Lloyd has said he wants to take his channel in new, different directions in the future.

Can we help him by suggesting some subjects/topics he could consider throwing his weight at??

Jehovah's Witnesses no longer count time. How is this news affecting moral and meeting attendance at local congregations?

by Balaamsass2 in

no more watchtower and awake mags every 2 weeks to place.

no private home book studies.

no more "essential" spiritual food meals 5x a week.

Ron.W.

Yes, I was wondering how moral and attendance was in the kingdom halls.

Have they managed to somehow put a positive spin on everything like they usually try to??

Trust Our (Neither Inspired Nor Infallible) Life Saving Direction?

by Ron.W. in

wt 2013 11/15 p. 20. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. wt feb 2017.

"the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

"The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction "

Are they trying to have their cake and eat it too?
to have or do two good things at the same time that are impossible to have or do at the same time.

This Generation/ 1975

by TxNVSue2023 in

i was born in 1977 & came in as a convert in 2003 --- so i have no idea what went on before my time.. however i have been familiar with the scriptures of "nobody knows the day or hour" & " it will come as a theif in the night" meaning that it was sure but unpredictable time.

how could anyone belive that anyone else ( organization or not) put a date on it?.

also what was the significance of 1975 anyway?

Ron.W.

Yes, it was well hidden from converts later on as you say.

I remember an elder telling me in the early 1980's that Fred Franz had a relative that was a massive, lying apostate.

Years later when I got to know Ray Franz via email and read his all books etc I realised that Ray was in actual fact an honest man of integrity that had taken a hard road out of the watchtower..

The last circuit overseer we had before I left was not a born in C.O.

The servants and elders meeting he took with us focused heavily on the evils of pornography.

He put down his notes at one point and said

"Brothers I was in the world for most of my adult life till I got the truth 25 years ago.I was in a rough and ready trade with rough men.

We all looked at pornography. - Figures (from memory) suggest 8/10 or was it 80 percent of men will look at some sort of pornography."

I think he was telling us all not to bullshit him as a former worldly man...
