  President Trump launches missile strike against Syria

  by jwleaks in

  pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .

  59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

  Russia and the letter writing

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the whole of the instructions that the watchtower gave jws when writing to russian officials -.

  content • you are writing to the official to request his intervention.

  express the hope that the russian authorities will stop the legal action being taken against the branch office and the congregations in russia so that our brothers and sisters can continue to gather peacefully for christian meetings without interference.

  Being part of the org essential for salvation

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  good evening,.

  i am in search of recent articles in the watchtower, or in other articles that are available on jw.org, that explain that one has to be part of the organisation as a condition for salvation.. i can only find articles on sites other than jw.org that are from before the year 2000. .

  it is for discussions with a jw, so i can only use things from jw.org.. thanks in advance.

  Being part of the JW.ORG is an essential and sine quo non condition to allow this US organization to be successful in their number one target : Management of Their Worldwide Property Business.

  Why is Trump so effective???

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  i think trump is an absolute idiot.

  his tactics, however, are undeniably effective.

  thought i'd just put together a short list of some of the things he does.

  For many people living within or outside the USA Mr. Trump is The American Dream Personified.

  Feeling the Guilt

  by Saethydd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm currently disfellowshipped and living at home with my parents, but because they are both still devout jws i have to keep going to the meetings and crap because i don't want to risk getting thrown out until i finish college or find a job that will let me support myself and go to college.. yesterday, my mother rode with me to the meeting and told me how much my best friend and my oldest sister are missing me, and it just tears me apart because during the meeting i was practically counting the minutes till it was over.

  it didn't help matters that i had to sit with my family because the library was closed off, thus forcing me to follow along with the meeting on my tablet instead of reading something useful or interesting like i normally do.. when i got home i just cried out in frustration because it feels like no matter what i do, i am making the wrong choice.

  either i have to keep pretending to support an organization that has caused so much pain to so many people, or i have to abandon my family and friends to it so i can save myself.

  Love your parents but if you want to preserve you own dignity and your own future do not allow them to force you to wear the jw.org burka.

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  kpop, If your purpose is just to play some trick for the memorial, may I suggest you to appear in your kingdom hall wearing some once-in-lifetime clothes. Here is an example that will guarantee you to steel the show from the elders :

  2 sisters called today

  by stan livedeath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ive lived here 7 months now--and today was the 4th time some dubs have called--while i was at home.. they were probably about 60-70.. after i let one do her simple leaflet presentation--i told them i used to be a jw--but left over 40 years ago.

  and that i held the watchtower responsible for the break up of my family: and discussed shunning.. but the main thing i wanted to discuss--was the sale of their kingdom hall.

  they confirmed a sale was going through.

  "2 sisters called today" ......

  
  I never use the term « sister» (or brother) when quoting persons who are still involved in the shunning politic of the JW.Org cult and who are fully acting in compliance with it. They simply do not deserve this familiarity.

  After 40 years in the cult + 3 years of inactivity, I have decided two years ago to officially dissociate myself from JW cult for conscience and personal reasons. JWs can regard me just as they want to, I really do no care. Communication is permanently broken off between them and me, same between me and them.Even if some family members are now shunning me, why should I now be affected by the way that brainwashed people are considering me ?
