  YRM (Yahweh's Restoration Movement) - Out-JWing the JWs?

  by Apognophos in

  just thought i would point out another religion that shares many of the jws' teachings, including non-trinitarianism and emphasis on god's name: http://www.yrm.org/yrm_statement_of%20belief.htm.

  interestingly, they lean even further towards preserving the jewish covenant than witnesses do.

  i didn't know it was possible to lean this far while still believing in jesus!

  That looks pretty hard-core. Kind of like JW's melded with Taliban. Anytime I see 2Tim3:16 cited as 'proof' I cringe...

  Why do they say: Brother is no longer JW VS Brother is disfellowshipped?

  why did the watchtower stop saying that so and so is disfellowshipped?

  why did they change this?

  So: "If he joins a non-neutral organization, he has disassociated himself".

  He or I can't join the YMCA to use the pool, but 'THEY' can join the UN as an NGO? What constitutes non-neutral in their eyes?

  NRA?

  PTA?

  PETA?

  Every organization has an agenda...

  Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar

  my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.

  this year's calendar is especially weird.

  it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

  If I was fat and ugly when I died before the big A, does this mean I will come back as a hunk? How would anyone recognize me? I guess I will get an approved haircut style too on the way back and some nice threads... What's not to like?

  All I can say is wow! The wife just hung it up (next to her bed). I'm sure each pic will be worthy of its own discussion thread. At least i didn't see any ties...

  As far as Jan/Feb - that grin on Jesus is pretty disturbing.

  Next time, ask them to come back with their Reasoning books and offer to discuss 1914.

  Interesting article on jwnewsnetwork. Thanks TylinBrando. On the subject of Australia can anyone tell me more about Viv Moritz? I met him at the last CA and did a search here but found little. But there was one response that seemed to imply he was shipped off to Poland to avoid trouble in Australia.

  When do you think there will be a revised "Reasoning Book"

  by Amelia Ashton in

  because i was abroad we had to use the original revelation book and only the reader had the new improved version so i don't know if this was the same else where but following along using the old version made the adjustments seem even more ludicrous.. why didn't they ensure everyone had the new version before studying it rather than highlight all the "adjustments" that had to be made in a km and therefore making them more obvious?.

  do you think there could be a list of amendments to be inserted into the reasoning book in the same way?.

  Never. Dustbin material, Only tracts with illustrations. I seriously doubt they will ever print another book.

  Notice how Jesus isn't in that picture.

  What happened to his 1914 return and his "invisible parousia"?

  Answer: because he is invisible...
