I've worked with the Cajun Navy and their donation warehouse. Many different churches came and donated, except for one.

It was good enough for C.T. Russell.....
by BoogerMan in....but not for jw's!.
w70 4/15 p. 250 -"in 1870 charles taze russell...was not satisfied with the sectarian [jw's are sectarian] explanations of the bible given him, so he started a bible-study class with several of his friends....".
km 9/07 p. 3 question box - "does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research or debate?

Original poster, I don't see your point.
Jesus prophesied that Russell would study and start a new group of preachers and teachers. It is not a matter of independent study but the sifting of the weeds from the wheat and study is what does the sifting. However those who leave JWs because of their so-called study aren't doing what Jesus stated.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

Jehovah's Witnesses have always been witnesses or preachers of Jesus. That is what Matt 24:14 is about.
This good news of the king will be preached...
That king is Jesus.

Back in the 80s I wrote to him and argued deity doctrine with him. He was just like the rest in that he played connect the words. Jesus was called this and Jehovah was called the same, they must be the same. That is poor theology and scholarship.

Two Bible teachings JW's DON'T know about....
by BoogerMan in....but the november 2022 study watchtower will definitely instruct them.. 1) god's name is jehovah!.
2) jehovah is using an earthly organization to do his will - not jesus!.
in study article 45, 'jehovah' is mentioned at least 60 times.

i want to be able to slip in seeds of doubt, but at the same time i have to seem a bit current...) so i welcome to know any take outs, commentary, good or bad, or the video plots, etc.

Why is everyone picking on Lett over that? Learn to understand context.
What I like was the Saturday last talk. Splane says to not judge another. Talks about blood fractions and at what point does blood not become blood? It's the most anti-pharisaical they've shown. Now if only the elders get the point.
The Sunday morning symposium where they were so Covid afraid was ridiculous. Covid is done. why show things like that?

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1
by Rattigan350 ini found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".
was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.
and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

Then there was the dramatization of the pioneer sister that complained about the other pioneer sister with the makeup TikTok type social media videos. No one just came out and told the complainer to Mind your own business. If it doesn't concern you, it doesn't concern you. Why is she even following her and watching the videos if she doesn't like them?
