  i've been getting reports that those elders that have attended the school are very tight lipped about the school when they return.

  This must be just in the USA only. There isn't any such school here in the country I'm living in (Pacific Asia region). How about others?

  Taken from the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived book Chapter 82 in reference to Luke 13:24 "Exert yourself vigorously to get in through the narrow door".

  I came to the realization that the "narrow door" leads INTO freedom and OUT of the WTS.

  Mill Hill Disfellowshippings and JW prayers

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the following comment was posted in the "mill hill disfellowshipping" thread:.

  all 4 were disfellowshipped for believing that the entirety of the ransom, including the new covenant, and the mediatorship and everything else in the bible, applied to everyone.. if that is the case, why do all of the jw prayers, public and private, end with "we pray this through your son, jesus christ, amen"?.

  ending prayers like this implies that the payer is going through jesus, hence jesus is the mediator for all prayers made by jws!.

  Interestingly Sir82, is that the scripture you quoted (John 14:14) makes a very significant point in the footnote of the NWT reference Bible.

  It basically quotes Jesus as saying, "If you ASK ME anything in my name..."

  Does it sound like praying to Jesus?

  JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday

  by shopaholic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.

  the talk was solely about fb.

  the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

  I just had two JWs on my friends list delete their FB account last week. Coincidence?

  Let's see how many more will during the upcoming weeks.

  Perry, I like your response and solid reasoning that you expressed to the elders.

  I appreciate the "heads-up" alert and will implement the spirit behind the scriptures that you posted earlier.

  Guess who will start partaking at this Memorial on March 30th?

  Watchtower 2080 "New thought on the Generation"

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower study article jun 15th 2080 (direct retina scanned edition).

  14...the watchtower of nov 15th 2037 brought out the increased light that the 144,000 of revelation should not be understood as a figurative number , but that the heavenly hope is open to all who wish to partake.

  we rejoice that the number who profess such a hope has risen to over one million now , together with the over 35 million of the great crowd class.

  Nice article Jeff.

  I notice the pounding in and referencing of Matthew 24:45-47 all over.

  That is the WTS "ace" card.

  Paragraph 17 is the clincher and convincer for all mindless JWs.

  Actually, you can have this very same paragraph in any article that highlights a new change of understanding....in any year.

  2. friends

  a few months ago there was a thread about a couple of elders at the mill hill bethel being disfellowshipped because they disagreed with some wt doctrine (i can't recall exactly what it was) and that several other betheliteswere under 'investigation'.

  i haven't heard anything since, does anyone know anything more about this?.

  2. bible

  just looked through some of the largest populations in the world and ten of them add up to 3,500,000,000. how many witnesses serve these 10 countries.

  no more than 60,000. the largest are china and india which together have around 2.5 billion people.

  so is the jw good news being spread earthwide.

  I made a somewhat similiar point to an elder in my congregation last summer.

  He then had the "deer in the headlights" look on his face. That was then followed by a nervous smile and he said, "That's why we need to go out and preach urgently."
