so a jw elder acquaintance sent me an email "encouraging" me to return to the organization, including this little nugget of a quote from today's wt session,*** w21 november p. 23 par.
11 how strong will your faith be?
***learn to trust those whom jehovah and jesus trust.
"do not put your trust in men, princes" aka elders.
Wt inc will fail them as before, see malawi, 1914, 1919, 1925, 1975, 2000,
all based on really funny, implausible bible stories,
funny comment too: "stand still" , as in a line of runners in a stadium at the starting line. for wt followers, running their never ending*** hamster wheel marathons.
*** always ending at their death.
do you remember the time when every watchtower article seemed like a boasting session?
how great watchtower was.
they we're the only one with holy spirit.
how about the slim book wt published on the beliefs of other major religions, (search for god ?) was that not quite polemic free?
which sentences are technically correct.
1 the watchtower keeps changing its doctrines.. 2. the watch tower keeps changing its doctrines.. 3. the watchtower society keeps changing its doctrines.. 4. watchtower keeps changing its doctrines.. 5. watch tower keeps changing its doctrines.. 6. the society keeps changing its doctrines.. 7. the watchtower organization keeps changing its doctrines.. 8. the watch tower organization keeps changing its doctrines..
none of the above, when it comes to doctrine, there is dis-organisation, even the shining light on past edition's cover was a cover up for mostly darkness, as we now know.

don't understand....but this crisis in ukraine seems to be getting out of control....i mean, everybody knows how to start a war..... by the way, as always, people at the borg are having a field day.....
Spasiba, Pyotr Pistoletiy!
woyna ni crasho tavarish putin!. ( from my contacts with soviet soldiers, may 1945.)
don't understand....but this crisis in ukraine seems to be getting out of control....i mean, everybody knows how to start a war..... by the way, as always, people at the borg are having a field day.....
I always wonder why the country with the greatest land mass, spanning most time zones, has to still greedily invade its neighbours as it did during all of the last century, (ask the baltics, finland poland et al.)
I feel really really sorry for the people caught in the perimeter of these repeat invaders.
Nobody wants to go to Russia*** now, either as immigrants or conquerors. Plenty of Russians would be elated to able to move to better places. *** except the likes of Lee Harvey Ostwald, so aptly named.
Glad the Ukrainians have plenty of offspring living around the world to hopefully continue their great heritage.
P.S. It is now we wish that there were more. most of the Russian population, as Dukahbors, mennonites, amish, seventh day adventist, wt adherents.
watchtower view on romans 6: 7 examined .
the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.
so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!
with that logic, only the wt Armageddon survivors need the ransom and a mediator, because they are the only ones never frying* dying for their sins.
** to quote A.M.
considering it is contacted in the open and i see other people engaging outdoors on other sales activities why is cart witnessing still not allowed?
are there any updates as regards returning to this activity any time soon ?.
Wt could suspect that more confrontations will come in the future for those hapless keepers of the carts, with more savvy jwfacts educated , and/or fanatics with equal zealous delusions on the loose in the streets.
Local CW shutdowns have happened already before.
since i am still "in" i "studied".
it takes all of 3 minutes to skim the article.
points;.
an outdated article, applicable to times when warm body presence was needed. and marriages of already committed pioneers, or folks with backup of well to do parents.
In today's labour, real estate market/ inflation, even one good earner can not provide solidly for the family or future, and wt has been proven to be very bad predictor of permanent relief. (ask your district overseers about the overlap)
this verse from the gospel of luke came to mind considering how many poor jws donate in the hope that they will get a new kingdom hall only to find out that their money have been stolen..
when they near death they realize that their hope of never dying has been stolen too, so, they , in desperation will will all their assets to the promiscuous promisor aka wt inc. to have an assured share in the resurrection.
assets, sometimes even diverted to the first tier of wt enforcers.
