  I think the guy in the video (R & R?)

  The video is from JW Updates. He has some videos on youtube. That is not me posting that video.

  Then about a year ago we had another vote, this was for congregations who still held the title deeds to their KH to sign them over and also to vote to leave the Charity Commission. This would make life easier for the congregation secretary as he would no longer have to submit the annual accounts and report to the CC.

  Do you find anything sinister about this? A little paperwork for the secretary to fill out and now you give the Society control?

  St George of England : What do you think is happening? Do you think they will sell off some/most congregations? Will they blame the pandemic for the selloff? Will they continue/discontinue zoom meetings?
  

  The Society use all their ''yes men'' to push all their money making schemes to benefit the Society. Most members will sleep during this scheme and donate their time and money to a never ending cycle that never benefits their members...ALL IN THE NAME OF JEHOVAH!

  TIME TO WAKE UP!

  Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

  .

  the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

  Faithful slave?
  by Kosonen 14 years ago
  I was batised when I was 13. Then 3 years ago I started to do what the organisation says about biblereading. To read a lot and to start the reading by asking guidance from Jehovah God. And often I have asked God to teach me someting new before the bible reading. And He have given me a lot of new understanding.

  Kosonen: You wrote the above statement 14 years ago. Do you believe the Jehovah gives guidance to the Governing Body? How did/does God give you new understanding? Since Revelation was written in code, who really understands the code today? The Watchtower Society have failed in their predictions the last 140 years!

  I would say , to be fair to them , that UK JWs probably aren't as rabid as their US counterparts in general.

  "Prosperity Gospel" preachers like Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar and Ken Copeland live in luxury with huge mansions and private jets. They put on a "holy act" to squeeze money out of naïve followers. They justify their lavish mode of travel by insisting they need private jets to effectively spread the word of God. Flying commercial airlines takes up too much time flying from city to city. A private jet gives them more comfort and more time to fleece their gullible followers.

  MATTHEW 19: 21
  Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

  04-2022 Q from Readers on Divorce

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  any comments on the 04/2022 question from readers on divorce and remarriage.. "if a christian divorces his wife without scriptural grounds and then marries another person, how does the congregation view the previous marriage and the new marriage?".

  why does that even matter how the congregation views anything?

  they should be minding their own business.. if people move to a different area, the congregation wouldn't even know about.. (if a guy remarries a woman with the same first name, she would end up with the same name and no one would know).

  Foolednomore

  I was Divorced from abusive partner. The congregation, the elders told me that I could not remarry. If I would remarry it would not be scriptural. This reason #15 why I'm no longer a Jw.

  I don't blame you Foolednomore for leaving your abusive partner and the organization. Here is a Watchtower Study article where a physically abusive husband becomes a danger to his wife's health and her life. So, what is the Watchtower solution? You can separate or you can still remain with the unbelieving mate ( getting physically abused) and wait ( with more abuse) until he becomes a true worshipper. What a sick and disturbing article!

  December 2018 STUDY ARTICLE :

  Honor “What God Has Yoked Together”

  17 Admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” He might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger. He might refuse to support her and the family or severely endanger her spirituality. In such cases, some Christians have personally decided that, despite what he might say, the mate is not “agreeable to staying” together and that a separation is necessary. But other Christians in comparably difficult situations have not; they have endured and tried to work at improving matters. Why?

  18 In such a separation, the two are still marriage mates. If they lived apart, each one would face challenges, as mentioned earlier. The apostle Paul gave another reason for staying united. He wrote: “The unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.” (1 Cor. 7:14) Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances. They can testify that doing so was worthwhile in a special sense when their mate became a true worshipper. —Read 1 Corinthians 7:16; 1 Pet. 3:1, 2.

  Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif is the largest mosque in Afghanistan

  An estimated 99.7% of the Afghan population ( 40,218,234 ) is Muslim and most are thought to adhere to the Sunni Hanafi school. Afghan Christians, who number 500–8,000, practice their faith secretly due to intense societal opposition, and there are no public churches.

  Looks are there aren't many/if any. And if they do exist, they practice in secret. There isn't any Good News of the Kingdom being preached in Afghanistan. So what is the Watchtower's take on nations that never hear the good news? Isn't the Watchtower Society blood guilty due to them not preaching to these nations? And if God will resurrect all people who never had a chance to hear the good news, why preach to anyone?

  STUDY ARTICLE 21

  Revelation—What It Means for Your Future

  17 Who will benefit from these wonderful provisions? First of all, the great crowd of Armageddon survivors, along with any children who may be born in the new world. But Revelation chapter 20 also promises that the dead will be resurrected. (Read Revelation 20:11-13.) Faithful “righteous” ones who died in the past along with “unrighteous” ones​—who did not receive an adequate opportunity to learn about Jehovah—​will all come back to life here on the earth. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29) Does this mean that everyone will be resurrected to life on earth during the Thousand Year Reign? No. Those who wickedly rejected the opportunity to serve Jehovah before their death will not be raised to life. They had their chance and proved that they were not worthy of life on the Paradise earth.​—Matt. 25:46; 2 Thess. 1:9; Rev. 17:8; 20:15.

  Pat Roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction. Pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along. After all his failed predictions on his ''700 CLUB,'' Pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a Bible prophecy. This doomsday predication might bail him out of his slump in ''false predictions,'' before he dies.
  

  His 92 year old oxygen starved brain tells him that God is compelling Russian President Vladimir Putin to attack Ukraine and use Ukraine as a staging ground to prepare for the ''end times'' invasion of Israel.

  Pat Robertson ends with, '' Watch what's going to happen next. You read the Bible because it's coming to pass.''

  Pat your end will be here sooner than the ''end times''! Pat, go back in hiding before you get caught scamming old grandma's money!

  Some girls in his class took this as a challenge and tried to persuade Olof to have sex with them. But Olaf ''stood firm'' for what is right. And this was not the only pressure he faced.
