good morning!.

my phone company frequently has promotions that have the advantage of being renewable at the end of term.

long distance unlimited - usa only - is $4 a month if you have no special features.

I have a 100 Mbps from my HD cable company for around $50.00 per/mth.

The modem is free and it has WiFi built into it which lets me have wireless inter-net throughout the house

Breaking the Watchtower into Two Opossing Camps, Possible?

by Scott77 in

is there a possibility that the watchtower will be split into two opposing camps at sometime in the foreseeable future?

judging from the past, do we envisage such a scenario happening before our eyes?.

I wonder if a majority of the directors of the WTS. banned together in a move to dismantle the WTS. and reform

into a different organization with different doctrines would that ever be a possibility ??

Do JWs even mention the 'generation' teaching to new studies?

by lisaBObeesa in

the other thread got me to wondering if people who are studies ever even learn about the current generation teaching.. is the current generation teaching part of the book that is used with studies now?

.

we do well to keep in mind several things about the word “generation”: It usually refers to people of varying ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period;

This is where the WTS. came up with their biggest lie to date , in reality Jesus was most likely speaking to the generation that was alive while he spoke

those words, but thats being a bit too truthful for the WTS. Their insinuation is that this Generation(s) is living right now in are time.

One interpretation has absolutely no supporting help whatsoever, the other has potentially much more.

Even though there is a plausible time limit to their interpretation.

How long and how many generations will they assume since 1914 is anybodies guess.

But on the other hand, ask yourself, "why did the artist choose that particular picture on the wall or put that upside down, gravity defying wrinkle, in Jesus' robe?"

More than likely out of bad or incompetent artistic skill.

People who are purporting to see things in art are usually playing with a their own perceived visual psychology.

Yes, sometimes one can perceive a likeness in imagery which is not intensional but rather because of their close psychical resemblance.

but also one breakaway group or groups claiming a stake on all those assets of the Watchtower.

Highly unlikely Scott77 since there is an established board of directors appointed to the WTS. Corporation, even if it is

recognized as non-profit organization. So even if a couple of the GB members wanted to depart with the organization and take some

of the assets with them they couldn't do it.

Witnesses are told to "politely leave the territory"

by passwordprotected in

anyone got any idea what's going on with the wtbts legal department these days?.

witnesses are now told to leave the territory if told by a law enforcement office to do so.. how does this square with harold king?.

and can someone remind me of the name of the woman (in china?

thetrueone

I think they are instructing the JWS to not be confrontational in situations where there may be some legal problem for the JWS to go door

to door. They are then instructed to talk to their congregational elders, who should proceed on to reach the WTS. legal department.

One interesting thing that has changed over the years is that the WTS. tries to legally distance themselves from people who do go door to door.

They want to make the assumption that JWs are doing personal preaching work, separate from being directed or in association with the WTS.

Which is quite the deceiving lie since all JWS are being taught how to preach, through the WTS. own literature in hand.

When you think about it, the WTS. is a Kingdom of lies inside and out.

If Jesus did return in 1914, wouldnt he have.........?

by Nambo in

if jesus returned in 1914, i can understand he would be invisible to the rest of mankind so he can seperate the wheat from the chaff from thier genuine behaviour, but why is he also invisible to the congregation he is head of?.

he appeared to the original disciples before he went to heaven, now he has "returned", why hasnt he appeared to his faithfull and discreet slave?.

if he is directing his church on earth, shouldnt he at least appear to the president to give him some direction and to ensure "his" chosen congregation doesnt make any silly mistakes that would hamper the work?.

thetrueone

Question to people who are knowledgeable of the bible !

The bible speaks of Jesus returning to earth in visible form, where does the bible say that sometime in the future he is

to establish a kingdom in heaven , as the JWS teach involving 1914.

I already know about how the JWS arrived at 1914.

Is there two separate occurrences of Jesus such as a physical one returning to earth and a obvious invisible one in heaven ?

Concerning religious imagery, there are constantly occurring incidences of what is called Pareidolia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A well-known example of pareidolia: A satellite photo of a mesa in Cydonia, often called the Face on Mars. Later photographs from other angles destroyed the illusion.

Pareidolia ( play / p ær ? ' d o? l i ? / parr-i-DOH-lee-? ) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit , and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- ("beside", "with", or "alongside", in this context meaning something faulty or wrong, as in paraphasia , disordered speech) and eidolon ("image"; the diminutive of eidos – "image", "form", "shape"). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia .

There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus , the Virgin Mary , or the word Allah .

In 1978, a New Mexican woman found that the burn marks on a tortilla she had made appeared similar to the traditional western depiction of Jesus Christ's face. Thousands of people came to see the framed tortilla. [2]

Publicity surrounding sightings of religious figures and other surprising images in ordinary objects has spawned a market for such items on online auctions like eBay . One famous instance was a grilled cheese sandwich with the "Virgin Mary"'s face. [3]

In September, 2007, the so-called " monkey tree phenomenon " caused a minor social mania in Singapore . A callus on a tree resembled a monkey , and believers flocked to the tree to pay homage to the "Monkey god" (either Sun Wukong or Hanuman ). [4]

I know of a few pieces of toast that has images of the likeness of Jesus burnt into , no difference.

Being that the artists who make up the art illustrations for the WTS. are actual JWS in Bethel Headquarters,

you shouldn't expect the art to be of high quality. Perhaps on occasion there might be an intentional image drawn into

the greater body of the illustration but what do expect from people who are brainwashed JW religious cult members.

Take a good analytical view of most illustrations from religious organizations and you'll probably find strange images intensionally

and perhaps unintentionally among the art illustrations created by its devout members.
