  Duran, I think that comment used terms that jws believe in. Not necessarily those outside the WT organization.

  WingCommander, it could set a precedent. Worked against the Catholic Church, starting in 2002 by a group called SNAP.

  Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’

  this information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.

  (i don’t go on jw dot org).

  it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

  DOC, loss of money is the only thing that moves the WTS to take action, not wanting to support their members, certainly financially.

  JW internal culture is destroying everything that makes a Jehovah’s Witness

  by ukpimo in

  the entire internal religious culture of the watchtower organization is harmful for its current members.

  the culture seems to traverse ethnic and national barriers.

  however, the worst of each culture all around the world appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the religion in an attempt to make the org fanciful in every nation and locality.

  DOC, I realize there is a down trend, was back in 2001 when I stopped attending anything jw-based. Jws found any way that meant they had less and less reason to go door to door. Stopped even trying to give the appearance of preparing to anything that might interest non-jws to investigate the WTS, didn't make return visits, made themselves feel better turning them over to regular pioneers, never trying to start a "bible study" so they weren't tied down to a specific time, just turned over to regular pioneers. Taking long "breaks," starting out later so "not to wake people up," stopping early at 11 a.m. Counting time for the time they left their house and arrived back home. Faking time. Went out "preaching" only with their own family and faking it, doing errands like picking up dry cleaning, grocery shopping. Making "return visits" on people for 10 years without that person ever attending a meeting at the KH. Writing groups even back then, one phone shared by 15 people, writing letters to family members of people in the obits, freaking them out. One time the WTS commented that some were writing one letter by hand, making 100 copies, and putting them in people's doors and counting 100 hours. I saw all these things happen. I'm sure it has not stopped. Covid just made it worse, easier for people to fake things. The end has been announced by the WTS since 1879, many false starts, and here jws are in 2025 still waiting for Armageddon to come. Less and less contact with someone in person in their so-called preaching work. Will the WTS become an online religion, I have no doubt.

  Biahi, it many depend on the type of sexual assault, laws can differ on a sentence based on that, not a good I thing, but then I don't make the laws. But one can check their own area as to the sentences for crimes like that and let your local/state representative how you feel about that.

  New Footage of the Kingdom Hall that Recetly Was Converted to a Mosque

  with islam being one of the fastest-growing religions in the uk, there’s more need for mosques.

  so when an old church goes up for sale, it’s not exactly surprising that someone might want to turn it into a mosque.

  I hope they remodel and remove the things that identify it as a mosque. Such as buying a church, removing the cross and the steeple. Have seen that done.

  Listener, as you said, better to go the direct source than the suppositions that float around without any foundation.

  When the "overlapping" generation runs out, a good deal of the GB will have died, and the remaining young ones will have to punt, and hopefully there are "qualified" male anointed to replace those on earth. I probably will be long gone myself.

  l can get on too. He is transferring to a new site to accommodate all the new info he has, per his messenger mail to me. I love that site. Contributions from many ex-jws from all over, and ones from ex-jws that have since passed on. If you can send him a thank you for his hard work. Try for a connection on jwfacts.com
