  Angry and scared

  by BlackWolf in

  i feel like everything that comes out of my mothers mouth is something negative and cringe worthy.

  all she seems to talk about with me is how terrible and demonic our disfellowshipped relatives are, how horrible the world and holidays are, or how she is so much better and "holier than thou".

  it really makes me sick sometimes.

  by michelle brown.

  jehovah's witnesses use of 2,000-year-old protocols when dealing with abuse complaints has been condemned in a report by the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.. last year, the commission examined the experiences of two abuse survivors within the jehovah's witness organisation.. it also looked at evidence from case files that recorded reports or complaints of abuse by just over 1,000 jehovah's witnesses.

  So, how did the 'beard article' go over yesterday at your congregation?

  by neat blue dog in

  at mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.

  two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.

  but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.

  We had our circuit assembly and they played it really safe. They read exactly what is in the magazine, no additional comments even from the speaker.

  Song 146 - You did it for me

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower 1970 4/1 emphasis the principle that singing at the kingdom hall is part of worship to god and is one of the most beautiful ways they can show this worship to him.. of all the ways in which we can worship and praise jehovah god—by prayer, by public talks, by our field ministry and by our exemplary conduct—one of the most beautiful of them is this literal singing of songs to jehovah’s praise....and, above all, let us pay more than usual attention to the words.

  it is by the words that we worship jehovah god, bringing praise to him.

  as an introduction to song 146, jw org states -jesus considers any act of love and support for his anointed brothers as though it were done for him.

  I missed this post a few months ago. So my first time seeing and hearing these lyrics was this week at the meeting. They played a video of JW's singing it first. They looked like a choir without the robes. I guess there is nothing wrong with that any more. Then the congregation sang it to close out the meeting.

  It really is a self serving song. It takes nerve to redirect worship from Jesus and Jehovah to the GB and make the congregation sing about it. But guess what? It was hit, the friends were humming it even afterwards. I can still hear it in my head.

  "The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

  " "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

  have the many jehovahs witnesses past and present who have lost their lives by refusing blood transfusions due to the prohibition on blood tranfusions by jehovahs witnesses really got the sense of this statement ?.
