Spirit Directed Organization..How?
by Blueblades incorrect me if i'm not understanding this phrase, 'spirit directed organization'.. my understanding is that the watchtower has recently taught ( someone may remember the exact watchtower that this was taught ) that the anointed and every jehovah's witness has the same holy spirit, no more no less.. nothing special is directing the watchtower society when it comes to understanding the scriptures.
.
why then do they keep on using this phrase, that they are being directed by holy spirit and still use it when asking one of the baptism questions.. if they have no 'special knowledge', how is it that they write talks about being directed by holy spirit especially when it comes to distrct convention talks.. blueblades.

Let the mystery be.
by Blueblades inwe all start out as children, uninformed and totally impressionable.
our parents get first crack at us and glue down the first layers in our pyramid of thought.
like going to church, accepting jesus as our savior etc.

What is your experience with a Philosophy class?
by Blueblades instudents wandering into a philosophy class are usually hoping to gain some perspectives on, say, the meaning of it all, but then some rumpled guy in mismatched tweeds ambles up to the podium and starts lecturing on the meaning of "meaning.".
first things first, he says.
before we answer any questions, big or small, we need to understand what the question itself signifies.
