  Dec 15th WT - Our Watchfulness Takes on Greater Urgency

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i picked up this copy of the wt, i couldn't believe what i saw in the two study articles.

  the first one is entitled "our watchfulness takes on greater urgency" and the second article is "prove yourselves ready for jehovah's day".. i'm not going to go into these articles in depth, as that is blondies job!

  but i will elaborate on a few points.. before i begin, let's consider a recent comment at the annual general meeting by bro barr, a gb member to put things into perspective:.

  90 years have passed since the last days of this system of things began in 1914.

  I thought that they were getting away from the 1914 date.

  In all their talk about spiritual conversations they never encourage the flock to use their bibles to have some truly encouraging exchanges.

  The spiritual conversations that I have ever been involved in were no more then how is the weather-type topics.

  Most jw don't want to have spiritual conversations. In all the years of reg pioneering, I tried many times to have "spiritual conversations". I found that if you say to much they label you a "know-it-all". If you get too deep they say you have apostaste leanings.

  Thanks blondie

  Our provincial curriculum for grade and high school is very intense and quite sophisticated therefore

  some has to come home.

  I allow 1hour of homework a day. When the hour is up homework is put away.

  So far it has worked.
