  Had a strange moment last night.

  by thedog1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my line of work i have to deal with a lot of different people each day in a teaching capacity.

  sometimes, with adults that i teach, we have some informal discussions not directly related to the subject being taught, but still important as far as developing a friendly relationship in the classroom.

  anyway, yesterday i noticed that in one class the students had been given a little religious calendar in a diary form, quite a popular thing for people to do in the country i live in.

  What a way to expose them. Their mental gymnastics ties them in knots.

  They usually just resort to "you should make that a matter of prayer", "wait on Jehovah", or some comment on "progressive truth" (as if truth moves).

  lol thanks for sharing and welcome

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

  12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

  15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  This is one thread well worth the time it took you to write

  and for me to read

  .

  Thanks

  I ditto wasblind's comment above.

  This should be personal for all active Jehovah's Witnesses. The GB will let your mate, child, friend, or you die instead of admit they are wrong on this otherwise relatively insignificant doctrine. They even go as far as to make it a test of faith. The sad thing is - it is a test of your faith in them - not God.

  The GB's Obsession with the Catholics

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the gb for some reason is completely fixated on the roman catholic church (rcc).

  they should just say that the rcc is babylon the great and get it over with.. the "world empire of false religion" ??

  how often do they talk about muslims?

  The "World Empire of False Religion" ?? Really?

  How often do they talk about Muslims? (over 1.5 billion people) How often to they talk about Hindus? (over 1 billion people) Uhh... like never.

  It's strange... I just wonder where all the venom toward Catholics is coming from. If JW's are supposed to be the one true religion on earth, then why not have the same vitriol toward these other faiths? Are they not also leading people astray from the "faithful and discreet slave"?

  Like with this whole overreaction to the UN making some statements about the RCC and child abuse. (I was just at a Witness gathering and the subject came up - the whole room was engrossed in a discussion about how "here it is" "this could be how it all starts" blah blah)

  If that story was about Muslims, the witnesses wouldn't have even noticed.

  So here's my question: Why the RCC fixation?

  Do you think it is a competition thing? Are they bashing their biggest Christian competitor? Like one car dealer bashing the other?

  Or is it jealousy over their power and wealth? We do know that the GB love them some power and wealth...

  New congregation accounting system

  by thedog1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure i read a thread here about the new congregation accounting procedures.

  i ask because i handle the accounts in our cong and in our part of the world the new accounting system has just arrived whereby local congs do not have their own account any longer, but all funds outside of basic monthly costs is forwarded to an account controlled by the org.

  this is causing huge confusion in our cong as we have to work out how much we need to keep back for monthly costs and the new idea is that you send all your extra cash to the org and if you need it back you can ask for it but we don't know how easy or hard it would be to do that.

  Good Lord

  I'm still stuck in as an elder in the US and we have nothing like that over here yet.

  Wouldn't surprise me though. The cult control knows no bounds.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the jw crazy new light, they must now believe that only 20-30 men in the whole history of mankind fill that role.

  rutherford would be first, then knorr.

  after them there were what eighteen on the gb?

  No I totally get it Sherry.

  These guys think they're so special that God's Son, Jesus Christ, second most powerful person in the universe sat his apostles down to tell them about a couple dozen men in Brooklyn that would show up in 2000 years or so.

  That's not far-fetched at all.

  How the WT would look if written in 1st person: SO DISGUSTING

  by Antioch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how would the watchtower of july 15th read if the watchtower was written in 1st person from the ones allegedly preparing an dispensing spiritual food (ie the watchtower)?

  why is it written by a faceless 3rd person telling readers what to think about the people who are allegedly dispensing the very material i'm reading?

  i was reading the july 15th article and laughed at the ridiculousness of it all.. .
