  AUST: QLD Cairns Post - Tablelands police charge former JW with offences against children

  by darkspilver in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i believe this has appeared into today's edition of the cairns post print newspaper (saturday 4 february 2017) at the top of page 4 under the headline: "indecent charges for man" - the actual text of the article is apparently the same as the online version below:.

  cairns post - saturday 4 february 2017. tablelands police charge former jehovah’s witness with offences against children.

  an elderly tablelands man and former jehovah’s witness member will appear in court this month amid allegations he molested three young girls from the church more than 25 years ago.

  Now all we need is "Watchtower - The Musical". Problem is you can never finish the script because JW teachings are contantly changing.

  The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.

  they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.

  1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

  JW Broadcasting: 1919 and Jesus' Illustration of the Loaves.

  
  

  BROTHER DAVID SPLANE: "In the gospel accounts of the loaves and fishes Jesus was prophetically illustrating that a loaf of bread can be reused to feed a multitude of generations. Likewise today, faithful Christians may not fully understand how one generation overlaps another generation while still being the same generation...

  
  

  "Each overlapping generation can be likened to overlapping slices of a loaf of bread. Even though they overlap they are still one loaf. Clearly Jesus understood what he himself meant when he fed a multitude of generations from a single loaf. Should we be discouraged if we are not part of the first slice? Not if we desire everlasting life.

  "For many years the "faithful slave" had pointed to the year 1919 as their appointment by the Master, Jesus. The year 1919 can be likened to the crust slice in our loaf of bread illustration. Do we grasp the modern-day meaning of Jesus' prophetic illustration, or are we like that little bit of leaven that spoils the whole lump.

  "Hence we should not be discouraged when trying to understand the deep things of God. Rather, we should have complete trust in "the faithful and discreet slave" whom Jesus appointed in 1919 to feed the many generations from one loaf. One way we can show our trust is by accepting all things the "slave" provides for us including this loaf of sliced bread which represents 1919."

  Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (lan-vire-pool-guin-gith-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooth-clandus-ilio-gogo-goch) is a Welsh word which translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".
  

  ... by comparison ...

  Weewullpullootfymwynderyillchwybyrgogohwallanswllitfyraprophet (we-will-pull-out-from-under-your-platform-your-kingdom-hall-and-sell-it-for-a-profit) is a Watchtower word which translates roughly as "screw you publishers this hall is dedicated funds now belonging to the Watchtower".

  At last Watchtower finally found a theocratic purpose for the luxury river front property they purchased in Wales (see description and photos below) ... pre-recording a talk in Welsh some three years later.

  And there were sceptics who believed Watchtower was only a real estate company and had no need to purchase a luxury river front property for translation services.

  THE PROPERTY

  Superbly positioned above The Menai Strait with direct water access, Y Gwylain has been impressively developed to a high standard. The property comprises of entrance hallway, reception hallway, impressive open plan 'live in kitchen/family room', lounge, sitting room, games room, 2 studies, utility, cloakroom, shower room, 5 double bedrooms, four en-suites and a family bathroom. The property benefits from having gas central heating, double glazing, garage, established landscaped gardens with decked areas and pond. The property enjoys fantastic sea view of The Menai Strait, The Menai Suspension Bridge and across to Anglesey.

  JW: Oooh, you can see the end is so close. The bible prophesied that in the end they will be pushing and shoving."

  PATRON IN STARBUCKS: "Shove it!"

  So, I watched "The Founder" today, and had a minor Revelation

  in the movie's story, ray kroc, the man who is in charge of franchising mcdonalds restaurants, is finding himself in a situation where he is doing gangbusters at creating the stores, but is going broke on his contract.

  he gets help from another fast food executive who examines his books.one aspect of the business jumps out.

  the stores need land to operate on, and that money is going to the land-owners who lease the land to the stores.

  Pseudo history in Watchtower today 😂

  2. friends

  gorby went to the kh for family reasons today.. and landed right away middle in a pseudo history watchtower article.

  just that aspect of the jw belief he is so sensative about.. so 1918 and 1919 are changed with one mark of a pencil.

  the argument of change was in the past the argument of the doctrine.

  Gorbatchov, had you been at the kingdom hall the week before you would have heard the reminder from the governing body - which was also pinned to the notice board - informing all who attend to leave their brains and thinking skills at home.
