WatchTower Study 4 Sept, 2002

Ok Scully - I am gonna snag it!

ROLFLMAO@NOBODY?   thats funny

I'll take sloppy seconds!  This guy is too perfect.  The ultimate mascot for WBTS paranoia.  "Oh, Jehovah!  Those persons over there have Bibles!  And they are not part of US!"

LDH...... Sixteen paragraphs?  On the contrary, I remember those with 28-30 paragraphs (which quite often ended up going faster than the 16 graphers because the conductor took care not to talk too much lest he run way overtime).

So is Bill Bowen Korah?

 Who's Korah?

 

LOL@cruzanheart   Welcome to the board incase I missed your intro.

What a crock 0' s**T, comparing Korah and Bill Bowen and firends.

1) MOSES predicted 10 plagues, and they all came to be.  He predicted them IN ADVANCE, and in addition WHICH Plagues they were going to be.  And they happened in real life and time, and publicly not invisibly.

2) Moses said that if they put the blood on the doors, their firstborn (some scholars render it as 'chosen' or 'choice') would be spared. AND they WERE. 

3) Moses said they would be released and would leave Egypt.  And they were.

How Korah could rebel after SEEING all this, well who knows.  Worse yet, how the family could support him after all they had seen (according to the scriptural account).

THAT is what was so wrong with what Korah did. In actuality, anyone who SUPPORTS WAtchtower is a Korah according to the Scriptural account and principals.

Are these people TOTALLY unable to make one whole PAGE of a Watchtower without a blatant and flagrant lie, mistruth, representation--oh wait: Theocratic War Strategy.

 

The WT writers are real slick. How many rank and file sit with their eyes glazed over during WT study?  It is so easy for their minds to absorb whatever is fed to them - a recent WT had picture of the elders with a caption that says something about  "appointed elders" which is so close to "anointed elders."  Subtle and perhaps subliminal. But maybe I'm paranoid and picky. I see so much I didn't see before!

So the elders are now priests?  Good grief!  I noticed a couple of things that really bothered me. 

1)  "Godly arrangement".  Not GOD's arrangement.  Subtle but important difference.

2)  Notice how when there was a dispute between Moses Aaron and Miriam, the WT points out that God selects the one who he wants to use.  I haven't noticed any burning bush pointing toward Brooklyn.  Or was that on Dateline?  I suppose part of the "royal priesthood" imperfections is the "loving" attitude they show toward rape victims when they threaten them, bully them into not reporting the abuse to the police. 

Sorry but Tex is grumpy tonight . . . .

I wonder how they would squeeze that into the future litrature? The anointed must be appointed. And also appointed by those who meet the requirements to do the appointing of the anointing.

hear ye hear ye..there is much to much anointing going on. In order to make sure the anointed are really anointed they must be appointed but only after they answer this list of 235 questions composed by the high priests.

You're showing your age, Roomie! Didn't you know that Lisa's a young thing?

Actually, I can remember them LONGER than 30 paras at times.

Full of "meat in due season" they were, too!

Cheers, Ozzie

P.S. Nice to see some cheerful posts from Lisa again. Way to go!

LOL@Ozzie.

I guess I should have taken that into consideration first eh?

I can also remember when there was a time that the LAST thing on earth they would have referred themselves to/as

would be "PRIESTS"

Hello Plum,

a nice and intersting research on the Wt article.

Many good points to keep in mind.

Tex:  good comment.  Remember within  a  few decades

the elders , were ***promoted *** from elders to :

"glorious ones " which the Bible refers only to the

'anointed elders' in the apostles'  time.

This must have happened sometime between the early part of the 80's and 90's? I was out for approx 17 years before going back in the 90's, only to get upset again and leave in the late 90's. So I missed out on the "Glorious" Years I hadn't heard that phrase used, either that or I just didn't pay attention...which is also possible.
