from wikipedia: "rutherford had reportedly lost the use of one lung from pneumonia suffered during his imprisonment in 1918 and 1919. finding new york's winter weather "impossible", rutherford was encouraged by a doctor to "spend as much time as possible" in a more favorable climate.
" why not just tell the people exactly what it says above?
why all the mumbo jumbo about purchasing it for ancient worthies to be resurrected?
I have no idea why they make such a big deal out of that building they bought it as a retreat for people that needed a place to stay while they recovered.
And people have invented all kinds of weird stories like it's some kind of a sacred shrine. It's just a building. What's so interesting about a person that has damaged lung that has to go stay in a recovery building?

My name is Ari Matthew Davies. I am a life experience consultant counselor I have a doctor's degree theology psychology clinical addictions and computer sciences. I am also baptized as well as Jehovah's witnesses.
If you have a question I've got a lot of experience and a lot of real life training. I use my secular college training in conjunction with my theocratic training to help people.
I'm a prison minister I try to avoid the door knocking yes I'm a big chicken in that area! Lol when I look up Bible scriptures I use a standard King James Bible. Just because it's the most common Bible out there.
If you want an honest answer I'll try my best to give it to you.
I also can help you if you have a chemical addiction problem I provide free counsel to a point and low cost training by cash app.

if a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.
my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.
the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.
But why would you put yourself in two position where you're going to get taken back in the library and counseled? Yeah you might not get this fellowship you might get a warning you might get some Bible counsel you might get some shepherding.
But I have a better solution be a good little sheeple! Walk like the rest of the flock talk like the rest of the flock do what the rest of the people do.
And then when you get out of the meeting go in your soundproof room and bring your dog and bring your cat and tell your dog and your cat about all the things you disagree with that's going on in the Kingdom Hall!
Yeah I've got a long list of things I disagree with.
But I've got this rule when I'm in somebody's Elses house I abide by their rules.
I hope you can understand what I'm saying here friend part of being one of Jehovah's witnesses is the discipline to set their 6 hours out of the week.
And follow the program! You know if you really believe in Jehovah God and you really believe in Jesus Christ you have to understand that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are a lot more powerful than men are!
And it should occur to you if you are disciplined Christian why am I going to talk to men when I know that they're not going to like what I say when I can go above their head and talk to Jesus Christ and make my complaint and let Jesus make the corrections.
I hope you can live with what I just said. That's just me.
watching this video and thinking about all jdubs who watch all the gov bod updates yes they are all definitely in the covid cult thanks to the gov body.
https://youtu.be/ramyaayeapq.
I'm a baptized Jehovah witness I'm also a doctor in theology went to college for 7 years psychological studies computer sciences other wonderful things!
I am not one of those covid chasers. I caught it naturally I recovered naturally I caught it again a few months later and recovered again. I've caught it a third time when the third wave came around.
Now that I've had it three times it's no more to me than a minor cold as far as what it does to me.
My insurance company provides eight free covid tests.
The government website will provide you two free tests per month.
I do my ministry inside a prison building in Savannah Georgia.
If covid is going around they won't let you in the door.
Until you stand in front of the temperature scanner and prove that you don't have the classic 101.2 covid fever.
And you always have to wear a mask inside the prison unless you're sitting behind the plastic guard that goes between you.
If you're out dealing with the public whether it be me fixing somebody's computer or ministering they make face masks that are clear and inconspicuous.
Protect yourself protect everybody around you.
But you don't need to be a covid junkie.
good morning,.
yesterday i reached 92 elders in different countries with this document:.
https://jehovah.nu/memorial.pdf.
I don't believe in anti-vaccination stuff. I won't go any farther than that. Now as far as the Jehovah's witness memorial I'm sorry Jehovah's witnesses but I cannot agree with the way that the memorial is conducted.
To the outside world to those people that do not understand that there are only a tiny amount of people that have a calling given to them by the holy Spirit to eat the bread and drink the wine.
The memorial looks like the satanic Black Mass where the implements of Christ's body are passed around the congregation and everybody refuses them.
The proper way to conduct that memorial if you're going to conduct that memorial and because Jehovah's witnesses believe in honoring Jesus Christ they really ought to take this to heart.
If you want to do the right thing Jehovah's witnesses in commemorating the death of Jesus Christ the proper way.
Then have a once per year classic Passover supper available to whoever wants to come.
Let everybody enjoy their food and then sit down to a short reenactment of Jesus at the last supper table.
The reenactment should be conducted from the platform where the spread table on the platform and some actors. To act out the scene that her brothers and sisters. Those people that believe themselves to have the calling well of course volunteer to be one of those actors on stage before the meal.
And setting in the back of the Kingdom Hall should be a plate with unleavened bread and little wine cups like most churches have.
They're made out of plastic.
When the service concludes there will be a song and an invitation if you wish to partake of the body of Christ and the blood of Jesus Christ by taking the implements.
Please do so as you exit the building.
Please join us in the back of the Kingdom Hall where we will sing praises to Jehovah and let that praise be for about 15 minutes.
That way there will be no fault found. The Bible says You must keep from all appearances of evil.
And I'm sorry to be the one to have to say this but it looks evil if you don't know what's going on!
So as a fellow Christian that loves Jehovah God and Jesus Christ I admonish all of you Jehovah's witnesses conduct the memorial the way I just suggested.
I think everybody would benefit from sticking to the original plan a little more closely
i predict this wee april announcement will make it half way around the world very shortly before the significance of the date itself becomes apparent..
They sell this magazine called The national enquirer or at least they used to as well as other gossip column newspapers in your local grocery store. Sometimes I buy one of them just for the entertainment of reading pure gossip.
But I don't use the gossip in those columns for anything except entertainment and I shouldn't even do that.
But I don't believe anything and I do mean anything unless I have seen it with my own two eyes.
I'm doubting Thomas when it comes to anything.
I believe in show me the evidence.
And what I mean evidence I don't mean a gossip column.
I mean show me the conviction from a court of law and then I'll believe it

