this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

Listener: I am starting to think that this was the actual test of faith that would be presented at this meeting. The JWs on JWTalk passed the test with flying colours. It would seem that the GB deliberately came up with such stupid comments (eg coloured socks) to see how the r&f would react so that they are aware of just how easy or difficult it is to make future changes.

That's an interesting point.My 70 year old MIL doesn't understand all the new lights and all the back and forth changes of jw teachings.She says that it's probably Jehovah testing and sifting us. I asked her if he was doing that by giving us false information.Does that make sense?So when will he stop testing us and give us the truth? She couldn't answer that.

Many jws will try to find an acceptable reason as to why things don't add up.But they will not accept that it's because God is not using this organization.

Tony the Turd clearly says, "People say 'God understands.' Well, that's not the god of the bible, that's not the god I know."

There you have it.The announcement that will test jws faith.That is,if they are not too busy gushing over his forthrightness to actually think.

Many WILL close their minds to the news.I know some jws who after hearing all this have said that they will go down with the ship.And a couple who say they are jws for life regardless of what is happening.

Nevertheless,I am sure some thinking jws will start researching-I did in 2012 after hearing about the Conti case.So did a couple of my friends who are now awake.

JustVisiting:The GB uses Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesss in their letterhea not WTBTS . The lawyers would need to legally show the GB's complicity. Losch's statement may be technically true, but ask any JW and they would tell a different story 100%.

Yes,you are right.And lately they have been using their own letterhead "The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses" and not "The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" as discussed on this thread started by oubliette.

Sarita J,

The GB members are just independent contractors.

Oh,ok.

After almost 30 years a JW,I am suddenly realizing that I don't know so much about this organization.Talk about new light.

Doesn't the GB use the WTS logo and letter heads when communicating policy to the congregations?That confirms to the congs that the correspondence is legitimate,from christ's brothers.

Very clever of the WTS.Hint at something so that you can say never specifically stated something when your interpretation turns out to be false.

GustvC:The abusers issue is of no consequence.

GustvC: Actually, for the number of existing JWs, the number of abuse cases is really minuscule

Your bible says: Luke 17: 1-2 Then he said to his disciples: “It is unavoidable that causes for stumbling should come. Nevertheless, woe to the one through whom they come! 2 It would be more advantageous for him if a millstone were hung from his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to stumble one of these little ones.

Mt 18:6 But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have hung around his neck a millstone that is turned by a donkey and to be sunk in the open sea.

Mr 9:42 But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who have faith, it would be better for him if a millstone that is turned by a donkey were put around his neck and he were pitched into the sea.

hi guys, ive finally got a copy of coc from my local library, im on page 120ish and im really enjoying it!

the thing that gets me now that im enlightened is how little the rank and file know about anything this organazation does!

everything is so secretive and covered up behind a curtain.

Total shock at some things.Other things didn't surprise me.Later, anger at how a group of men control the lives of millions yet some of them are not even sure about /do not believe in what they are teaching.

So he does not as an individual have authority to make or determine policies of the WTS.Is he implying that the entire GB should be deposed? Or is that just an escape route?

The GB as individuals do not answer to the WTS, are not employees or members of WTS,yet they as a group make policies for this corporation Are they just unconnected outsiders invited by the WTS to make policies for them?

They must think people are stupid.
