question.
my mother told my husband that there is to be a 'special meeting' in october at the local sports arena (same place as dc's are held here) and that "only publishers are allowed to attend" that they will get "special cards" for admission from their local congregation and have to hand them in to get into the building.
i have no idea if this has anything to do with the "annual meeting" they always have (isn't that generally in october?
This meeting is to follow the day after the annual meeting, there are to be tie-ins from all across the U.S.
Only a certain number of congergations have been invited, your truly happens to be one of them : )
A Bethelite also told me that one member of the G.B. will be at each site.
And yes you will need cards to get in......and you must be in
good standing
can you smell the anti's foaming at the mouth
20 yrs have passed, now (2021) and armageddon still had not come.

*** it-2 694 Prophet ***
The Greek pro·phe'tes literally means "a speaker
] out [Gr., pro, "before" or "in front of," and phe·mi', "say"]"
and thus describes a proclaimer, one who makes known messages attributed
to a divine source. (Compare Tit 1:12.) Though this includes the thought of
a predictor of the future, the fundamental meaning of the word is not that of
prediction. (Compare Jg 6:7-10.) Nonetheless, living in harmony with God's will
requires that the individual know what Jehovah's revealed purposes for the future
are so that he may bring his ways, desires, and goals into line with the divine will.
Hence, in the great majority of cases, the Biblical prophets did convey messages that
were, directly or indirectly, related to the future.
i was just wondering you know whether in bethel workers get credited with whats called in britian national insurance.. in britian you carnt miss six years of payment and expect a full goverment pension which isn't much anyway.also you cant claim full income support , sickness benifit or job seekers allowence if you have missed or underpaid you ni.. this came to mind as my wife worked for a company that didn't pay contributions for her .. when latter on she lost her job the goverment wouldn't pay her any job seekers allowance as no ni contributions were credited for that year.. so does bethel pay ni contributions for bethelites and circuit overseers and the like.
yes.in america they do.
thats what makes america the greates country in the world
can i get a hell yeah

are there any jw's posting here who believe that they are not of the anointed class?.
also, of the jw's who post here who do consider themselves as of the anointed class, do you feel that you have a special mission with regard to making ex-jw's aware of their standing with their creator?.
englishman.. ..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
I am not anointed but damn good looking
how do you prove from the bible that 1935 was the year that the selection to heaven stopped due to being filled?
no fred is right
a friend and i have come across a quantity of crisis of conscience in like-new condition, both english and italian editions.
we're in a quandary as to how to make best use of them.
we were thinking of donating them to the libraries or to perhaps cut a deal wth a local christian book store.
The library is the best route. Yes, JWs will steal them and burn them, it's not against their conscience to steal, they don't have one
please dont generalize..it makes you no better than
those who you protest...i would never steal
