  Questions for Recover and ANY JW here, if can be explained I'll return to JW.

  while i am waiting for him to answer my question.

  i thought i would ask of him and any other jw's.

  we are supposed to have the truth, the bible is all scripture is inspired and benefitical for teaching, reproving, and setting things straight.

  You should never listen or read their propaganda.

  As an Example Nov 2012 awake p28 understanding the Bible:They quote 6 scripture about the dead.

  With the following description"The Bible teaches the dead are actually dead.They are not alive in

  heaven or somewhere else but are asleep.HENCE,THEY CANNOT PRAISE GOD OR EVEN THINK."

  So by their logic the 144,000 are dead, are actually dead,they cannot even think.

  So there you have it.They 144,000 cannot give any instruction to the anointed on earth,THEY ARE DEAD

  ARE ACTUALLY DEAD.

  "Safeguard Your Mind" assembly targeting apostate thinking

  by promised_presence in

  2. bible

  i recently attended the second day of the 2 day assembly for safeguarding your mind.

  the first talk was entitled "feed your mind at jehovah's table".

  the first portion of this talk specifically targeted apostates warning members to not listen to them "even if they were once strong in the truth or had great responsiblity in the congregation".

  "Safeguard Your Mind" I immediately thought of how they will brainwash the mind of the sheep by their propaganda.

  we had our circuit assembly last weekend and this was one of the needs of the circuit.

  one of the main points was mid week meeting attendance.

  apparently the attendance is very low.

  Right on, low attendance.About family worship night,I for one could not figure out why they called it

  a loving provision for the faithful slave.I believe you should worship God every day and read the bible

  every day.Not by some rule of some men in N.Y.

  Because we have a brain.

  All through life we all try different things.Like Amway, only to find it's a scam.

  Some are born into the R.C. and find how bad it is, so they try J.W. only to find how bad it is.

  THose born in J.W. land find how bad it is and try something else.We all try different jobs.some we like

  others we hate but do it because it puts food on the table.That's life.

  german court warns catholic to pay c.t.

  German court warns Catholic to pay C.T. of face expulsion.(Indepentant uk news)

  The German State collects a religious tax on individual registered R.C.,Protestant and Jews since the 19th century.

  Then funnels back to the respective religious bodies.The levy amounts to between 8-9% of an annual Incone tax bill.

  I bet the WBTS does not challenge this,because they get a lot of money without asking or saying this is supported

  bt voluntary donations.So WBTS what happens when your JW is a poorly paid parttime worker.Cuts

  into your revenue does it not. I bet you like highly paid workers in Germany.

  David kills 200 men and cut thier foreskins off (6 years old asks what are foreshins?)

  Davis has sex with another man's wife and kills her husband( 5 year old ask do people kill to have sex)

  David disobeys god and 70,000 die.

  How about totally destruction of the Amalekies;every man,woman,child,baby,cattle,sheep and donkeys gets killed.

  one more how about cutting a baby in half that will scare any child.

  The gb always say to make the bible reading alive.I say it scares the bejesus out of the kids.

  page 26,p15.

  'paying careful attention to any direction that we receive through jehovah's organization(gb) and applying it at once.. many who have rid themselves of needless debt can testify that applying wise counsel(of the gb) to simplify their life.

  'Paying careful attention to any direction that we receive through Jehovah's organization(GB) and applying it at once.

  Many who have rid themselves of needless debt can testify that applying wise counsel(of the GB) to simplify their life

  has benefited them during the recent economic crises"

  That statement reminded me of what a bethelite said some years ago in his closing talk at a circuit assembly.

  Quote"3,300 were told (were told) to leave New York bethel.How much more could they simplify-GB.

  p3-6 ECUADOR-Lack of basic services such as electricity and running water.Heat,dust lack of hot showers.

  How much more can thet simplify-GB.

  p25 In a number of lands where living conditions are chellenging many publishers have a simple lifestyle.

  Is your statement applicable and wise.

  No it is your selfish greed to kick 3,300 poor soul out ot HQ so you could make a fast buck when the real estate was hot.

  You should read your wt mag before you publish it.