If you disagree with somebody in authority like the elders or the governing body you're going to get disfellowshipped not for disagreeing but for plain stupidity!
Do you walk up to the county judge and disagree with him do you go up to a police officer and disagree with him?
Do you walk up to a bouncer in a bar and disagree with him?
Let me just put this as nice as I can put it when you're in somebody else's house you go by their rules!
If you don't want to go by the rules don't go into their house that's just a simple and as easy as it can be put!
question please for one of jehovah's witnesses i'm doing some prison ministry.
you used to have the make sure of all things hold fast to what is fine book what is the modern equivalent of this book i need a book which lists the bible topics and where to actually find them in the bible can somebody give me a pointer?.
My thread is now completed and I consider it closed. If you continue to post on it it is between you and whoever else that writes on this thread I'm only interested in groups and sites that honor the name of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ I am not a Kingdom Hall Jehovah's Witness Nor a member of the Watchtower bible and tract Society.
But I know that Jehovah God is the one true God and that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior. And I do not compromise my values when it comes to the name of Jehovah or Jesus Christ.

Friend I have taken a look at enough answers here to know that this is a website that opposes the name of Jehovah I do thank you all for your time.
But a website which opposes the name of Jehovah opposes the name of Jesus Christ also and it's not for me again thank you all for your time and for telling me what book had the information in it that I needed.

The reason that we need to call God by his name or a reasonable facsimile of it to the best of our knowledge is quite simple in the Bible there was a contest between the prophets of Baal and the god that we call Jehovah or Yahweh.
Before I move on I'm going to let it be known to you that the word Lord is the exact same word as Baal! Now in the contest Elijah built the two altars and everybody remembers that the prophets of Baal lost! Can you remember Elijah's words so that the nations may know that you whose name alone is Jehovah or if you don't believe in the word Jehovah you use Yahweh or yhwh to specify the one true God and not a generic Baal God or Lord! That's what that whole contest was about shall we call the Creator generic Lord or God or Baal? Or shall we worship the god called Yahweh or Jehovah?
I will be the first one to admit as a Bible student and believer in the Bible that the word Jehovah cannot possibly be a true Hebrew pronunciation of God's name because of the different vowels!
That's no fracking excuse to remove the name yhwh from the Bible 6900 times!
If you don't believe that Jehovah is the correct pronunciation or the correct spelling that's fine! But if you have any respect for the Lord Jesus Christ and for the god yhwh you do not remove his name from the Bible he didn't have it put their 6900 times for somebody to come along and take it out the Bible specifically says in the closing chapter of Revelation if you remove anything from this book I will remove from you your portion from the Tree of Life!
Friend removing the name of God or the four letters that we know to be correct from the Bible is 6900 separate offenses!
When you pray you can say our father in Heaven Jesus Christ left you that example you can follow that! But let's be frank and honest here the reason that people remove the name Jehovah from the Bible is because it reminds them too much of Jehovah's Witnesses! If there was no religion on this Earth call Jehovah's Witnesses nobody would have an issue with the word Jehovah!
It would be in the Bible all 6900 times with nobody making any questions about it! So let me ask you something if you do not believe that God's name should be called Jehovah do you at least agree that you should use the tetragramaton yhwh when you are speaking about the one true God? Or do you believe that it's okay to call God Baal? Which means the Lord!
Don't you think that the Bible has already addressed this enough? I do! Jesus said you need to be no part of this world you need to be set apart! If you don't put the name of God ahead of you like a banner like a flag you're no different than the rest of the world! That's why the Bible has in the Old Testament Jehovah is my banner!
That's what sets you apart from the rest of the world when you give God the proper respect the proper obedience that he deserves as almighty God!
Jesus Christ specifically said I have come to make the name of my father known and I will make it known! There are people that claim that Jesus Christ never used the tetragramaton or God's name and to that I have to say pure nonsense! Jesus wouldn't have made that statement that I'm going to make my father's name known and I will make it known and then never use the name!
Furthermore do you know that the very name Jesus translates to Jehovah is my salvation! Or again if you don't believe in using the Jehovah word Yahweh is my salvation there's no difference there y'all way is no more accurate than the word Jehovah because we don't know the vowels. So what we have basically here is some turkey arguing the difference between Richard Ricardo or enricho!
The same intent is there we're talkin about the true God here whether you pronounce it as Yahweh Jehovah or jah we're still talking about the one true God .here! And I'm going to be quite honest if the name of God offends you you're not a Christian! The name of God did not offend Jesus Christ Jesus Christ again said I have come to make my father's name known!
And the name contained within Jesus Christ so name is Jehovah is my salvation or again if you don't believe in the Jehovah word Yahweh is my salvation.
This is one area of my life that I absolutely refuse to compromise I'm set apart from the rest of the world because I obey Jesus Christ and I put the name of God above all things! That's why I am and that's the way it's going to stay that's why I am and that's the way it's going to stay!
If you don't agree with it that's between you and God! I'm truly not interested in changing to conform with some man's idea. So I'll leave it at that and I'm going to wish you all a nice day. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them and I'll give you the best most honest answer that I can possibly give you in the nicest way that I can possibly give it to you! May Jehovah God bless you have a nice day
