  I use to drink after the meetings, never thought about before. A great idea, spirits before

  the meeting in order to give a spiritual talk or to get in the mood spiritually.

  Obey the Superior Authorities God says / God says Satan is controlling the Superior Authorities.?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  romans 13 : 1-4 clearly states that the superior authorities are an arrangement from god , defy them and you are working against the arrangement of god at your own peril.. christians are to be obedient to the superior authorities ,"for their is no authority except by god , the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by god .therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ".

  matt.

  4 :8-10 shows that all the kingdoms and governments are under satan`s control , jesus never disputed that claim .

  Not only from both sides of their mouth but also from the lower part of their extremities.

  okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

  and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

  he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

  How does he know ???? So stupid if I was a JW I would think, what could they be criticizing

  about the truth. And researching on line is a dead give away. LOL

  The Forgotten Ones

  just curious...is anyone hearing the older/infirm ones speaking out to others on how they are being treated in the congregation?

  without giving anything away, i have spoken to so many older ones (some are sickly or can't drive in the evening or can't drive at all) who can't make it to all the meetings, assemblies, etc., that are complaining on how they are being treated by the more righteous ones in the hall.

  the ones i have spoken to make the comment that it seems to be the younger elders that have less empathy and concern for these ones.

  A sister who contact my family in the 60's (door work), my mother first, thank God my mom said

  no thanks to the truth. Well she was able to get to my sister and her husband, then me(when I got married) and

  my brother. So this sister became part of our family. As years past and the sister aged, no husband

  and 1975 past she was taken in by my sister's family. For over 15 years I never heard her speak of her family.

  My ex sometimes would take her to the KH, when my sister was unable to do so. So she live with my sister and

  her husband and their 4 kids until she passed.

  Well to our surprise when she became ill she contact her son who lived in England. He came to visit her and went back to England, and that was it. I don't believe he came to her funeral.

  I wrote something on this in the past, about my ex neighbor (JW). He was moved to a nursing

  home and no family members in the area. We were neighbors for 10 years and I never told him I

  was JW. We had some interesting discussions, lol.

  Once or twice a month two elderly sisters come by to drop of the mags. I ask him why he

  didn't receive more visit from the friends from the KH. He told me there are so many new ones that

  don't know him, and they are so busy with the preaching work.

  His sister(his only living family member) who was never a JW and live up north calls me to check on him.

  An apostate checking on his health.

  blondie" Worldly relatives should take care of them", Oh sure after you have sh---t on them for years.

  "You wouldn't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name, would you?"

  Can one live a life free from reproach? When Jacob's wife Rachael couldn't conceive children,

  she became a reproach to those who knew her. To be childless was thought to be under a curse

  from God. Gen. 30:22-24.

  So are you a worm? Psalm 22:6 "I'am a worm a reproach of men". "All those who see me ridicule me.

  They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying. He trusted in the GB. let them rescue him.

  Let the GB deliver him, since He delights in them"

  OK not exactly what Psalm say, but close.

  Didn't people run in those days? Just think 26 miles under 3 hrs ( 2 hrs 11min). OK if moses had sent out

  a few runners ahead of of the crowd to scout for water, a nice place to rest it would have been a nice and

  quick trip. And 26 miles in under 3 hrs, hell 26 miles in 10 days they would damn near be at the

  borders of the promise land. The women are runner under 3 hrs.

  I guess the Israelites didn't participate in sports, no Olympian in the group.

  Anyway have a nice Valentine day, you will not go to hell if you buy a box of sweets for your love one. LOL

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  In 2040, we never said that (overlapping G.) some friends went beyond what was written.

  But believe us today, it will come 2045, you can count on it.

  WE must keep this in mind, Methuselah was 187 years old when he begot Lamech and he lived

  to 969 years old, that is a hell of a generation, 782 years.
