Newbook study..."Live with Jehovah's day in mind"
by bobld inch:2 para 11 q.to what extent was hosea willing to go in doing god's will?what sacrifices would i be willing to make to do jehovah's will?.
in the para it says,"jehovah instructed hosea to marry gomer,"a wife of fornication".why would jehovah ask anyone to endure the indignity of spousal infidelity?jehovah was teaching a lesson in loyality and forgiveness.".
you should of heard the answers:jehovah was long-surffering,kind,good,virtue,benevolence.he consented.putup with the unfaithful wife and many more good things about this arrangement.. i bit my tongue: i said to myself what did jehovah say in: eph:5:5,gal:5:19 or re:17:2, 1 cor:5:1.you mean to say jehovah told hosea to be a cuckold.how wicked ,depraved,disgusting,repulsive,cheap,worhtless degrading,low,mean can you make a man to do your will.that is one sick dude and those making the comments.if that was not bad enough in the next para the wbts/gb say micah declared a message because the world was"extreme moral corruption and idolatry" why wouldn't it be extreme moral corrupt when jehovah approved,no demanded fornication.my take is the wbts/gb was trying to push loyality to their org.. bob.

WBTS and Bible
by bobld inthe wbts: jeremiah 10:23 "it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step" they use this scripture to describe how man cannot direct his own step let alone rule mankind or gov't cannot rule man.only god gov't will bring lasting peace for mankind.my question for the wbts.does the governing body of the wbts (a group of about 12 men)able the rule mankind?when god says at jeremiah10:23.does the gb rulership usher in a happy,peaceful world free from crime or war.can the gb rulership conquer sickness,old age,and death.then why do you use this scripture to fault all other gov'ts and rulers when you yourself think it's o.k.
for you to rule mankind.. the wbts:acts20:35 "there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving"they use this scripture to describe giving as:going from door to door,counting time,placing w/a mags,and other wbts publications.also older ones have to put in at least 1/4 hour of door to door work per month to qualify for salvation.now show me a happy camper (j.w.
) doing those things.if there is so much happiness in going from door to door than the gb should be out there 24/7.they would be a whole lot happier.you see when you talk to true christians they will tell you the real meaning of that scripture.. bob.

Awake August 2008 Hurricane Katrina
by bobld inmore than 5,600 homes of fellow believers and 90 kingdom halls damaged.robert one of the volunteers has this to say:"jehovah takes good care of his people".also he gave up his job of over 40 years,to clean offices.you would think that after 40 years he would not have to work.. gregory: saw the light and sold his house and bought a pickup truck and trailer.nice move with the price of gas.a truck is handy for the field ministry.
(farmers make good use of pickup trucks).. wendell:"the day after katrina struck.now,however,we have seen god's care on a much larger scale.".
just your typical/ antitypical jw talk.. bob.

I'am Confused
by bobld inat the end of april,2008 the gb/fds( god's spokesperson/ channel of communication) cancelled/deleted one meeting where we are to gather,incite and love one another.. the bible,god's holy word at hebrews 10:24,25 let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works not forsaking the gathering of ourselves,as some have the custom,but encouraging one another,and all the more so as you should behold the day drawing near.. so the gd/fds says we do not have to gather together.do not have to incite to love.we have the custom of forsaking one another.the day in not near.. yet god's word says the exact opposite.. bob.
ps:when the annoucement was made the r&f said "was that not wonderful of the gb/fds of this new provision".sorry i'am confused who is right god or the gb/fds..

WT last week 'This Generation"
by bobld ini have a question for leolaia.you did an excellent review of last weeks wt study article i appreciated it q13/14.
in the paragragh ""as a class,these anointed ones make up the modern-day "generation" of comtemporaries that will not pass away "until all these things occur" "" see footnote.. my question...if the anointed.ie 144,000 make up a generation of comtemporaries.
would they not be part of a generation say in the 1st century,the 5th century,10th century.15th century 18th century,19th century(1914) providing the proper food at the proper time.if that is so than how can the gb say this generation(anointed ones)will not pass away and that we are living "in the conclusion of the system of things"?

Public Edition and Study Edition of the Watchtower
by bobld inthis was debated on this forum however, since they are being issued to joe q public in 2008 i needed to update the gb/fds.per july 07 km "exciting changes for the watchtower,thrilling announcement: 2 editions of the watchtower.1 for the public and a study edition for j.w.
will not require to explain terms like "pioneer".back in 2001 the wbts/gb/fds published a book "benefit from theocratic ministry school education".as you will see the wbts/j.w.
used these terms back in 2001,so why wait until 2008 for a public edition of the watchtower.let's take a peak at the benefit education book.. "jesus' sermon on the mount is a superb example of a talk that can be understood by people no matter who they are or where they live.and he expressed his thought in down to earth language matt.chap 5-7.".
