  What warnings are the cult giving the "sheeple?"

  In the study article on page 20 - "Are You Heeding the Warnings?", JW's are threatened what their fate will be if they don't support the elite, "anointed" JW's, the 33 degree aka, the self-appointed Gibbering Body - they will be toast very soon:

  "Bible prophecy shows that as Jehovah’s appointed Judge, Jesus will be righteous in his judgment. He observes the conduct, attitude, and speech of people - including how they treat his anointed brothers the cult. Jesus will know who gave support to his anointed brothers and their work. (JW's italics) One of the primary ways that sheeplike ones support Christ’s brothers is by assisting them in the preaching work. Those who provide this support will be judged as “righteous” and will have the prospect of “everlasting life” on earth. (Matthew 25:46)"

  Those who don't "support" the cult? The org cites Matthew 25:46 to terrorise such ones! 😬

  I will not support cults that waste people's time and resources, or that demand one to give them all their money. And any god that is a lowlife scumbag enough to adversely judge someone for not wasting their potential or losing all their personal property to support this thing does not deserve my worship. Since when does god have the right to demand all my money and/or time, and throw a temper tantrum when I am not willing to surrender?

  When the May WT printed the new understanding of Jesus’ judgement at the time of the end and admitted “ We just don’t know “ the details of who would live or die or get a resurrection……. I knew that it would not take long for them to roll back on that and start to crack the whip again. The want them out on the ministry.

  Matthew 25:39 (NIV) "When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

  40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"

  Perhaps they are getting the JWs used to the idea of visiting the GB (the self-styled brothers of Jesus) in prison.

  I have always hated bullys. The Watchtower terrorizes the mentally weak, uneducated and people who would just rather someone else make the big decsions for them.

  They are bastards and sons of whores.

  They are bastards and sons of whores.

  I've gotten shade for not having ever been a JW and yet being so vehemently against the GB. The more I read about the contempt with which the R&F are held by the GB, the more furious I get. The above quote from Seabreeze is pulling punches, IMO. I've never forgiven the JW GB for that article in the Awake! in the 90s, where they bragged about all their children whom they had killed through their blood transfusion policy.

  I seriously hope that their hubris catches up with them, and that they serve prison terms for their complicity in the CSA cover-ups.

  Blues Brother, in the past the WTS has "the bible does not say, but" and goes on to give their "best guess." In the past the WTS chastised the rank and file for speculation, this seems like speculation by the WTS administration. Now that secular governments are reading the published statements of the WTS more closely and seeing them as less than truthtellers, they have to "clarify" past statements. How can their members base life decisions on things that are not clear. Is their god deliberately withholding information which seems lie of omission to me. Cracking the whip: 1) not required to report time spent in preaching/teaching 2) Not all destroyed after GT starts. Cuts back the urgency song. I think many jws enjoyed not going to endless, boring meetings during covid, not having those in charge being able to watch their "activity" and judging their faithfulness by that, even though each person's abilities and opportunities are not the same. I wonder if they will survive the dip that happened in 1976 and 1977 (minus growth) this time.

  That's a great laugh. You mean like the two guys I saw last week sitting by their literature carts on a stretch of sidewalk where nobody was walking?!
