  I GET TO STUDY WITH RESURRECTED PIRATES, YOU DON'T!

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some saw the picture of the pirate in the wt and laughed...some may have even thought it was inappropriate (all that raping and pillaging!).

  but consider, a pirate is the perfect example of a goal for our young ones to motivate them to look to the paradise and potential studies.

  pirates don't require higher education...no need for our children to idolize astronauts or politicians.

  What if you were DF'd for apostacy, but instead of the expected...

  by respectful_observer in

  this is a hypothethical, so i'm not looking for whether you would ever do this, or "why would you want to subject yourself to this...", but rather, what would happen if some did do this..... .................... you're half of a married jw couple, and you admit to doubts about certain wts teachings and it leads to an eventual disfellowshipping.

  but instead of walking away from the kingdom hall forever, you stay put.

  you faithfully go to every meeting with your spouse.

  Maybe the elders will see that person as "strange" and just pretend he does not exits.

  First mention of "new light" may appear in July 15, 2013 Watchtower

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.

  my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.

  watch this space!.

  False prophets or simply wrong expectations?

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a talk i heard recently, the brother was talking about how jws had certain expectations about the end, acknowledging 1914, 1925, surely before 1935 and 1975, then we learned that it's not in our jurisdiction to know jehovah's timetable.

  then he said, some say that because we made those mistakes, some say jws are false prophets.

  he said that was "simplistic thinking".

  things for jehovah's witnesses to think hard about.. .

  1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.

  that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.

  And what about people that die everyday because don't have even one piece of bread? I guess that's not generosity...
