They will never stop having Meetings or gatherings.
The Group-Think is too valuable to reinforce the believers.
Gathering in a group with others is the KEY way to make people feel accepted and part of something. It is the best way to reinforce behaviour and quell any doubts or questioning. Just seeing your "friends" all doing the same thing, and "learning" the same thing will ensure no-one wants to break ranks.
I doubt they will ever phase out meetings in some form or another.
jw eloise dupuis (canada, quebec) died last year of a lack of blood and refusal of blood transfusions, while the familly and the jw propaganda machine said it was rather because of an infection.
coroner says however we must respect her belief and there was no undue influence.
he doesn't know the wt it seems.. in french:.
Oh Steph! Yes, that is mind blowing when a loved one acts like that! So unreasonable. I have the same issue with brain dead family members...
jonah account as given in the bible proves the account is illogical, hence written by thoughtless human writer because:.
1) god is shown to be forcing jonah against his will.
(god would not go against the free-will of his children because history shows: he doesn’t punish atheists nor does he do any favors to theists).
We know it is not literal, and is merely a metaphor...but the tragic thing is that JWs and most Christians believe it was a REAL account of a FACTUAL person.
It is mind blowing to think that a "sane" person can think that way.
most people know that jehovah's witnesses began as a publishing company promoting a restorationist type christianity.
people who were followers were called bible students.
but when, exactly, did it change from a "movement" to a "religion"?
Ah yes, but as the Society often says " there is a difference between the 'TRUE' religion and 'FALSE' religion"
dear brothers and sisters,.
considering the end is so near at hand we thought it important for to reiterate that it's absolutely impossible to prove god's "one true organisation" wrong.
there is nothing on heaven or earth that could ever be shown to be false or incorrect in our entire .
Brilliant thread!
Well done!

Yep.... the whole "factual account" is kind of let down by the idea of living inside a fish for three days....
Serioulsy, any biblical believer who takes this as a literal account is down right crazy....

As with all the changes, if the intended audience need convincing via some strategic propaganda and marketing, that speaks volumes!
here is a fascinating subject.
according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.
we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).
Okaaaaayyyyy.
Troll alert.
Oh and anyone who uses the wrong "there / their / they're" loses me immediately....
i had a conversation with my dad concerning the legal cases the jws are loosing and how their policies are still lacking.
he answered that he has confidence that jehovah will give his people the wisdom and discernment necessary to make the changes.
i then explained that most of the improvements were made as a result of various court cases, including the australian commission.. my dad: well, than, jehovah uses the governments to discipline his people just like he did with the jews.
So in other words, SATAN's system is helping JEHOVAH's organization see the error of its ways??
this is the most weird story.
if you read half way down you will see the protagonists are jdubs.

Truly a "fine witness" was given to the community by these witnesses!
I wonder how the local elder body will handle THIS case??
I mean, there WERE two witnesses to it occurring!
