THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.

these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.

these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

I wondering if they will be giving autographs, signing books (haha)

Serious sinner?

with the statement in the study watchtower this sunday, that stop serving jehovah is a serious sin, the following:.

- can i conclude now, that we, (i, wife and 2 children), since 2008 pomo and no longer active in any religious activity, are serious sinners for jehovahs witnesses?.

writing this in a watchtower, a statement like that, could have big implications.. it makes me so sad.

Yes, so true. The WTS says that Satan chose to tempt Eve first, the youngest and most vulnerable. Evidently copying their father as Jesus said the religious leaders of his time did. (Just using their bible against them)

Thank goodness for the org's insights!

w52 2/1 p. 78 par.

7 jehovah’s theocratic organization today "when christ came for judgment in 1918 (1) he found some associated with this group that thought the lord had delayed his coming and they were oppressing their fellow slaves in christ.

these were cast off as the “evil slave” class.

The WTS always speaks out of both sides of their mouth and doesn't seem to realize that people have access to their previous statements...not surprised

Beth Sarim, you see that has happened before. But even if he had been found guilty by "caesar's" court, he would still have retained his good standing because the elders would have been his judge in the congregation. Makes me angry too.

"Brother Jodie jenelle began his bethel service in in 1990....."

by nowwhat? in

but what they don't say he left started and ran a real estate company and a global real estate consulting firm and apparently after making a fortune come back to bethel a few years ago.

how in the hell could a non lifer now be anointed and appointed to be a gb member.

sure can't be for his spiritual qualifications!.

Very interesting, OnTheWayOut. I have always believed that the real source of WTS money, is their property, using it as collateral for loans. (I worked in a bank for some time handling things like that). This person's layout of the plan, fits what I have known. The WTS has always been about money, not the spiritual status of its members. I am going to see if I can find the link to his other podcasts, can you pm me one?

Must be desperate, asking for "young ones" and "brothers and sisters" to apply.

LeeMerk, good tongue-in-cheek remark about real estate investing is an important skill for a GB member. :)

Experiences After Leaving

by Freeatlast2024 in

i am writing to ask if anyone cares to share their experience and/or offer advice for people leaving.

i was raised in the religion, and both my parents died when i was very young.

i recently stopped associating because my conscience no longer allows me to preach or support the organization.

This post is a great example of the great value of JWN. When I stopped attending, I did not know where to go, where there were others who thought like me and had similar experiences, there were not as many places as there now. Simon had started a previous discussion group, that i found was sooo helpful. He then designed JWN, which reaches even more people. We all have own experiences with the WTS, but finding someone who had the same experiences, lifts you up. And many suggestions on how to leave quietly or suddenly depending on your own circumstances. Explanations of the false reasoning of the WTS, and how to make similar examinations on your own. I want to see these resources continue and be a good part of it.

truthlover, many good points; especially the one about the holy spirit being dropped from the baptism questions, being replaced with "spirit-directed organization" While I was researching some other point, I stumbled on that and was stunned.
