i’ve been here a long time.
i saw this site jwd/jwn.
i thought it was very lively and interesting.
i first looked in about 11 years ago..and a quick look suggested it was an official jw site!
i was on a UK ex jw site--and one of the members ( cantleave ) suggested i take a longer look. i joined as bigmac--and quickly got a less than nice welcome from some of the brawlers that were on here back then. they have all gone now.
a young 81 ,may there be many more.. but feeling about 91 at the present time ..
well known norway elder and watchtower doctrine apologist, (rolf furuli) was disfellowshipped a few days ago for the crime of expressing opinions contrary to some watchtower dictates.. like wt leadership in the past, they have no problem eating their own..
well, ex bro Furuli--whoever you are--you will get a warm welcome here.
the same goes for any other big watchtower noises.
system of things comes to mind.
what does that mean to anyone not a jw?.
how long have you been in the truth?
whats a submarine witness ?
many of us have watched the gb #4 update.
most of us jumped for joy when they basically said that there will be no meeting in person for a long time to come.. one aspect we overlooked was how hard they hit home the "love of neighbor".
how this "love" is what makes a true christian and as a result our love for our neighbors will motivate us to stay at home.. well now they released a letter that is instructing all kh's to view this video during their local needs part.
whats to stop a bro logging in to zoom--but having a tv program on at the same time ?
all my jw life i was reminded constantly about the importance of not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.
decisions on whether or not to disfellowship an individual often turned, not on the seriousness of the sin, but on whether the incident was public knowledge and had resulted in bad publicity for the congregation.
i recall a middle-aged lady being reported to the elders for shoplifting a sweet worth less than £1- and the elders' insistence that a judicial committee must be formed because the store manager and staff knew that she was a jw (i successfully argued that all she needed was support for her dreadful family life, but that's another story).
i think the biggest reproach the watchtower cult bring upon their gods name is
Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses
FOR SALE.
i hear this from the leftist idiots all the time.
if someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough.
well if its a one of i would argue that i still my need more round for even just one person.
it looks like P.Rising has left us. Maybe one of his arsenal got the draw on him.
he talks about how a group of 5,000 broke away from the organization due to distrust of government agents infiltrating the jws.
they weren't regarded as apostates, just distrustful.
he uses phrases like "their leader" and "his elders", and how they had a meeting with the governing body and made the decision for all these thousands to reintegrate them into the jws, splitting them up among congregations.
that was this weeks video.
but the elders cant say: liberry, pitcher, aks, pronounsiation, mono-tone-us, unconscience.
our cong servant (1960's) couldnt manage OHIO.
it was I-O-HOI.
also--one evening he was ranting and raving about an imminent circo visit--and said that one service meet up would be in LIN COLLON ROAD. someone piped up--its pronounced LIN_CON, brother...to which he bellowed--someone's put an L in it.
