i have done this exactly as quoted more than once.
i ask elder if it's better to hide serious sin or reveal, of course we know the answer.
then i ask them to explain elders book page 38 paragraph 19, which say it's sometimes ok for elder who has committed immorality and has kept it secret to continue serving as elder.
Looking at those paragraphs, why wouldn't that hold true for anyone then? For a brother OR a sister? Why is it just for the elders?
That makes not sense! If a person has evidence of Jah's holy spirit in their life then let it alone right? But no, not if you're not an elder. That's a double standard if I ever say one for sure!
i have for some time been writing critical articles about different topics related to jehovah's witnesses on a blog.
but now i have made my own website of all that material.
the website is made in my own language, swedish.
Keep adding to your website. I'm sure it will be a success.
we learn from the bible that the characters that preached doomsday messages, such as lot, noah, etc all got to see the result of the message they preached, we studied that the final judgement from god was seen by the preacher as well as the people that heard and ignored the message.
my point is this, it would have been ridiculous for noah to start preaching to people, put the fear of god in all the listeners that the flood is coming, build the ark and then as a result, nothing happens to them.
even if the flood would have happened later, let's say 50 years after noah and all the people that heard him have died from natural causes.
Back to the OP, it just doesn't make any sense that the preaching work would go on for more than 140 years, it just doens't. There is no record in the Bible like that. Who benefits from it? Everyone's dead. And everyone keeps dying who hear's the word.
this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.
keep us updated with further details please.
this is big!
according to what they say if i'm correct an investigation was done back in 1998 in concerning what american companies invested money in to germany.
mike and kim state that a document they have attained shows a list of american firms that had invested into germany as late as 1943. on this list is non other then watchtower !!
here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuuGZeQC9ec
I believe that Mike & Kim believe it, but I don't. All they had was a spread sheet supposedly showing it as "proof", but hey, that's not really proof.
i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.
i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.
what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.
I believed that most likely I wouldn't die. I thought there was a possibly that I would be most likely not. And then I got married and thought we both could live on through the big A and we'd be happy ever after.
Now I have come to grips with the fact that I will die in the next 25 years or so.
my brother isn't a witness but he was raised one like we all were.
after 15 years living his own life he decided about a year ago to have a bible study.
this being the case, as a non baptized witness he can still speak to me but he's getting a lot of pressure not to from elders and the rest of my family.
I hate it when all the JW's say that anything that's not on JW.org is possibly from apostates. And this thinking is from the top down. It all stems from the WT inducing this folly of a logic to the rank and file. I had an elder tell me he may or may not believe even a positive new report on the witnesses! Yuck.

Great. Keep us up to date with it. In a way I feel sorry for them, but the truth is, to each his own. Stay your ground and bring forth the good arguments.
