  well, they advocate removing all dissenters, unruly ones, that "will not inherit God's kingdom" those that will end up "as manure on the ground", as a cure for our ills. they have to be kind of "remove the dirt " perfectionist, Not that it does not have merit, Japanese pride has done wonders for the US car industry by way of competition, and I like my airplane mechanic to be a top notch perfectionist,

  but then there is also the sweeping under the rug expediency move. . with an only a partially floor clean of dirt particles.

  corporate structure in the congregations might limit the visitors power. if the congregation "voted" to appoint the the 3 silverbacks permanently, is the Co/ branch going to court? publicly?

  When the green or golden handshake is in danger to turn brown, or transparent, the power balance shifts.

  whoever wrote that fictitious account has not been among a bunch of undisciplined soldiers with a mother and her 15 year old daughter.

  a bullet would be the least of their worries, or a more merciful fate.

  Ah, the good old days. there was actually prior to 1975, the rotating elder arrangement, where the newly created elder positions, were rotated between all the appointees. Imagine

  in September the humblest elder became the president. The bullys, big and small really really hated it.

  It made the coming 1975 paradise more believable, utopia in governance had already arrived.

  The related "new light" is, that these verses in Isaiah, so favoured in the H2H work in the past, do

  not refer to the "New System, " but the returnees from Babylon's captivity hundreds of years before the Christian Era.

  Current wt doctrine is though, that survivors and resurrected ones will make up the Rebel Force after the 1000 years are ended.

  He knows how to get value for his money, and throwing it at the UN, charities or government agencies, is only feeding the parasites, their swiss bank accounts, empower the pedophiles not feeding the hungry. cure the sick.

  Missed opportunity of Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus had foretold that people of "last days" would “faint out of fear” because of things such as “sea-level rise’ as part of “signs of last days” in luke 21:25. bible translators—including new world translation of jehovah’s witnesses—missed the real meaning as they translated it as “roaring of the sea and its agitation.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/nwt/books/luke/21/).

  more careful translations such as niv put it: “roaring and tossing of the sea.” (https://biblehub.com/luke/21-25.htm) word for “tossing” is σάλου (salou), from saino; i.e., billow,” (swell outwards).

  thus underlying thought is like balloon swelling, or water flowing outwards, as though ready to roll over, thus points to the modern terminology “sea-level rise.” biblos interlinear translation (int:) translates it as “of [the] sea and rolling surge.” “rolling sea.” (a greek lexicon to the new testament, edward robinson (d.d., page 416) (a greek lexicon to the new testament on the basis of dr. robinson ... by c. robson).. jesus’ original use of the wording “tossing of the sea” is another way of saying “sea-level would rise” as a result of pollution of air.

  A: The word "rolling" actually accurately describes a wave travelling through the surface of the water. It roars only when it collapses and breaks, then foams. Further out, waves are actually eerily quiet. Surfing there a serene experience. So,

  The tsunamis are perhaps the most fear inspiring phenomena of the kind, Sealevel heightening will bring all waves closer. Some Oceanfront properties not the best investment. The wt move from Brooklyn to Warwick up NY state perhaps an over reaction. . No more early morning surfing for bethelites.

  The reason I became a jw 1957: Rev 11:18. " time has come to destroy those destroying the Earth " NIV in ww2, jws were facing death rather than bear arms, raise furry animals, dig tank trenches, which would have supported the war mongers that destroyed millions. now:

  wt was among the greatest devastators in deforestation for pulp & paper production, Now it is others, the flyer industry, excessive plastic packaging, wasteful energy use. --so, like

  Bezos also said : " only a few humans will be allowed to stay on earth."

  if wt inc embraced environmentalism, it would be the first time they did something useful.
