What kind of HQ did Jesus have?

"Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."--Matthew 8:20

2 reasons the 'overlapping anointed' idea generates no comfort for the WT writers.

by prologos in

1) the general "wicked generation" has always members that live past 115 years, so without the ridicoulous overlap idea, it would have taken wt writers to 2030 for the start of pardise.. 2) the "all things take place" prophecy recorded in math 23-25 include the entering of the " goats into everlasting cutting off=armageddon; the sheep into everlasting life= paradise".

therefore: the generation of wt anointed overlappers dying before armageddon to be raptured, is not what jesus said.

he said the generation will not pass, will survive, be alive , witness the entering into paradise.

Or 29 CE... the above still would apply.

When you were young did your parents embarrass you?

by greenhornet in

one example is when my mom went to the doctors office she would check in and say in a very loud voice "im one of jehovah's witnesses and i don't want a blood transfusion.

she would like say this do every one at the doctor's office.

i was 16 years old and i say mom no one here is going to do this to you.. another time is when we go out to eat my dad would pray out loud and say "jeehoovah" really loud.

Yep...I can relate. That sounds especially like my mother.

Well another one leaves the Borg.

by John Aquila in

i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.

a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.

one of them, a very attractive girl.

I think allot of the few people who are coming in do it because of the lovebombing and the attention of those trying to convert them. Many convert during a traumatic time in their life or if they are disgruntled by their church or pastor. The JWs studying with them will be extra nice, make allot allowances, seem non-judgemental, and seem so different from other churchgoers. Then they get dunked and everything changes.

WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money

by Designer Stubble in

page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.

(2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.

we have not wavered from that policy.

So while they begged for money in the May broadcast, I guess technically they can say that the Watchtower magazine itself didn't do the begging...

Undue influence - other areas in life

by DavidG in

jw
friends

after gradually waking up to ttatt im finding myself with this question:.

since it is so easy to be indoctrinated with jw beliefs, are there other areas in my life where i'm also under influance of other false beliefs?

from the culture i've grown up with, school etc?.

Londo111

There is a difference between influence and undue influence. Influence is a continuum…at the extreme end would be undue influence, which is implementing by the methods found in the BITE model.

If Women were elders, would it make a difference in the organization?

by John Aquila in

imagine three single sisters who qualified to be appointed as elders in the congregation.

they qualified because they started reaching out in their early teens.

persistently and methodically they worked their way through the ranks by pioneering then becoming a m.s.

Londo111

As long as elders have to follow the Flock book, rather than their own conscience, gender doesn't make much of a difference.

okay, i am almost forty and outside of my wife i haven't had a friend in decades.

sure i have tons of people with whom i am friendly towards, but they all share something to do with work or business.

i remember thinking last year i had no one who called just to talk.
