  April 2014 WT is up, more attacks on career and unbelieving family!

  here are some highlights from the magazine.

  the first article, "imitate the faith of moses", teaches how moses didn't remain in pharohs court, they then skillfully spin getting a decent paying job and career as equaling "enjoyment of sin", and how those who have "enjoyment of sin" will die at armageddon with everyone else who enjoys their job.

  here are some quotes from the article.... "when tempted to engage in sinful conduct, ask, what future do i want for myself?....

  Thanks Blondie.

  Intereting: So even if the Genesis account conveys the impression that God spoke directly to solitary Adam..

  "Later they heard the voice of Jehovah God as he was walking in the garden about the breezy part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the face of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden." - Genesis 3:8.

  I don't see anything that "conveys the impression. Is plain and simple: The voice of Jehovah God.

  Many JW's were slaughtered in jehovahs (ironic) name and Watchtower white washed the issue until 1996 when they did a tiny apology in an article, to paraphrase they said "We were not referring to all Jews" etc etc.

  Snare, is there a link to see this?

  Here's the letter:

  Re: Age requirements for assisting temporarily with construction projects at Bethel

  Dear Brothers:

  We are writing to inform you of adjustments to the maximum age for those applying to assist temporarily with large construction projects at Bethel. Effective immediately, the follow- ing adjustments have been made.

  Temporary volunteers and part-time commuters: Those over the age of 55 may now ap- ply as temporary volunteers or part-time commuters in connection with large construction projects at Bethel.

  Temporary Bethel family members and full-time commuters: To further assist with staffing needs during large construction projects at Bethel, skilled brothers and sisters who are over the age of 35 may now apply to serve for one year or more as temporary Bethel family members or full-time commuters.

  Please note that the minimum age requirement for all forms of regular and temporary Bethel service remains at 19. While the maximum age limit has been adjusted, those who apply should be baptized at least one year and be in good spiritual, physical, moral, and emotional health. In addition, they should be U.S. citizens, legal U.S. residents, or beneficiaries of the De- ferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Anyone in the DACA program should identify himself as such in the section of the application that asks about one’s citizenship or res i- dency. He should also include a copy of his Employment Authorization Card.

  We are confident that these adjustments will further contribute to the advancement of the Kingdom work in connection with the large-scale construction projects taking place at world headquarters and the U.S. branch facilities. — Matt. 6:33.

  Please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes. Your brothers,

  Whatever.

  Proof the anointed aren't being resurrected yet.....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the society teaches that since around 1919 the anointed who have died and do die, are resurrected as spirit creatures.

  the only one to be resurrected as a spirit that is documented in the bible is jesus.

  when jesus was resurrected, did he appear to his disciples yet his body was still buried?

  This is from Genesis' Bible Highlights:

  WT says:

  3:8—Did Jehovah God speak to Adam directly? The Bible reveals that when God spoke to humans, it was often through an angel. ( Genesis 16:7-11; 18:1-3, 22-26; 19:1; Judges 2:1-4; 6:11-16, 22; 13:15-22 ) God’s chief spokesman was his only-begotten Son, called “the Word.” ( John 1:1 ) Very likely God spoke to Adam and Eve through “the Word.”— Genesis 1:26-28; 2:16; 3:8-13 .

  What does the Bible says?:

  "Later they heard the voice of Jehovah God as he was walking in the garden about the breezy part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the face of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden." - Genesis 3:8.

  Why on earth would God wanted to be written " the voice of Jehovah God" when it was the supossely the voice of Michael, Jesus, Abaddon?

  Another case of the WT/GB/FDS saying whatever they want.

  What's the freaking problem with A&E hearing God's voice???

  Inaccurate hours recorded

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.

  what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?

  here are some i knew of.... .

  What Weana says is true. The hours you spent on KH constructions, cleaning AH, are discounted from the hours that the pioneer has to make.

  Which at the end, is the same thing as if they were counted towards the hours that the pioneer has to make.

  Of course, visiting the elder or doing other Christian activity does not qualify for this.
