  Seven Generations

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  by chance i came across a watchtower of june 1, 2015, and it has an article in it, “a legacy that has lasted seven generations”.

  it’s written by a guy called kevin williams and it starts with this ancestor thomas williams (1815-1891) and continues his story down to the present through his family.

  but hold on a minute, how can this guy’s twelve relatives span seven generations?

  While JWs say 1+1 = 1

  Trinitarian's say 1+1+1 = 1

  Vidiot - After all, being an active, dutiful JW isn't actually the easiest or most pleasant lifestyle.

  Correct, but at a recent WT meeting, we were told that Jehovah's Witness's are the happiest family on earth.

  Who are we going to believe? Our imperfect thinking and reasoning, or the information that is lovingly provided to us from the GB as spiritual food?

  Great tribulation

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  you've likely heard all this before, but i had to laugh (silently) at the public talk today.. he focused on how close we are to the end.

  we're not only in the last days, but we're in "the final part" of the last days.. also, we are nearing "the end of the final part of the last days".

  he didn't read any scriptures backing up how the last days are broken up like this.. i went today since relatives es were visiting, but it was more entertaining than usual.. as well, the gb isn't warning us about armageddon, rather they're mainly warning about the great tribulation, which is "very, very, close!

  Do You Know Of Anyone Who Left JWs And Then Decided To Return?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.

  however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.

  i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.

  The sad thing about is many people leave the religion but the religion never leaves them

  That is true, and come to think of it, that is probably the reason most of us come here...

  An old JW friend of mine from the 1990's moved away and left WT (rumor had it for not accepting some teachings), I had not seen or heard of him for more than 15+ years, but at this last convention I spotted him in the crowd sitting not to far away from where I was. Then to impact on the shock of seeing him there, he turned out to also be an attendant.

  One must remember, these Governments are SATAN'S tools.

  
  

  Yes, and dont forget to remain loyal to jehovah's organization, you dont want to loose out on your reward. Jehovah's enemies will try anything to rob you of that reward. So please brothers, remain loyal in the face opposition.

  Those awkward magazines

  by Addison0998 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’m sure we all remember those really weird, awkward magazines we were expected to place in service.

  and it was before we are had the website or the thing on the back to fall back on.

  imagine being a 12 year old girl, and having to place magazines on god’s view of pornography, sex, homosexuality.

  I remember being on the TMS and given a talk slip on those subjects. Had to make those talks last 5 minutes back then. Thanks WT, that sped up my decision to ask to be removed from the TMS. I dont miss it one bit.

  New releases at annual meeting??

  by _Morpheus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.

  instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.

  what is their thinking?

  Looks like there are 2 new release's:

  At the annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania on October 6, 2018, two new publications were released. The book Pure Worship of Jehovah—Restored At Last! is based on the prophecy of Ezekiel, and the brochure Apply Yourself to Reading and Teaching is designed to help Jehovah’s Witnesses improve their reading and teaching skills.

  The Pure Worship book in English and the Teaching brochure in several languages are now available on the jw.org website and in the JW Library app. At a later time, the Pure Worship book will be released in additional languages.

  It was also announced at the annual meeting that the Governing Body has approved a significant revision of our websites and applications. The jw.org website will be redesigned to include the content and features of JW Broadcasting and Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY. Additionally, the JW Library app will be redesigned to incorporate the content and features of Watchtower Library as well as content that now appears only on the jw.org website. The overall appearance of the new website and the new app will be unified and become even more user-friendly. For example, to ensure that the redesigned website and app are not too hard to navigate, key aspects will be simplified to help users find spiritual food quickly. Planning and design work have already begun on this large project. You should begin to see certain improvements within a few months.

  When she was dreaming, she should have seen the answer in her dream, I did, and wrote that down. That's not cheating.

  I'm thinking most kids watching this for see it simply as a cartoon, the bigger stuff going on here, is designed for the adults. WT writers know that adults of all ages will also be watching these cartoons.
