Quote @TrueTomHarley This is not to say that JTR is one of those who want to “kill the [Jehovah’s Witness] body.” He is more like the one who saws off the branch on which he sits, confident that only good can come of it.
Dear Tom, do you think there are those on here that wish to kill the whole JW Org / Watchtower Soc ?
I for one do not want to see the complete destruction of JW Org or W/t. I thought I would make that clear to you and everyone else. Only God through Christ will make the judgement of the JW Org and Watchtower soc. If God and Christ want those two organisations to stand, then stand they will. However, to myself and others, it is plain to see that the GB will need replacing or reproving, and the JW Org / W/t will need cleansing.
The Nation of Israel was shaken about and cleansed many times, but it still stood whilst God wanted to use it. Do you think the JW Org / W/t soc cannot be treated the same way ?
So will God / Christ put the true Anointed into power in the JW Org / W/t Soc, or will God / Christ completely replace those organisations with a new Org ? It is not for us to guess or judge. But we do know that ALL false religion has to be destroyed.
On the contrary, I do know what I am talking about, for I had been vocal about Russia even before this ban and the State Duma adding new laws to hinder the people, as is with the Nanlvy Heroes targeted on the FSB face track site.
One does not have to be of the faith community to know where they stand, as is with all faiths. My only problem is slander, glasglow boy.
And yet you pull their source in order to mold it into some made man concept that goes around of what they are conveying.
According to the former JW who knows enough in this domain, his word speaks more volume than your word, with evidence to this which can easily be quoted.
To save this particular wholesome tree with a diseased branch, I would indeed saw off the branch on which I sit ... and as I fell to my death, would be happy that the tree would live.
I have done it before, and lived through it.
Wanna zee mah skars?
Better still .... go to YouTube and watch the episode of the old TV show "Branded", titled "McCord's Way" with Chuck Connors playing a disgraced Army Officer.
The last scene even shows the sawed off branch you spoke of, as the survivor rides off into the sunset.
You make a LOT of unsupported assertions about Scott Adams, TTH .... but I did notice quite glaringly, is that YOU DID NOT ADDRESS ANY ISSUES THE CARTOON BRINGS UP.

Besides, under United States Copyright Law, it is legal to use someone else's work in it's entirety if it is for the purposes of satire.
That is why Michael Jackson never sued Weird Al Yankovich for using his music in its entirety to Jackson's "Beat It", for Yankovich's production of "Eat It"
If there is not already the label of "Third Person Ad-Hominum Attack", I am creating it here, just to have a label of your invoking the personage of Scott Adams to divert the discussion from issues that really matter!, to try and castigate me.
The issues I highlighted are what is important! ... not me ripping off today's Dilbert Cartoon, which I did, and it is quite legal to do.
Sigh ..... now I have to try and find a cartoon of someone that looks like you, that I can redo as the lovable but agenda driven character "TTom Ad Hominum".
...you, like my 18 chickens, are fun to watch .... but a LOT of trouble.
Part of a series on: Jehovah's Witnesses
A number of corporations are in use by Jehovah's Witnesses. They publish literature and perform other operational and administrative functions, representing the interests of the religious organization. "The Society" has been used as a collective term for these corporations. The oldest and most prominent of their corporation names, "Watch Tower Society", has also been used synonymously with the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, even in their own literature.[1] Particularly since 2000, Jehovah's Witnesses have maintained a distinction between their corporations and their religious organization.[2][3] About 4300 Jehovah's Witnesses in the USA provide voluntary unpaid labor, as members of a religious order (see logo below) and are part of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah's Witnesses
Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania
See Main article:
Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania is a non-stock, not-for-profit organization[4] headquartered in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, United States. It is the main legal entity used worldwide by Jehovah's Witnesses, often referred to as "The Society". It holds the copyrights of most literature published by Jehovah's Witnesses. The society was founded in 1881 with William Henry Conley, a Pittsburgh businessman, as the first president and Charles Taze Russell as secretary-treasurer.[5] The society was incorporated as Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society in Pennsylvania on December 15, 1884, with Russell as president.[6] The corporation was officially renamed Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1896; similar names had been in unofficial use since at least 1892.[7]

Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. (originally called the Peoples Pulpit Association of New York) is a corporation used by Jehovah's Witnesses, which is responsible for administrative matters, such as real estate, especially within the United States. This corporation is typically cited as the publisher of Jehovah's Witnesses publications, though other publishers are sometimes cited. The corporation's stated purposes are: “Charitable, benevolent, scientific, historical, literary and religious purposes; the moral and mental improvement of men and women, the dissemination of Bible truths in various languages by means of the publication of tracts, pamphlets, papers and other religious documents, and for religious missionary work.”[8] See also: Watchtower Real Estate News and an example of it's investment portfolio strategy

