when you think about it the jws was foundationaly created upon a single core doctrine which was created close to a 100 years ago, that is the doctrinal year of 1914 .. the leader(s) of the ibsa in 1919 proclaimed that jehovah had selectively chosen them or him as it were by j. rutherford, they also self identified themselves as the anointed class the faithful slave.. from all of these expressive endeavors a new religion sprung up eventually calling themselves the jehovah's witnesses.
years and decades followed where more and more people were lured into the faith making themselves subservient devoted members as well, some also identifying themselves as the anointed class.
the jws proclaimed through their leaders (gb) that they were true loyal witnesses to jehovah's will and purpose, but were they really ?
Finkelstein:
The leader(s) of the IBSA in 1919 proclaimed that Jehovah had selectively chosen them or him as it were by J. Rutherford, they also self identified themselves as the anointed class the Faithful Slave.
But that's not what actually happened. The claim that they were 'chosen' in 1919 was invented much later.
I've dealt with this more here in my review of Pure Worship—Restored at Last, in response to the 'Teaching Box' that attempts to defend their 'selection' of 1919.
i've been waiting for someone to post this and i've haven't seen it yet, perhaps i overlooked it since i don't visit that often.. but here is the link to the discussion.
in it you will find letters and links to this new light.
whether it's true or not, please verify.. as of .
References to congregation "members" were also removed from the August 2020 revision of Pure Worship, those being the only changes made in that revision.
here is one of the many commandments jesus instructed his twelve apostles to keep, follow, and obey!.
here is anthony morris ( supposedly selected by jehovah to keep, follow and obey the sayings of jesus ) name-calling and condemning enemies!
the pharisees used to label people as well.
Awake!, 22 June 2000, page 6:
Name-Calling
Some people insult those who disagree with them by questioning character or motives instead of focusing on the facts. Name-calling slaps a negative, easy-to-remember label onto a person, a group, or an idea. The name-caller hopes that the label will stick. If people reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative label instead of weighing the evidence for themselves, the name-caller’s strategy has worked.

JoenB75:
Some were sealed for Jesus, some for the beast below.
Not quite. The 'beast' in the latter part of Revelation chapter 13 represented Nero. There is no basis for "below" in the text.
The idea of a chip implant is very possible though and and is of course a dream scenario for the marxist powers that want to control people completely
🤦♂️

No. Just no.
so get this, wt has something they're calling a "jw box" that gives people in africa "spiritual food".
the best part, they want donations of $75 for it!
so they don't provide any physical food to people in africa but they can send them "spiritual food" for $75.
joe134cd:
I’m sorry but I can’t seem to find where they are asking for $75.
Seriously?? The JW web page about it says, "Each box costs approximately $75 U.S.". It is the last sentence of the third paragraph. But if your angle is that they aren't explicitly asking for that amount, it should be obvious that the culture of JWs implies that the suggested donation should be made to 'defray the costs'. The article 'suggests' at the end, "How are the costs of this arrangement covered? By donations to the worldwide work, many of which are made via donate.jw.org. Thank you for your generous support."
does anybody know what this message will contain ?
is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?
or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.
LongHairGal:
They must see themselves as the modern day equivalent of Moses going to see Pharaoh.
Indeed. And "modern day" is right, because they don't use the word 'antitypical' as much now , even though they really still think about in the same sense.

As usual their ‘special campaign’ is kind of trite. It’s really just keeping the members (though not actually ‘members’ according to the updated ’Shepherd’ book) busy giving out extra copies of The Watchtower. ‘Government officials’ won’t be the least bit interested in the ‘message’ from the not-the-locusts-anymore. After the dramatic statement that it’s “time to take action”, their proposed ‘action’ is to wait an undefined amount of time until their imaginary friend kills almost everyone.
It’s possible their intent is to get governments to increase their opposition to the extremist views of Jehovah’s Witnesses, except their endtimes scenario (e.g. initial destruction of all religions except Jehovah’s Witnesses) is so unrealistic that it will be mostly just brushed off as nonsense, and most democratic countries give a lot of latitude for people having whatever crackpot religious views they like.
i was never a jw but i lurk in this forum occasionally, trying to rescue some family.
i will spare you those details.. jw.org and jwfacts are there with youtubes out the wazoo but i would appreciate your thought on this.. i know there are contradictions plenty but this is foundational, blatant and current.
i know they typically just blow off.
Jerryh, in 2013 they moved the first ‘inspection’ from 1918 (arrest of watch tower executives) to 1919 (their release). And they moved the ‘appointment’ of the ‘slave’ from Pentecost to 1919.
