  What is behind your choice of forum user name?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

  there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

  i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

  Some of my elders had problems with my attitude for fast german sportcars.

  So every time they came up speaking about my "non-theocratic" cars - I replied with the bible story about Jehu.

  In germany normally we can drive without speed limit. So many people come from other countrys to germany to drive very fast on the german "autobahn" (my avatar shows the german sign for "autobahn" (highway).

  So for me it's freedom - freedom to drive without speedlimit.

  Learning TTATT - I could break free from all the Watchtower-"Limits".

  fastJehu - now driving(living) without cult (speed)limits.

  ============================================================

  (2 Kings 9:20)  And the watchman went on to report, saying: “He came as far as to them, but he has not returned; and the driving is like the driving of Jeʹhu the grandson of Nimʹshi, for it is with madness that he drives.. . .

  *** it-2 p. 23 Jehu *** As “the heaving mass” of Jehu’s horsemen and chariots came closer, the chariot driving of Jehu “with madness” identified him to the watchman on the tower.

  Hi Nikl, I know it's all digital these days, but do they still release new books at the assembles ?

  NO - only digital.

  A letter to the BOE told them, that in the first meeting after the assembly you can order 1 book per publisher.

  Reaction of Governing Body Belies More than their Accusation

  by carefullyread in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a disfellowshiped brother wrote a letter of disquisition to the governing body of wbts a little while ago.

  it was not in any way nasty, derogatory, rude, blasphemous, or with profanity but it was civil, truthful, & very informative that some have described as extremely truthful to enlightening, an ebullient disclosure.

  i got to see some paraphrases extracted from it that have been circulating quietly or rather secretly passed around & i agree with the latter description.. the governing body was greatly perturbed, alarmed, to confused with this letter particularly as they became aware several of the congregation were also sent copies which some of the local congregational elders raised controversial questions about but mainly was dismissed by them without reading, to scoffing & ridicule but some also saw something more truthful to concern them.

  @ OrphanCrow

  In the Submissions on behalf ofWatchtower Bible and Tract Societyof Australia & Others9 November 2015, this statement was made (pg 15):
  

  Child sexual abuse is a matter of concern to any right thinking parent or adult, and to see it only as an “institutional” problem would be to miss an essential truth: that much abuse occurs within families.

  Sorry - but I can't find this statement in the document within your link.

  Maybe the link is wrong.

  The WTS submitted a response to the ARC that claimed that they shouldn't be included in Australia's investigation into institutional abuse because...most of the JW cases were familial.

  Could you give me a link to the source, where I can find this statement?

  Thanks a lot for all your hard work and your research for safeguarding children.

  14 Evidence of angelic assistance.

  In the german version they replaced the word "Evidence" with the word "Indication".

  Why does the german branch translates this word not exactly???

  Do they know, that there is no evidence for angelic assistance???

  14 Anzeichen für die Unterstützung durch Engel. Heute hat die leitende Körperschaft die gewaltige Aufgabe, eine internationale Predigttätigkeit zu beaufsichtigen, an der sich über acht Millionen Verkündiger beteiligen. Warum ist diese Tätigkeit so erfolgreich? Unter anderem, weil Engel daran beteiligt sind. (Lies Offenbarung 14:6, 7.) In vielen Fällen haben Verkündiger bei Personen vorgesprochen, die gerade um Hilfe gebetet hatten.* Auch das allgemeine Wachstum des Predigt- und Lehrwerks, und das trotz heftigen Widerstands in einigen Ländern, war nur dank übermenschlicher Unterstützung möglich.
