  Even after the Australian Royal Commission shone a HUGE spotlight on the inappropriate practice, the arrogant GB persists with such brazen statements....

  But you know, this isnt a cult or anything!?

  Aust Census Data shows decrease while Yearbook shows increase

  by shepherdless in

  on threads about 8 or 9 months ago, i put up some detailed data from the 2011 and 2006 australian censuses.

  data from the 2016 census is becoming available in stages, and i mentioned recently that i would do an update.

  finally, as of about today, some data of interest is available, and i have started to look at this, but it is time consuming, and i am time-poor.. anyway, the first search i have conducted is just a simple breakdown of the number of people describing themselves as jw's.

  Hypocrisy of JW.org at this week's book study

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a paragraph taken from this week's study of 'gods kingdom rules.

  15 jehovah’s people remain loyal to the messianic kingdom not only by refusing military service but also by respectfully declining to join in nationalistic ceremonies.

  especially since the outbreak of world war ii, a wave of nationalistic fervor has swept the globe.

  Yes, good point.

  But sadly 99% of witnesses know nothing of the hypocrisy that takes place in Chile and those surrounding nations!

  This Story Says It All

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  this story shows the sad reality of being a jw in a medical emergency, and how incredibly difficult it is to make an informed, free choice about medical care.

  it also shows that for jw's, obeying watchtower leaders is more important than marriage or even the life of your child.

  very sad indeed: http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/267054/religious-husband-dumped-saving-child/ .

  Tony Morris Shows Off Engraved Gold Ring with Turquoise Birthstone(?)

  the july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.

  maybe it's not a big deal.

  maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.

  It has his initials on it so that when he forgets his own name, he can just look at it as a memory jog....

  Old magazines and single page tracts

  by pepperheart in

  in the july jw broadcast in the section about the cart work worldwide did you notice how many old books magazines and single page tracts they had on the carts to give to the general public.

  So that proves that it is NOT the substance of the information that brings people into the org...as the old material is now outdated.

  It is an emotional attraction that brings people in...

  So it wouldn't matter what the books or tracts say,in fact the pages could be blank, and people who are inclined would still come in....

  heard gave 3 talks at the convention.

  one thing i noticed rather quickly was how stuck he was to his notes.

  he rarely looked up.

  After the stupidity of ToMo3 going on his personal rant during his talks, the GB have probably told each other NOT to vary from the script....

  Watchtower teaches that Jesus dying on the stake is no longer certain

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has held for many years that jesus died on a stake and held strongly to this teaching.

  w 1951 3/15 the above agrees with the new world translation of the christian greek scriptures in its appendix, page 769, in saying that the instrument upon which jesus was nailed was a stake without a crossbeam, and not the religiously represented “cross”; and that the greek word used for that instrument in ancient time meant a “stake” and not the conventional religious cross.

  they are no longer certain on this point.

  Is this for real?

  Are they really hedging toward dropping the stake teaching??

  Wow!
