  just been watching a youtube video by jw escape, lovely lady.

  the subject was this weeks watchtower - “are you ready to obey?”.

  what a blatant psyop this is.

  What has the Spiritual Paradise of the WTS been over time

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first mention i find in the wts publications is 1958. although the wts says the index goes from 1930 to 1985, nothing appears before 1958 a search only found by using the phrase "spiritual paradise" not in the index.

  in 2015 there was a clarification of the phrase "of course, we should not conclude that the terms “spiritual paradise” and “spiritual temple” are the same.

  the spiritual temple is god’s arrangement for true worship.".

  Well, that Kilts link gives a history of the "short-kilts" as coming from a "military" background. So it is something the Tower could complain about.

  I have all the stuff ready for you, but the last listing was for the 2015 Annual Meeting talk by Lett. Lett states that 1919 was the date at time stamps, 15 to 16 minutes into the talk.

  I would need to send all this stuff to you with a download link. That portion of the Annual Meeting is over an hour long, so it will be a little large in size.

  I wasn't sure if you were asking me or BoogerMan above. If you need the articles for all those quotes up there, just let me grab another cup of coffee and I'll get right on it for you.

  You may as well grab a cup too!

  Many JW's do not realize that they had already been inspected in 1879 and found fit. So why would they need to be inspected again in 1918 or 1919?

  What were the Bible Students practicing back in 1879?

  
  

  Christmas, Birthdays, Easter, and so on and so on!

  Article: Face of Co Kerry woman jailed for grooming and having sex with teenage boy

  by Tahoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is the first image of the convicted child groomer who confessed to her jehovah’s witness congregation that she groomed a boy from the age of 14 before having sex with him two years later.. .

  perverted pamela lonergan, who went on to work in childcare settings and as a carer in the community, admitted four counts of defilement of a child under the age of 17.. the offences occurred at locations in kerry and cork in 2008 and 2009.. appearing before cork circuit court earlier this month, lonergan of treanmanagh, glenbeigh, co kerry, received a one year jail sentence for the offences.. speaking afterwards, one local said the community had been stunned to learn of lonergan’s abuse.. he said another neighbour had met lonergan on the road the week before the trial and she had told him she was moving up to cork for a while.. “ obviously she thought her name wasn’t going to be disclosed in the media,” he said.. “if the victim hadn’t waived his anonymity to allow this happen, she’ have come back here when she got out and we’d have been none the wiser.”.

  cork circuit criminal court heard lonergan was 26 when she first started initiating contact with the minor, having met him in a social setting.

  Jehovah's Witness Literature Carts.

  One BOE states that JW's should "not" display their Bibles. This statement is also found in the 2014 February Kingdom Ministry on page 4. (See the Kingdom Ministry scan with a "Red Box" at the bottom left.)

  
  

  The carts were actually started in France in 2001. There have been many different styles of carts.

  
  

  The PDF file of the history of these literature carts can be found in the Internet Archives. There is a tiny scroll button on the right to scroll down, or you can download the entire PDF.
