  Thx Brock Talon, it takes some time and effort to do the research, then type the response. Without doing the research, no one can say "I know"

  I also have done the research, reading court documents from many cases, and watched the ARC videos that allow the WT reps to speak for themselves.

  When Geoffrey Jackson claimed to be a "Guardian of Doctrine," and others like him claim to 'represent the God of the Bible,' then perform as this scripture describes, they can no longer say.... they have God's approval.

  (Isaiah 59:3-4) 3 For YOUR own palms have become polluted with blood, and YOUR fingers with error. YOUR own lips have spoken falsehood. YOUR own tongue kept muttering sheer unrighteousness. 4 There is no one calling out in righteousness, and no one at all has gone to court in faithfulness. There has been a trusting in unreality, and a speaking of worthlessness. There has been a conceiving of trouble, and a bringing of what is hurtful to birth.

  This chart is awesome! Thank you for all of the hard work, we have saved it for future reference!

  I lived thru those days, I remember those words in the WT of 1968... I was 13:

  "Even if we presume that youngsters of 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914"

  What 13 year olds don't think sounds logical! Right?

  This is too sad, It is amazing that this boy that has been recorded can remain so calm. I hope he keeps surviving..... and so sad to hear the way this mom reasons about life.... reminds me of my sister. A very depraved JW way of thinking... wishing your children were dead rather than simply 'believing in a different way of life.' That is definitely mental abuse. I hope this boy survives, and it looks like, with the help of his older brother... he will.....

  Beards galore at the Assembly

  by Truthexplorer in

  2. beliefs

  ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

  not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

  is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

  When 1914 is wrong, the slave is gone!

  1914 and the article the WT printed in 2011 was the tipping point for me.

  What is the most important thing about the date 1914?

  If 1914 is wrong, there cannot be any slave that was appointed in 1919.

  Just because "generations overlap" or "Jehovah is letting more people come into the truth".... or "it doesn't matter to me how long he let's this system continue".....

  When 1914 is wrong, the slave is gone.

  Article: "Thousands Stranded In Greek Border Camp Have Nowhere To Go" (Guess who shows up daily at the camp?)

  this is what it states in the middle of the article:.

  "around the idomeni camp, canteens have mushroomed to sell food to the refugees.

  I read the entire article, and did find it interesting that the most JWs are attempting to do is set up stands.. hoping to place literature... so sad.

  All of these refugees have been through very difficult times, and need practical help.

  It's interesting that they mention NGO's (from the UN?) there to "help"... Wasn't the WT an NGO in the past?

  Thx Kaik, I am hoping that something fraudulent money wise will happen, or become visible, because... as you say, sometimes it's only money that might wake them up! We'll take it, right?!?

  No Candace Conti, no ARC, just "it something that happens everywhere"

  Thank you, kaik.... I was very interested to know how life was in other countries... I wondered, maybe, if elders had just decided to start doing things differently, asking for $$$....

  You used the term "overseer", and although it is used for Circuit Overseer, this term was used long ago in USA as a word for "elder."... So, I thought maybe, since your mom was irritated, saying "Why doesn't he work for himself" that he was actually an elder (not a CO).... Especially after you told us the story about the problems in Prague..

  I thought, 'Hey, maybe CZ became isolated, they did not know what it was like in other countries, and some men took advantage of that and told the bro's and sisters that they had to support the elders... ???? You never know, right?

  Thanks for the insight!

  I am wondering, Kaik, if it is simply a language miscommunication, or... Are Elders supported by the congregation? Do congregations cook for elders all the time? That does not happen in USA....

  Or, is this "overseer" that comes around a circuit overseer?

  Either way, it sounds like Czech has a few "rules of its own"? Is this a repeat of the Bethel adventure there?
