by doubtfull1799 in“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

Can the GB be directed by Holy Spirit and at the same time be not inspired ?
by Chook inyes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.
so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..

For those that accept the bible as inerrant, which is it is not !! and the scriptures are inspired by "god", writing as the spirit moved, [directed] them?
wt almost claims equal authority.

Anointed Ratios
by Labate inanother recent topic got me thinking.
has there ever been any kind of study of the ratio of male to female anointed?
if the female anointed will be co-rulers in heaven with morris and company, why are they not represented as gb members and helpers before armageddon arrives?.

The difference between people on earth and heaven will be the removal of genitalia. Is that to indicate this is the main hindrance of women having positions of headship on earth?
something to think about. Men do have pathetic tiny breast left-overs. failed women they are! Or:
Quipped: men are more complete because they are equipped both top and bottom?
The problem was, that Eve did not have a coterie of fellow woman to confide with. Who would have thought of consulting a man?

Just heard that the WT sent money to help brothers in Russia
by Bonnie_Clyde inclyde and i had lunch with a friend who attended the assembly with his wife.
he told us that he was sure he heard that the wt had sent money to russia to help the brothers financially.
i told him that i heard the opposite....that they are directing witnesses to meet in private homes and set up a donation jar for the sole purpose of sending money to the wt, giving explicit instructions on how to transmit the funds.

"..Donation Jar.." is a new idea, it would be visible what just was put in. not pleasing putin.

Neutered New World
by Labate inif, as jesus said, there is no marriage in the afterlife, will our sex drive be removed?.
sex without marriage is fornication, which is a no-no.. if i were young and healthy, being surrounded by young, healthy women, having the normal male libido would hardly be paradise..

Isaiah 65, which wt applies to the live entrants into the new world, speaks of them as " ..not bring to birth for disturbance..."so,
unless you are child of the resurrection, with no navel, there should be an erection. but you would be in an envied minority. but there is always surgery and hormone treatments.
Heavenly resurrection? no barrier to sex, thing pre-flood fun.

one of the qualifications for rulership in the 1000 years is to have been martyred with the literal cutting edge technology of Re.20 : the axe. That would cut down the ratio of woman, which is a pity***. We have examples of ladies ruling, Thatcher and Merkel.
The bible aside though; Nature appears to reward success and we all are the fruit of the great work of the female enterprise. Even the Universe can be thought of as being hatched inside the domain of a female creatrice.
*** sorry, I did not mean more ladies should have met their fate in Tower of London, or like Marie Antoinette. More ladies should be ruling? Palmyra the Queen, prettiest King of the South you have ever seen?

Were You Surprised You Remained a JW As Long As You Did?
by minimus inwe have been told there's no place else to go.
and to some degree mentally speaking, that is true especially if you were raised in the religion.
at 50 i was out of the organization's clutches.

In case you are waiting to come back, for the whole mess to be cleared up back, remember, it took "Jesus" 10 days to reach heaven, and send the HS, The universe is expanding, it might take way longer for your hopes to come true.
Correcting it all, starting with Genesis 1:1 false Earth beginning to the "soon" in Rev. 22.

The heavenly rulers up there are supposed to represent a cross section of all human experience, so expect to have all kinds of "anointed', and we do!.
jezebels, with ruling experience, need not apply, ruling ( or want to) already.
