  David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  '' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?

  you lost your job and you searched for another one.

  finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

  for over 50 years D. S. has received payments made by the R&F

  In the US where he lives, most health care is linked to a job. Lose it when you are fired, regain it when you are hired. One treatment could bring on bankruptcy.

  for a family man to give that up for zoom non-meetings and letter writing in a wt organized setting?

  what a joyful thought. and,

  " worrying about details in doctrine will interfere with your worship! "

  really David? does the father not look for those that "worship in --truth"? not endless mistakes ?

  i was never a jw but i lurk in this forum occasionally, trying to rescue some family.

  i will spare you those details.. jw.org and jwfacts are there with youtubes out the wazoo but i would appreciate your thought on this.. i know there are contradictions plenty but this is foundational, blatant and current.

  i know they typically just blow off.

  not to forget that during our time the incredible shrin king F&DS went from "all the remnant" to the body in Brooklyn/Warwick. and

  for wt writers, it is all about the 2 end times, Jerusalem/ temple and 2) 1914 (the Lord's day) and Armageddon, for them, only during those 2 periods the F7DS prophecies apply.

  Paragraph 6: This is an adjustment in understanding. Previously, we thought that Jesus’ inspection took place in 1918.

  J: that is an embarrassing inspection result: page 426 of proclaimers book, 1918, : "--millions now living will never die."

  Anyway, if the inspection started at Pentecost, that gem of a spiritual food prophecy is included before the 1919 next to final appointment of the FDS.

  the second over all his belongings during the great tribulation. :

  Ear nest,
  so, since the anointed, including the GB aka the F&DS will pass to heaven at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, (to fight from heaven) Who exactly will fill that vacuum? Or is that to heavenly universal office?

  sounds like a disappointing appointment!

  Biggest problem for wt prophets: the jw partaker generation is predicted to pass away to heaven before the end, whereas Jesus said they will survive, pass away only after all has occurred.

  T: yes, French widows outperform those in Germany. (nuns are widows, since their husband J.C. died).

  S3: The return from Atlanta to Brooklyn, was like the return to Jerusalem.

  Their worldview ia all about them as the centre of the Universe. Did not the talk still use the return to Jerusalem, the temple building?, more work ahead?

  The terrible things that have happened to the Jewish people are hardly re-assuring to the R&F with the wt promise of survival.

  Religion is hardly dead, with the Sunny-Shiite rift, The Hindu- Islam-state worship triangle tangle around the Himalayas.

  One has to feel sorry for the GB's situation they are in. No wonder they can not manage a warm smile.

  At one point D.S. said, " and this is a revelation" and then went on o read a minor point in another, or previous ly cited text.

  There is his mind set, he really believes that somehow his studiocity leads him to cosmic insights. of course

  Albert the great also believed he was right, and he felt sorry the poor Lord, should nature contradict his formulas.

  What was today's wt study theme? humility?

  i was wondering about this.

  if california or other far left groups in charge would push for making pedophiles quote normal unquote.

  so it passed but has yet to be signed by newsom.

  The jewish people, the Einsteins, Goldbergs, Borns, were the smartest of all the German speakers. unlikely that a kraut would outsmart them.

  There are no hillsides, Catholic villages with cathedrals near Berlin, Luther's country.

  MAY BE THE GOOD RABBI WAS BLIND AND DEAF?

  good try though! There was a German author Karl May, he wrote captivating stories about Cowboys and Indians, before he ever set foot in Nord Amerika, best sellers in the millions.
