22First 3 Presidents never knew JC began his reign as King in 1914 ?
by smiddy3 inthe first 3 presidents of the i.b.s.a ./ jehovah`s witnesses / wtb&ts.. w.h.conley ,c.t.russell ,j.f.rutherford .. how many jehovah`s witnesses know that ?
how many ex jehovah`s witnesses knew that ?
the wt society teaches that jesus returned to begin his "invisible presence" in 1914 directing his attention toward the earth as ruling king.

Profanity on Surrey Kingdom Hall
by lssjr inif it is a non-jw who did this as a result of their pandemic campaign (letter-writing and telephone calls), jehovah’s witnesses really need to check themselves.
they have been directed by their new york headquarters (since last year shortly after the start of the pandemic) to send letters to only people they know.
people don’t like receiving unwanted, unrequested, unsolicited letters and phone calls, especially from jehovah’s witnesses.. if it is a former member who received a letter as a result letter-writing pandemic campaign- most former members do not like being harassed by active jehovah’s witnesses and have been directed by their new york headquarters to send letters to and call only people they know.. .

Is that correct?

Why does God need to be worshipped?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe bible exhorts us to “worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.”—deuteronomy 4:24; revelation 14:7.. insight on the scriptures, volume 2 pp 1200-1202. worshipone of the hebrew words conveying the idea of worship (ʽa·vadhʹ) basically means “serve.” (ge 14:4; 15:13; 29:15) serving or worshiping jehovah required obedience to all of his commands, doing his will as a person exclusively devoted to him.
(ex 19:5; de 30:15-20; jos 24:14, 15) therefore, for an individual to engage in any ritual or act of devotion toward any other gods signified his abandoning true worship.—de 11:13-17; jg 3:6, 7.another hebrew term that can denote worship is hish·ta·chawahʹ, which primarily means “bow down” (ge 18:2), or do obeisance.
(see obeisance.

I have always disliked the term "Family Worship". We shouldn't worship family. Just like goat worship is worshipping goats. Why was it not called something like family study which is more like what it is?

What to do with old publications
by TonyMorronTheTurd inhi guys,.
it's been a while since i posted here, but i feel like posting again.. it's hard sometimes to find the energy to post here after i expend all my time working a full time job and pretending i care about the wt$ at the same time.. i've been trying to slowly wake my girlfriend up ever since i first posted here, and i must say it is a long waiting game that i am playing right now.
almost all my efforts are dismissed and i've been slowly losing hope.. anyways, what i meant to really post here today is about old publications.. honestly anything that has to do with the watchtower and jdubs, as of recently makes me feel like vomiting.

If you sell your old books, please donate the money back to WT. Well that was what I was told I had to do. Even though I had already paid WT once before at the time when you still had to pay for them.

Thoughts on JW funerals
by Syme ini recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.
the first was a few months ago and the second today.
the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.

I Have also recently watched a funeral via zoom and was shocked by how little was mentioned about the person. It started with a quick 30 - 45 sec overview of the persons life, then a 25min JW talk ending with another 30 to 45 sec talk about the person. Most watching would have been his non JW family members, im sure they would have been disgusted with it all.

He must have been a rebel in days past, working for a church has always been discouraged, if not prohibited
But selling a KH to a church is fine.

Hypocritical Stance of Jehovah`s Witnesses Over The Years.
by smiddy3 ini`m thinking of times when the jw organization has been hypocritical in their beliefs / practices .
they make sure they are no part of christendom in any way shape or form ,the understanding the r&f have of the organization.. the r&f members are not to have any dealings with christendoms religions in business or otherwise.. but what does the jw organization do ?
they sell watchtower property to christendoms churches for profit .. the r&f are to be separate from the world and call the league of nations and it`s successor the united nations the counterfeit kingdom of god ,the abhorrent thing standing in the place of god ?.

Continually being told to simplify our life, reduce the amount of hours we spend at work so as to spend more of our valuable time in serving jw.org or where the need is great. And then when finally you have gone too far and fall into financial hardship, it becomes the fault of Satan and this wicked old system of things.

Has ARC and all the media coverage has it affected the number of active JWs in Australia ?
I don't think so. Almost all JWs will show their loyalty and support to jw.org with greater respect than ever before. They have been told that Satan is the one behide this negative news and how they need to stand firm against all his lies, especially those that attack Jehovah's earthly organization. It would be so sad if any JW were to think that the redress scheme is set up to help and support victims.
