  11. How can we show our support for the Messianic King? (From book study last night)

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.

  11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!

  reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘how do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?

  Re "Headquarters"

  Just testing my memory here,

  John 4:21-24 says?

  And who is the head of the congregation presumably?

  And Christ is where?

  So where is headquarters?

  Well, in New York State of course!

  Look for a mountain (John 4)

  Lol

  What the "Worldly" media has to say about the proposed Russian ban of JWs

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  interesting to read the reports from around the world.

  i doubt many jws have read any of them.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-government-jehovahs-witnesses-extremist-group-lawsuit-supreme-court-a7634671.html.

  russian authorities threatened to close jehovah’s witnesses administrative centre last march, when they issued a formal warning to the congregation that the “religious association will be subject to liquidation” if it failed to eliminate within two months the violations identified by the government as “extremist”.

  Does anyone at headquarters think that millions of letters are going to

  move the Russian political/judicial machine in their favour? I think not,

  I see this campaign as a way to solidify themselves in an immediate

  "urgent" cause and remind everyone that they are fufilling prophesy by

  being persecuted,

  The question as I see it is: Are they really being persecuted "for

  righteousness sake" or ironically, for being the persecuters of others,

  This teaches critical judgement not only on congregation members

  but on "the world" outside as well,

  After the 'Miracle' Chairs Video, What Pointless Tasks have you seen Assigned?

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sheffield 1980s i think.

  there was a grassy area that needed mowing to put a collapsible baptismal pool on i think.

  there was no mower so they gave a bunch of sisters a pair of scissors each and they went on their knees and snipped away.. only in jehovah's organisation!.

  I was a teenager back in the seventies and an attendant at the convention

  During the sessions all attendants were told to spread out and face the

  audience during Glen Howe(famed JW lawyer)'s talk

  This was to intimidate the man who had called in a threat on Howe's life,

  Now my (silent) question as a teenager was: How were a bunch of

  unarmed men (and boys) supposed to intimidate a man with a high

  powered weapon?

  Well, I suppose we were armed with the resurrection hope lol

  New member + anyone attended/seen the Zone Visit?

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a new member so wanted to say 'hi'.

  i live in the u.k, was born in, fell away as an unbaptised publisher, got baptised in my 30s for reasons i'm retrospectively unsure of, and lost my faith about five years ago around the time of the original a.r.c.

  now, being unable to leave is making me physically, emotionally and mentally ill.. i have been visiting this forum for a couple of years and wanted to post my first message to see if anyone has attended, heard or watched the zone visit broadcast thing happening this month?

  The rationalist in me sees the following:

  Bible prophecy/interpretation is at best a hit or miss proposition

  It might be illustrated by attempts to predict a meteor strike

  If those who predict them are chronically wrong does it mean that they'll

  never be right?

  No

  Even a broken clock is right twice a day

  But I'm not going to live my life by either

  As to those who will be supposedly resurrected

  I wouldn't worry

  As I recall the teaching

  You will be wiped from everyone's memory

  I think that research will help settle your concerns

  Go to jwfacts.com

  1925 and the resurrection of the ancient worthies is a

  good place to start
