@John Houston  The first time on global JW Broadcasting as a global teacher.

Funny how they can't do it from the platform in a hall or convention site.....but they can to a GLOBAL audience via TV Evangelism.

 

So the scripture should now read... be silent... unless you are looking straight into the camera for TV Evangelism?

Or maybe it should say ... just do stand up like a man during TV Evangelism? For that would be wrong.

 

In 30 years JW Broadcasting will be using blonds in tight dresses to read a teleprompter like FOX news and say... "They aren't teaching... they are just reading".....our words.  And since they are prettier to look at than Geoffrey Jackson... it helps keep our illiterate viewership tuned in.

Dude.....smh, maybe if you spend less time bashing Jehovah, the congergation  and the bible you'll notice and understand things.

Give me the scripture relating to the sisters being a army preaching. Find the publication, video of sisters carrying the mic.

The Watchtower opinion of women and rape in the following articles is terribly disturbing; in particular the parts highlighted in bold. A reader cannot help but wonder what type of brothers wrote these articles and the unnecessary guilt it has placed upon Witness victims of rape.

This attitude is inculcated from a young age. In the online version of My Book of Bible Stories story 20 (18th Jan 2015), after discussing the rape of Dinah, asks the question, "Why did Dinah bear a measure of responsibility for losing her virginity?" What sick mind would indicate to a rape victim they were responsible for "losing her virginity", let alone include it in a story for children.

What are you reaching for? A. Your not governed by that Law anymore. The principal still stands. Rape was big in the 80's...It became a joke/norm for women to say "I'd just give it to him"  a scream shows it is unwanted.

Obviously sick minds don't make since so let's use your wife,mom, sister or...Your daughter. Now this little hoe has all her cleavage showing, her g-string seen thru that white mini skirt. She's intoxicated...She's rubbing up on this guy and touching his chest. He's grabbing her buttocks but she's laughing. He's overhead asking her to come with him. They go out to his car, get into the back seat and begin kissing. Is that appropriate for your wife/sister/mother? Is she leading him on or adding fuel to the fire?  So he pulls her panties down. YOUR DAUGHTER...YOUR BABY GIRL is giggling saying no softly as she kisses him. He is getting turned on the more she whispers no and kisses him. Mind you patrons of the bar are outside smoking wishing they were this lucky guy. They can somewhat see the show. Now they exit the car, she goes off he returns to the bar getting high fives from the guys. So the Ryan girl now says rape??? She never screamed, she led him on, she engaged in kissing.

In God's eye and the Christian  congregation  I'd believe one might see it as her fault. No woman is AT FAULT for being raped but if it was MY wife I'd have to wonder why she flirted. Why didn't she try and escape/fight/scream? In some situations people can freeze up. Freezing up is the wrong answer. Your fighting for your life PERIOD.

Jack Ryan I took this personal because  your attacking Jah and those who sat down as a group...reseached,discussed and prayed for Holy Spirit to direct them on finding the correct answers to give to the flock.

Jehovah loves her just like the man who comes into her life wants to love her. Knowing the world we live in one must be aware of many things . She must fight, yell to get help. If in fact someone hears her cry for help the crime is prevented and this woman isn't violated and left to feel shame.

 

Everyone is inspired.

Is Jehovah  picking certain ones to tell things to?

Yes He is. Reading that bible is like talking to God.

Is Jehovah  ONLY inspiring Jehovah Witnesses?

No....anyone can seek Him and He can,will and does give direction to all those seeking THRU His Holy Spirit.

Is the GB INSPIRED to learn more, seek direction thru His Word?

YES!!!

Are answer to questions handed to the GB? Does Jehovah talk out decision with the GB?

I honestly don't need to reply to that do I?

This is minor....Thru Jesus we were able to come to Jah thru prayer. We have that HELPER...so with that we are 10x closer to Him. 

His inspired Word

We have inspirations

Because of Him we were inspired to dig a little deeper.

This isn't a smack in the face.....this fortified the love He has for mankind. Even the greatest is least. 

No, 

It isn't a rejection of past teachings...It is a change in teaching. Better yet, it is a change in the understanding.  How many Surgeon  Generals warnings have been rejected by new Surgeon  Generals? How many doctors rejected the course of treatment that was ONCE considered normal procedure? Remember when chlorine was considered the ingredient to kill any germ in swimming pools? 

As we grow...go further, things change. Either it is because we got smarter or we finally understood what we(Jehovah) already knew(was telling us thru His Holy Spirit)

We ASK for Holy Spirit on matters. We ASK and He gives. So those asking receive.

