  Be ready to obey!!

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20131115/seven-shepherds-eight-dukes/.

  from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

  The whole JW experience is like living while looking through a microscope. ( tunnel vision )
  

  You have no idea what you are seeing until you step back and look at the whole picture.
  Am I right?

  As time passes, it must be mind bending to continue as an honest JW in legit good standing.

  The "don't give up" convention theme made my day...

  Not Inspired?

  the head, jesus christ, supplies the body members with what is needed for good cooperation, coordination, and spiritual nourishment.

  in such respects, the governing body is organized to take the lead as jehovah directs them by holy spirit.. 2008 wt 5/15 pg 29. the party's over....

  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  Will Watchtower “simplify” the baptism arrangement at circuit assemblies?

  by Londo111 in

  watchtower ever “simplifies” its “arrangements”.

  no more food.

  one-day circuit assemblies…no more “special assembly day”--it was a sad occasion anyways.

  maybe they'll go to an invisible or symbolic baptism...
  ( in your heart )

  Kinda like the memorial where you reject the emblems, this way nobody has to risk dressing immodestly.

  1919 a Date with Zero Prophetic Meaning

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've noticed that lately the wt has been using the date 1919 more often.

  in an almost matter of fact way, they will state that this is the year jesus finished refining his people and appointed the fds.

  the only problem is there is little proof or even prophetic antitypes given for why this must have been the year.

  I hope there's a greater fulfillment of the GB going to prison.

  Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

  By 'being taken to heaven', they mean disappearing to a non-extradition country with the 'dedicated funds'.

  The amount of payout for pain and suffering as a result of WT's shunning and blood policies alone in a class action lawsuit would end them.

  I hope it happens.

  Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen discussions here about how jehovah's witnesses seem to be prone to believing conspiracy theories... https://digest.bps.org.uk/2017/04/05/why-more-highly-educated-people-are-less-into-conspiracy-theories/.

  this last paragraph seems particularly relevant:.

  importantly, van prooijen said his findings help make sense of why education can contribute to “a less paranoid society” even when conspiracy theories are not explicitly challenged.

  At some point, you'd think the JWs would just say "enough"!

  Then we look at how long we bought into it. 25 years for me.
  We all cash in our chips at different stages and after different wake-up triggers.

  There are so many. Too many.
  I hope this along with the July Propaganda warning article gets the attention of many.
