SEPTEMBER 2024 Study Watchtower - Warnings for JW's!

by BoogerMan in

what warnings are the cult giving the "sheeple?".

in the study article on page 20 - "are you heeding the warnings?

", jw's are threatened what their fate will be if they don't support the elite, "anointed" jw's, the 33 degree aka, the self-appointed gibbering body - they will be toast very soon:.

Blues Brother, in the past the WTS has "the bible does not say, but" and goes on to give their "best guess." In the past the WTS chastised the rank and file for speculation, this seems like speculation by the WTS administration. Now that secular governments are reading the published statements of the WTS more closely and seeing them as less than truthtellers, they have to "clarify" past statements. How can their members base life decisions on things that are not clear. Is their god deliberately withholding information which seems lie of omission to me. Cracking the whip: 1) not required to report time spent in preaching/teaching 2) Not all destroyed after GT starts. Cuts back the urgency song. I think many jws enjoyed not going to endless, boring meetings during covid, not having those in charge being able to watch their "activity" and judging their faithfulness by that, even though each person's abilities and opportunities are not the same. I wonder if they will survive the dip that happened in 1976 and 1977 (minus growth) this time.

JWs obtaining fake degrees from a US institution to teach English as a foreign language

teaching english as a foreign language in asian countries is quite popular for those looking to travel and explore and make some money.

if you have the tefl qualification you're pretty much good to go and don't need a degree.i don't know how lucrative these overseas jobs are but i do know one jw from my congregation in england who decided to move to the caribbean and teach english as a foreign language.

i'm not knocking this individual.

Not surprising about the WTS, they have a "legal" approach to their statements, a lies by the act of omission.

In the Bible, lying generally involves saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth and doing so with the intent to deceive or to injure him or another person. (Insight book under Lying) (Definition (not found in WT publications, I wonder why?!)Lie of omission:
What is lying by omission? Lying by omission is the deliberate act of leaving out important details so the truth is skewed or misrepresented. It's the counterpart of lying by commission, or using false direct statements)

An EASY question for JW's to start with!

by BoogerMan in

(acts 9:15, 16) but the lord said to him: “go!

(see acts 11:26).

(acts 5:40) .

Comments in the past by the WTS (reporting not supporting)(see the qualifying words or phrases, evidently, "it would appear")

2015 Evidently such nations are the product of rebellion against Christ’s administration

2015 it would appear that such “nations” are the product of rebellion against his earth-wide dominion.

Revelation book before 2015 (Note that the 2015 WT is not as dogmatic the WTS were in the Revelation book)

The Bible calls these rebels “nations in the four corners of the earth.” This does not mean that mankind will have been divided once again into mutually exclusive national entities. It merely indicates that these will separate themselves from Jehovah’s righteous, loyal ones and manifest the same bad spirit that the nations show today. T

The Synagogue of Satan

by Sea Breeze in

the governing body claims to be the ruling part of the 144k jews in revelation.

wt leaders wiped out 4-5 generations of my family, and nearly took me out as well.

i will see this injustice settled however long it takes.

Personal beliefs do NOT equal facts or evidence. (I know some will disagree)
