Thinking

Well at least we are one notch above country music…
I would make the brothers do that block ….

Poor boy. Here’s a bone for you. I wasn’t sure this pic had a use but it seems it might work here:
Sheesh! What a bunch of nut cakes! As goofy as any nasty here
Never have I seen Jehovah’s Witnesses listed directly below Gangsta Rappers.

……. and Walter, Quantum Physics does not prove that man is smarter than animals ….Quantum Physics just IS …. It’s the way the Universe was put together, even if there was NO LIFE.

I have heard it said (by elders too) that if we get to the other side, we may be surprised at who we see there and surprised at who we don't see there. Which goes to show that although we might have ideas, and judge others, we just don't know, only God does.

Do you not think the anointed don't do this? I know for sure they do.
I know three anointed brothers who are also elders.
It seems this is what your main gripe is really about

I think it was the "set" --the scenery, the backgrounds, the landscape -- chosen from a brother's property over there. It would be used for the initial productions of the "Life of Jesus" videos. Probably will work for several more similar videos down the road, too. All the post-production on the video will likely still be done in NY.

I don’t read witness for obvious reasons but the only annoited that get stumbled out ..are those with too much pride…in the footsteps of the father of the lie…and they just go on to travel down his path .

There is no contradiction..... . One cannot conflate all history into "one box" of the present. One must see all history in its context of time.....  Modern people do not walk around with elaborate hair braiding done by slaves ike the Greeks and Roman's did.....but it is the principle which must be upheld. 
Similarly, people today still eat whole blood in many foods and misuse whole blood in satanic rituals, as well as many other ways. If one applies  the principle out of love for God, you will abstain from blood and respect the life it represents. 
In order to obey as far as possible one will educate yourself about modern equivalents.  Such as the use of blood in creating fake meats etc. 
 

The anointed are anointed for a different job- mostly in future. They cannot rule as kings here on earth or be priests right now......They now have the job of preaching ..... to declare the wonderful things about jehovah.  Sadly, some lose their way and start to demand privileges. 

If they sell it, it’s because the sale of one underperforming Hall in the West can fund the building of 50 in developing lands where they are clamoring for them. So someone has a longer drive twice a week so that 50X friends overseas have a place to meet? Who would object to that?
Notice how the “bad and worthless” men objected when David proposed a similar equalizing scheme: 
“However, every bad and worthless man among those who had gone with David said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we recovered except that each one may take his wife and his sons and go away.”  But David said: “You must not do this, my brothers, with what Jehovah has given us. He protected us and gave into our hand the marauder band that came against us. “
Why would you promote being bad and worthless?

Whew!

Excellent example of how you twist any sentence to suit your hate agenda.  

No my dear - only a stumbling block for those who have BIG egos. They do not fit in.

Ha-ha.  I just laugh at the ridiculousness!  Witness and Srecko  quote an old watchtower and you have a peeve with that!  LOL.
I have repeated so often on this forum that one must put historical actions and attitudes in the light of the period.
If I had the right to go through your life and nitpick it like you do the witnesses  - I am sure I will find some very strange things in there.  Especially the things you did, especially if you grew up in the 60s, 70s, or 80s.   Millennials find our big hair and bell bottoms very funny.  Well, the things people found acceptable in that time was good enough for them..... the light is getting brighter! 
In the 60s in USA many people who came in the truth still had racist ideas - earlier then that there was lynching's etc. 
While they never allowed racism in the congregations, I am sure that black brothers did not always feel comfortable and wondered why the anointed were mostly white.  There are so many things we can find  with a nitpicking attitude to be judgmental...... and I always notice this in your comments  that you do not have a good historical sense.  You want the truth to be truth with no changes......... people may not change or you hold their feet to the fire!
Well - I am a witness because they are indeed prepared to make changes and grow...... they do not stay stagnant without moving forward in understanding!

People who whine about anointed stuff are just a bunch of Karens.

Yes, you're good at twisting and flipping words around I must admit.

This is rubbish. That would be like saying you can't bond with your brothers and sisters or seek out friends from other congregations.
You know very well that what was meant was that the anointed should not group together for the purpose of organizing a kind of "elite" club and separating themselves from the rest of the flock. The anointed feel they do not need to do this in order to be members of Christ's body. Christ's body is not dependent on physical or spiritual closeness only with each other. The anointed know they are part of Christ's body and humbly work with the congregation they are at, encouraging and supporting the rest of the flock. The Christian congregation does not consist of "us" and "them" but it is one united flock. It is after their resurrection all anointed will be physically together in heaven with Jesus, and they humbly wait for this. "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance.  It is reserved in the heavens for you"  (1 Peter 1:3,4 )

We know exactly where the changes were made - there are at least 5 master copies of the holy Bible that were made from a comparison of all the extant manuscripts (they were compared with one another and all the anomalies noted),  so yes - unlike other religions this record (the bible) his the most scrutinized document on earth.... with the most enemies who wish to discredit it.  Other so-called documents have not been scrutinized to this extent.
So yes - the bible is truth and the very few differences does not affect the main theme of the bible or the personality and qualities of the One who wrote it.  The differences do not in any way shape or change the fundamental truths. Your biased viewpoint is showing up!  You want to give yourself leeway to be able to have all your own opinions and reject some of the truths contained in it?  john 17:17  " 17 Sanctify them by[a] the truth; your word is truth.
I can detect when she is exaggerating and twisting scriptures but she lies and slanders badly too!   So it is hard to  always  overlook that kind of behavior.  It does not matter if a good point is made, or a weak point - she will find a way to twist it.
Many opposers show this kind of hate-OCD..... I call it that this condition because I recognize the signs very quickly when a person is operating in that kind of mode.   The person can choose to be more reasonable .....but they fall back into the same old same old repetitive behavior as if they cannot help themselves.  Reasonableness has fled!

Yes, we also have learnt before, that just like 144, 000 are sealed those who will receive the earthly promise will also be marked by the one with the inkpot - and the Christian personality will be the criteria.  Ezekiel 9. 

“And gas prices rose. David was very distressed because the worldmedianewsforum perennial gripers were talking of stoning him, for all the men had become very bitter over their KH sold to build 50 in developing lands, making them drive further, and they wanted to stone him for a million other reasons too. But David strengthened himself by Jehovah his God. (1 Samuel 30: 5-6) #freewheelingversion.
