hello everyone!
does anyone have any confirmation that the governing body uses the business class for its flights?.
also interesting is the information about the hours that were on the hand of one of the members of the governing body..
I had been arguing over this to my still in JW wife, who refuses to believe that the GB flies in business class. I even started a topic on this forum about this, a while back.
Flying business class is still a pipe dream for me and my wife. And my hard earned money goes as a donation to make these conmen fly business class, along with all the Luxuries in life
you've likely heard all this before, but i had to laugh (silently) at the public talk today.. he focused on how close we are to the end.
we're not only in the last days, but we're in "the final part" of the last days.. also, we are nearing "the end of the final part of the last days".
he didn't read any scriptures backing up how the last days are broken up like this.. i went today since relatives es were visiting, but it was more entertaining than usual.. as well, the gb isn't warning us about armageddon, rather they're mainly warning about the great tribulation, which is "very, very, close!
So Jehovah is going to Bring Armageddon without the truth being preached in North Korea and Saudi Arabia. This is very partial Jah.
i´ve come up with a partial list (i am only in 1 kings) of the many reasons and ways to die in the bible.maybe, when i am in revelation, i am going to share the full list.
how many do you think i´ll end up having??
number.
Stoning to death for picking up sticks on a Sabbath day
That is why I am terrified to do any work on Sundays.
i think congratulations are long overdue to the wt for the excellent job they do of keeping members dumbed-down and feeling safe inside the cocoon of a hive mind.
they tell us that the best education program in the world is reading the wt publications but here is a conversation i had with my uber elder buddy yesterday that may prove otherwise.
we were talking about the october broadcast and the question of whether gods name should be included or not, when i made an offhand comment about the compiling of the new testament and the canonisation of its books.
If at all the Bible is God word, he (God) should have provided it in all the languages of the world, written in pages of gold, or any more hard materials, that cannot be erased or altered in any form.
After all humans could create Read Only Documents. Why cant god ?
And It should contain real words of wisdom and fascinating truths about the Universe. Not "The Sun stood still for Joshua's Battle" types of ignorance.
did you get along with them?
did you ever incur their wrath?
most jws want to be “friends “ with the elders, kind of like having a policeman that you know who might help you out if you are in need..
I knew quite a few who were elders only to fulfil thier Egos, by contoliing others. Some were genuinely service oriented and humble (Brainwashed of course)
i was 5 years old when my mother was baptised.
we went from celebrating xmas to no presents or decorations.
we would still go to my unbelieving aunty's house on xmas day, all of my cousins would be playing with their new toys and would wonder why i didn't have any.
I was baptized into the cult at the age of 30. I am thankful to Jehovah for leaving me alone until then

....there are questions regarding it that each one who plays chess should consider.".

Aaha. What a truth revealed!!. I cant wait to refer this to my still in JW spouse who is a great chess player
quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.
however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.
i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.
People would return only for 2 reasons, IMHO:
THey left for some reasons, still believing its the truth and then return out of fear or guilt.
They left because they discovered its a cult but yet return for the sake of family.
i was searching for something online when i came across something that perked my interest.
i left the jws back in 2001, and have recently discovered that in 2013 they released a new edition of the new world translation of the holy scriptures.
but something i have also discovered it that they have omitted even more scriptures than what was in the 1984 edition as if that was bad enough.
So the Bible was god inspired and written by ancient Middle east men, then compiled by Romans where several books were excluded and others included - after a long debate - and then hand copied and sparsely distributed and when the Printing press came, printed and then translated into numerous versions, each version claiming itself to be authentic and now many verses removed, which had been taken very serious all these centuries.
Wow god’s Grand plan to save mankind is awesome.

This very much Proves that the Bible is not God’s word. Nothing else either.
