  How Do JWs Understand Salvation & What Is Needed to Obtain It?

  by LauraLynn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from my experience within the jw organization, i understood that salvation meant a person accepted the teachings of the wbts without question as the "faithful and discrete slave," thereby placing their trust in them, not jesus christ.

  salvation consisted of being found "righteous" by jehovah and resurrected to everlasting life in an earthly paradise.

  to obtain this salvation, one needed to obey the organization's teachings, remain a faithful jw, and lead a moral life.

  Even from the side and beard, this was not Tony, at least not to me. He must have embarrassed the WTS or didn't obey something that the WTS felt was not being loyal enough. He is laying low. One leaves, they appoint another one as bad if not worse. The only time I saw a GB member leave alive were ones that "embarrassed" the WTS.

  The WTS does say something, it told their members of all their members who had died and we affected, a very small number compared to the vast # of non-jws that were affected.

  A real family is a group of people who are connected by love, respect, and mutual support, regardless of whether they are related by birth, marriage, or adoption. Being like family covers a large range of types of families. My father molested all his children, my mother knew it, when the youngest needed support I was the oldest and my nearest brother in age joined with me to do something to help the youngest. That's when I discovered the Watchtower organization's image was more important than abused children.

  2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

  this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

  but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

  Geoffrey Jackson, "we just don't know"...I guess he hasn't learned the WTS trick, "the bible does not say, but" and precedes to give an answer.

  Would God permit nuclear war?

  The Bible does not say. It does say that “fearful sights,” or terrifying events, would occur in our day. (Luke 21:11) An example of such events includes atomic bombs being dropped during the Second World War.

  How long did it take Noah to build the ark?

  The Bible does not say how long it took Noah to build the ark, but it seems that he spent several decades building it. Noah was more than 500 years old when his first son was born, and he was 600 years old when the Flood occurred.b—Genesis 5:32; 7:6.

  God told Noah to build the ark after his three sons were grown and married, which could have taken some 50 or 60 years. (Genesis 6:14, 18) Based on this possibility, it seems reasonable to conclude that the ark could have taken 40 or 50 years to complete.

  The abuse of JW org

  by wozza in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  awhile ago i said on here i would like to show how wrong the jehovahs witness organisation is , in that they will not accept the testimony of a victim of sexual crime where the victim has no other witnesses to the crime.

  i faced this with helping my ex wife for about 15 years in exposing her father , an elder, to the jw org.

  his raping of her over years and they believed him.. so therefore the perpetrator knowing of the organisations stance can easily deny and therefore be free to pretend to serve as an innocent jw still mixing with the congregation ,and also i have witnessed an accused perpetrator of child molestation witnessing at my next door neighbors house in field service with a child of another family even though the elders knew of the accusations against him.

  There are many ways the legal entities can use other than 2 eye witnesses to a crime; do it all the time for many types of crimes. The WTS does have access or authority to use this. But the the WTS thinks child sexual abuse is a sin not a crime. Watchtower May 2019 p. 12. "As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we view child sexual abuse as a gross sin and a wicked deed. "

  Well, not yet. If they find jws that are suffering because of it and "handling" it with trust in their Jehovah, they might put something out there.
