  Why does the WBTS keep confusing 'rulership' with 'kingdom'?

  by Must obey! in

  i get annoyed at how the society keeps harping on about how 'the kingdom' of god is actually a heavenly governmental rulership, made up of 144,000 & christ.

  for example, this quote in the study article about god's sovereignty just reviewed:.

  "a sovereign generally exercises his authority through an agency that is placed over his subjects.the kingdom of god, therefore, is an expression or exercise of god's universal sovereignty toward his creatures, a means or an agency used by him to carry out his rulership.".

  Yes, they do, and this thread is a very important reminder of how they are in error.

  Thanks for posting.

  four weeks ago, my only child, my daughter, was asked to leave my home.

  it was tough love.

  she has spent the previous 3 years incarcerated.

  Why don't I see any pastors or clergy on this forum?

  it just occurred to me that i have never seen a member on jwd who was a minister/priest/rabbi/monk,friar,shamman, etc.

  maybe i have just missed their posts and then again, maybe they don't come here for some reason.

  i know they must come in contact with jw's and ex-jw's all the time.

  Micky:

  It's really hard because for some reason the Pastor seems to like to try to talk to us and is constantly trying to talk to us when we are outside.

  Isn't that what neighbors are for? Perhaps he's just being a good neighbor. What does he talk about?

  I hate talking about religion.

  Perhaps he does too. Most I know do. Remember, his faith may be quite different to what you've experienced at the KH - a personal faith, rather than 'a religion' or an "Organisation™"

  Oh dear, oh dear! "Let the reader use discernment" -remember those words from our days in "The Truth™"?

  Maybe they wisely don't see the need to advertise it, I can assure you there are several I know personally who visit this site to gain more understanding of what it means to be held captive by the Borg. They do it so they can be better equipped to help others.

  As far as ministers actually registered on JWD, I know a few and, yes, they have posted, sometimes frequently.

  Still, it wouldn't be helpful to now start a 'witch hunt' about that, would it?

  I think we've all had more than enough with issues of people and their identities to last us more than this lifetime!

  New pro-JW book out on JWs in the Third Reich

  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0299207943/ref=pe_5050_7762570_pe_snp_943 .

  now that i look more into it, i believe its a recent english translation of a 10 year old german book.

  i wonder if penton's book referenced the german version of it.

  Mrs Ozzie has recently been given a book on a similar theme to read. It's entitled "Facing the Lion" by Simone Arnold Liebster.

  I believe it's very popular amongst the 'in crowd' amongst Witnesses downunder.
