i find it ironic that jw.org publishes an article about homosexuality on the day i received july 2020 issue if the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints magazine "ensign" which also has an article on same-sex attraction.
.
regardless, the lds article comes across as more caring than the jw article although in the end members in good standing cannot act upon their same-sex attraction in either religion..

several of the members here have written to us and remarked that they would like to bring their file folders up to date.. some believe they are missing a letter, form, or manual here or there.
so, i asked atlantis to put a folder together for me to send out to folks, so that they could bring their files up to date and fill in missing documents.. the file folder he put together has everything you can think of in it.
including the kitchen sink, bedroom slippers, and extra toilet paper just in case there is another shortage.. the folder goes back 10 years.. 2010 to 2020--06--04 right up until today.
[email protected] please :)
16 german documents and 1 english video arrived.. if you are on the email list these files are already in your email.
just continue with your fried chicken.. if you are not on the email list, reply below and i'll swing by your pm box and leave a download link.. petra!.
Please add me [email protected] :)
i ask the question on the title because there a quite a number of statements the apostle paul made about the coming of jesus and resurrection of the holy ones that never fulfilled.
1 corinthians 15: 51, 52 (nwt) : .
i tell you a sacred secret: we will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.
Y'all it's only been just shy of 2,000 years. Why are you so impatient? What's another millennium or two? It's just right around the corner 😜🤣
here is a photo and article where the governing body claims that the new world bible translation committee and jehovah's ''spirit-begotten sons'' wrote the finest bible translation available to mankind.

“who really is the faithful and discreet slave?”.
Didn't Jesus warn that false Christ's would arise that that "anyone" (not some) saying they are the Christ do not beleive them? It sounds like apostasy crept in like a wolf in sheep's clothing as Jesus predicted and it's recorded in the Bible. In recent years I've been questioning if the Apostle Paul wasn't apostate because he taught things contrary to what Jesus taught.
there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.
Don't forget the Helpers to the Governing Body can be of the other sheep. So they are probably being "groomed" to take over the leadership once there are no more GB left. 😒
old friend (in memorium).
we found the site of our old kingdom hall--no longer a place of cult activity--unless the electric supply business has a dark side.
all those meetings, songs, conversations!
Greetings from Tyler, Texas! I was baptized as a child the first year the Fort Worth Convention Center was used for conventions. Back then it was Tarrant County Convention Center. We would always stay at the Hilton (now Sheraton). I remember being upset no longer going to Will Rogers Coliseum because I loved the architecture.
i went on line looking for old jw songs and some of them were pretty good and some were just awful!.
did you ever like any of those songs?
.
I had several favorites from the brown songbook which I grew up with but one was Make the Truth Your Own (the tune more than the lyrics. I liked how it flowed.) I don't understand why they got rid of the original tune. Also why they ditched Be Glad You Nations. The new song book is worse than the 2009 one.
here's a link to a common form that publishers are required to fill in if they want to participate in city cart witnessing:.

note on the reverse of the form comments that elders write, and a box to rate your "spirituality"!
They want to make sure the applicant is indoctrinated aka brainwash so as to not out a "bad name on Jehovah". Its micromanaging which Jesus specificslly spoke against when he said the pharacies bind people with rules. I can't see Jesus requiring this.

Heaven forbid the meeting goes over 7 minutes. That two minutes from one talk and five minutes feom the CBS might not be enough. I might need an additional .5th of a minute taken from the bible highlights portion.
And they need a script for an introduction to the video?? Talk about Theocratic Micromanaging.
