wasn't that bad.

  however.... yeah steven lett mentions othe films about jesu are plagued with false religion.

  The Watchtower has the most accurately based belief as to Jesus so it won't be warped.

  1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things

  by Ding in

  awake!

  "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  I stopped the door to door work when they came out with these door bell cameras and porch pirates made the news. I don't want to be recorded or spoken to through a camera. I don't like talking through a peep hole. And I don't want to be on camera or recorded when a package comes up missing for some reason.

  the gaping hole in this week's weak wt study.

  by waton in

  2. bible

  for pimi pimo persons: give us one text that says those aspiring to everlasting life should not partake of the bread and wine.

  in the article, the whole proposition of refusing the emblems is based on the personal experience of one brother in the 1930s.!

  all jws partook.

  Vidqun:

  "To the contrary, note what Jesus says of you if you don't partake: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day” (cf. John 6:48-54 ESV)."

  Jesus did not mean that literally that people have to eat and drink anything to get life.

  When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  obviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.

  .

  but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

  Minimus, Witnesses have the truth about the condition of the dead and who go to heaven and why. The truth about God and his son. The truth about living well and good lives.

  They don't say anything about birthdays. The interesting thing is that now, plantation parties are considered bad because of what happened 200 years ago on plantations; so why aren't birthday parties considered bad because of bad things happening at them in the past?

  Yes, we can pick and choose what we can do. We can believe bible truths regardless of the organization.

  jhine.

  It is simple.

  Only 144,000 as Revelation says, get resurrected as spirit being to serve as kings and priests with Jesus. There is no need for anyone else to do that. They have a job to do.

  As kings and priests, there will be ones they rule over and intercede for and those ones will be on the earth and those will live for the 1000 years.
