jesus, himself tells us just how important it is.
Revelations 5:9-10 was an eye opener for
me when I was waking up. In the inter linear it says they reign on the earth and no mention of being kings just priests. So according to the actual Greek I found that no where in the New Testament does it say any Christian will be a king. But more importantly these verses show the whole idea of a special cast of humans exalted to kings and ruling over the earth is complete bullshit.
i was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.
the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.
since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.
So did he marry a non witness?
last thursday i bunch of us working decided we were going to head down to the state fair and badge our way in to get a fletcher's corny dog for lunch.
we had to go to a specific gate to park and show our credentials to get in.
this meant driving halfway around the perimeter of the entire fairgrounds.
Wow Hari Krishna is what they’ve become.
i used to be a staunch believer in god.
maybe its technology and science advancing so much thats got me doubting idk.
do you believe in god?
If one opens his/her eyes to all the crap that’s going on in the world and has in the past along with all the bad things that happen to people one can only come to the conclusion that either there’s no god or he doesn’t care.
if you went to it, (or go later this week) how was it handled?
just the video or some commentary too?.
i have heard of a few negative comments from some that attended - one jw even openly said to me "not very encouraging, all they go on about is money lately" and another (a serving elder, no less) said "someone's got to pay for all those lawsuits".
So let me get this strait, if I have a biblical question or questions concerning doctrine I need to write a physical letter address it to bethel and send it through the postal service and then wait weeks possible months to get a response also sent through the mail. But if I have a question concerning how to go about donating anything of value to them I can call a hotline and have my questions answered right away. Very telling, very telling indeed!!
how would the gb, do, co, bethelites, elders, pioneers, etc list their now-meaningless positions on their resume?
.
Man that would be awesome to see . All the friends walking around not knowing what the hell is going on asking elders what do we do and just so out of place. It would be great , I would bring some popcorn.
ask any jw this one question.
are there any apostles from the 1st century still walking the earth alive today ?.
100% will say there are no apostles from the 1st century alive today.
You guys need to study the older Egyptian religion and its teachings , you'll come to realize who the new Jerusalem is actually and why it's a female . You'll also understand what the Kingdom is and why Christ is in you .
just talking to someone recently about former co's in our area.
it went as follows,,,,george cook,saw that he was now in princes congregation or should say the former prince.. brother gwaltney,,nw usa area now drives a school bus his wife sold cosmetics at a nordstrom.
brother spangenberg had to leave co work as his wife was sick ,,went to low paying menial job.. brother ---- cant remember his name but he is now working a a waiter in a italian restaurant,,singing as requested by customers.
I remember spangenburg and have been to the restaurant where the other CO works. Crazy small world of delusional people.
well went on a vacation cross country for 10 days to see relatives, and so decided to drop in on my old kingdom hall to get a look at some old friends i haven't seen in more the 27 years.. came in around 1:15 pm middle of the public talk wearing tight fitting jeans and an old sweat shirt, and sat down in front of person i served with as an elder.
the talks was so boring i can't remember a word of it, i can only recall that it was very disjointed with tremendous leaps in logic, so that my mind could not and would not follow the speaker.
watchtower study was a complete brain shrinking repeat of putting on the new personality or something, with the conductor fishing for baby food comments where none of the 3 or 4 young ones gave any comments only the hard core braindead were answering.
I like how they chased you and then wanted to find out why you were there. I mean unless their a cult why would they do that. Let's not mention if growth was so great there would be visitors all the time and you being there would be no big deal so no need to chase after you as you left. Freaks!!!!
i haven't been on here much, but every so often i try and keep up with the discussions.
i'm sure this topic has been talked about before, so my apologies in advance if i'm repeating.. a little about me.... i'm a non baptized jw married to a devout jw.
both my husband and i were raised in the organization.
Doing things like Christmas is not going to help until you show them from the Bible that's is a conscience matter, romans chapter 14 and Colossians chapter 2
