The embarrassing history of the misnomer called JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

by Terry in

jw
friends

the scriptures portray a person named stephen who is termed the first "martyr.

" the greek word means "witness.".

( greek : , martys , "witness"; stem -, martyr- ).

Terry,

Always enjoy your comments and insight. I suspect that we are about the same age since I was also a caught up in the Vietnam War fiasco in 1969-71. I lived in California and the sentence that a lot of us California JW's received was: '2 years working in a community hospital'. I guess the prisons were too full of real criminals. lol

"The Jews were not allowed to execute anybody by order of Roman Law!"

I always found that account about Stephen quite unusual also. The Jews couldn't executeJesus because of Roman law, yet these same Jews could execute Stephen? and in Jerusalem? The bible account seems a little inconsistent to say the least.

One day Circuit Assembly Review !!

by DATA-DOG in

it sucked!!.

so what's going on in the borg!?

what have you missed??

eyeuse2badub

I attended the 1 day with my wife last weekend. What I found interesting was their was no mention or reference, at all, to ANYTHING that Tony or Sammy talked about during the Zone Visit fiasco. Nothing about 'tight pants, spanx, or for sisters to only marry a MS'. Wow! Even the CO's must still be trying to assimulate that crap from the Zone Visit talks. lol Or are the CO's just ignoring the words of the words of Christ's brothers?

Hi Greybeard,

I remember your post of several years ago. You mentioned an elder named Ron Dare who was on you're df'ing committee. I know him from another cong. I liked him but total company man.

I'm close to your location and would like to meet up with you soon. maybe even share some herb. PM me and I'll get in touch.

Daily Text And Copyright Issues

by Bangalore in

found this on a jw group on facebook.. .

.

bangalore.

eyeuse2badub

How stupid is their 'copyright' claim. If they publish their classically flawed doctrines, it's going to to get 'published' on the internet. Has the 'faithful slave' checked with big J to see if they are violating any of his 'copyright' laws by twisting what he published?

Are Today's Elders The Same As The Elders of the Last Century?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was 24 when i was first appointed as an elder.

i very much respected the old timers, the elders that were basically good guys, family men and who tried to be good examples, although they knew they were far from perfect.

i haven't been to a meeting in about a decade and i wonder if the elders of today are that much different than those of yesteryear.

eyeuse2badub

If you get 10 hours in 'serve-us', conduct a 'family worship' night, answer at the WT study, show up to clean the KH, don't smoke (in public), not a (public) drunk, you're qualified to be an elder. Welcome brother, now get your butt to work!

Marriage outside the religion punishable?

by Pattytheperfectone in

now i know they have always discouraged marrying outside of their so called 'truth' but since when has it been a punishable offense?

my sister recently married and they are discussing wether her being married to an outsider will stumble others and if they need to reprove or disfellowship her for it..

eyeuse2badub

Marriage outside the religion punishable? -----What a JOKE!

This whole subject really shows just how arbitrary the wtbts is when it come to bible interpretation. The borg likes to sell us on how they use "bible principles" as a basis for the moral standards that they enforce. For example; smoking is a df'ing offence, BUT the bible doesn't actually condemn smoking.

On the other hand, the bible actually DOES condemn marring an 'unbeliever'. You know those scriptures; "DO NOT become unevenly yoked with an UNBELIEVER" ; and "marry ONLYin the Lord". Those 2 scriptures are not principles, they are laws stated by the apostle Paul. Yet the wtbts choses to ignore these 2 laws. WHY? lol

"At the Zone meeting Tight Pants Tony advised young Sisters from even marrying a Baptized JW Brother if he wasn't a Ministerial Servant yet. "

Would it be a good idea if all of us, still attending meetings, asked some of the elders in our congregation if they could "now", in all good conscience, perform a wedding between a sister and a brother 'IF' the brother is not a MS? After all, Tony (one of Christ's brothers) advised it for all to hear!

Could the service committee allow a wedding in the KH between a sister and brother if the brother is not a MS? (Remember what Tony said at the Zone meeting!)

Reject "worldly" fantasies, pursue Kingdom "realities"!!!

by DATA-DOG in

have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??

i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.

"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.

eyeuse2badub

I have often asked my wife why the org. so vehemently discourages 'higher education' except when they need professional help, engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc. LOL!

Double standard at it's best!

11/30/2014 WT Study - take care of those who are all used up.

by OneEyedJoe in

was bored during today's indoctrination lesson, and you guys weren't generating enough content to keep me entertained, so i looked agreed at next week's a bit.

basically the point of the hour lesson is that once the society has completely used someone up, they're to be dumped on next of kin (or anyone who'll take 'em) to take care of 'em.

obviously the wts can't dip into any of the millions/billions that they're sitting on to pay for the support of ailing missionaries - they've got that money earmarked for new cult compounds and paying off victims of the pedophiles that they've protected over the years.. just another in a recent string of articles paying lip service to taking care of those that have given their life to the cult while they do absolutely nothing from their ivory towers.

Have you ever wondered why the WTBTS loves to quote the book of the Bible book of JAMES about 'faith without works is dead' , but rarely mention the James 1:27, "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation..............."

Does the WTBTS have an'orphan and widow fund"? No! so is their worship clean and undefiled from God's standpoint? No!

Best scriptures for countering TOMO III's comment about "inactive ones"??

by DATA-DOG in

what do you say, bible gurus???

a relative asked me what i thought of the zone visit.

i am in the process of gathering my thoughts.

eyeuse2badub

Try James 1:27 from the silver sword bible;

paraphrased it says;

"The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is, to look out for widows and orphans in their tribulation..................."

What provisions does the WTBTS have to help, aid, assist, or in other words, "to look out for" widows or orphans?

NONE
