How To Talk About Interpretation With Jehovah's Witnesses.
by Vanderhoven7 inthis from my book: good news for jehovah's witnesses.
before we discuss any doctrinal issues, i would like to distinguish between what i believe is proper versus improper interpretive practice.... so you know what i can accept as biblical and what i can't accept.. basic guidelines for validating doctrinal claims`).
i. there must be at least one scriptural reference that can be cited for support of any doctrinal claim or position.. ii.

They often cite their door-to-dor fieldwork ministry as "good works" when in fact they are spreading an extra-biblical gospel which is foreign to scripture. There are no rewards for that. VDHo
wt cites the sheep and goat judgment , as deeds done to "Christ brothers" but that was to the least, of anonymous ones, and true humanitarian tasks only, not for the adored bigwigs in Brooklyn / Warwick, in their sales campaigns.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?
by Simon ini saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

yes I am worried, have to pay the house taxes this month, went from $4 000 to $5 000, 25% inflated. In the meantime the bank pays me 2% on the accounts.
bananas are still bargains though, and so is fixed rate borrowing.

Aussies closed all the coal power plants...now we have blackouts no electricity!
by Witness 007 inso we have been "green" blowing up all our coal power plants now they are saying we are like north korea...expect regular power blackouts.
who is running this show?.

It is the coal that is exported and burned that is polluting and warming the planet. A Manhattan Project - style effort to create passive cool building codes, energy storage, would go a long way, to make it work .locally
Australia is so well endowed for this work, sun, empty space, and of course already is first in using wave power. surf[ing] is up.

How true. And our interpretation of the Bible and of Bible prophecy is also progressive like solving a crossword puzzle. Our algorithm is to use the Bible to interpret the Bible. bold added
Fisher, man : good analogy! imagine a crossword puzzle where the wrong words are weekly printed, and readers are threatened with eternal death if they do not buy into that current, but guarantied false picture. and are weakly taught to teach theses falsehoods to others. and,
wt's 100% failure rate on predictive prophecy must show you that there is something seriously wrong with your algorithm.
Try math, science instead. and the good, and well meaning suggestions in all the correspondence you have received over the years. (from the "Joseph" class.) remember the outcome.

At the beginning there was a 50 day delay between partaking and the shine around the head, then even partaking was dispensed with, for the military.

Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." (Watchtower, September 1, 1989 p. 19) VH,
This premise has changed of course, wt's new light has it the anointed [generation] will not survive Armageddon, but be gone at the outset of the Great Tribulation, unlike the anointed of the first century generation, in the first fulfillment.
It wt can not even get the generation right, how do they dare promise survival?
The overlap is the final lapse. in the 100% failure record.

often wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses seem to spend so much time in the Old Testament. tbk
Such as the current weekly treatment of David.
A war criminal that would be hanged beside Goering at Nuremberg. A collector of human skin surpassing Ilse Koch. A pervert having an exclusive taste fro other men's wives. A bandit leader using death threats to extort his payouts. making bad decision that needlessly killed tens of thousands on and on. declaring himself to be a man according to the deity's heart.
no clear speak in the congregations.

Conducting a home 'bible' study using the brown "let God be True" book, and being berated by the Baptist householder on the superior Authorities being, according to the wt doctrine, Jehovah and Jesus. then, coming home and having on my bed, in the newly arrived brown wrapper, the wt subscription (free for special pioneers).
Skimming through, finding on the last page, "question from readers" that wt had removed The Father and Son from their position in worldly government.. then,
as wt conductor having to encourage the congregation to read that magazine in full, with that "new light"
In other words. The churches, (very powerful in that territory) Babylon the Great was right all along, wt was wrong.
Had that brownity feeling, Found out since, that most of the stuff is wrong anyway. even the brown nosing in the org. up to the doctrine directors.
