Paradise Cafe Discussions - A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

just a update
sorry if its already been posted/ but its worth repeating,if it has.

This has been circulating several forums, and was sent to me, but we already knew this didn't we !! :read:

Sept 15 WT study ( you can see why these study magazines are not for the public )

"Try reading it in 1st person, it makes a massive difference:
>>>>>>>>>>
Without OUR assistance YOU would neither understand the full import of what YOU read in God's Word nor know how to apply it. (Matt. 24:45-47) - page 8

Similarly today, a Governing Body composed of US contributes to the unity of the worldwide congregation. WE publish spiritually encouraging literature in many languages. This spiritual food is based on God's Word. Thus, what is taught is not from men but from Jehovah.-Isa. 54:13. - page 13

Accordingly, as Jehovah's people, YOU are united because YOU accept Jehovah's sovereignty, love your brothers, hope in God's Kingdom, and respect US, the ones God uses to take the lead among YOU. - page 14

In this time of the end, Christ has committed "all his belongings"- all the earthly interests of the Kingdom-to US. (Matt. 24:45-47) The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following OUR lead, they are in fact following their Leader, Christ. - page 23

As Head of the Christian congregation, Christ has used this "faithful and discreet slave" to administer His Kingdom interests on earth. He has provided direction for the anointed "domestics" and their "other sheep" companions by means of US.-John 10:16. - page 26

They recognize, however, that Christ is using US to lead and direct his disciples on earth.-Read Acts 15:6, 28-30. - page 27"

I hope this is correct as I dont get the magazines.

The WT study edition is available to the public.

and yet---

''Jesus has the power of God, by which he has given us
everything we need to live and serve God. We have
these things because we know him. Jesus called us
by his glory and goodness. Through these he gave us
the very great and precious promises. With these gifts
you can share in being like God, and the world will not ruin
you with its evil.'' 2 Peter 1: 3-4....

anja says, "What the Catholic church teach about The Rock is the same what the wachtower is teaching about Math 24:45-47."

Great comparison anja!

The WT study mag is available to the public but not intended for distrbution to the public. They can only get a copy at the K Hall or if someone gives it to them.

>>>>>>>>>>>
Thank you e-imagine

I guess ir was more then a year ago ,that there would still be two WT mag a month, The 1st and the 15th,
One would be for field service and the other would be your own personal copy with the WT studies for the month in that one,
That study Wt was not to be given to the public.( In field service ).

Dear anja
, I also agree with you. all. There's a lot of similarities of the catholic church interwoven with the JW organization
.Praise Jah that you all can see this !
Thank you for your comments.


Although I view the WT organization , as being far worse..as they know the true God. John 4:23-24
Catholics don't have the heavy load to carry that the JW's org put on their subjects.
Jesus said , to take his load as it was light.. Matt 11:29-30

It seems that some humans cannot walk by faith ,or worship in spirit and in truth.

The Ten tribes of Israel insisted on having a human King representing Jehovah here on earth. That's what split the 12 tribes .It ended up with the Ten tribe slipping into Idolatry.

This is what we see in the JW organization.
Pure Idolatry

Those following the lead of the Governing Body have accepted them as a god., or as they would have it Christ.
This is the mind set that has overtaken them, Of course they are under the influence of the ruler of this world, but they cant see this. They are spiritually blind, sad to say.:cry:

Matthew 24:23-24 (Amplified Bible) Jesus himself said.
If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!--do not believe it.

For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones).

PS Yes, I have been assured that those quotes really are in the Sept 15 WT study magazine.

Thanks for posting that susanna :heartbeat:
I was taken aback by their audacity! Their brainwashing tactics are increasing day by day. They twist their scriptures and tell the people that only they can interpret it right. The Roman Catholic church has been reformed a great deal and I see a lot of spirit filled initiatives. Looks like the watchtower wants to bring back the 16th century RC structure with the GB as the pope. Sick!
