As with anything JW related, you cant look deep into the subject. Their whole religion collapses once you do that. The org teach that Gods name is Jehovah. However once you look further into the subject, you find that its not. They teach that they have preached to the whole world, whereas in reality, at least a third of the world have never even heard of Jehovahs witnesses, And so it goes on.

Watchtower Society organization functions as the only spokesman on earth for Jehovah...Wait! There may be others
by RULES & REGULATIONS inpraise jehovah with his people.
w73 7/1 pp.
4 consider, too, the fact that jehovah’s organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by god’s holy spirit or active force.

Yes Im sure that was a real eye opener to a lot of people. Every JW knows that the org claim they are the only channel God is using. Hopefully that statement helped a lot of witnesses to break free from the cult -

I don't get it - Praying before eating while ...
by menrov ini noticed recently.
there was an item in the news on some terrible / horrific child pornography in germany.
really disgusting to hear what these people were doing with children as young as a few months.

I always found praying before a meal so stupid. My JW father in law would say Jehovah please bless this food we are about to eat. What the hell does that mean. Make sure it doesnt poison us ???

Tonight's Meeting
by Studyover induring tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.
it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".
i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

They just want to be in control of any spare money a JW has. The thought of money going to a JW woman who doesnt need it would give the governing body members heart attacks

GB teaching - Gays and Lesbians will be resurrected as Gays and Lesbians
by Listener inthe final talk of the saturday afternoon online convention is given by lett, sporting a creepy looking combover, which for some reason, looks creepier than normal.
he talks about how those resurrected will need to come into line with a new moral code otherwise they will be destroyed.
he uses an example of gay people having to turn away from their inclinations even though they may feel that they are perfectly acceptable.. this demonstrates that the gb feel that being gay is a taught behaviour rather than an imperfect unnatural desire, otherwise they would be growing out of that desire as they develop towards perfection, as they teach.

They have already said that people will be resurrected with their same personality,likes and dislikes. The bible says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. So nothing new here, just saying it more clearly. Although funny to hear that someone gay could have 100 years to change their ways lol

Zoom meetings, how long ?
by Phizzy ini was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.
and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.

I really cant see them getting rid of kingdom halls. They are the one way they can get guarranteed income worldwide. They build new halls with free labour then years lster sell them at a big profit, then it starts over again, after a short time

Watchtower Sues to Keep Convention Videos Off Internet
by Sea Breeze inhttps://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/07/20/mormonleaks-founders-pay/?fbclid=iwar31g8tcjkq3dtzxjx6mhinhqnk6fequaiwu_278zkhia6vmbyb6ha_jz28.
so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?
what happened to advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom?

They dont want anybody checking and going over the material who is not a JW. When a JW watches the videos, they are not normally using any critical thinking, they just get emotionally attached to whatever is being said or shown. Nothing new here, but be interesting to see what actually happens.
