  JWs can toast now….what’s next

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

  a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

  too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

  in the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and dvds of lord of the rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or sister busybody?.

  Bible-based versus Biblical

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jehovah’s witnesses continue to say their religion is completely bible-based as if this proves they are the one true religion.. gilles gray writes:.

  jehovah’s witnesses have a hard time understanding/accepting that the mere fact their teachings are ‘bible-based’ doesn’t establish that those teachings are true/biblical.. the most obvious, simple logic highlights their misconception….

  jehovah’s witnesses and their organisation have a long history of untrue and failed bible teachings.. for example, the watchtower once claimed that:-.

  AMIII reappointed at GB

  by Gorb in

  bethel's morning worship was concluded with the announcement that antony morris iii is reappointed at the governing body with effect from july 2, 2025.. the reason for this deeply considered decision is the new understanding of toasting before consuming a drink.

  the appointment of brother morris is an evidence of jehovah's blessing on the careful and conscientious efforts of the governing body.. g. .

  he looks completely different and he doesn’t do that raised eyebrows and funny mouth that he used to.

  and something is going on with his hair.

  is it a combover or a wig or is that even him?

  Urgency

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from a rational point of view: "the world" is "on fire" and a lot of people needs help.

  refugees all over the world, and people in economic trouble, needing help, even in the "western world".. so, "the society", jw.org accept toosting from now on.. what's wrong with their collective leadership and their followers, in what bubble do they act and live?.

  it makes me, after the laughing, fun and "ahead of the heavenly wagon" of yesterday, some kind of sad today.. gorby .

  Text book life

  by ElderBerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  take an example of a young man who grows up in a religious belief system jw or something.

  he mostly believes it but in truth is agnostic so is not absolute sure one way or another.. but he goes through the motions and gets married has kids, his kids grow up with the religious belief system.

  his wife is also technically a believer but they both have an overall agnostic approach.. this would be the text book life.
