What happens when the Governing Body dies off?
by truthseeker inmost of the gb members are in their 80s and 90s.
with the passing of milton henschel (82), one wonders if they'll all live to be nearly 100, like freddy franz.. so let's take a theoretical look into the future, 11 years from now.. the year is 2014. the last gb member dies.
the faithful and discreet slave class are no longer in existence.

"Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name and expel demons in your name?"
by truthseeker ini would like to know if anyone can help me with this question.
presumably in the last days when jesus arrives as judge and executioner, he says the famous scripture, "many will say to me in that day, lord, lord, did we not prophesy in your name and expel demons in your name and perform many powerful works in your name?
and then i will confess to them, 'i never knew you, get away from me you workers of lawlessness'".

Did the 7 congregations in Revelation apply Jesus' counsel?
by truthseeker indoes evidence exist, whether eye witness accounts or other means that the seven congregations jesus admonished accepted his counsel and repented?
were there only 7 congregations at the time, after 65 years of preaching?
(john presumably wrote revelation in the year 98 ad).

Why do elders step down when their children are disfellowshipped?
by truthseeker inhi everyone, a question that has been on my mind for a while.. if jehovah appoints the elders, why is it that when one of their kids is disfellowshipped some of them step down as an elder?.
does jehovah dis-appoint them?
is this a scriptual thing?

Does having chapters and verses in the Bible obscure the Bible's message?
by truthseeker ini was just thinking to myself the other day, why were chapters and verses in the bible, but precious few other books?
most people would say to make it easier to read, easier to locate "scriptures".
i mean, when you write a letter to a friend, do you break it down into chapters and verses?

Why does the Society lie about not soliciting funds from door to door?
by truthseeker inrecently, it has been said that jw's do not solicit money going door to door.
if this is the case, then why are the following points going contrary to what the 'official line is' ?.
1-the co counselled the congregation recently saying that 'not enough people were mentioning the donation arrangement'.. 2-we are 'told' to mention the donation arrangement every time there is a presentation on 'what to say about the magazines'.

Jesus invited 12 - The Society invites the whole world
by truthseeker induring his 3 1/2 hears of 'field service' jesus made hundreds, perhaps thousands of disciples.
amongst them, his closest associates, known as apostles numbered 12, and to these jesus gave special attention and consideration.. the 12 apostles, including judas iscariot, had the privilege of attending jesus' last supper, and it is here that jesus instituted the memorial of his death.. "keep doing this in remembrance of me".
the question is, why are 16,000,000 people doing it today?
