The gb can tell the flock anything they want and they just eat it up. Critics, historians, professionals are always wrong, unless their views actually support what the gb says.

Jonah's success, J-dubs failure in preaching.
by Darkknight757 in3:1 then the word of the lord came to jonah a second time: 2 “go to the great city of nineveh and proclaim to it the message i give you.”3 jonah obeyed the word of the lord and went to nineveh.
now nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.
4 jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “forty more days and nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 the ninevites believed god.

Did he actually say 6 billion people will soon take their last breath? LOL
Yes he was quoting a watchtower from a few years ago. But you know, witnesses aren't judging lol. He corrected it though and said that number is closer to 8 billion now.

I had a few issues with the article tonight, but the one that stood out is how they tried to say that even though god felt regret over the calamity he had spoken, didn't mean his own judgement had been in error. They then proceeded to use deut. 32:4 saying that his activity is perfect and all his ways are justice.
Well either the bible contradicted itself here or i misunderstand what regret means. Usually regret i thought was feeling bad about something you did that wasn't right?
Also they said god is nothing like the rigid,cold,even harsh god so often portrayed by religious leaders. When actually he is exactly like that if you read the old testament.

Ours started out with Matt. 25:23. He brought out that "good and faithful slave" was talking about the anointed but wait for it.........yes the principle can be applied to our cong. How you may ask? Well tonight it was about getting all the territories worked once a year. And our cong. hasn't done that.
Why is it important? Well as he stated 6 billion people will soon take their last breath, so we need to be going out whenever we can. He then used an illustration about fisherman fishing at night cause thats when the fish bite. Sure it's inconvenient for them but gotta fish when they are biting.
So we need to preach by phone, letter writing Monday nights, go out during the week, saturday mornings and afternoon, sunday afternoon blah blah blah. Never once commended the cong. but ended the talk with don't we want to be called "good and faithful slave"?

I liked the guy, but if any normal r&f jw dressed or acted like him, they would have been df'd and/or never claimed the person to be a Jw. -

If the media has something positive to say about the jw's, then jw's will share those posts on social media, but heaven forbid anyone talk bad about them and print truthful negative stuff..........turn a deaf ear and blinding eye and run like the wind in the opposite direction! -

"Furthermore, forwarding research material, verses extracted for Bible study, or answers to use at congregation meetings would detract from the value of each individual’s personal preparation."
"And what should you do if you find slanderous news about Jehovah’s organization on the Internet? Such material should be firmly rejected. Some feel that they must bring it to the attention of others to get their opinion, but all that does is propagate the malicious information. If we feel troubled about something we see on the Internet, we should ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it. (Jas. 1:5, 6; Jude 22, 23) Jesus, who was the object of false accusations, warned his followers that enemies would persecute them and “lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against [them].” (Matt. 5:11; 11:19; John 10:19-21) We need to use “thinking ability” and “discernment” to identify “the man speaking perverse things” and those “whose entire course is devious.”
" Above all, love refuses to believe malevolent insinuations about Jehovah’s organization or lies about our brothers that are circulated by people who are slaves to “the father of the lie,” Satan the Devil."
I can see how someone would read this and wake up to the crap being published. So even if its true, do not believe what you read about the org if it isn't positive news.

Circuit Overseer say. . .
by Ringo inlast night i had to suffer through the bs spouted by the new co. some garbage about the bible transforming us as people.
he went on and on about how we can look good to people at the hall who see the outside, but the bible will tell us what we are inside.. then he proceeded to use a few select verses to say sex is bad and so is the desire for it.
a healthy bank account or savings is wrong, shouldn't have that either.

I was always told there are no rules only principles also. It always made me mad cause everyone knows there are a thousand rules. But for the most part i don't think many really take the counsel to heart. I'm sure some were like me and would sit and listen, tell him what he wants to hear for a week and then just forget about him once he left. -

Todays WT about young people not following the bad example of their parents
by konceptual99 inso the wt today had some paragraphs that told young people they could make their own stand for da troof.... 2 since we live in a fierce, loveless world, it is no surprise that many children have to grow up without the benefit of loving, protective parents.
(2 tim.
3:1-5) many christians today come from painful family backgrounds, but they have built close friendships with jehovah.

A woman made a comment at the WT study today, she said that some in your family might not like that you are becoming a jw and you might have to pull away from your family, but rest assured you have a great big spiritual family at the KH!
I was sickened by the comment personally, they absolutely do break up families.
