Jehovah's Chariot slams into reverse!

by apocalypse in

the question i will be asking dubs at the hall this week is, "since jesus is directing the slave.... why has he done a 180..?".

last sunday we studied how jesus is directing the slave to build an average of 5 kingdom halls a day since 2000. why has he changed his mind and gone in the completely opposite direction?.

if this 'change' is not securely lodged in their craw by the time i am through, then i will eat my hat..

It's amazing that the way Jehovah directs this organization is completely indistinguishable from what it would look like if God was NOT directing it or involved in any way, but that it is run by seven clueless, uninspired buffoons with no business savvy or financial acumen.

What an awesome and subtle God we worship!

Sad Reality...

by JW_Rogue in

...is that most jws don't know anything about the financial news that is happening right now.

sure it has trickled down to the elders and those who volunteer for construction but the average jw has no idea.

no one in my hall has said a thing about it.

Oubliette

You got that right.

If ignorance is bliss, then the average JW must be in constant ecstasy!

by obarac in

any news?

DD: I can't think of any water baptisms mentioned after Jesus' baptism.

Ethiopian eunuch. - Acts 8:36, 38:

Now as they were going along the road, they came to a body of water, and the eunuch said: “Look! Here is water; what prevents me from getting baptized?” ... With that he commanded the chariot to halt, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

Titch, how did your niece find out about the changes? I know they're up on jw.org, but the letter informing the elders wasn't released until 3pm today and won't be read to the congregations until tomorrow!

we are all abuzz

by Sabin in

o.k i`ve just been watching the demonstration for the new meeting format & have fell about laughing.

is this some kind of joke.

did anyone find it totally ironic that they are using a mag on honesty, honestly are they f...king off their heads.

Oubliette

Sabin: Please tell me you picked up on this to!

Yeah, quite a few have commented on the irony in other threads.

The level of hypocrisy shown time and again by the bastards running this cult is just completely unbelievable.

They make the Pharisees of the Bible look like amateurs.

Let's review: It's a cult!

CLAM Instructions - They are irresponsibly stupid

by Listener in

there will be three presentations during the new christian life & ministry meeting.

they will be presented by two people and the gb has made specific instructions as to who can be involved in these presentations.

in all 3 presentations the same explicit instruction is given which is as follows -.

Oubliette

The reason for this is that the morons running this show are stupid. Every time they try to "fix" one problem, they create two or three more.

Oh, and let's not forget they're control freaks. They are clueless control freaks without any intelligence, creativity or imagination.

The NEW "Bible Teach" book

by Oubliette in

the new "bible teach" book is out!

thetruthbr has posted links for this and several other of the new publications.

as an educator, i am very interested in where the society is heading with their alleged "bible education" program.

Ding: I wasn't referring to an analysis of readability. I was asking if anyone has done a substantive analysis regarding changes in doctrine, changes in emphasis, etc.

Gotcha!

I'll leave that laborious task to someone else. I do know that 607 B.C.E. is still in there.

Keep in mind that the current GB don't have an original idea amongst them. It's pretty clear that all of the current changes--which are 100% form and zero content--are coming from outside sources. Everything has the fingerprints of marketing consultants all over it.

That's funny Village Idiot!

You probably know this but, I'm not aiming for the general public. I aim is a little higher! ... lol

Our CLAM meeting (vid): SELF-NEGATION is the first "treasure" from first meeting segment

by Gilgamesh in

in the first sample video of the clam meeting (christian life and ministry) at about 5 minutes, 50 seconds in, a brother (steven phillips) is assigned the first segment of the new meeting, "treasures from god's word.

" ( http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201510_5_video ).

he shows just how sloppy the wts still is at trying to explain the deeper meanings of scriptures.

Brass instruments are the loudest instruments in an orchestra. Blaring is often the accurate word!

TOH: It's not the "old" TEACH book, oubliette - it's still the one to use.

I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread.

TOH: The new book is for those with limited capacity, and therefore it is no wonder it is written the way it is written.

I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread.

TOH: I don't see how you can critisize [sic] a book for those with learning difficulties to be written in a not-too-academic way.

I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread. Please see my response to Barrold at the top of page 2 of this thread.
