one thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.
it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.
it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

You are quite correct and that is exactly what I see ?
Jehovah is portrayed in white with a yellow glow around him and Jesus is on his right hand side in a blue/green / garment.
Maybe it might help to use a magnifying glass on your PC get a clearer picture.
Admittedly it is very difficult to make out ,but I assure you it is their.
i don`t think so .
hasn`t science ,astronomy ,time , .....proven it an illogical beleif ?.
with the information about this solar system and it`s planets ,other stars and their planets that we have information about ,and the fact that no god has ever revealed him/her self in any shape or form 'there is no evidence that a creator / god has ever existed.. except in the minds of humans who want to control a section of humanity .. the fact that religions rely on "you have to have faith" to beleive in a god ,surely is a cop out.. i look forward to your comments .. and a happy new year to you all..
The question of course that we are all avoiding comes down to if there was nothing to begin with and GOD decided to create the universe and us on earth where did he ? come from ?
IF one GOD existed in the distant past somehow, why not 2,3 or many more ?
I know there is no answer to that question just as there is no answer to how things exist without a GOD .
But getting back to the OP ,there is no scientific reason in this day and age to beleive in a GOD simply because "it" doesn`t make itself known ,doesn`t communicate and expose itself , and simply prove to humanity of it`s existence ?
Simple ,not hard .?
If it did any of those things many more of us WOULD bow down and serve "it"

curious.
time goes by so fast.
who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?
Oh ,I certainly remember the 1975 fiasco ,when tey tried to palm it off onto over zealous bros, running ahead of themselves .
As for the Superior Authorities they first taught that it was the worldly govts /authorities etc ,then they had new light and went with Jehovah God and Christ Jesus as the Superior authorities ,then lo and behold more new light flashed and they reverted back to the World Govts and authorities .
You can`t make this stuff up ,how JW`s can flip /flop from one extreme to another .

IS it just me ? Regardless of whether this guy Lloyd is an asshole / saint or whatever in most peoples eyes ,I just can`t beleive so many pages have been spent in debating this guy`s life style ? Over such a long period of time ?
Get a life people ?
I`m sick of turning on this site and here is another post about Lloyd and his exploits ?
Can we get off Lloyd and his shennanigans and get back to some wholesome discussions ?
Give me a break.
i don`t think so .

something jumped out at me that i never paid attention to while reading further into matt 26...in vs 28, he tells them his blood is to be poured out for the many for forgiveness of sin.
but note vs 29 but i say to you: i will no menas drink again any of this product of the vine until that day when i drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father.
cross reference luke 22:18 for i tell you , from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.. what is the point of all of this: matt 26:29 " i drink it new with you " mark 14:25 " drink new in the kingdom of god.
After reading all of these posts ,i am now only going to drink alcohol three days a week ,yesterday ,today and tomorrow !
wow.
while not a pew survey, i found these to be surprising results.
" a recent yougov poll explores americans' attitudes toward 35 religious groups, organizations, and belief systems.
I have to agree with Jan on this one Slim,
To me he was saying that JWs would equate themselves with the early Christians.
For what it`s worth .

I think some of you guys need glasses ?LOL ,because what I see in that picture is two beings sitting together ,one in white with the yellow glow surrounding his head is Jehovah and sitting next to him on his right hand is Jesus .
I completely agree with eyeslice post.
how can i report a corruption in a kingdom hall?
can i escalate this to the jw headquarter?
any suggestions are appreciated..
Even children if they are publishers and do D2D witnessing and are baptized are ordained ministers.
or were when I was a JW many years ago.
