  NEW LIGHT ON THE 144,000 EXPLAINED

  by raymond frantz in

  the watchtower’s approach to "new light" is, frankly, a masterclass in manipulation.

  when they introduce a new interpretation or change their teachings, it's presented as a revelation, showcasing just how guided and spiritually in-tune the governing body is.

  Marcial--News and Update on Atlantis!

  by Atlantis in

  news on the person you call (atlantis!).

  (before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.

  he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.

  Thank you for the update Petra! yes, keep talking to him when you can, some who have come out of comas say they could hear what was going on and what was said. Not everybody but some can.

  Much thanks to Atlantis and to you Petra, wishing you both peace.

  DISFELLOWSHIPPING UPDATES JWFACTS.COM

  by blondie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have followed an ex-jw website that has many articles on the past history of the wts and current articles using wt publications to tell the real truth not just the edited wt version.

  considering recent changes this link to df'ing was updated in august 2024. it is worth a serious read, puts things in categories and has timely comments from a long-time ex-jw from australia, ex-bethelite and father is a circuit overseer.

  i have used this many times so i don't "reinvent the wheel" when discussing certain topics on jwn.

  by Ron.W. in

  perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.

  from: spirits of the dead​—can they help you or harm you?

  do they really exist?.

  Balaamsass, your right! they are kind of like the National Enquirer back in the day. Or are they still around? (a newspaper/rag in US that you might find near the checkout line in the grocery store; who's having sex with who, who is breaking up this week, who is having an alien baby, etc...)

  Crisis of Conscience available for free on Audible

  i'm unclear on how this has been achieved or if permissions have been given.

  presumably, audible (part of amazon) have their own procedures to ensure legality, but here it is nonetheless;.

  Worked for me yesterday. This was up on reddit too so maybe lots of people trying to get the podcast/book affected that page for now? (I have not started to listen to it yet, read the book years ago.)

  As an outsider that is the main reason I never let my kids step foot in a kh! Their obsession with sex and all the other inappropriate topics in front of children made me sick. AND NO, Christian churches do not have these discussions around children. The elders, MS, whoever... should be arrested for exposing children to sexually explicit material and possibly grooming.

  "A Jehovah's Witness"

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.

  "one of jehovah's witnesses".

  it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

  I also remember when my jw first joined up he said it was disrespectful to say 'jw' instead of the full 'jehovah witness' so naturally I called them dubs.
