  Jehovah`s witnesses not the only religion GOD is using now ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.

  the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.

  so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.

  How much do Elders actually get along with each other?

  by Davros in

  2. friends

  i was reading in the shepherding book that elders should “ cul­tivate and maintain friendships with one another.”, and thought to myself “bulls$it!” i remember that most of the elders in my old congregation were nothing but nasty asses.

  i know it may vary from congregation to congregation, but do elders generally get along with each other behind closed doors in elders meetings?

  or, are they often in conflict with each other?

  Elder No. one can really ruin what should be, if bible teachings would be really applied, a really great arrangement. because many honest hearted come in expecting and giving such.

  I do not understand why the wt power is not used to weed out the "elder ones."

  That is where the rotation of positions in the early 1970s was great, because it stripped the psychopath, narcissists of their headship trip after a year.

  wt organizing freezes the whole into a faceless morass. not smiles, grins.

  Tsunamis and Volcanos: why?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  volcano eruptions and tsunamis kill at large scale and very often, without warning.

  how do believers explain these away?

  jehovah's witnesses say that humans die and suffer due to the original sin, but what do volcano's and tsunamis have to do with it?

  The universal governance / sovereignty issue raised by wt was never about who was more powerful, (the creator having monopoly on that). but the right to rule right and rule well.

  So how does wt explain that in that uneven contest brute force has been used?

  Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis have been proven in sediment studies to have happened repeatedly before the talking snake 6000 years ago bsw.

  you are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.

  what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.

  she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

  caused by God being the creator and no one else .

  s3: or, as a typical father, only a facilitator, providing an impetus, energy and let her rip.

  Why? for what purpose? SL: some of the nicest places, Hawaii as an example, are the result of Volcanoes. Tsunamis should teach us to not build on sand, but move up the slope to get a wider Horizon. en toute Liberte'.

  Are we not glad that the dinosaurs did not survive their disaster?

  The feet separated by the Atlantic ocean or the Pacific, if you consider Hong Kong tied to Britain, both have their iron (right) and clay (left) cleft now. They really dont mix. often have to be separated by a police cordon.

  Churchill is said to have said that the two "empire parts" are only separated by a common language, but English really dominates the world. and

  re- consider the commonwealth.

  The duality becomes somewhat believable, when you consider the 2 spreading legs of the statue, meeting at the crotch.

  Anglo at one point not being just a junior, or now elderly partner, counting all the billions in Commonwealth countries.

  73 years old, a Witness for 48 years, an elder for 24 years, Baptized just before 1975. WOKE UP!

  2. experiences

  i thought i would post an encouraging experience i found today.

  i've been seeing a lot of 70-80 year old jws waking up, and their children are posting their experience on reddit.

  these are old elders, pioneers, circuit overseers who have given their everything and finally at the end of their life, are walking away.. maybe the key to waking up is that a person has to have a deep sense of right and wrong.

  It is the current power holders that want to perpetuate the wt structure.

  Those of us, idealists that believed in the cosmic mission of leading the meek out of the nuclear holocaust to came, with doctrines such as J1 & j2 even being the "superior authorities", and now having all that belief annulled, ---

  of course are all at least pimo seeing through all the gb's moves.

  We know, we will not be judged by wt standards.
