As I said before- I suspect you have a problem with all authority.......even if they come from God himself

I have a dislike for authority that is used in an unjust and dictatorial way. 

We all know that 'the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one' hence the authority of that 'world' is generally unfair and dishonest. 

Unfortunately that is also in the CCJW. Your GB and it's predecessors made up rules which are not scriptural. Your GB's Lawyers are dishonest. Your GB have no love for their brothers. Just as Revelation says, they have lost the love they once had. 

When the Elders would moan at me I would ask them for three scriptures to back up their complaints. They soon left me alone because they knew they could not back up their complaints from scripture. 

However I obey God as ruler rather than men.

Sometimes, I think we go overboard in insinuating the worst for words that have lost their original meaning in modern parlance and that have become just an expression for which there doesn't seem to b

@Witness & @Srecko Sostar  you have both got me thinking on this now.  It is very interesting and it will get me re-reading the Greek Scriptures once again but from a different viewpoint. 

God has not given any authority to the GB or the rest of the Leaders of the CCJW. Even the GB admit to NOT BEING inspired by God's Holy Spirit, and they admit that they 'err', or deliberately do wrong

Definitely not useless, it served a valuable purpose. You forget that older generations still had proper school education. We learnt history, Latin and all kinds of subjects which made us more prone to read history.  We also learnt to read better than the later generations. 

I loved the books that went into history such as "Babylon the great has fallen" etc.  I did not study it.  It came out before I became a witness but I read it afterward. I also liked some of the older books such as the description of the parables.

I read the old Daniel book quite a few times and this morning read a portion of the old revelation book.....and found something new which I had not seen before.... so you assume to much and your statement is condescending to say the least.

Thanks! Of, course, your education about many things are valuable.

I referred comment on that part of "religious education" that came to be useless even inside WTJWorg standards. All what came to be "doctrinal err" in the eyes of JW bible scholars was changed and automatically is useless knowledge. We can wait to see what other doctrines and interpretations will be changed, reformed or completely reject also because of "clarification and new light". In that sense this future process (or perhaps process that are in progress out of JW members eyes) will also show how useless is present religious knowledge on various subjects that today JW's hold as "truth" and blessings.

According to your standards - not jehovah's .

True Christian's are always cooperative and yielding, even if it means they have to sacrifice something.  You sound asif you were extremely combative........ the same spirit you display here.

I find it wonderful - our religious education.  You did not ...... but seeing your attitude and the way you look at life...... I am not surprised.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
