  How can elders say how Jehovah feels?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when we look at the total universe imagine a jar of sand.

  just one grain of sand would be our galaxy so we may be able to see our earth with an electron microscope.

  with that in mind, it always made we cringe when at the meetings an elder would say "jehovah has prepared a spiritual banquet for us tonight," or "it makes jehovah happy that we made the effort to attend the meeting tonight.

  In the beginning Man made God

  Is it any wonder that He resembles us so?

  Is it just me or is this weeks CLAM more "cultish" than usual?

  by NikL in

  maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.

  (on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).

  the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.

  Jonah Letter

  dear brothers and sisters,.

  it has come to our attention that many in our ministry are encountering individuals who question the accuracy of the bible on scientific grounds.

  for example, they may ask questions such as, how does a snake talk when it has no vocal chords or mouth and lip muscles?

  You're overlooking the fact that Blue Fairy was active in both instances,

  As Disney has bought the rights to both stories you will be hearing from

  oh so it's jesus fault the spiritual food hasn't been perfect!

  we your governing body are just responsible for serving it!

  think about this people, they are saying it was jesus who told us the end was going to come in 1975. then before the 1914 generation passed away no later than the 1990's.

  My question to you is this:

  When I was a JW I was taught this distinction,

  The Bible and it's writers were INSPIRED,

  Watch Tower writings are not,

  The Bible cannot fail as it is "inspired"

  Watch Tower writings can fail as they are not,

  Governing Body (F&DS) have never claimed to be inspired by Holy Spirit

  But only DIRECTED by Holy Spirit,

  (Btw I believe this distinction to be soley a JW invention)

  So if my memory serves me correctly

  What's new in what was written in the above Watchtower?

  Plausible deniability

  FJR played this hand well in the 1920s

  (did he let EVERYBODY know that "I was an Ass"?)

  After losing almost all members over 1925 he rebounded with Seth Sarim

  in 1929 and membership swelled to unheard of numbers,

  Ah, the loyal devotion of the faithful,

  Fool me twice thrice fourfold....

  Shame on ??
