Is the Governing Body hunting down PIMOs? LEAKED survey for select congregations in Canada

by liam in

it seems like the organization is hunting down pimos.

maybe the mark o donnell lawsuit is just the beginning.. this leaked survey in canada is asking some very weird questions from select publishers.

all i can say is that this will help wake up some pimi straddling the fence.

BluesBrother

I have heard speak of a survey, sent to selected publishers, here in the U K too.

Nobody that I know well has been asked to complete it .

Speaking for Almighty God, they endorsed RADIUM

Interesting articles and, yes, we know that the Society through the pages of the Golden Age ( later Awake ! ) often made some pretty extreme comments in the old days .Even today many Witnesses have lingering doubts about regular doctors and favour alternative therapies. Btw, I have definitely benefited from Osteopaths and Chiropractic therapy, but that is hardly extreme.

Many years back when I was still a believer, I could see that such comments on medicine and science were only the view of the article writer although then I accepted that the doctrinal stuff was “ spirit directed “ .

But how does this involve Watctower ?

Changed View of Post Armageddon and Paradise Conditions ?

by HereIam60 in

when i first came into contact with jehovah's witnesses they were talking about god's kingdom bringing about a peaceful new world.

the scripture used being psalm 37:10,11 "just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more.you will look at where they were and they will not be there., but the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delightin the abundance of peace..".

i took this to mean, then, that when jehovah intervened, at his appointed time, it would be instantly, invisibly, and painlessly.

Some of them are silly enough to take these WT pictures for real, rather than just an artist’s view….

But cities? Where the hell did that come from? Everyone’s view of a new world is not to live in a city but a green and verdant land .. I would like to have a reference to Splane’s talk to hear what he said , if it is still there.

So now, instead of a convention from the USA , we can see our own R. convention from the local stadium - IF we are a person considered worthy by the Local BOE ….

I am sure it will still end up on the net .

Is anyone watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu?

by Biahi in

after finishing season 6, episode 5, it occurred to me that, if the jws were right, (they’re not), the “new system” would end up being very much like this.

picture the commanders as the elders.. it’s a riveting series.

i wanted to see it, because i read the book when it first came out.

BluesBrother

“ new system” would end up being very much like this”

I have to disagree. If the current elders had free rein , maybe. But I know mature dubs who look forward to the New World so as to see an end to the current regime of elders. Their belief is that God and Jesus Christ will then be in charge, making the decisions based on real Christian principles with insight, not flawed men.

Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025

by raymond frantz in

the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.

each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.

we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

BluesBrother

The article says “blood fractions” as though red cells, white cells, plasma and platelets were not also fractions, but of course they are . It is the rule of the GB that only allows other fractions to be taken medically. So whose rule are they following? Man’s rule or Gods ?

Scripture says “ It is in vain they worship me if they teach commands of men as doctrine “

Nb. “Shepherd the Flock 2024 makes it plain that if one unrepentantly takes “ blood” they disassociate themselves

Memorial attendance

by Balaamsass2 in

curious.

what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?

BluesBrother

Yes, I noticed that Easter is a week later . But both the JW Memorial and the Jewish Passover were this weekend gone . I am not sure how they calculated Easter but bothdubs and Jews followed the “ first full moon after the Spring Equinox “ principle.

We zoomed in and were singularly unimpressed with the talk delivery .
