  Did You Ever Think You Would Be A Member On A Site Like This?

  by minimus in

  when i first started looking at “apostate” sites , i was always watching over my shoulder, hoping no one would catch me viewing “spiritual pornography”.

  i found these types of sites mesmerizing but i never thought i’d join one.... look at me now.😈.

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  Or actually we might as well just go the distance and say, "It's now 2040, Where is Armageddon?"

  Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

  obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

  can anyone confirm this?.

  I just got a call from the CO. He said that they are selling all the Kingdom Halls in the greater Cincinnati area.

  Then my alarm clock went off, and I realized it was all just a dream.

  Damn!

  Was just at the meeting tonight in Cincinnati. They announced there will be elders meeting in pubs homes to go over where they will be reassigned. Then they will post who will be in the KH on the information board in about a week or so.

  Nice. :(

  I kind of think about it this way.

  While waiting a traffic light, a tree falls onto a car, crushing the young man behind the wheel. The police ask the parents of the young man if he was "mature" for his age. They ask about his reputation and if he was a good student in school.

  Then with this information gathered and in-hand, they make a determination if the young man was at fault or if it was just an unforeseen occurrence.

  That's what I think of when the elders book asks these stupid-ass questions. If there's a crime, you don't evaluate the victim, you evaluate the facts.

  On the reliability of the Watchtower

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hello!

  could you give a link to the articles of the watchtower society, where they claim that information from the faithful and prudent slave comes from god and jesus christ.

  and also, that magazines publish not people's thoughts, but god?.

  *** w94 10/1 p. 8 The Bible—A Book Meant to Be Understood ***

  CHANNEL TO UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE

  JESUS assured us that after his death and resurrection, he would raise up a “faithful and discreet slave” that would serve as his channel of communication.(Matthew 24:45-47)” [...] “All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the “greatly diversified wisdom of God” can become known only through Jehovah’s channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave.—John 6:68.

  
  

  Also, they governing body say that they are actually substituting for Christ. They changed their Bible and added the word "substituting" when it's not even in the Greek and NO other Bible uses such a word.

  
  

  At 2 Corinthians 5:20, it says, “Therefore, we are ambassadors substituting for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us. As substitutes for Christ, we beg: “Become reconciled to God.”

  
  

  “A few anointed members of “the Israel of God” still remain, and as Jesus’ brothers, they continue to act as “ambassadors substituting for Christ.” (2 Cor. 5:20) They have been appointed as a faithful and discreet slave class to care for and provide spiritual food for anointed ones and a growing crowd of Christians, who now include millions having the hope of living on earth forever.” (WT 1-15-10 p. 31 par. 14)

  
  

  *** w13 7/15 p. 20 par. 2 “Who Really Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?” ***

  That faithful slave is the channel through which Jesus is feeding his true followers in this time of the end. It is vital that we recognize the faithful slave. Our spiritual health and our relationship with God depend on this channel.

  
  

  *** w09 2/15 p. 27 par. 11 They “Keep Following the Lamb” ***

  Since Jehovah God and Jesus Christ completely trust the faithful and discreet slave, should we not do the same?