International Bible Students Association
International Bible Students Association is a corporate not-for-profit organization used by Jehovah's Witnesses in the United Kingdom. Some Jehovah's Witnesses publications cite this corporation as publisher or co-publisher.[citation needed] It was founded in 1914 as a corporation of the Bible Students by Charles Taze Russell in London, England, and was the first legal corporation representing Russell's ministry in Europe. Along with their Pennsylvania and New York based corporations, Watch Tower publications since 1914 have stated: "All three of these corporations were organized for identical purposes and they harmoniously work together."[20] Later corporations, such as in Canada, were similarly named. The name continues to be used for corporate entities (for example, in East Africa), but in 1931 the religion formally changed its name worldwide from International Bible Students Association to Jehovah’s witnesses.
Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Britain Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Ireland
Other corporations
Since the formation of the International Bible Students Association, many other legal entities sanctioned by the Governing Body have been used throughout the world to further the interests of Jehovah's Witnesses.[21]Typically these are synonymous with the branch offices in various countries.

In some countries, Jehovah's Witnesses use the corporation name Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, or a similar name translated into the local language. In 2005, the branch office in Canada began using this name for a separate Canadian entity for most correspondence, while retaining Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada for other matters. Literature of Jehovah's Witnesses has also referred to the religion generally as the "Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses".[22][23][24]

Of course, this can happen as an individual, or as an institution .... and in either case some people and institutions are DETERMINED NOT to learn the lessons from History.
Even though the following cartoon is on the surface about "1975" ... in reality it is about "Overlapping Generations", when viewed through the lens of History.
@Space Merchant I remember you said you were baptize in some waterfall area in islands. But yeah, Frida is always like this when he knows he is wrong he struggles to get out of it. Anyone who reads the Bible can see clearly what is said and and understand how some things played out. But I gotta admit tho, a lot of people will say we cannot answer anything because we don't rely on Scripture, but when discussing with someone who isn't in our faith they try to be a as smooth as a pearl to try so hard to not be wrong. Frida does what he does, and he took this L.
And I really do not care of what they follow,
Upps, well by such feelings in your heart, you expressed in your own words .......... reveals a lot to me, and maybe to others who will read your text too.
no need to search, they are banned in Russia as well
you forgot to quote the part where I said " so what".
The fact that they named each kingdom hall means nothing. The broad statement of banning the jws is sufficient to get the point across. I think the added mention of each and every kh is just hype for jws to get their persecution hats on. Since there are more religions being persecuted in Russia than just jws It must mean that mormanism and scientology are the true religions also. Don't cha think?
What I accept is what the passage says.
What do not accept is your claim of the donkey preaching the gospel of the Christ, as well as praising Jesus when he has not even come to earth by means of Mary yet.
Fish Flailing will not rescue you from the stupidity engineered by your own hands.
Speaking about stupidity, you are interjecting things into the focus of discussion in hopes of avoiding what you said. That is also another stupid mistake.
God's Will? lol? What was in God's Will regarding the donkey.
I need not to because I spoken such in both page 2 and 3.
Anything to discern stupidity, ignorance and a man who slanders on an equal fitting as Satan himself.
That being said, I guess because the Bible is too many in words and passages, you don't take the time to read it.
Therefore, all your claims are unfounded ans utter lies in the face of what is actually true.
Also I am waiting on this comment of yours regarding simplified editions comment.
If you are going to say I said something, get a direct quote of me saying it. I am not debating left wingers and right wingers so I have the time and patience.
But by all means, continue to make a fool of yourself regarding a direct biblical discussion, for it immortalizes who you are to everyone eye.
And your point?
lol, jumping to Matthew and Mark now? The context of this verse, well, the passage itself is regarding Jesus' prophecy whereas the Romans had rendered the city of Jerusalem and her temple to ruin, sections of the wall stand, but evidently battered, but the city itself has been laid to waste.
As we can see from the passage, it is referring to a literal city - Jerusalem.
lol I like the fact now you are dodging your own claims about stones. So tell me Srecko, why jump to Jerusalem now when you attempt to bring forth an exegesis on sentient stones of which you claim is mentioned in Luke 19?
As I suggested? Where have I suggested simplified edition articles?
My only sources were:
A Bible (NASB/ESV) and a Dictionary
The problem here is that you claimed the Donkey was not just preaching the gospel of the Christ, but you said the donkey, an animal, as is, all animals praise the Lord, Jesus.
We know here that you lied, and speak deception when Numbers 22 tells us the truth.
To be blunt, Ba'laam was going to harm to God's people, and on his way, God caused the Donkey to speak, in order to halt Ba'laam in his tracks, or the end result was Ba'laam being slain by an Angel of Yahweh, despite this, Ba'laam was hardheaded in regards to reason, which fits the bill with you in this sense.
But carry on to continue making a fool of yourself because it shows how the lack of Bible reading, Srecko.
That being said, next time you make a claim of something, back it up with Scripture for there is always a how, when and why to something. It is understandable to make mistake, no one is immune to this, but to willfully thread with deception reveals who's table you sit on.
I am still waiting on your claim regarding baptism. The fact you haven't brought this up, as is with stones and animals preaching the gospel, makes you a lair in every sense; your appeal to motive tactic doesn't work with me either because I been down that road for a long time.
I do not know if you did this on purpose, but starting a 1-to-1 debate with a legitimate debater and having your tail between your legs was probably your most biggest mistake.

