one wanted a house by the beach.
one wanted a house in the forest.

QFR August 15, 2014 - Resurrection and Marriage
by wisdomfrombelow inthe article addressed luke 20:34-36 and now they finally admit jesus could have been referring to the heavenly resurrection.
they said "put simply, the answer is that we cannot say" which is surprising because they have something to say about everything.
perhaps all the old people who are waiting the new world as widow and widowers want to know if they have a chance to be reunited with their dead loved one.

The End of Circuit Overseers
by wisdomfrombelow ini am sure that the term "circuit overseer" will be gone soon.
they seem to be changing vocabulary and the presiding overseer is now the "coordinator of the body of elders" and all "district overseers" will be gone in a few months.
they used to be called "circuit servants" but they will never re-hash an old term so they will make a new term.

Meeting Not Cancelled but Postponed
by wisdomfrombelow inthere's a big snowstorm on the east coast and i found out that the school and service meeting was not cancelled but postponed to tomorrow.
why do they think it's so important to have it so they ruin another evening after shoveling snow?
just venting.....

Christ Jesus vs Jesus Christ in RNWT

it made me wonder why it was done and what benefit it could have in their doctrines..

January 2014 Awake
by wisdomfrombelow inanyone know why it is taking so long for it to be put on on jw.org?
it supposedly highlights the jw.org website so is there a special campaign or something?
i would have expected it to be there already since both editions of the watchtower have been there for a while..

Type and Antitype
by wisdomfrombelow ini was looking for july 15th watchtower article today to use the words type and antitype but they didn't.
i wonder when they stopped using those phrases as it seems to be a few years.
who was the person who liked to use that word like the person who loved to use antediluvian?

Governing Body vs Watchtower Society Directors
by wisdomfrombelow insince the governing body are no longer officers of the watch tower society who has the real power?
can the governing body "fire" officers and have them removed from bethel by their own power or does it have to be done according to whatever legal regulations there are?
with all their subsidiaries, could the watch tower directors "kick out" the governing body from bethel if they so desired?

My introduction at the Kingdom Hall
by wisdomfrombelow inon sunday i was attending the kingdom hall and some visiting jw or a new jw in the area introduced himself to me.
he obviously didn't know i was disfellwoshipped so i introduced myself to him, shook his hand and smiled.
i wasn't particularly interested in a conversation but i wasn't about to start of saying "i'm disfellowshipped" because it was none of his business.
