two things i noted at this year’s rc.
1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.
this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.
True, My JW wife has Claustrophobia - the fear of having no escape in a closed space
What a Psychologial manipulaters, these GB are
Yeah, There was a watchtower illustration too, about the "valley of salvation" the jws being led into a narrow gully. Others are afraid of heights, wt has a phobia for everyone. It must have been agoraphobia at the last convention.
re:' the doing of good', if this is true, wt has declared all to be "brothers of Christ" what a demotion for "partakers".
i see stories like this one, and think we are losing our way as a nation.
reverting to tribalism and racism.
i wonder if its always been there lurking beneath the surface, and it just took someone to encourage it a bit.. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/26/us/woman-berates-man-viral-rant-don-lemon-cnntv/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_content=2018-06-26t08%3a30%3a04&utm_term=link&utm_source=fbcnn.
Kudos for these hardworking latinos, excelling in 2 jobs. Was hosted by their countrymen during the 2017 eclipse, and they had the best tended gardens. pride in their share of US soil, but not soul.
If you do not assimilate, and as a result stand out, even are outstanding, it can backfire. Think of the jewish people in Germany, having more german names than the germans, outstanding in many fields. A truly sad story. Hopefully Israel is the safe way out. Putting distance between you and the others is a great idea. imho.
great to see such an eager young team.
harry kane is incredible.
oops..you'll have to click on the play on youtube link below.
no, it is a nightmare to find a live channel. it used to be easy, at least one major tv network carried it. what a mess.
you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.
anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?
so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.
not that I started to wake up then, which was decades away, but the first jolt was in 1958, walking between Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds, 2 stadiums in NY city that wt had rented. A big, 250 000 attendance, 6000 baptized convention. They just had demonstrated the new arrangement of sisters covertly teaching in the congregation by staging "conversations" under the supervision of a male.
Not that the better part of the human race has nothing to teach, but just new to the game I wondered, where did this come from? , after 1 Cor. 14 and 2 Tim 2 still fresh in my mind. What else in the bible will be cast aside?
This was supposed to be the wt Bible & t society inc,, headquartered just a few blocks away!
one of the things that really bothered me is how most of the book of revelation isn't understood by most jws.
most of the trumpets were already sounded many decades ago, is that still right?
it seems like most jws just look the other way.
I probably know more new stuff than they do
The problem is that the new permutations and refutations of the old ones are all like critiques of any fictitious story. ultimately entertaining, but not leading to serious results ( You can't tell me that you seriously believe in the base, the talking snake, carrion on Abel's altar, zombies walking into Jerusalem etc?
How about Babylon the Great not being Christendom but a bigger middle east based outfit?
look at what is happening in europe now, the filth that is trying to enter here.. https://youtu.be/putezss32m8.
uk.... https://youtu.be/jbvxndnd4t4.
All Europe needs now is a picture of migrants from Africa that had been on the Wandering Water taxies in the Mediterranean and unloaded in Malta, promptly arriving after a direct flight in Berlin Tegel, taking selfies with Merkel.-- widely seen in in the home countries.
New term for illegal aliens: "arrivals "--sickening propaganda.
Les "arrive' used to be a title for those that contributed extraordinarily to the fabric of the community, now they are the rivals for the shrinking public purse, resources.
the smart phone is a major factor in the changes that are happening in china's retail industry.
will your country also change?.

are you thinking of sex robots? not me!
i know someone who's family is very spiritual and says that her brother only pioneers and does not want to become an elder for various reasons, probably not wanting to deal with people's problems, and also the tremendous workload they put on them.
is this considered refusing advancement by god, or just choosing your own way?
he has not been "tapped" to become one, but he merely hasn't strived to become one..
bravo! if it is not your cup of tea.

we found ourselves in the wt Lord's day that started in 1914. 1919 was added since (F7DS appointment), overlapping generation aka 2 witnesses update?
New generation not interested anymore. Baptism without mentioning wt doctrines in preparations.
an elder in quebec, has just quit as a jw.
he did so by emailing nearly a thousand jw’s with the explanation for why he and his family are quitting.. i have spoke to him quite a bit, interesting guy.
he’s quite the loss to wt, he’s an elder with a serious career in chemistry, a professor no less.. catch his story here, apologies if this has already been posted;.
Was there not a previous thread on this, with elaborations on the wt inconsistencies he just barely touched?.
welcome back S&R,