If I think outside of bible teaching on a matter....I will sit with the brothers. Prior to diving into the discussion they(the brothers) will pray for His Holy Spirit so that I may see for myself the biblical principles on the matter. So when 2 or more come together to pray.....HE IS THERE WITH US. 

I forgot, what were you saying?

”Jehovah leads and feeds those in the earthly part of his organization by means of “the faithful and discreet slave” under the direction of Christ, the “head of the congregation.” w16 November pp. 14-18

If these men were “inspired”, the above statement would be true.  It takes inspiration from Holy Spirit, for them to receive Christ’s direction. Spirit must be infused in the person to guide them in the way of Christ; but we have it in print, that it is not the case with the GB. 1 John 2:4; 1 John 3:24

Instead, they rely on the voting system. It once was a required two-thirds majority in favor of passing new rules or doctrine; which at least you could understand that individuals had the freedom to reject an idea; although I was shocked that voting was even considered.  Now, the GB must be 100 percent in agreement when passing new rules/doctrine. 

How many teachings of past leaders have been rejected by today’s leaders?  How far back does it go, that Wt’s leaders were not inspired?  Whether two-thirds or 100 percent needed to agree on doctrine by men admitting to not having inspiration, it is apparent that it began with Russell. 

Maybe this new GB member is not rule-oriented, but it really doesn’t matter.  He must go with the flow, and it may be a rude awakening for him. 

These scriptures have spiritual fulfillment today:

“Jesus called them over and said, “You know that the rulers (elder body) of the Gentiles (those not anointed) lord it over them,

and those in high positions (GB) act as tyrants over them. 

 It must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you (among the anointed chosen Body of Christ, since Jesus was speaking to his future apostles) must be your servant*, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave*;  just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”  Matt 20:25-28

*This is not the practice with the GB.  They authorize their appointed rulers (elder body) to judge their fellow anointed slaves as not worthy of spiritual life.  Are they serving their brothers in Christ, or condemning them through acts of tyranny?  Matt 24:48-51; 1 John 2:9-11; James 2:4  Uninspired men fabricate rules and doctrine that every JW must obey, and it is called guidance from God through Christ – or from a “spirit-directed organization”.  I imagine in my mind a looming spiritual power within the world since that is where it is physically built and seen, breathing a spirit, but not from the Almighty God.  1 John 2:15-17; Eph 2:1,2; Rev 13:11-15

Without holy inspiration, in what manner does God and Christ guide the organization?  The GB? The members?  It can be said a thousand times that God directs the organization, the “faithful slave”, the elder body – yet one slip of truth will wipe out each and every one of those false claims.  That being, the Governing Body is not inspired by Holy Spirit; and if they are not inspired by God's spirit, neither is the organization.    1 John 2:27,18,19; Mal 3:18; Matt 24:4,5

 

And after putting 40 years into His service your upset. It is easy to find fault. To feel Brother he did it too should have suffered the way you did. Maybe Jah sees things different. Maybe after 40 yrs you feel this world has much more to offer...maybe this world will continue as it is. 

You know better....your better then this. Satan is enjoying this. He is laughing at YOUR expense. How proud can you be to be with a family that isn't to proud to say WE MISPOKE? Not missing a beat but go on TOGETHER learning more and more? Find that love once again, allow Jehovah to accept your apology.  Heal yourself and share the love you once had with unbelievers.

left in 2015, after 40 years  

So are you wanting to return? Or are you now into criticizing?

None of us know how Jehovah will change things up. Meaning we might have been right about some things and wrong about some. But we keep searching, asking and with our own minds we end up grasping what is to be known. What you knew in 2015.....might be adjusted,  different or more precise today.

All due respect but your comments are as if your angry unbelieving now. That would be considered going against the spirit yes? Out of all you once knew....the love you once had, isn't it respectful NOT to comment so as to not mislead a fragile mind?

Correct. And then we have;

a) pray has not ended in Heaven (because of clouds of all sorts)

b) pray was not make God to be pleased 

c) God decide not to answer

d) God let that "spirit of deceive" acting

e) God answer but human interpret His words wrongly

f) something else

 

Are you a witness? 

Reread Saturday's Daily text. For those who seem to be negative we all are imperfect. When the light gets brighter.....we change according to the new knowledge 

Wasn't this just answered last week? That answer is NO. They pray for insight and they can be wrong. No one person is higher then another in the GB. This is WHY positions and duties change yearly.

Not!!! He is with his wife looking with lustful eyes at another woman

Funniest stuff ever. Contrar to popular belief the hebrew language  DID have vowels. They were like heirogrifics. So Jehovah  WAS used in spelling. The crying sister couldn't  believe  the disrespect  shown. How angry are you to go to such lengths? Blood???? Family cut off????

We were told communication  with family  members was fine. Just not on spiritual matters
