Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?

by Marvin Shilmer in

this question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.

i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.

a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!

Wow! I am amazed at the witness provided here. There is no more firm evidence than this. These JWs here have provided new light and understanding on what Mr Jackson really meant. There is no need for factual and simple understanding. God never meant to have ignorants in the midst. If you can not understand this riddle you are not worthy of living.

Oh Wait... the bible does say that your speech should be easy to understand, doesn't it? The bible does say that people were perplexed as this apostles were to be common people, right?

Or may be it is just that Einstein's basic relativity applied here as well and he didn't know it. See, even the dictionary meaning of a word changes with your perspective doesn't it?

Do we have consensus that Mr Jackson was wearing a gold Apple Watch?

by StarTrekAngel in

i mean, we have discussed mr morris' "rolex" but many also pointed out to the potential for a knock-out.

i don't think there are apple watch knock outs out there, are they?

StarTrekAngel

There is only one Gold edition watch. The others are either gray or silver color. Is either a gold apple watch or is a knock off. Has anyone seen any knock off?

Life after the witnesses, friends, faith etc

hi everyone, this is my first post so go easy on me :) i have been a witness all of my life (i'm 37) and truly believed it until 3 years ago.

my husband and i had become spiritually weak and over time i began to question more and more until i came to the conclusion that the witnesses were not the true religion but just one of many religions and that if god is there then there are many paths to get to him.

anyway, i've battled with keeping going as my husband still believed and i didn't want to be in a divided household as we have a young daughter and thought it would be very confusing for her (and us).

The only thing I disagree here is faith. Blind faith can be defined as believing something without proof. In my own awakening process, I have come to realize that God does not demand blind faith. The definition of faith in the gospels talks about expectations for the future but the rest of the bible shows that such expectation does account for the positive experiences of the past. Is sort of like a spiritual credit score in my view. Credit score for God that is, not you.

i made my sister cry :(

so lately i've felt so frustrated and overwhelmed that i had to tell someone how i felt.

my parents were gone so i decided to talk to my sister.

we've always been close so i thought i could trust her because we have talked about it before.

Also, your first priority should be to calm her down. She is programmed to give you out. The slightest feeling of guilt and she will.

Well, I guess I assumed that no JW would ever conceive that the WT paid for the watch. Most likely it was donated or a gift from a wealthy relative. Still a problem though. There is nothing humble about such display. First and foremost, I was trying to point out, for those that have brought this issue up before, that in the case of Morris, you could say it was a rolex knock out. In this case, does such explanation hold ground? Exhibit A.

Second, donated or not, the FDS, the leader of 8 million of JWs, can not go around stumbling others that may not be aware of how they get their perks. How would a victim of child abuse feel when he or she sees this? Is that giving a good witness to the world? No, it actually gives synergy to the poor witness he gave to the Royal Comission.

Ashley Madison hack data dump on the net

by MaybeSo in

some jws will be on the list?

would you bring it up if you saw someone you know in there?

in the meantime, i'll be back... got to see if my credit card has been opened longer than i've been married to say it was back when i was single.

StarTrekAngel

No need to look at that list in my case. One of the elders in my cong follows an 18 year old pornstar in facebook, in his well know by everyone public profile.

I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

by StarTrekAngel in

i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

i think is a good one to analyze.

StarTrekAngel

LOL. Well, we may end up having to mark the Watchtower machinery with blood so that they will be spared. After that, the birds will begin eating the corpses and will poop a highly efficient manure that can be diluted with water and will turn into fuel.

Never mind.. answers to questions taken out of context will be ignored. I get it.

We are actually talking about the natural aspect of the world, not the socio-economic. I definitely agree with you. The world isn't fair in that aspect. My point was to show that the same analogy that is used to prove the need for organization can be used to show that the WT version paradise does not go in accord with the perceived diversity of God's creation.
