  GB Doesn’t Believe in 1914 Anymore – My reasoning

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.

  this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.

  there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.

  but the soil is not that good.

  VM44- The wts still operates its farms, to provide low cost food for its workers. There are 3 wt farms totaling over 2,000 acres and the 600+ acre dairy farm in Patterson where the wec is.

  What they discontinued were the hog and chicken operations.

  Certain other branches also have farms.

  They never speak of Mountain Farm so it must have been sold and I knew Kingdom Farm was on sale, did not realize it had not sold yet.

  How many of the GB helpers are "anointed"?

  by Nostromo in

  according to this list there are 29 helpers at the moment: https://jwleaks.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/jehovahs-witnesses-governing-body-committees.jpg.

  i wonder how many of these are "anointed"?

  all the current seven gb members were helpers first and then appointed to be gb members.

  The 1/15/15 w is trying to discourage witnesses from partaking- the 144,000 cannot be literal if people keep partaking.

  Mark Noumair was not annointed when he studied with me, so he cannot be now, otherwise the 144,000 is not literal and what he taught me was a lie.

  Of course I know it is all fake, but if he really believes in it, he will NOT claim to be annointed.

  Maybe the gb will remove being annointed as a required qualification for being on the gb.

  The 1/15/15 w has an article warning witnesses not to partake at the memorial if they are not really annointed. I know it is fake, but the society is trying to discourage people from partaking.

  The 144,000 is not so literal anymore, is it?

  When I believed in it, I figured Jehovah can create whatever is needed for his people in the new world, electricity, food, anything, he was bringing armageddon and could also provide for his people's needs in the new world.

  Also, why would he destroy the bethel bldgs? I believed they would all be used in the new world. Building them now was also for the new world, armageddon was still close.

  When I was a witness I really believed these things.

  I think that the national average of hrs, which used to be ten per month, has dropped off so sharply, that this basic pioneer arrangement is simply to get the pubs to put in 10 hrs monthly again, it is a special title for them,,, regular pios will still put in 70 and aux pios still 30 or 50.

  But when they get millions as "Basic Pioneers" will they combine this with the other pios and claim a new all- time peak?
