I was shocked that in one of the paragraphs they say JWs should accept every explanation given without questioning because it is from Jehovah.
Can you point out the paragraph so we don't have to read through the whole load of ... ?

Juan, another brother who was
asked to move to Mexico, says: “It is almost
like being born a second time; you
must form new bonds.Is that, like, say, being born again?

Governing Body new Branch letter begging for donations !
by ToesUp ini just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.
keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.
not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

But there's nothing stopping them from re-instituting it if they see a need. I've been saying for a while that it's impossible for the religion to actually go belly-up because, even if they could not afford to rent or build facilities some day, they could just go "hardcore first century" and hold all meetings in private homes.
I was quite young, pre-teen, but I remember that collections used to be made at the book study in our home.
Does anyone recollect that?

by berrygerry inleave it in jehovah's hands.
is there a more disgusting phrase in jw land?.
the abuse, harms, thefts, suicides, family destruction - leave it in jehovah's hands.. why would anyone with a more than 2 neurons say, "oh that makes sense," we do not need to change or intervene in any way.. sooner or later, god will take of things.. .

"Well the car was out of gas. I 'left it in Jehovah's hands'™, but he didn't fill up the tank, so what could I do?"
James 1:27
Hey, that's up to God, not us.
Can you not read between the lines?
Silly widows.

by Hidden-Window inas we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

Satan has justification in claiming that God has created a 'rigged game' when he rewards Witnesses' chickens with better reproductive powers and greater immunity to disease - only when the Witnesses attend a District Convention! ( yb13 p. 138 Myanmar (Burma) Not Forsaking Christian Gatherings - “We wanted to attend the district convention in Tahan, a two-day journey away by boat and truck,” he explains. “But no one would watch over our chickens while we were away. Still, we put our trust in Jehovah and attended the convention. Returning home, we found that we had lost 19 chickens, Yet, one year later, our small flock had increased to more than 60 chickens. And while many villagers lost their chickens to disease that year, none of our chickens died.”
I mentally wrestled for decades with the inherent contradiction of "the moral of the story" in the story of Job and the weekly teaching of Matt. 6:33, and exhausted weeks of research without ever receiving any kind of reasonable answer.
Job was tested with the loss of everything, including his children, because of his unwavering devotion to God. This was an answer to Satan. (Besides the obvious that once one person has remained faithful, and provided an answer to Satan, then why must this charade continue? - it's been answered.)
So, does not Jesus contradict Job, by saying that God WILL PROVIDE if you put him first.
Which is it?
God will provide if you serve him.
Or. God will allow Satan to take away EVERYTHING, including your children, if you serve him.
