  The bible does say that Jerusalem comes down from heaven and settles on the planet at the end.

  Jesus said he wouldn't drink wine again until the kingdom was restored. Fermented grapes are unique to a physical realm.

  Who is The Lord?

  the jehovah's witnesses believe that only the father is lord god, however by searching the scriptures we can identify that there are more than one person in the godhead, and the lord jesus as well as the holy spirit are lord.. for those who are interested in learning, feel free to watch this new video..

  Then who was the dude talking to Abraham about Sodom and Gomorrah's fate?

  This being, in human form was identified as YHWH in Genesis. Then later it was said that no man could see God and yet live. I assume YHWH is most likely the Father so how did Abraham see him and not die?

  Trinitarians, please explain who this special character was that talked to Abraham in the flesh and ate dinner.

  The Consolidation Letter has begun its tour this week in the Pacific Northwest.

  There will be 18 mergers in this region. I know of at least one KH that will be torn down and property sold. I'm sorry I can't give exact details. I need to stay anonymous.

  They don’t even know that they have become Scribes & Pharisees

  “father, forgive them, for they know naught what they do...”.

  - said jesus as they were killing him.. “... and the man who comes to kill you will imagine he is doing it as a deed to god.”.

  ”oh, father, i thank you that i am not like these sinners, these unrighteousness, lowly, and ungodly people.” .

  That's why they keep misinterpreting bible prophecy. The spirit does not exist in the leadership. If it was there they wouldn't have to get majority vote on a matter. The spirit would incline them to all vote exactly the same.

  Maybe a Elijah Baal/God test is needed to see who really has the spirit of God.

  You were right on about the kingdom hall consolidation here in the USA. It's just starting to have an effect in my region. Your post about this was four years ago. The end to the publisher card and reporting requirement should end in about four more years if your sources are true.

  I bet they will empty the halls with the highest property value. Some of these halls are near rich neighborhoods. They could fit a multi million dollar home in place of one of these halls.

  It has been confirmed in the PNW that a number of congregations from different kingdom halls had this consolidation notice read to them this week. These other congregations were told they were part of the coming change. Going to have a bunch of angry old timers if their old cherished hall is sold for $$$ just to keep Mother funded in Warwick.

  This Is It...

  just finished watching the talk by tony morris on john cedars channel.

  sounded to me that he was hedging his bets.

  on the one hand he says "this is it" and out of the other he says prophecies are best understood after they are fulfilled.

  There's a scripture in Joel that says God will reveal prophecy, visions and dreams to certain folks in the future. (Joel 2:28-29)

  Another scripture in Amos has God saying that he won't do a single thing until he has revealed his confidential matters to his prophets. (Amos 3:7)

  Since the GB of WT Land do not know how to interpret prophecy, then they aren't his chosen ones per these two scriptures above. They have no God appointed authority because 99% of their interpretations past/present have never come true.

  I have my own interesting speculations about the future but I would never hand over my creative works for them to steal. Even if I sent a journal of my findings they would either throw it away or get me in trouble for independent thinking.

  A letter was read tonight in the Great PNW.

  It seems there is going to be a "great contraction taking place" shortly in the worldwide brotherhood.

  The elder read a letter from the branch that said that the whole region is being evaluated for efficient use of auditoriums. The ones that are partially empty will be consolidated with others to make full capacity congregations.

  The hall that I attend was included in this change. They did not spell out what kind of change was fated for this particular congregation. They said you will be notified in a few months down the road. The technical details are still in the works. Even the elders were not in the know.

  I do not know how many other congregations in the area had this same letter read to them. I will find out in a few days from friends and family soon enough. The particular congregation I attend has the building all to itself. The seating capacity at max fills to about 80% but normally it's only filled to 50%. The building is quite old but it's in decent shape. They either will send other congregations to this hall or they will disband the current one and demolish the building and sell the property.

  There is a great number of senior citizens in this hall. I know they will be very upset if they have to travel farther to the meetings. A lot of them are die-hards so I know they will go because that is the direction from "the slave".

  They quoted a small portion in the Organization book about the subject of using auditoriums. I will give details on that later.

  WingCommander guessed right on the 1st page!

  I had to dig through many boxes to find my Organization book. I discovered I had two different versions. One was published in 2005 and the other was 1983. I rarely ever looked at these books. I will show you a chapter listing of both. It looks like they started focusing on the “Faithful and Discreet Slave” title in the 2005 version.

  1983 version

  1. Organized to accomplish our ministry

  2. Benefiting from theocratic subjection

  3. Recognizing Christ’s role in God’s arrangement

  4. How the congregation is organized and governed

  5. Overseers to shepherd the flock

  6. Ministerial servants render valuable service

  7. Arrangements for regularly assembling together

  8. Ministers of the good news

  9. Ways to expand your ministry

  10. How the ministry is supported

  11. Holding to Jehovah’s righteous standards

  12. When difficulties arise

  13. A worldwide association of brothers

  14. Enduring with life in view

  Appendix: Questions for those desiring to be baptized

  2005 version

  1. Organized to do Jehovah’s will

  2. Recognizing Christ’s role in God’s arrangement

  3. Trusting “the Faithful and Discreet Slave”

  4. How the congregation is organized and governed

  5. Overseers to shepherd the flock

  6. Ministerial servants render valuable service

  7. Meetings that “Incite to love and fine works”

  8. Ministers of the good news

  9. Methods of preaching the good news

  10. Ways to expand your ministry

  11. Arrangements for places of worship

  12. Supporting kingdom activity locally and worldwide

  13. “Do all things for God’s glory”

  14. Maintaining the peace and cleanness of the congregation

  15. Benefiting from theocratic subjection

  16. A united brotherhood

  17. Stay close to Jehovah’s organization

  Appendix

  I’m guessing from the 2005 version that number 4 will have a change or number 12.

  4. How the congregation is organized and governed

  12. Supporting kingdom activity locally and worldwide

  They need more money and I wonder if they are going to start tithing.
