When a "sister" reacts like that its because she can't handle the pressures of being a Theocratic wife. Dress the kids, throw them in the car, make sure they have thier magazine and books highlighted properly, make dinnner, pioneer, and orally please her elder husband and live with the guilt of that. Of course she will snap at little Caleb, she's a wreck.

A new lesson from Caleb's mom...
by cedars in...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".
http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.
the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .

GB not recognized as such till 1944, is this the cutoff for F&DS?
by Wasanelder Once inok so this is from the w71 12/15 p. 757 a governing body as different from a legal corporation.
governing body.
according to the apostolic example of the first century c.e., these dedicated, baptized christians known today as jehovahs witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward.

GOVERNING BODY
According to the apostolic example of the first century C.E., these dedicated, baptized Christians known today as Jehovah’s witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward. This governing body has through the years been associated with the publishers of the Watch Tower magazine and the Board of Directors of the legal religious corporation now known as Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. According to Pennsylvania law, this corporation must hold annual corporation meetings at its registered offices in Pittsburgh, Pa., or elsewhere as duly voted upon, and must elect directors to fill the vacancies of those whose three-year term of office is expiring, and also to transact all necessary obligations. From among the full board of seven directors, all of whom are dedicated, baptized, spirit-anointed Christians, the officers of the Society must be elected.
Are we to disregard anything taught by the pre-1944 GB as not from the F&DS? Just wondering. Your thoughts?

Awkward moment at the WT study today
by FadeToBlack inwhen we got to paragraphs 10,11 with the reference to the box at the top of the page - is your teaching up-to-date?
the conductor asked for an explanation of what the current 'bible truth' was.
for the first one, 'this generation (matt 24:34) absolutely nobody raised their hand!

I looked at the magazine from yesterdays study and the references and the new July update, no difference, Don't wade into any JW's with this one its a pile of steaming poop. It has been wrongly identified by the person who started this thread. There are plenty of other thoughts that can be raised by this. Such as: The quote in the magazine says there was no FDS until the "presence" began in 1914. SO, is Russell of the FDS before 1914? Can't be. But was he after 1914? If he was afterwards, why did he continue to teach wrong things afterwards, such as 1874 as the presence start? Did Rutherford start the FDS? If so why did he say that the Holy Spirit no longer provided new understandings, angels did? Was he denying the source? How was that direction from the Holy Spirit? Why did he say in regards to the teaching of 1925 as the year for Armageddon, "I made and ass out of my self on that!" if it was a group of men acting as the FDS? And why does his name alone appear as author of the books published if it was a group of men?
Lots to think about.

2014 means "LUCY, you've got some splainin' to do" for Jehovah's Witnesses
by Terry innext year the watchtower society will be forced by world events (i.e.
no armageddon yet) to confront a full century of christ's presence.
with nothing to show for it!.

But Terry, you have missed the point. Russell wasn't one of the Faithful and Discrete Slave Class so nothing he taught matters. End of discussion. All your work means nothing now, talk about taking the wind out of apostate sails! They are freekin geniuses!

And that's why she hurts the cult gaining influence on the non jws in the family. Tell her, You Go Girl!
Go to a place your ex uncle loved and enjoy it in his honor.

by likeabird inlet's have a bit of a laugh.. .

One memorial held at an Assembly Hall had a brother in his late 80's give thanks over the bread. Good thing it was unleavend. It was a nearly 15 minute epic. I swear the oldsters were sitting down from exhaustion. It was about the last one I atteneded.

Here's the basic rundown:
Ok so little JW (21 going on 15) decides to get a job with a computer firm. Leaves family construction company to do so. In time moves out to live with a "Spiritual Loser" and a worldly guy. Little JW's older brother berates and cajoles him for his weakness. The mother is freekin Edith Bunker, airhead and slave to Brother Archie milktoast in this version. Little JW goes to a party with JW Spiritual Loser and they drink too much. Loser drives the car, runs a red light and then speeds away from the cop trying to pull him over. He smahes the car, both are arrested, then little JW is released. He has no one to pick him up and ends up at his worldly roommate's girlfriends place. A little wine, a little coziness, then its fade to black, he gets some action and ends up on the street weeping all night. Comes home, open arms. Boo hoo Jehovah forgive me, I done got sexy.
Ok is it just me or how many times does a person's room mate get drunk, run from the cops and wreck the car with the owner in it? Ok it may have happened I'm sure, but it this the norm? Isn't it the warped view of some very disturbed religious zeaots? Hell I"m in my fifties and have never met anyone this has happened to. I never had a girl try to bed me so quickly as this blonde he was with. The GB has a warped view of the world. They dont realize that as many good JW girls would do that as there are "worldy" girls.
Did you see this epic? if so please comment!
