  Loved the way Jackson looked at his fancy wrist watch to check the time when the judge was framing a question. What does that indicate regarding body language? I am no expert but that seems extremely rude and shows serious disrespect towards the person speaking. It says, "i do not have time for this shite, I have better things to do"

  The Royal Commission and Watchtower - A game changer

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had finished watching all the videos on the royal commission's investigation of jehovah's witnesses (yes, i know more videos are being released).

  i am still processing the information of everything that has emerged.

  i do not plan to cover it all here, but i would like to point out that it is patently obvious that some of the wt representatives provided misleading information.

  New Congregation Position Soon? ELDERESS?

  by 7Starz in

  2. entertainment

  i just listened to most of geoffrey jackson's royal commission testimony and i have to say i really enjoyed the multiple times he had to state he would get back to them and would research their questions.. the royal commission was asking if policy could be changed to have women serve on a committee to decide the case and then that bodies decision be brought to the elders to decide whether to show mercy or to disfellowship and individual.

  three times the judge had to ask mr. jackson to answer his question.. it was amazing how jackson could not find a scripture to show his honor that women were prohibited to serve as elders.

  he could only support that men are appointed as elders.. hmm... i've never been a member of the governing body with all their years of so called spiritual training, but even i remember deborah the prophetess, when the judge asked jackson if women could serve as a judge.. i was so hoping that the judge or mr. stewart would refer to deborah.

  Not going to happen. GB will invoke Revelation chapter 2:

  “‘Nevertheless, I do hold this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezʹe·bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit sexual immorality"

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  The monthly broadcast as an opportunity to wake up

  by paradisebeauty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking that maybe the monthly broadcasts are a occasion for some jw's to wake up.

  before those broadcasts they probably imagined that the gobgoverning y members are some very special peopleand that you see in their behavior and words that they are "chosen".

  but now all jw's can see them for who they really are: average men, some full of themselves, some ridiculous, some just normal men with nothing special.

  My thought is, that the GB selects a theme for the monthly broadcast and connects it with "send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".

  Theme-mercy

  Application-" send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".

  Theme-persecution

  Application-" send monetary contributions, spend more time in the ministry".

  New Britian Branch set to open Dec. 31, 2019?

  by JustVisting in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the august jw broadcast the new britian branch is scheduled to open by december 31, 2019 and is currently the 2nd largest construction project (assuming warwick is the largest).

  are the current facilities that spread out that a more centalized location the main reason for acquiring and developing an 85 acre site?

  also, with the end looming on the horizon, what message does that send regarding making long-term plans?

  Comments, please from those who live in the UK or are familiar with London Bethel. The property in question is in Chelmsford. What kind of area is this? Judging from the broadcast it seems very barren, with few trees (is this due to nuclear or chemical waste deposits?)

  Angel of the True God

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i usually open posts such as this one with disclaimer for the atheists/agnostics out there.

  i respect your position and what i tried to do in posts like this one is discuss the bible, wether you believe the stories or not.. i believe it is well known that in jw doctrine it is thought that no one has ever seen god.

  this teaching is also supplemented by the accounts of moises, where jehovah told him that no one can see him and yet live to tell the tale.. i, however, was always puzzled by some of the grammar in the bible where it seems to imply that god appeared to people.

  I believe the WT says that Moses was in the presence of an angel not the Almighty himself on that occasion. Remember, the WT scholars will do the "heavy lifting" with regards to bible research. So do not waste precious time with such questions.

  What is true love video

  so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.

  a few observations:.

  1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

  Morph, I noticed that the "worldly" normal guy was more of a self-starter than his boss. At one point normal guy asks his boss if he is prepared to do what it takes to have a successful business. At which point Brother Divided answers with a half-hearted "yes", while his eyes look up and to the sky- he is thinking how running a profitable enterprise conflicts with meetings, service, bible studies, family worship, elders meetings, hall maintenance, etc., etc.
