  Brother Knorr's Cadillac and other secret perks

  by tim hooper in

  back when i was a wee lad, my dad told me that the brothers in brooklyn had voted to purchase a cadillac motor car for the sole use of the then president, nathan h knorr.

  he'd got this information from the london bethel, him being a chum of the then branch overseer, pryce hughes and his pal ron drage.

  religious leaders of non-profit sects are supposed to take a vow of poverty!.

  The linked site's entry is a poor way at winning over JWs. Big deal...they owned/own a plane.

  FOCUS ON DOCTRINE!!! THEY ASSIST IN THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN (BLOOD ISSUE)!

  See pages 26 and 27 regarding the sheep and goats parable. For a second, I thought they were going to agree with Russells timeline (Sheep and Goats judgement takes place after 1,000 years is over). Was disapointed. It is very obvious that they don't want people to be students of the Bible anymore. "Just listen to us and pray Christ won't kill you" is the message. Gah!!!!

  Matthew 24:36-37

  by lambsbottom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  matthew 24: 36 concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the son, but only the father.

  37 for just as the days of noah were, so the presence (parousia) of the son of man will be.. i had always thought jws took 36 as meaning christ's coming at armageddon (erchomai), after the 1914 presence (parousia).

  however, the greek word in 37 is parousia.

  Matthew 24:
  36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence (parousia) of the Son of man will be.

  I had always thought JWs took 36 as meaning Christ's coming at Armageddon (erchomai), after the 1914 presence (parousia). However, the greek word in 37 is parousia. So, verse 36 is talking about Christ coming at Armageddon? Or, is it talking about the parousia? We were always told the "day" is when Jesus comes to kill all non-jws.

  @ cofty:

  Nice reference!

  So, it looks like Great Crowd (GC) JWs are actually 'piggybacking' on the baptism of the Annointed to get through Armageddon. No wonder JWs are told they have to obey the Annointed without question and their salvation depends on that obedience! I can see changed doctrine eventually being that only the GB are the remaining Annointed.

  What business, then, do great crowd JWs have in getting baptized now? It is certainly not necessary. Unless, they are truly getting baptized into the Annointed (as in, the Annointed is their Jesus - e.g. mediator).

  It makes much more sense, considering all of this, that the separating of the Sheep and Goats is done, not at Armageddon, but after millenial rule is over! Why? Because, according to the WT, the Great Crowd has not been washed clean of sins. They are only "relatively righteous". So, how can they be counted as Sheep if they are not even washed of their sins!

  Remember, the parable of the sheep and the goats says of the Sheep, " but the righteous into eternal life". Again, how could the Great Crowd go into eternal life if they have not been washed clean from the ransom. My impression has always been that the GC would have to stay faithful after Armageddon all the way until the 1,000 year rule was over. Every JW knows that the Sheep are not given eternal life right away. However, remember that WT says the Goats of that parable go immediately into "eternal destruction".

  OMG!

  "Being considered to be without sin in God’s eyes,they would in a

  God."

  So, when does the ransom take effect for the great crowd? I know it takes effect for the annointed when they are baptized and receive holy spirit. it is then they that are proven sinless. i know this isnt so for the great crowd. the great crowd makes it out of the tribulation and have "washed their robes in the blood of the lamb" (Rev. 7). So my question is, when does WT believe the great crowd will have benefits of ransom applied in behalf of their sin? references please!

  I Waited Until My Wedding Night To Lose My Virginity And I Wish I Hadn't...

  by Divergent in

  i found this article interesting & just wanted to share.

  after going through my teenage years trying to be the perfect jw, i realized that trying to live up to the standards imposed on me have been for worse & not for better.

  i was feeling miserable, repressed, unfulfilled, with a great lack of self confidence & self esteem.

  Wah, wah, wah. Buy some lubricant and get over it. Sorry, but thousands of people die every day just from starvation. First-world problems.

  im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.

  im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?

  i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.
