  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  Bethelites dressing up for Halloween

  think about it: they had to go out and buy halloween paraphernalia, then apply makeup & costumes to dress the 'brothers & sisters' up as vampires, witches, mummies etc.

  and you know they were probably joking around the whole time.

  what a bunch of hypocrites, the last gen gb would be turning in their graves to see such a photoshoot at the 'house of god' 😆.

  Is this WT-Halloween costume-dress event a rehearsal or for performance in the orgs filming production? Was it mockery or they were just having FUN - yeah!

  1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

  he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

  a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

  generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

  Per Vidiot: The GB being honest?

  Relinquishing dictatorial authority?

  What planet do you think we’re on?

  EXACTLY! All theatre/show biz -- They're really trying to retain membership and pump up numbers.

  JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

  can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

  i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

  in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

  What made you look behind the jw curtain?

  by Touchofgrey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

  stan livedeath -- reminds me of a call out in service a householder (male) mentioned he used to be a JW and I, being a neophyte, asked him what about now. He chuckled said he just got bored with it. He was kind and said return whenever you want.🤣 I'll never forget -- at time I couldn't imagine anyone having time to become 'bored' w/all the meetings, reading material, etc.

  How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.

  but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?

  new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.

  Was the non-trinity belief handed down to JWs (Russell) via 2nd Day Adventism/England? I've no issue with it but curious. Seventh Day Adventists now promote the trinity but not always the case.

  Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.

  1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.

  not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

  but what they don't say he left started and ran a real estate company and a global real estate consulting firm and apparently after making a fortune come back to bethel a few years ago.

  how in the hell could a non lifer now be anointed and appointed to be a gb member.

  Perhaps GB hiring (haha/GB appointment) knowledgeable in-house real estate individuals as agents for representation re/WT corp's real estate matters great move. Maybe even save them a nickel here or there. Financial advisors, property management, legal firms/accountants/marketing, etc., etc., -- the bus operations in mgmnt. control all exorbitant figures but critical. Hard to imagine the other GB members capable of representing multi-billion dollar real estate co. to professional, knowledgeable, experts.
