    Another ten years maybe ?   Too much to happen and the True Anointed remnant have to be actively serving God properly through Christ and guiding the 'earthly class' in the right direction. Now that has to happen before all religion is completely banned earthwide. So we need some true guidance asap. It is not goingto come through the GB of the W/t. 
    The A/V studio will be fitting for the GB and their helpers, because all they do is play act and pretend to serve God.

    Well at least JTR made this forum more interesting. Although Bro Rambo's topics are interesting in a strange way. 
    Have a good day everyone.

    Means nothing. Not to worry. But JTR used to say that phrase a lot. I don’t seriously think you’re him. But in these days of multiple personalities, nothing can be categorically ruled out.
    Hmm. The more I think about it...

    You seem to diagnose people as having OCD on a regular basis.  I have never seen OCD defined generally as hate.  It is an unwanted obsession that the person spends copious amounts of time and energy, in eliminating.  OCD cannot be associated with the personal desire to spread truth, by exposing lies.   Jesus hated lies and exposed them.  Did he suffer from OCD?
    "And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them."  Eph 5:11
    If we love the Father and the Son, shouldn't we "desire" to expose wickedness and lies said against them?    It is not an "unwanted" obsession.   It is called our "testimony" of truth, in the same way Jesus gave his testimony of truth.  John 18:37

    So I did a little bit of digging as to this name above.
    Among their corporations, the Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses cares for matters specific to Jehovah's Witnesses special full-time servants. In a particular branch, traveling overseers, special pioneers, and branch staff are considered members of the Order of Special Full-time Servants and the Bethel Family.[16] Globally, their order is the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses.[17] Male and female members of such religious orders typically make a formal vow of poverty and are granted certain status and exemptions by many governments. While Jehovah's Witnesses do not consider members of their religious orders to be a clergy separate from other Witnesses, who are also ordained ministers, they do recognize that a government may consider them such for administrative purposes.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    The Order of Special Full-Time Servants appears to be a religious order of Jehovah's Witnesses. What is a religious order in the context of Witness theology? Is it theologically meaningful at all? To what purpose do people join this order? When do they leave? (Do they leave?) How does the whole thing work?
     
     yb95 pp. 5-6 Jehovah’s Witnesses—1995 Yearbook Report ***
    Among the full-time workers were 15,145 members of the global Bethel family. They help to provide literature, supervision, and other beneficial services in support of the worldwide work of Bible education. Of these, 5,082 serve at the world headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, and at nearby facilities. All of them are members of the Order of Special Full-Time Servants, a religious order that is devoted exclusively to the ministry.

    Unfortunately a lot of info' / web pages are blocked from UK viewers. So it was difficult to get any real details. 
    Yes I did try JW Org site, but no results came up. But once again I didn't see the Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses  connected to the  W&BTS ???

    A DEIS Hearing Will Be Held May 26;  Public Comments Period Ends June 21
     
    The Town of Ramapo will be accepting public comment on the proposed new World Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses Audio/Video Production Center now that the DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) is complete. There is a DEIS hearing on May 26 and public comments will be accepted until June 21.
    The 1.7 million square-foot project, known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, is slated for 155 Sterling Mine Road in largely Sloatsburg and partly in Tuxedo in Orange County. Of the 249 acres, 242 are located in Ramapo; the balance is in Tuxedo. The Tuxedo portion of land will be used for secondary driveway access.
    The religious order, known as the Worldwide Order of Special Full Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses, is hoping to build an A/V production center with audio and video production studios and facilities to support operations of the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The facilities include offices, maintenance and set production workshops, and a central chilled/hot water plant with geothermal heat recovery system. Accommodations for resident staff include 645 residential units (545 one-bedroom and 100 studio units), dining/assembly spaces,  recreation/wellness/fitness facilities, and a clinic.
    ( Is this a new title for some of the JWs ? And if so why ?  I have said before they have many different Orgs. )
    The religious order purchased the land in 2009 for $11.5 million.
    The proposed live/work facility is integral to the religious missionary and educational work of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Occupants will be members of the Order, all of whom are adults without minor children who live under a vow of obedience and poverty, or adult religious volunteers, who will be assisting on a short-term basis.
    So, whos wording is this ? I've only copied and pasted it. I did note is says Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses, not servants of GOD. 
    So is this no part of the Watchtower Society either then ?

    Patiently waiting for Truth got a reaction from Ray Devereaux in IN RESPONSE TO A LETTER FROM A JW   
    But isn't the GB / W/t teaching that one 'has to be a baptised JW to be saved' ?  This is a serious question Tom ? 
    So will you give us your personal opinion ?  What do YOU teach others ? Is it only God's 'real' enemies, those in direct opposition, that will be killed, or, is it all non JWs that will  be killed ?  
    The fact that JWs on this forum call us non JWs 'enemies of God' or 'apostates', seems to answer the question quite well but it would be nice to know how JWs really feel. But then it would also be nice to know who on here are genuine JWs

    Wow more name calling from a 'non-judgmental' 'peace loving' JW. A JW that likes to presume that I hate people. A JW that is obsessed with OCD. And it seems all JWs are brainwashed into calling non JWs apostates and trolls. 
    However, I only hate what Almighty God and Jesus Christ hate. But unfortunately the words and actions of the GB of W/t, CCJW, JW Org, are proven to be things that both God and Christ would hate.