Hope this helps you.
I would suggest you download them before the Watchtower Lawyers get involved, and have them removed, as if they were a military secret.
The things that should be confidential, is information involving INDIVIDUAL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.
All else is petty tyranny ... because you CAN!
It's a slippery slope, that ALWAYS leads to the same pit.
This is to all JWs.
Wouldn’t God expect a product of real truth from his anointed ones? IF they remain in Christ, Jesus promised he would send the Helper who would tell them, “all things”, which would be truth. What sort of “things” has the GB passed on to its followers? John 14:26 “Beliefs Clarified”.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me. John 15:5
Which means, without remaining in Christ, they cannot produce lasting fruit or teachings. Without remaining in Christ, their teachings rot and need replacing. Matt 7:17-20 This is the spiritual scene in the exalted “Jehovah’s organization”, where the leaders suppress the knowledge of Christ and heighten the “knowledge” of 8 men.
When the nation of Israel did not follow the straight line God laid out for them, but wandered from, or rebelled against God’s decrees, choosing to exalt their idols over God, they suffered; and not with just a slap on the hand. God removed His protection and lives were lost. That was history in the making.
“Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” 8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; 9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 1 Cor 10:6-11
Of course, you are somewhat jesting, but it is sad to say such things about the Almighty God, which lessens how important it is for all of us to adhere to His Word in Christ, and not those of men who stumble over their own lips. Ps chapter 12, ends with, “and what is worthless ("vile", such as rotten fruit) is exalted by the human race”. The organization has the nerve to exalt their blunders - Beliefs Clarified, which is mind boggling. I believe you are delusional, not alert to the history of God’s people when they fall into sin, or listen to lies. Discarded teachings are lies, present teachings are lies. Anymore, there are few of your teachings that are truth. Rev 16:13,14
The organization’s entire existence is sin against Christ. It challenges his word and his priesthood, with the words of men and their counterfeit priesthood. It fulfills prophesy as the “man of lawlessness” that blasphemes God’s sanctuary/temple in the anointed ones. Rev 13:1,2,10,18 Remember, they are told not to meet or study the Bible together. They are threatened and restrained from any independent movement to pursue Truth on their own without risking all that encompasses their “life” in the organization. Rev 13:15
Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you They are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the LORD. Jer 23:16
There are so many examples of WT leaders speaking “a vision of their own imagination”, and yet JWs keep listening to them. We don’t “take what is offered”, but listen to Christ who said we would know those whom he would send, by their “fruit”, that would last. Do JWs hear those words from the Bible? WHO’S WORDS ARE MORE IMPORTANT, THE GB’S? OR THOSE OF CHRIST?
Satan presented to Eve a “nourishing food” which contradicted the Word of God. That lie/food brought death to her and Adam, and her seed. Any teaching that obviously has been proven not to be from God, brings the same death upon those who create it and those who ingest it and call it truth! Deut 18:19-22 There is nothing illuminating or life-giving about it, but it holds an artificial light which Satan is fully capable of producing. 2 Cor 11:13-15 Any group of leaders who do this year after year consistently, did not radiate the light of Christ from day one, no matter what they use to convince you of it. It is all…a delusion prophesied to occur during the last days, that grabs hold of the anointed ones and their companions. The delusion effectively covers over the presence of the “man of lawlessness”, which is the organization, where the unsealed anointed are not safe under the elder “Gentile” Body. Matt 24:15; 2 Thess 2:3,4; Rev 11:1-3; 13:1,2,7; 9:1-4
Your words “to learn to yield, cooperate, and get along with each other”, obviously originate with WT’s leaders. Even swine wallowing in the mud can get along with each other. However, to be Christ-like means to stand up for his pure word, separating ourselves from the historical muck of lies, even if we are persecuted for it. Isa 52:11; Matt 5:10
2 Thess 2:9-12: “This man (man of lawlessness) will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. 11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil *rather than believing the truth.”
*This isn't WT's version of truth, but that of Christ's.
Do JWs enjoy being fools? As the saying goes, 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me’. Sadly, the majority apparently have no shame.
Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil ferment and stink;
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. 2 A wise man’s heart goes to the right,
but a fool’s heart to the left. 3 Even when the fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense,
and he shows everyone he is a fool.
5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:
6 The fool is appointed to great heights, (GB) but the rich remain in lowly positions. (the rest of the anointed under its rule) 7 I have seen slaves on horses,
but princes walking on the ground like slaves. (the trampling of God’s temple by a false priesthood who rules over the royal priesthood/Temple of God. 1 Cor 3:16,17; Rev 11:1-3 They are the true princes under the Prince/King of Peace, not the elder body – Isa 9:6; Dan 12:1; Isa 49:24,25; Rev 19:16; 3:21; 5:9,10 )
12 The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him. 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is folly,
but the end of his speaking is evil madness. (example, the evolution of “this generation”) 14 Yet the fool multiplies words.
No one knows what will happen,
and who can tell anyone what will happen after him? Eccl chapter10
The Bible is full of the admonition to seek the wisdom of God. Why would we settle for the folly of a fool?
A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit. Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is favor. Prov 14:6-9
And yes, Jesus desires us to become, “perfect”, by listening to his wisdom. Matt 5:48 It is only men who continually remind you how imperfect you are, capturing you in a spiritual time capsule, and away from the wisdom of the Christ, that halts one’s growth to maturity in the Truth. Rev 3:18 These men promise you perfection after Armageddon, when Christ promises it now. John 6:27

