  Did you know that God will terminate your supervisors employment, and give you their old job?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  according to the wt study yesterday, that's what happened.. 16. by allowing jehovah to instruct us and lead us in the path of uprightness, we will have no cause for fear.

  when a regular pioneer in the united states applied for a job that would help him to keep his entire family in full-time service, his supervisor told him that he would never get that position without a college degree.

  had this happened to you, would you have regretted pursuing full-time service to the exclusion of seeking higher education?

  The Watchtower appears to make up some of the experiences it publishes.

  What was the experience published in The Watchtower where a third world Jehovah's Witness woman (actually a girl) with no college education was offered a job that paid an outlandish amount of money?

  If I recall correctly, the experience was so ridiculous that even The Watchtower stopped using it.

  Edited to add that I found it.

  12 THE WATCHTOWER ? MAY 15, 2011

  5 What good results there can be when
  children are trained to keep a simple eye!
  Consider the example of a teenage girl in the
  country of Ethiopia. She did so well in her
  schoolwork that upon completing her basic
  education, she was offered a scholarship for
  further education. Having her eye focused
  on serving Jehovah, however, she turned
  down the scholarship. Soon thereafter, she
  received a job offer that would pay her 3,000
  euros a month-a high amount in comparison
  with the average wages in her country.
  But the girl's "eye" was set on pioneer service.
  She did not need to consult her parents
  to turn down the job. How did her parents
  feel on learning what their daughter had
  done? Why, they rejoiced with her and told
  her how proud they were of her!

  Latest WT: Reduction in branch offices is "visible proof" that Christ is "breaking down human barriers"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as has already been mentioned, the december 15th watchtower (study edition) is now online and available for download on this link.. i couldn't help but smile at the concluding comments of the final study article on page 28 where it had this to say:.

  "the very concept of foreigner has already lost much of its meaning among jehovahs witnesses, who pay little attention to the nationality of those in their midst.

  recently, for example, several of their smaller branch offices were merged to simplify the work of oversight and to improve efficiency in accomplishing the preaching of the good news of the kingdom.

  That is yet another visible proof that Jesus Christ as Jehovah’s rightfully enthroned Ruler is breaking down human barriers, and he is the one who will soon “complete his conquest”

  Jehovah has done nothing!

  Humans, both JWs and those in the secular governments have taken action to make international business operations easier!

  I am tired of The Watchotwer attributing to an imaginary Jehovah those things that have been done by humans.

  It is the Watchtower's attempt to make Jehovah "real."

  "When my father was on his deathbed, two of your fellow believers came and read the Bible to him every day. "

  Do you think this actually happened?

  This sounds like a made up assembly experience to me.

  The Watchtower always attributes the actions of humans to Jehovah!

  "The next morning, this brother was given the very job that the former director had refused to give him. Indeed, when we put Kingdom interests first in our life, Jehovah lives up to his assurance that we will not go without material necessities"

  Jehovah didn't do anything, it was the manager that appointed the regular pioneer to the job!

  This kind of thinking is encouraged by The Watchtower.

  Jehovah is imaginary, in order to make it appear that he is real and is doing something, the actions of humans must be attributed to him.

  Example: Man donates $20,000 to build a Kingdom Hall. Witnesses will say "Jehovah has provided."

  Jehovah didn't provide anything. He doesn't even have a bank account!

  The JWs live in an delusional world of their own making.

  Noah's Ark was a Submarine!

  Aliens Helped Build Noah's Ark File: UFO224 ANCIENT TESTS REVEAL THAT NOAH'S ARK WAS BUILT WITH THE HELP OF SPACE ALIENS AND THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A SUBMARINE ESPECIALLY MADE TO HELP HIM SURVIVE THE GREAT FLOOD, SAY EXPERTS. AUTHOR AND BIBLICAL SCHOLAR ZECHARIA SITCHIN ANALYZED THE ORIGINAL HEBREW VERSION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT AND OTHER ANCIENT WRITINGS. ACCORDING TO THOSE TEXTS, NOAH WAS ADVISED TO CONSTRUCT A BOAT ROOFED OVER AND BELOW AND HERMETICALLY SEALED WITH PITCH, SAID SITCHIN. THERE WERE TO BE NO DECKS, NO OPENINGS, SO THAT THE SUN SHALL NOT SEE INSIDE. THE BOAT WAS TO BE A VESSEL THAT COULD TURN AND TUMBLE. THE ONLY KIND OF BOAT THAT FITS THAT DESCRIPTION, SITCHIN SAID, IS A SUBMARINE. AND WHAT'S MORE, HE ADDED, THE BIBLICAL TERM FOR ARK IN ANCIENT HEBREW STEMS FROM THE WORD SUNKEN. ONLY A SUBMARINE COULD HAVE WITHSTOOD THE 40 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF SUCH A RAGING FLOOD, ADDED SITCHIN. NO ORDINARY SURFACE VESSEL COULD HAVE SURVIVED THE TUMULTUOUS WAVES WITHOUT BEING SUNK. SITCHIN ALSO STUDIED ANCIENT TEXTS FROM SUMER, WHICH IS PART OF IRAQ TODAY. IN A PASSAGE FROM ONE OF THE TEXTS, HE SAID, NOAH EXPLAINS THAT HE SURVIVED THE FLOOD THANKS TO THE HELP OF SUPERIOR BEINGS FROM ANOTHER PLANET WHO HELPED HIM BUILD THE ARK. LIKE A MODERN SUBMARINE, THE ARK HAD BALLAST TANKS THAT ALLOWED IT TO SUBMERGE AND TO SURFACE, SITCHIN SAID. BEFORE THE DELUGE, IT TOOK IN AN OXYGEN SUPPLY AND LATER IT SURFACED TO GET MORE AIR. BRAD STEIGER, RENOWNED UFO INVESTIGATOR, AGREED THAT NOAH'S ARK WAS INDEED A SUBMARINE AND THAT MAN AT THAT TIME DID NOT HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO BUILD SUCH A BOAT, AND NEEDED SPACE ALIENS TO HELP. ONE MUST HAVE ADVISED NOAH TO CONSTRUCT A WATERBORNE VESSEL TO PREVENT HIS DEATH, SAID STEIGER. BUT NOAH WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THE PRINCIPLES OF BUILDING SUCH A CRAFT. BEING A MERE MORTAL, NOAH WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE ABILITY TO CONSTRUCT A SUBMARINE. HE WOULD HAVE NEEDED EXTRATERRESTRIAL ASSISTANCE TO BUILD HIS CRAFT. AND HAYDEN HEWES, DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL UFO BUREAU, AGREED, THERE DOES NOT EXIST A SINGLE IOTA OF DOUBT THAT NOAH'S ARK WAS A SUBMARINE. AND IT WAS BUILT BY NOAH WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL GUIDANCE. **** THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ ****

  [The elder giving the public talk] "He said look at Noah, Jehovah gave him a commission to preach and he did just so"

  So the elders just add what they want to the Bible stories? That is bad.

  How would the elder respond if you asked him "Scripture please?"
