i just dont get it.
the gb moved to patterson and are conducting business from there, right?
they are not printing as much literature as they once were and they are still operating walkill for the magazines...er a ....pamphlets.
It tells me that the GB got the word from jehober that the big A was a long way off. No need to concentrate on preaching but rather on building new earthly possessions.
Literally, hundreds of thousands of hours being spent building not preaching.

recently, several comments have been made in various threads in reference to some of the recent changes to a few of the rules by which jehovah's witnesses must live their lives in unquestioning compliance.
the assertion has been made that these rules are a "relaxing" of previous restrictions.
the suggestion has been made that this somehow indicates a corresponding relaxing or loosening or lessening of the authority which the governing body (gb) holds over the rank and file (r&f) members of the religion.
I'd much rather have questions that can't be answered, than answers that can't be questioned!

i just wondered if the wtbts could legally remove the money from the congregation accounts with out the signees permission.
are the bank accounts deemed society property with the change of realestate ownership into the societies name.
legally could they get away with it if the situation arose , and if not how could they manipulate the situation so they could.
When I first heard of this "new and loving arrangement", I thought wtf? What's next? How soon and how will they ask the rank and file to provide access to their personal bank accounts? Why not ask? After all, having more than 3 months worth of 'necessity' money in the bank is a form of materialism and shows a complete lack of faith in Jehovah, does it not? "Please be assured brothers, Jehovah will provide for your richly." (as he has certainly done for us)
Remember (the fetcha-gramaton) those 5 modern English letters WTBTS (without the vowel sounds) is pronounced Cult!

if so would that not make matthew ch 17 vs 3 [transfiguration] a bit confusing to explain?
i mean, where did they come from?
the grave?
Don't worry, you are not the only one confused. When the gb meet together on Wednesdays, you can bet that those 7 men are not sure what the current wt teachings are. Not humanly possible to keep up with the ever changing wt bulls**t. But---
Isn't better to have questions that can't be answered--than--answers that can't be questioned!

I wonder;
In the ancient Hebrew language there were no vowels, only consonants and-------
YHWH is somehow pronounced Jehovah???
In the modern English language, if there were no vowels, would------
WTBTS be pronounced Cult!!!

painfully reading an article of may 15, 2015 (extra-simplified edition) and again observed this phraseology: the bible does not say, but .... so, did satan hope to tempt her with the luxurious palaces of pharaoh and abimelech?
did satan think that she would betray her husband and even jehovah by marrying one of those kings?
the bible does not say, but it is very likely that the devil would have been overjoyed if sarah had lost the opportunity to become part of the messiahs family line.. .

"for we are walking by faith, not by sight" 2 corinthians 5:7. that's it right there.
don't value the evidence of your own eyes or trust what you can measure and test; no, just have faith.. the frustration is that even when this is pointed out to the devout believer they still don't see the problem.
they still see faith as a virtue and something superior to 'sight'..

I realize that myself and many others were using the word faith to feel good about not wanting to bother looking any further.

so where did god exist before he created the heavens?
So Jesus is god after all. "In the beginning---God created" Colossians chapter 1 says that "all things" in heaven and earth came into existence by means of Jesus.

i have a friend who is still in.
this friend is a partaker, but has serious doubts about the org.
this friend wants to stand up as a man, and wants to call wtbts hq.
I would definitely call them--A Cult!