How about lifesaving glass of water in desert with few drops of dangerous substances in it ? :)) perhaps drops of purple color :))
Or, we can make agreement how nothing is wrong with previous WTJWORG "brighter lights". Because ...
If I understand you enough, here you sad how "previous light was not so good" and as result, your "keeping on the watch" turn out to be wrong because you saw lot of wrong things in poor light.
Well, does this mean how JHVH as Source of that Light, that was not enough Bright (that was not so good) should take a blame for that wrong understanding of His servant?
And how is possible that WTJWORG "spiritual food" represents "light that grows brighter" ? What is the cause here and what is the result?
Did published "spiritual food" caused "brighter light" for person to see better around him? Or "brighter light" caused publishing good "spiritual food" for person to better understand what is happening around him ?
But you bring right idea, how poor "previous light" was not Sufficient for healthy "spiritual food" ... because Source of the Light for such Err, Not Perfect spiritual food was not in God or Jesus, but in Humans.
What purpose? To our conclusion how previous BS and JW generations died in false and err doctrines, hopes and beliefs? To our conclusion how present, current JW members will also die in false and err doctrines and hopes?? :))
Destroying bad food in shop store is not a ban. Destroying published publications as evidence would be a crime. :)) But internet provide possibility to save material for searching and redefinition of WT doctrinal history.
Of course, current JW members, in general, have no time, no wish to read old publications and put effort to critical thinking on past and present teachings.
Those are not good things by most people's standards. However, I do agree with the last two. Thinking is always a good idea, and everyone should make sure their beliefs are not based on false ideas.
It is simply not that way.
Everything else is permitted to have a history, and in no case is that history one of straight line problem-to-solution. In every case they include wandering, exploring, waffling, flip-flopping, backing-up, dealing with human foible and imperfection.
Only in the case of spiritual things do some demand a final perfected product delivered as though by Santa, without history.
And this demand usually stems from but a few common factors. Jesus says “exert yourselves vigorously” and people tire of doing that. Paul says grab hold of the “real life” and people say, “yeah, that means this one.” Jesus says “When the Son of Man returns, will he really find the faith on earth?” and Srecko answers in purple, “Not if I can help it, he won’t.”
There is nothing wrong with the present leadership among Jehovah’s Witnesses. Or rather there is—it is comprised of people. But that has always been the case, and if you complain to God that you will only stick around where there is perfection, He will say, “Well, you are no great shakes yourself. You’ll have to take what is offered. It will do you good to learn to yield, cooperate, and get along with each other.”
If you really think that the “real life” is what 1 Timothy 6 says it is, and that you-know-who is the ruler of this world, like Jesus says he is, then you realize that the two “worlds” being polar opposites in so many ways is going to cause you some present problems in this system of things. If you are inclined to stick with one, you will have problems from the other.
