  Don't you just love LITERATURE truths?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as jw's we swallowed such concoctions for years - without a single scripture provided as proof!.

  w71 12/15 p. 759 - "apparently, the apostle peter was the chairman of the governing body on the festival day of pentecost of 33 c.e., and the disciple james, the half brother of jesus christ, was the chairman at a later date, according to the account in acts of apostles.

  from this, and from what historical evidence there is available, the chairmanship of the governing body rotated.".

  Boogerman, just try to find "governing body" in the bible, too. That quote was from 1971 when the WTS formed a new version of the "Governing body," Used to be the members on the board of directors. I forgot that point. Also the circuit overseer was viewed as one of the elders, not above them. Also, "governing body" was not capitalized until WT 12/15/1971 p.755

  • A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation

    ...

    It was as to what the relationship is between the Board of Directors of the Society as a legal corporation and the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Christian witnesses.

  Depression and big pharma drugs

  i'm going to drop a bomb shell here for all you who think you know something about depression.

  most depression cases are being cause by the food and drug administration.

  they are putting things in certain foods that they know will affect certain people especially those who have gluten problems.

  The lithium carbonate in medication is not the same as the lithuim in electronics. Lithium is the same element in both cases, but it is involved in different chemical compounds. In a lithium battery the lithium is part of lithium cobalt oxide, one lithium atom, one cobalt, and two oxygen. In the medication it is lithium carbonate, which is two lithium atoms, one carbon, and three oxygen. Atoms behave very differently when in different chemical compounds so while the atom is the same they are very different things.

  Her Handbag Told Her to Stop Preaching

  ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

  forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

  I always felt that some jws that went on and on how the demons were attacking them, that why they thought their god could not protect them from that? That usually stopped them ranting around me. So many of them were on the fringes of the jw group, felt left out and needed attention, they thought this would get them attention, :( I will tell an experience of how one circuit overseer, tried to deal with one sister's belief that she demanded that others believe, that buying anything at a garage sale was a bad thing, it might be demonized and she counseled others that it was wrong for "them" to do it. He asked once at the meeting, based on that, could you buy a used car, maybe the previous owner was demonized, or even a new car, because a demonized person might have helped it be assembled? Well, that shut that down in that congregation on that point.

  so from the get go in study article 18 and the theme :"imitate the faithful angels" we read the following questionable statement in paragraph 1: "when jehovah drew you to the truth, he invited you into a diverse and loving family of worshippers, which includes millions of faithful angels.

  When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...

  by Ron.W. in

  where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.

  it's been around as long as i can remember.

  is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

  Maybe the WTS got it from this scripture with their own slant that the WTS is the only true religion: 3 John 4 "No greater joy do I have than this: that I should hear that my children go on walking in the truth RNWT

  Other quotes:
  "[A mature christian] does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding. Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and "the faithful and discreet slave." Watchtower 2001 Aug 1 p.14
