  last year during the closing talk our favorite anthony morris lll in all his glory declared" armageddon is imminent!

  " on the broadcast screen at every regional convention world wide!

  Strange conundrum

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just had a thought inspired by @newboy's recent post:.

  why is it that despite the watchtower corporation being arguably the biggest publishing house in history, having produced billions of tracts, brochures, magazines, books for o very 100 years, and having the largest army of volunteer publicity agents on the planet, that 99% of the population is still clueless as to what their message is all about?.

  if you ask random people what jw's beleive you will rarely get the so-called "good news": gods kingdom is going to soon usher in a paradise earth and fix all the worlds problems under the 1000 year reign of christ.. you will instead get: "they're the people who... 1. don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, 2. don't take blood, 3. go around with the watchtower, 4. have big assemblies... etc etc".

  Great thread Doubtfull1799!

  Yes, if the ALMIGHTY is backing the efforts of "his one true organization", then he is not doing a very good job!

  greetings, friends:.

  my trusty and very old dell died a few days ago; a friend's gift of a toshiba has gotten me here.

  Literature cart preaching outside a hospital

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is one thing that really annoys me.. i live opposite a large hospital.

  there is a pedestrian crossing connecting the hospital to the other side of the road.

  it is at the end of the crossing that the dubs have their literature cart.

  Venezuela oil worker video assembly

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for anyone who didn't have the pleasure of attending the assembly , they has a video of a venezuelan man who with 20 years experience was asked to sign a card stating he was a member of a political party to keep his job.

  he choose to become a day labour with three kids to feed.. i work in a union shop with a few jws and we had to join the union to remain employed.

  i have never been to a meeting.

  Thanks for sharing.

  Yes, most countries have requirements stating that in order to be a citizen or have a passport, one must agree to pledge loyalty to the country.

  The GB must be arrogant and downright stupid if they are going down the path of the Mexico/Malawi scandal yet again?

  So I have sent in my third letter. The first was ignored and the second only prompted the receipt of a three line response from them basically saying "we have nothing".

  So, this one, while polite and formal, is strongly worded to highlight that they have an obligation to provide the data I have requested. If not, further action will be taken. ( i have quoted all relevant legal sections and documents that pertain to my right to this data)

  I have sent it via registered mail so that they can not ignore it.

  I will post more details and perhaps even copies of the letters soon.

  JWtalk.net is an act of Disobedience

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.

  they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.

  this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.

  Good thread.

  Yes, when it suits them, individual JWs will do their own thing!

  They will promote their own social media activity that goes DIRECTLY against the dictates of the GB.

  How many Instagram posts are there with JW promotional activity with hashtags like #bestlifeever arrrggghhh!

  My 2018 convention review (BR)

  by Ray Frankz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so this years convention was all about:.

  1) neutrality means not taking sides.

  jws must not have any opinions about politics, even if it affects you or your job or your social class directly.. also .

  Wow...it seems that they are getting more and more desperate!

  Is it because we are all "out" now that this sort of rhetoric stands out as the trash it is? Or is the GB getting more intense and desperate??

  'satan's coming after us'.

  Ah yes! The ALMIGHTY god JEHOVAH seems incapable of preventing SATAN'S legal system from enacting the laws of the land??

  The "One who can make the stones cry out", or who can "resurrect the dead" cant seem to stop the wave of justifiable legal cases?

  Maybe he is "cleaning up his house" and using the "superior authorities who stand in their relative positions by him"

  Come on JWs! wake the heck up!

  If it takes "Satan's WICKED system" to make Jehovah's people do the right thing, then that says everything!

  People are nice and life is awesome.

  i got invited as a +1 to someone's house yesterday to watch the fireworks.

  i'd never met the hosts, and it seemed that most of the people in the group only knew one or two other people there.

  yet i felt more genuine friendship from everyone there than i ever felt at any jw gathering.
