let's share some notable wts quotations that demonstrate the arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy etc.
of the watchtower leadership.
“‘zion’s watch tower’ has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.
"However, if one’s motive in putting up a wind
chime has nothing to do with false religion, superstition or demonism, and
there is little possibility of others’ getting the wrong impression regarding
its use in the home, it is a simple matter for personal decision." (Watchtower 1981

a bit late in coming, but i have a new article on the cry of peace and security at https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/peace-and-security.php.
this was prompted by trump using the term peace and security a few times in 2017 and 2018, and the excitement this generated amongst jehovah's witnesses.
i would love to see other quotes you like on this topic, or texts and experiences..
Politicians have spoke for years about peace and security. That is why every now and then JWs get excited when someone speaks about it. Peace and security does occur sometimes but only in a limited way. I certainly wouldnt be geting excited about anything Trump says.
this sort of thing ?
"jehovah's witnesses state that black lives matter, as all lives matter".
" jehovah's witnesses join black lives matter rally".
Its because in their religion, all colours are accepted. Certainly here in the uk, it makes no difference if you are black, brown or white JW. Its the one good thing that JWs have done worldwide, ie treat all colours the same. Rightly or wrongly they have no interest in trying to change how non JWs treat each other.
they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.
they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.
and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.
Many of us stayed for over 20 years, so clearly we felt at the time there was a benefit. for me it was a large group of instant friends. I was18 and only had a few friends, then suddenly after joining there would be countless. And we had a great time in each others company. Going out for drinks, meals together, concerts it was all good fun. Then suddenly once i had realized the truth was not the truth, one by one all those so called friends deserted me.
with the upcoming elections, the campaigns and political rhetoric are ramping up.
(ramping up is an understatement lol) .
i remember a few years ago, gb member brother herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice.
I think JWs would say voting can be ok, if its not anything to do with the politics of the world. I believe Ray Franz said in his books, that the governing body regularly voted, to show if they agreed with something that was brought up at their meetings. So its now a conscience matter, but you would certainly be looked down upon if anyone found out you were voting for a political party.
so within a week he changed the end time chain of events.
this time he said false religion will be along side with the govt.
powers when they declare peace and security!
The religion has completely changed now. JWS have no interest at all in answering peoples well thought out questions. All they want are people who just meekly agree with everything they are told. They are simply not capable any more in answering questions about why JWs have the doctrines they have.
a plane with 99 people on board has crashed into a populated area of karachi, but at least two of the passengers survive.
one of them is reported as saying, “god has been merciful”.
what kind of mercy was shown to the other 100 or more that died?.
Its a typical thing that religious people say. Watchower members are just as stupid
it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.
i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.
i would be surprised.
I think there will be a lot of witnesses that will inflate the figures, so they look reasonable when the elders see them.
sorry if i missed this topic....since the governing body is not going "snitch" on how many has covid-19, have they at least made it public as to how bethel / bethel family is following safety procedures during covid-19?.
Basically the org just repeat what the government have said to everyone, but
make out thats its info from God's channel.
a friend of ours who is married to a jw said that this morning for service everyone who was on zoom got to do a call while the rest listened in on the call.
there were thirty-one this morning listening in on one who would call someone to preach to.
shouldn't the person they are calling on be warned first that there will be so many listening in on their phone call from the zoom meeting.
I think Watchtower are really afraid of their end of year figures going down. It would show very clearly that they are not protected or blessed by jehooba. Im pretty sure there must be a law against sharing a video presentation with countless others. Although surely the householder would see they are being fimed
