Lurkers and Apologists, can you please explain.....
by DATA-DOG in..from the scriptures why.... 1) material wealth is a sign of jehovah's blessing in our modern day.. 2) why jehovah blesses the growth of chicken populations, but allows active jehovah's witnesses to die in field service, or on the way to conventions, and on the way to celebrate the memorial?
3) why jesus is not your mediator?
bibles and a concordance only.

Does the Bible teach that material prosperity is a sign of God's favor? I ask because this is often an argument used by JWs to prove that the WTBTS is THE CHANNEL.Monsieur wrote:
But, what I'd love to get just a straight yes or no answer on is this - does god/love bless people with wealth?I am an active JW. I have heard this argument before about the Organization. If a fellow witness were to utter such non-sense around me (and they have at times), a serious disscussion using the following verses would ensue:
- Psalms 51:16-17
- Luke 18:9-14
- Mark 12:41-44
To say, in anyway shape or form, that monetary blessings form a basis for proving gods aproval is completely absurd, and ANY witness should know better. I wouldn't care who said, it, CO, DO, GB member, the bible would immediately be opened and such a blasphemous argument would get shattered.
Now I can't possibly speak for, or absolve what has been written in various forms by idiots in the writing department over the last 70 years or whatever. But if you are looking for a straight answer, the answer is; NO, the Bible does not teach that material prosperity is a sign of God's favor; and NO god does not only bless/love people with wealth.
EDIT:
Not sure if the above counts, I don't think you can classify me as a lurker or apologist, but whatevs.

So is somebody going to get a recording of this event and put it on YouTube or something?This is not a promise, but I'll see what I can do. I am not at liberty to discuss details at this point, but if I find a way to discreetly make a file or something to that nature, I'll be sure to at least post it on this forum.

Jeffro, he only sniffs it.Well he is a quite docile 19yr old boy who takes exacting notes at all meetings and assemblies, and can't think for himself; the "glue" has most certainly gone to his head. I've always said they put something in the food at Bethel to make everyone mindless. Although, I have eaten there on occasion and I didn't get any dumber, at least not that I can tell, lol.

Warehouse... we love having you here, Iam curious about your name.?A long time ago, on a forum far far away, I made a few internet buddies and we had lots of fun. Then some of those buddies got banned from the forum as a result of their troll hijinks. They subsequently moved to a new forum.
I found them, but didn't want them to know who I was so that many lol's could be had (playing tricks on one another was a hallmark of these guys). So I went by the name warehouse because they wouldn't connect it to me, at least not initially; and also because I worked in a warehouse previously.
The name warehouse is my one online name that is completely unconnected to anything in real life, with the sole exception being my work history. I guess using it for this forum, it can take on another meaning, that being I've become a warehouse of analysis. But that's a stretch, lol. -

If anything, it's got to be a new reference bible.This is what a bethelite who works directly in the bindery at Wallkill basically eluded to me. That the reference NWT, deluxe NWT, hardcover NWT, and softcover NWT are all being discontinued, and combined into one single format. It makes sense, that way they only have to print one kind of bible.
*It should be noted that this bethelite is a peon. He tests the glue they use, so take the above info with a grain of salt. -

What initially prompted the Society to seize control of the Kingdom Hall and accounts? Is there any back info on what started everything?

Along with OUTLAW I've gotten the forum tools back as well. Though, I messed up the html in some of my posts, and whatever change Simon made to get the forum tools back deranged those posts, lol, oh well. I'm guessing he was making changes to his css styles.
