the answer is a definite no!.
because every doctrine that is unique to jehovah's witnesses is not in the bible.
the unique doctrines of jehovah’s witnesses are the ones that only jehovah’s witnesses teach.
"Only Jehovah's Witnesses teach that there were less than 144,000 faithful Christians that existed prior to the 20th century"
Yep. This one is very strange. They completely ignore the actual scriptures and historical records that recount large numbers of followers and congregations during the first century and prior to the 3rd century.

You have to keep in mind the "Elites" in most places like young, healthy, moderately educated workers who have years of tax-paying ability ahead of them. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/refugees-by-country
Jesus Cano! That was a weird case! My housekeepers and Servant used to look around our rooms...and bookcase. A couple of housekeepers took breaks in my room and read my cookbooks. How in the world could a pedophile keep kiddie porn at Bethel?

"if a person accepts a blood transfusion, the jehovah’s witness elders are required to “investigate” to see if the person is sorry for “cowardly” saving their life.
if the person doesnt beg and grovel to the elders for allowing the doctor to save their life (or that of their child) then the elders can take this as a sign that he/she has disassociated from the congregation - and tell the congregation to start shunning them.. if someone willingly takes blood, perhaps because of being under extreme pressure, the committee should obtain the facts and determine the individual’s attitude.
For the last few years, most Hospitals (in California at least) severely restricted visitors...even direct family due to COVID. Unless someone really liked to flap their gums, how would the Elders even know who takes blood? Any JW who tattles on a blood recipient if they are a medical employee faces very serious government penalties and is open to civil lawsuits due to HIPAA violations. A minimum fine of 60k with maximum fines over a million can result. Does the Hospital Liason committee even exist after COVID?
the cult demands that the "sheeple" avoid anything which has "pagan origins," so for consistency, the wtbts should come clean and abandon the use of the pagan gregorian calendar, and adopt the biblical hebrew calendar.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gregorian_calendar#months.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hebrew_calendar.
The very foundations of the Watchtower are full of pagan symbols. Studies in the Scriptures are full of Pagan symbols and prophecy. Even the COVERS of Studies in the Scriptures the Egyptian Sun God RA and the wings of protection occur PROMENTLY.

As usual a great post 007 (Someone must be going nuts trying to track you down all these years) :)! Thanks, Atlantis! Happy Holidays to you too1 :)
Someone was wise to the fact there would be written records by the Elders in the library's locked files.
I hope they implicate the Elders conspiring to obstruct justice and not report the child abuse to the police.
I wonder if the victim's family had contacted a law firm with knowledge of JW procedures. If there is a paper trail showing a failure to report to the police, or a pattern of previous or additional unreported cases, this could prove very embarrassing AND expensive for Watchtower and the local Elders...and possibly result in additional defendants and possibly arrests of Elders.
looks like "king" richard's empire is crumbling.
will watchtower, or his millionaire jw kids help him?.
"keeping the faith .
It is sad that the dad seems left out in the cold by his JW millionaire daughters.......
i like to check google news for "jehovah" every month to see what's new...".

any news how things are at bethel just now?
been thinking, strange they have gb members giving speeches when they look so depressed.
but maeby there is not many others too choose from.
MOST Bethelites were asked to leave during the downsizing. Physical printing required a lot of manpower.
If you were a $500.00 an hour Attorney willing to work for free...even if you were "difficult" you were begged to stay. If you were a $ 50.00-an-hour computer programmer you were asked to stay. If you were an aging 50+ old janitor or press operator that could now be easily replaced ( by a younger man with a strong back and healthy heart)..you were asked to leave.
It is and always has been, all about the dollars $$$. Even before the re-location and downsizing, Bethel had accountants who knew the fixed costs to feed and house each Bethelite and the break-even cost for new machinery to replace x number of Bethelites.
