it would be more like Saudi Arabia
More like North Korea with the staged photo ops and closeted assassinations instead of out in the open.

He's saying they're all 'pre-existing' prophecies, and therefore JWs haven't originated any NEW prophecies and therefore aren't prophets. This isn't true however.
Example 1: The Great Tribulation & "this generation" - In this prophecy by Jesus, he clearly said that it had never happened before and 'nor will occur again', so they are making a new fulfillment.
Example 2: 1925 - This was based on counting jubilee years etc. and was not even based on a prophecy to begin with. Therefore, it is a wholely original prophecy, and was said to be 'confidently expected' to come true.
More examples could be cited, but all that is needed is one. Deuteronomy clearly and simply states that anyone who claims to speak 'in the name of Jehovah' and who's words don't come true is a false prophet and is to be ignored.

Every single action of God happened in this CIRCLE
by pistolpete init looks kind of suspicious that everlasting life- death - paradise earth - heaven - salvation - angels - god- jesus -sin-the devil-the truth came from only this location.
(see the circle on the map).

Not true. Jesus appeared to the Nephites in what is today known as Utah, and Jehovah appointed the Faithful Slave in New York some centuries later.

Both corners of their mouth
by neat blue dog ini was just watching dinesh d'souza talking about a chinese newspaper, and he was saying that the chinese communists like to have a form of communication that isn't 'officially' from the government but can transmit what they want people to hear.
instantly reminded me of the gb, how they have agendas and outlines for circuit overseers, schools, even supposedly spontaneous experiences at conventions that are used to push certain ideas.
they do the effective job at the time, but most jws wouldn't be able to track it down in print later.

And with the short term memory loss most JWs suffer from, it doesn't pose a problem and does what it's designed to do.

You can't be serious 🤣 how old are you?
Also, why are you STILL too much of a coward to answer the simple question: Why are you disobeying the Governing Body's explicit direction to not talk with 'opposers' online?

Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?
by Brock Talon ina pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.
the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.
conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

Funny thing is, they're currently 'owning' this by making it the cool thing to do, to post on social media about how you have mental illness and not ashamed, spread the word etc. Insanity has gone mainstream apparently.
