I remember telling my jw some of the horrors of this story, you can guess his response. All apostate lies, made up , blah, blah.... I printed out the news story and he naturally refused to read it.

You can't tell me that one person in the kh didn't have some knowledge of this or suspicions over a 19 year period! They were in protect the org mode, every one of those people share in the guilt. They were more worried about their own skin (not getting df'd) and protecting this rotten insidious cult than protecting innocent children.

Remember the disgust they had when Christians would always be talking and singing about Jesus? remember when they would say things like, "it's like they are in love with Jesus or something!"

They made fun of songs like 'Jesus Take the Wheel' or even children's songs like 'Jesus Loves Me'.

Jesus has always been a minor actor in their world. They aren't even allowed to talk (pray) to Jesus, their supposed King. I think this is all a ruse to look more mainstream because they are bleeding adherents lately. If you remember you can't fully know what the wt teaches until you join. That is what a few elders and my jw told me. You mean the wt doesn't actually say what it means? oh, kind of like a cult? or mlm scheme?

They use Jesus' name like a talisman at the end of a prayer, lip service is all.

The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

by ukpimo in

as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.

perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.

how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

I used to think they treated my jw as, "poor brother x, his wife is an opposer and he remains loyal blah, blah..."

Now I wonder if they will say, "brother x has had what? 20 years or so and still no family and his wife is still an opposer and persecutes us!"

What if an elder or Ms has a ubm and no family in? How will they treat them?

Current blood card?

by carla in

i have a question regarding the current blood card- did the blood card always have a spot where the jw gives the elders the authority to pull the plug (so to speak) and to admit them to a long term facility?

as well as no blood, naturally.

if the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible?

carla

Is this error something got hacked or what? (looks like a wt that says- Jesus. God. No. No page can exist without jehovah)

If the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible? The elders could make the spouse end up responsible for all medical care even if the jw had changed their mind or outright lied to the spouse about all of it as jw's are prone to do.

Have there been legal battles between adult patient families and jw elders?

Also, I did not notice the spot for allowing fractions or which ones, etc... is that still on current blood cards?

As a ubm this makes me sick to my stomach to think at the point of death me & my family will have to deal with jw's yet again.

A fun moment

by Vidiot in

my wife of many years is more-or-less pomo, but she still (nominally) believes in jehovah and the bible.. she raised her eyebrows when she realized the full scope of the csa problem… rolled her eyes when letto the clown called babies “little enemies of god”… but today, we apparently crossed a real threshold….

…her response to the governing body being referred to as “our future kings” was….

…“what????!!!!!”.

carla

Forgot to ask, how many 'Kings' can their be? they can't all be the 'King'. Maybe they have to go back to just being mere 'Princes'?

Q about Jesus' sacrifice

i have several jw family members.

i have been shunned many years now.

i was not baptized, but i was indoctrinated as a child.

It has been my experience that jw' s have no concept of salvation in the traditional Christen viewpoint.

It has also been my experience that a jw will not discuss or entertain the mere concept of 'salvation'.. And in no way willl they accept any 'salvation' through or because of Jesus Christ.. In fact, my jw will prefer to run away than to have this conversation, go hide in bathroom, need to answer phone, need to answer neighbor he neglected for months on end , etc......I think he would prefer a tornado than do have an actual discussion.

And, for goodness sakes, never, ever, find youtubes or museum, college, academic, etc... that might negate their beliefs.
