  1975... the year that keeps on giving.

  by silentbuddha in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i recently moved back to my really really really small hometown in the south.

  it was the place that my parents moved to from a major city up north in the early 1970's.

  when we lived here times were very tough financially and i was always told that the reason we did not attend meetings was due to the fact that we had no car / no gas for the car / could not afford repairs for the years we were there.

  Given 1975 and that the date of Eve's creation is a variable: Adam was still a bachelor at age 42 -and counting. Fisherman/silent buddha.

  Am I allowed a korny original thought episode from that 42 + period? :

  Adam was looking then for appropriate names for the animals like "sloth". So he looked at the coiled snake, tightly hugging, encircling a tree and thought Circles?--Pie, 3.1426, lets call it : :--Pie..., no Python. The snakes learned to speak later, to naked ladies, and encircle prey only after the flood, which also left the speechless.

  forgive, mental gymnastics to keep a nearly 90 year old brain young.

  seen in the 03/2018 watchtower study :.

  "during the 2017 service year, more than 284,000 “rightly disposed” individuals symbolized their dedication to jehovah by water baptism.".

  menrov: What does it even mean, a person who is “rightly disposed”???

  In some Wt leaders cynical view: a naive convert, with a fistful of dollars for a green handshake, pioneer application, and ready to do anything to curry their god's favour.

  March 2018 Study Watchtower; WTBTS reinterprets scriptures - yet again!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 5, par.

  7 during the course of jesus’ earthly ministry, his disciples also performed baptisms.

  like those performed by john, these baptisms symbolized the individuals’ repentance over sins.......however, after jesus’ death and resurrection, baptism would take on a much different meaning for his followers.. (not according to acts 2:28 - “repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of jesus christ for forgiveness of your sins, (as well as matt.

  Sir, there were 489 non - partakers in that first special assembly, an early taste of the OS/AS (Anointed Sheep) divide to come in the 1930s.

  point being :there were always non-144kers on Earth. and even the 11 had partook with a confirmed Earthly Israel hope'

  March 2018 Study Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.

  there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.

  they try to impress on others the need for urgency.

  Wt may have lowered the age of consent, but even grown ups at their baptism do not understand, and are not advised what the clause " part of spirit directed organisation " really means.

  Bible writers should have thought of that, and included it in the earlier extant scrolls. drole.

  Wt prides itself on being the only true religion based on their "true", unique Bible interpretation doctrines. Exposures like the above demolish those claims. There can not be enough of them, even if only few are interested to read, and to be swayed by them. Proof has been published, ignoring it the becomes the non-readers problem.

  The Elephant in the room is of course the talking snake, walking on water story collection in the first place.

  500 assembled to have Jesus present ? in jws mind, that is a special assembly, can not be without new light, special announcement, Like "advertise, advertise the King [of 1914]--"

  we want people to learn ttatt.

  we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.

  however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

  Confrontation. This may be you approaching a jw at a cart.

  Jws have as matter of policy approached people at their doors, in the streets all the time, they are used to it, it can be done, if you are unknown to them in subtle ways. example

  On a resort Island approached a cart cherub, and said I have a bible question for you: Cain and Abel, what did Abel do with the leftover meat from the sacrifice-- answer: "discarded it."--" the dump perhaps?" -- "nn--jeah" " where the meat always went, because nobody even the dogs would eat it?" food -meat- for thought. hopefully.

  OC , Another photo would be the front cover of Maclean's magazine (year?) as "Man of the year" man o man.

  Yes, a JW at his core. Blaming everyone and everything else for the persecution that they themselves invited and not only that, desired

  Chapman and Greenlees, Covington, nice company.
