  KM in 1974 praising people for selling all their stuff and pioneering?

  by ithinkisee in

  someone on this site mentioned they got a km off ebay that praised those that sold all their belongings and preached.. does anyone know which km that was?.

  interesting, when going through the society's cd-rom i noticed that the drama for the district convention in 1975 was about noah's ark and was something along the lines of "there's still time left!

  " (i'm paraphrasing).. -dm

  The evidence is clear that Jehovah has used and is continuing to use his one organization, with "the faithful and discreet slave" taking the lead.

  I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but logic tells me that Jehovah CANNOT be using this Organisation, as to mislead so many would be a Sin.

  anyone who uses satalite tv to get information is shunned because they could be getting information from Satan. And therefore misled.

  WOW - Satan has his own TV station?

  a shameless spin-off of http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/85172/1.ashx.

  he's the one who couldn't keep his pants zipped (except when it came to diana).

  Nope stillajwexelder - Monarchs have a choice (Queen Victoria's name was Alexandrina Victoria) and Charles Philip Arthur George has chosen to be King George and not King Charles (well, that's what he said in an interview a few years ago).

  Question for Former Elders (Current ones too..we know you are here)

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to get some of your thoughts.. how long after you were appointed an elder did it start to dawn on you that this was not the "truth"?

  was being an elder a catalyst to that realization at all?

  Jules, reading your posting really upset me......but please don't say that your husband wasn't shown love, because I for one can see that YOU showed him a lot. Dan sounded like a wonderful man, who had a genuine love for people, without prejudice. He gave of HIMSELF to those who needed help and ''shepherding'', regardless of the petty rules of the Organisation. That's a rare quality.
