  Does praying for “all those who are in positions of authority,” include the 'deep state' and all subsequent coverup's?

  by was a new boy in

  definition of deep state.

  : an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy.

  the power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values.

  The First to Timothy 2:1,2

  'First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men, concerning kings and all those who are in high positions, so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.'

  2Cor.4:4 The God of this system of things has blinded the mind of unbeleivers etc etc,

  Praying to the God of this system of things ? Who is in oppostition to what the true GOD of the Bible stands for ?

  If you beleive the Bible record ?

  will they start appointing "teen-agers"?

  who knows, nothing is shocking when it comes to the tower.

  paragraph 1 says: "teens or even "younger" for responsibilities in the congregation.. 2022-december-s-147-announcements and reminders.. click the image to enlarge.. page 1--https://postimg.cc/hhh8c3sd page-2--https://postimg.cc/pnzpzfjh if this keeps up they will be asking babies in diapers to give the instruction talks.

  Paragraph 1 says: "Teens or even "younger" for responsibilities in the congregation.

  If that doesn`t spell out desperation in the organizatiion I don`t know what will .

  They obviuosly don`t have anywhere near enough mature males to fill these roles.

  Next thing you know they will be appealing for sisters with head coverings to fill these vacant rolls as no qualified brothers are available.

  Watch this space .

  WT Ruining Members' Futures

  what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

  this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

  she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

  Maybe it all depends on the area you live in whether or not the borg counselled you or the R&F looked upon you as to whether you had a full time job or not and received benefits from your employer or not.

  I`m from the east coast of Australia and never had such a problem and am now well and truly retired living in my own home which I own outright.

  Ironically now that I look back to the first cong I attended the presiding o/seer and his flesh bro,the assistant o/seer were Life insurance sales people. LOL

  And I still didn`t wke up till many years later

  Hopefully they will over extend themselves money-wise and then crash ,and burn.

  After all they are / were a religion that promoted the end of this system of things in the generation that saw 1914 , then 1975 ,then the end of the 20th Century ?

  And now ?.............?
