If you don't rat on your friends to the elders if they do something the WT says is wrong you're not loyal to Jehovah.

How pathetic these so called loving Governing Body are, they truly are a bunch of grumpy old geezers.

Loyalty to Jehovah can be tested when a friend gets involved in wrongdoing that needs to be

brought to the attention of the elders

Never allow misguided loyalty to a friend to overshadow your loyalty to Jehovah

Approach that friend, and urge him to report the matter to his parents or to the elders; tell him

that if he does not do so within a reasonable period of time, you will (Pr 27:5; w91 6/15 21)

Can the GB be directed by Holy Spirit and at the same time be not inspired ?

by Chook in

yes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.

so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..

Yes if you engage in a lot of wishful thinking then you can "have your cake and eat it too" be directed by God and their run his Earthly Organization and when things go wrong you can always chalk it up to being mildly and ever so slightly pushed by Jehovah's spirit but the push wasn't hard enough and so you didn't let him lead you in his infinitely delicate way because you got your signals cross and took a right when it should of been a left.

So by not claiming direct inspiration by God one can claim to be God's Organization but not under strict control of the Deity's direct unmistakable influence just some gentle proding and so everybody's got to be odediance to any rule they make.

I sure we can all agree that no government on earth today is the type of government Marx invisioned that implements all his ideas.

Cognis,

Some good points.

I posted video about the man Karl Marx not about the communist state after all He was brilliant economist, and his ideas(not really read up on the man al that much) offer some sage advice IMO.

Interesting quote from WC, JP.

I'm not sure about what form of government is better. I do kind of agree with Plato but I can't find the quote I think it goes something like this: "Governments degrade into Democracy and that the best one could hope for in his day was a benevolent dictatorship".

To me for Democracy to be good depends on the intelligence of the people in the democracy, because how can the people rule if they don't know anything about the thing they are voting on. Democratic elections in the USA play on the ignorance of the people, myself included and so it's a crap shoot. If intelligent people are making better decisions then that's good but how can one vote beneficially if they know nothing about the subject . I think Plato's government of choice was not a democracy but Aristocracy where the best qualified for ruling were in power.

Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

by doubtfull1799 in

“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

(matt.

4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

Brokeback Watchtower

O my fucking word:

“Like the neighborly Samaritan in Jesus’ illustration, we want to help suffering people, including those who are not Witnesses. (Luke 10:33-37) The best way to do so is by sharing the good news with them. “It is important to make clear right away that we are Jehovah’s Witnesses and that our primary mission is to help them spiritually, not materially,” notes an elder who has helped many refugees. “Otherwise, some may associate with us only for personal advantage.”

What a bunch of asshole wrote this it is so sick it is beyond words. Yes make it very clear to these people were not handing out material support of any kind strictly something to read to brainwash them into Watchtower corporation servitude or Watchtower code word "Good News of the kingdumb"

Do You Hope Donald Trump Makes Jestures Of Mending USA With Russia Relationships?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think the problems the us and russia face are mainly ideological.

the cold war these two countries have been in needs to be stopped and common sense needs to be applied i hope trump can push thing in the right direction and that he has good advisors.

i'm all for these two major world military powers to put away their differences and find way to work together on common problems they face.. they need to cooperate with each other even in their cyber warfare.

Brokeback Watchtower

I agree Trump may make more concessions due being new to the presidency I'm thinking everything could be more 50/50 near the end of his term, a good give and take situation that eventually works equally well for both parties should be the goal of these talks where reasonableness predominates stripped of who's going to be macho man.

I'm tending towards this being a totally good thing that has rewards for both the US and Russia, as we enter the next decade with the hatchet buried as a history lesson about clashes between the two ideologies.

I'm hopeful I think the time has come with technology ever increasing for these guys to show us the way into the 21st century.

Hy,

Well, then the historical record finds Marx to be fantastically wrong. Communist societies, instead of eliminating class-based conflict, ensconced it, and perpetuated it.

I don't think he predicted it would happen as soon as you're suggesting but given that soon robots of all sorts will be taking over many jobs and lessen the need for workers things become fully automated and user freindly) so that vast majority of the working class are out of jobs. I think that will be the beginning of adopting a communistic way of life because capitalism just won't have the answers as technology increases exponentially.

If he succeeds simply in not bringing about the end of civilisation I'll settle for that.

I'm starting to like him, and could see why the Russians would try to turn the election in his favor without collusion with Trump before hand. Hilary's anti Russian stance would get in the way of bringing about better relations with Russia she too indoctrinated by government propaganda against such a thing happening.

It would be great for two great ideologies about how to run a government could kind of Yin and Yang it with each other show off some accomplishments and learn from one another and not locked into mortal conflicts just by giving in a little to each others views of the world (walk a mile in my shoes type of understanding before you criticize and abuse type of action).

Once you got the shoe on the other foot so to speak or with more understanding ending long time feuds with more understanding of the other side.

Once I know enough about my enemy to defeat him is also the moment I truly love him or something like that, I forget how it goes.
