I Found Another Group Preaching "Hate Your Enemies" Like Watchtower and Governing Body do!

how often did you pray for your enemies do you recall during the small group gatherings or large scale international bragging assemblies of jws?.

christendoms preachers are starting to scare me as a former member of the watchtower society i don't trust how they pray for their enemies.

i miss the crisp and vitriolic message conveyed to the followers found in vintage watchtowers magazines like the following passage:.

posting about the wonderful preaching day on fb... posting about what they ate for lunch, snacks, dinner after preaching... posting about rubbing elbows with the co, do, etc... posting about getting into pioneer school... swooning over the latest gadgets, right after the meeting... being obsessed about what clothes to wear during the assemblies.... etc.. etc... being proud of having an sp, bethelite, etc relative... being unable to take pride in academic, secular, or other normal achievements leads to the above, i guess.. and it's not at all different from how "worldly" people behave these days... .

" walking with tripping steps.."

' Moving quickly and lightly; nimble ' is actually a very good way to walk.

Do the Governing Body really consider themselves to be 'DOMESTICS' like the Great Crowd?

" and so the great crowd and the annointed are all 'domestics'.

and brothers, we love this teaching.we love this idea because it really, truly does dignify members of the great crowd.".

some may feel, and understandably so, that the governing body is throwing crumbs to the great crowd.

concerning what chapstick said, that's exactly what I thought, however,

I didn't know H.G.Wells was in on it.

... and , doesn't being an earthly subject of the heavenly king give a person enough dignity?

Isn't knowing that you are elite among mankind, belonging to the one, true religion? Isn't that enough to provide us with dignity?

Why do we need 8 men in New York " calling us domestics" to be or feel dignified?

If you want to show a JW some of the older publications from a non-apostate and 'safe' website..

by The Quiet One in

"it is appreciated that these documents do not reflect the current understanding of the bible enjoyed by jehovah's witnesses, and for up-to-date information the reader is encouraged to visit the official site of the watchtower bible and tract society.".

Reminds me of the Popeye movie. Olive Oils' father is always telling everyone, " You owe me an apology." Only this is funnier.

The society would never, ever reject money coming their way or the way of the faithful. Actually, it's the same thing. In your ex's hands is as good as in their hands. You could be running guns to Afganistan, you could be selling moonshine in Arkansas, you could be the next leader of North Korea. Any money you send would be snatched up quickly.

" And so the Great Crowd and the Annointed are all 'domestics'. We are all 'domestics'. And brothers, we love this teaching.We love this idea because it really, truly does dignify members of the Great Crowd."

Some may feel, and understandably so, that the Governing Body is throwing crumbs to the Great Crowd. We are all the same, really! It's a statement that makes everyone in attendance feel good. In the video, the clapping is sincere. Brother Splane may have subconsciously revealed his, or rather, the Governing Bodys' true thinking on this matter by changing his wording from 'teaching' to 'idea' in the next sentence. I would like to have been a fly on the wall when they came up with this 'idea', in their secret chambers. [Did anyone disagree and start causing division? Was a disfellowshipping threatened to keep them in line?]

However, IF the Governing Body really believes that ALL are domestics, that all the Great Crowd are to be shown dignity, would they show it in their actions? Would they live the idea teaching? What if a humble brother invited a member of the Governing Body to their home for supper and an evening of fellowship? Would they accept or would they beg off?

I would like to see someone in New York, invite each and every member of the Governing Body to their home for supper. Just an informal night of eating and fellowship. Would they accept? What if the invitations were repeatedly offered. non stop, to each and every member of the Governing Body until, finally, someone accepts. What if a tape recorder or two were place at locations inside the hosts home to record all the comments of the member? What if dicy questions or subjects were brought up in the course of the evening conversations? Any comments?
