Could the allowance of blood fractions be curtailing the growth of the religion?

so, imagine that you're just a regular joe who's not familiar with the witnesses and is looking for the answers to life, the universe, and everything.

you hear a knock at your door.

before long, you are studying with a jehovah's witness.

The WTBTS is morphing into something else. (???????) Not exactly sure what. Doctrines are changing. Long held beliefs are being tossed out and replace with 'overlapping' interpretations. This is certainly not the religion it was just 25 years ago. JW. org is now the 'brand' name. Thank god (or whoever) for all these changes! This has certainly awakened awareness in a great many long time jw's, me included. (60 years a jw)

The total hiprocracy of the wtbts is now very clear to us and for that we should all be thankful. At least we now have "fractions" of truth to help guide us on our journey.

What Terry said!

Sometimes, Terry, you seem a little loooong in your posts, BUT I enjoy every one of them. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Not too many of them around anymore.

Is this why the book is grey?
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the 2014 revised edition of "what does the bible really teach?

" uses the text of the 2013 nwt.

i therefore assume this is the reason for the grey colour of the "bible teach" book.. examples of the adjustments appear at pages 216 and 217 of the book:.

JF Rutherfraud would be very dissapointed at the use of only one drab color. In fact, he might have made it a df'ing offence. I'm sure he could have found some obscure scripture to twist, I mean base a df'ing on.

priorities

is it just me or is the focus on building projects.

i read through the study for this weekend and all of the focus was on new building construction.

i was waiting for them to talk about the ministry, and it was in there, but not as the main priority.. i am amazed after visiting an old congregation of mine back in new england just how few (none) of the publishers had helped out on the new headquarters.

OTWO,

Good observation about the franchising of Kingdom Halls. The "new arrangement" of paying forever on the kh, i.e. never really paying off the mortage on a kh and the outrageous 'rent' that is charged for the circuit assemblies at the Assembly Hall makes cents (dollars). The money does seem to be drying up though.

The state of New York is to JW's like the state of Utah is to Mormons. In fact, aren't JW's looking more and more like the Mormons each year? But then, most cults look the same.

One of the biggest priorities for the wtbts is covering their asses on past and present dumb ass teachings. Seems like every new regime of gb members needs to do damage control for the previous regime's failed teachings/predictions. Now that the internet has opened the 'flood gates of heaven' with ttatt, they cannot stop the avalanche of information available in the convience to one's own home at the click of one's mouse.

Another big priority is making money now that the publishing empire is winding down. Yes, real estate will generate income. But how many kh's and assembly halls can they build with slave labor and sell?

Check out this great article on the fall of all "RELIGIONS IN AMERICA."

"Marry only in the Lord" and "Do not become unevenly yoked with an unbeliever" are scriptural COMMANDS, not suggestions! Does anyone get df'ed for breaking these COMMANDS? Nope! Ever wonder why?

Me too!

local needs "are you spiritually grown up?"
by sylvlef in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
yesterday local needs was this theme.

are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.

at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?
eyeuse2badub

Did the "local needs" talk also warn the 'young sisters' not to marry anyone 23 or older who is not a MS. Remember what 'tight pants Tony', a brother of Christ, (yea right) told the entire worldwide brotherhood. His warning must be heeded.

The apostle Paul warned; "Marry only in the Lord" but the apostle Tony "tight pants" added to Paul's warning; "marry only in the Lord if he's a MS"

just sayin'!
