  in a talk on the tms this week about abiathar, the brother said pointed out he was a high priest, equivalent to what a governing body member is today!.

  so, no, you're not imagining it.

  christ is not their high priest.

  It wasn't too much of a stretch to go from this:

  ***

  w52 2/1 p. 79 par. 10 Jehovah’s Theocratic Organization Today ***

  God interprets and teaches, through Christ the Chief Servant, who in turn uses the discreet slave as the visible channel, the visible theocratic organization. David approached God through the priestly organization represented by Abiathar, who had the ephod; and a servant of today must likewise look to God’s visible organization for spiritual food that is timely and for directions in Kingdom service.

  I heard more about satan in one week at the kingdom hall than I have in the 10 years I have been attending a real church.

  JW's are obssessed with satan, demunz, the boogey man and Smurfs.

  i recently became aware of the new light.

  please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't this new light concerning 1914 means that the wt have been preaching the wrong doctrine for decades?

  How many doctrines that the Watchtower has been preaching for years have NOT been proven wrong by the passage of time?

  has anyone ever thought of creating a jw sitcom?

  i mean, there's enough humor and drama in jw culture to keep audiences entertained for multiple seasons.

  we have judicial committees, c.o.

  it sells marvel comics.

  You are having flashbacks to the time when you hawked Watchtower comic books.

  Those flashbacks will continue until you throw away your collection of Spidey comics.

  They are demonized. At least that's what the Watchtower comic book says about them.

  What Can An Incorporated Congregation Of Jehovah Witnesses Do To Keep Ownership Of Their Kingdom And Not Let The Watchtower Corporation Sell It Off To Pay Child Molestation Lawsuits?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  what's your ideas?.

  is their some loophole in the very structured bylaws of an incorporated congregation of jehovah's witnesses that will allow them to retain property rights and avoid a hostile take over by the mother corporation controled by the governing body aka faithful and discreet slave entity?.

  What is wrong with just letting the Watchtower Society have the kingdom hall and all the awake Jehovah's Witnesses walk out the door for the last time.

  Pretty soon the only Jehovah's Witnesses left in the kingdom halls will be the genuine hard core worshippers of the Governing Body.

  Did You Ever Learn Anything From The Meetings?

  i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

  before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

  the meetings were pretty interesting.
