Holy spirit bears witness with them....
by The Scotsman inhowdy folks.
had a chat the other day with an elder who lnows jws all over the world and he was telling me that in a u.s. cong a sister has just decided she is one of the 144000 - she is 41 years old.
in the same cong a brother aged 55 has recently decided he is one of the immortals as well.. they both claim that the holy spirit has bore witness to them.. what do you think such ones are actually feeling?

What do you think such ones are actually feeling? I do not doubt they are feeling something inside that is making them "think" they are anointed.
Is it all in the mind??

Hi folks.
I just have to say that some topics on this board are real shockers and truly enlightening. I am totally dumn struck by the info here.
This thread, for me, is one of the most damning threads against the org I have ever read, oh if only rank and file JWs could read some of this stuff.
The GB are held in such high esteem by the masses and yet look at what is really going on.
Thanks for posting it.

Keep on the Watch brochure - WT back track
by The Scotsman inhello folks.
interesting move from the org regarding the january offer of the keep on the watch brochure being cancelled.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/147814/1.ashx.
((if its true that is)).

NBC did a news item on the child molestation cases involving JWs & the WTBTS.
The org issued a statement on there media website straight after it was aired.
The connection is that on page 3 of the Keep on the Watch brochure it mentions child molestation, but in a finger pointing way at other religions.
Its just a guess but that could be the reason for the change in offer for the month in January.

This is a first for me - never have I seen them do this. ((If its true that is))
Not a huge deal really, just unusual.
Must be something to do with the NBC news coverage last week.

I was an elder until recently - my advice - do not do it. Its alot more work and I also agree with others that it is dishonest.

Anointed looking a bit younger - Feb 15th WT
by The Scotsman inbeen a wee while since i have been here, holidays and stuff.. anyway, i received the new feb 15th wt last night, the one with the generation change.
they have inserted an image that is meant to represent the anointed class, it is not like the usual ones.
generally these pics would have them with gray hair looking very old, but this image "in my opinion" seems to show them a bit younger.

This would make sense I suppose with the new understanding.
I was also very impressed how the org managed to sneak in this new point, a footnote at the bottom of the page, not the slightest reference to the 1995 article.

Well I finally resigned as an elder - Phew.
by The Scotsman inthats right, about 2 weeks ago i confronted the po and told him i just could not do it anymore.. i genuinely have been under alot of pressure recently with my work so i used this as the pitch.
he was not happy but i received little resistance, which suited me.
i handed him my letter last week before i went on holiday.. i have to say it is a great weight off my shoulders, no book study, meetings for ministry, talks, public talks etc etc.. i will no doubt be the subject of local congregation gossip!
