the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

Kingdom Halls are been opened up now.

by joe134cd in

my fathers best friend passed away a couple of days ago.

admittedly, i live in a country that is covid free, although the local dubbies are still following the advice of not meeting in the hall.

with the death of my fathers friend, the local boe must have had a change of heart.

In the US they doubled down and said no unapproved entrance into the Hall and even then no two people who don't live together

Adultery, Divorce, Remarry

by azl0058 in

my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.

he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.

he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

This apparently is a common idea, because the Elders book explicitly denounces using adultery to free yourself and get a new mate, and it said it will delay any reinstatement longer than usual.

Reading the Watchtower publications will give you an university education.

by Overrated in

the watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.

can anyone recall that gem?

my parents sure bought into that crap.

They've been saying that since 1914. In the intro to the Photo Drama, Russell says on camera that 'it has been said that watching the four parts is more beneficial than a year in college'.

That's another line they've been using ever since as well, saying 'it has been said' or that something 'has been defined as', followed by something only they would say, but making it sound as if taken from objective sources.

Beautifully written, powerful letter! The only frustrating part is if he didn't read it.

Jehovah`s witnesses not the only religion GOD is using now ?

by smiddy3 in

when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.

the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.

so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.

The bible identifies the leaders of the JWS (GB) as false prophet apostates or more commonly known as corrupt misleading charlatans running their own publishing empire the Watchtower Corporation.

Is that you Finkelstein??

.. is anti-gun, police and war?.

is subject to government but really anti-government?.

is prone to alternative medicine and science?.

So we've got two votes for JWs and two for leftists.

Except for views on sex, they aren't all that different. I rest my case.
