  Little "oops" in today's WT Study article.

  by stillin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  paragraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.

  ok, i'm splitting hairs here.

  but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..

  Can my friend be DFd for dating a non witness and wanting to get married to him

  by cognitivedizzy in

  dear all, need some advice .

  in my country one can get dfd for pretty much anything the bullies want to df you for.

  but is there any specific guidelines that state one can or cannot be dfd for marrying a non witness.

  Another freakin example of the way the borg arbitrarily cherry picks the scriptures and misapplies them. The bible in both 1 and 2 Corinthians provides pretty specific instructions about “marry only in the lord” and “do not become unevenly yoked”. Yet one is seldom if ever df’ed for marrying an unbeliever. Smoke an occasional Cuban, (about which the bible says absolutely nothing) and you’ll be df’ed.

  Watchtower April 2016 Neutrality

  by Listener in

  2. bible

  suppose that a popular uprising tries to oust an oppressive regime, one under which gods people have also suffered.

  although we would not march with the protesters, might we be with them in spirit?

  Neutral eh? When selling up in Brooklyn was anywhere else in the world considered for the new HQ other than America?

  You're right! JW's is an American religion, born and raised. Recently, in order to be "politically" correct, the borg has brought in or 'promoted' some upper level personnel from other countries. But for the most part, the borg is historically white, american, balding old men.

  Gotta love those long legs. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Williams sisters knowing where they came from and where they are today. Hooray for women.

  CoBE Joins those Elders Deserting the Sinking Ship

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from a reliable source:.

  a young cobe - late thirties, maybe forty - has resigned in december 2015, both as the cobe and as an elder.

  word is that he is a man with a young family who is stressed out and has had enough.

  That's the route I took. "Stepped down" as an elder (which was, by the way, a huge "step up" in life) and 6 months later pretty much quit the borg altogether.

  It's a trend that should start gaining some traction as the 'sheeple' start seeing and feeling the real direction of the borg.

  When did district conventions become regional conventions and why?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think it was gary and heather bottings' book the orwellian world of jehovah's wifnesses that noted the function of the habit of the watchtower organisation of changing organisational terminology periodically.

  congregations became companies and then back to congregations again.

  circuit overseers became circuit servants and then back again.

  It's change for the sake of change IMHO. It's a way of trying to make an archaic religion look like it's doing something, moving forward. It's "New light" from jehober just like j f rutherford received when he changed the name to 'jehober witless'.

  If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  doesn't that throw off the date?.

  *** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.

  in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

  A question I asked of the whole Body of Elders in my congregation some time in the '80's was :

  "Why, if a "Prophetic Year" was 360 days long, were the years fulfilling the prophecy not, likewise, 360 days long ?" (In slightly different words, but essentially your Thread title question)

  Hey Phizzy,

  I had exactly the same question back in the late 60's. I got the same bluster from a brother that I asked.Trying to explain this non-sense to any thinking person is absolutely impossible. I've dubbed it "math-magic" and I now also wonder how I swallowed their bs for so many years.

  The names of the gb's wives are NOT important. After all they are only women! Does the bible give the names of the the apostles wives. NO! Face the facts, if you're a female jw, you are just not important! The gb brothers are so busy supplying "spiritual food" at the proper time (lol), how can they possibly find time for a wife?

  Fortunately we all lived through it and now have a life. On the occasions that I do attend with my wife, I have an ipad so I can check my email, ebay, and the the NFL scores. Still boring though.

  Merry Christmas to all of you too!

  Even though I was a jw for 98% of my life, I always liked the Christmas season because people just seemed to be in a better place mentally and emotionally. It was just a 'warm' time of year and I really like the music (even though we were suppose to hate it). As dubs we were taught to pity the poor worldlings because (christmas) "that was all the had".

  Well they had a sh*t pot more than we had. We had nothing. No fun, no joy, no spirit, no special occasion (oh yea, lol, the Memorial). Poor worldlings only got to celebrate a birth, but us jw's, well we got to celebrate a DEATH. Lucky us!

  Enjoy your families and the spirit of the season even if you don't celebrate the actual holiday!
