Do you think the brothers who wrote watchtower articles are living in real world?

by Longlivetherenegades in

do you think the brothers who wrote watchtower articles are living in real world?........

david splane........ powerful by faith convention 2021 video.

please i got an excerpt of this from another video but the response by david splane is not included.

Do they have to face rent increases of 50% and more? We certainly do. Do they face collapsing home prices, where big companies are buying homes out from the public so they can rent them at exorbitant prices? And what about electricity? I wonder where their rolling blackouts are. And are they going to worry about being drafted into World War III?

And the little things. Do they drive mile after mile, kilometer after kilometer, seeing whole sections of forest ruined by invasive species such as Chinese wisteria, oriental bittersweet, porcelain berry, common buckthorn, and whatever invasive vines are growing in their area? Or do they simply fly first class to get to their destinations (to heaven with their "carbon footprint")? Do they deal with stupid little issues such as all the litterbugs that ruin our streams and highways?

Not to mention the irritation of going into your favorite store and finding your items all out of stock, for months at a time. And no, not just the latest Nintendo game. Items like baby formula, toilet paper, cat food, cleaning supplies, and staple food items. And when they do come back in stock, the prices are double and the packages are about half the size they used to be. Or, the customers that blame the stock person for these shortages--which are more widespread, yet they insist that the person stocking it is to blame. And pretty soon, we will have nothing but Walmart to shop at--do they care about that abomination being the only place you can shop at, or do they shop exclusively there?

New Light, New Light!

by BoogerMan in

more accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.

september 2022 study watchtower - par.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.

WTWizard

Why resurrect those practicing "vile" things in the past, just to judge them for such in the future? Either they are worthy of a favorable judgment, or it would be completely stupid to waste the time and energy resurrecting them only to have to destroy them.

JWs still paranoid about covid

by neat blue dog in

in the newest governing body update loesche recounts the experience of a jw who was pleased with the results of resuming in-person ministry.

he said, 'i thought people would be scared of the virus, but they were welcoming!

' - 🤣 um maybe he doesn't get out much because kingdom halls are one of the few places left except hospitals that require masks.

WTWizard

They didn't seem too scared of it when it was still new, and when next to nothing was known about it. How dangerous is it? They could have been spreading a disease as serious as the Plague, for all we knew about it back then--yet they were still doing field circus door to door.

Now, we know that it barely causes any sickness at all--and that being exposed to it while taking simple quercetin will render the "disease" so wimpy that you would get sicker simply breathing the dry cleaning fumes from people's suits. And yet they still expect people to wear those useless masks, after we know they do not work and that the "disease" is the wimpiest on the planet? Not to mention, trying to require vaccines that are the real threat as a condition to returning, on the whim of just one hounder?

Erotic cringey convention drama

by neat blue dog in

check out this convention drama, starting at 21:38 ... david breaths and describes what he sees as bathsheba takes a bath 😅 then they get together and keep weirdly quoting song of solomon in a twisted way... and he keeps calling her sister and later on even "little sister" 😳 just wacko:.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-btbnfknidg&feature=youtu.be.

WTWizard

And why do they keep on highlighting this tyrant? Are they pretending to be Jews in the Promised Land, or on their way there? (Which they are not.) What next, using an outdated map of Israel to get around even when they are not there? Obeying the whole Mosaic code? Imposing the full of Noahide Law on the whole world, or within the congregation?

And if they are disobeying Natural Law by keeping this filthy law of the bible (and I don't care which "testament"--both go against nature), of course they are going to "sin". Perhaps the problem is, not with people disobeying these rules, but the rules themselves?

Did the ransom sacrifice even work?

by Sharpie in

shower thought entered my mind the other day... jesus christ.

as per doctrine.

is still alive in heaven right now correct?

WTWizard

The whole concept of "original sin" is a tool to remove all hope from the earth. You condemn us for not following laws from some alien world, which defy nature. Then you invent some archetype of the perfect slave, "sacrifice" this never-existing entity, then expect everyone to act like this perfect slave. Once it reaches a sufficient level, it is imposed on all of humanity. And it worked--twice. The first time was when the xians (who were persecuted because they were subverting the Romans) got into the government and then persecuted regular people. And this time, they are pushing communism--our freedom is gone.

There is no ransom. We are all hostage, not to any original sin, but to the Pleiades laws that defy common sense. That thing they call a god wants to use us up and throw us away--the whole thing of its taking credit for creating us is another way to take away our rights to live proper lives in accordance to natural law. And, eventually we will all be hostages to Noahide Law--and with no ransom provided against that.

The Deadly Winter of 2028/29

by BoogerMan in

jw
friends

a brief summary: (not summery!).

november 2028: the prime minister has announced that all but emergency travel is forbidden due to the dangers of the very cold weather, as predicted by imperial college london computer models.

everyone except emergency service staff and food retailers must work from home.. to protect people, the government will provide all citizens with a newly designed duffel coat, which when tested on 43 people in clinical trials during a 5 day period, proved completely safe and effective for maintaining body heat.. december 2028: conspiracy theorists are now spreading misinformation on the internet which claim that asbestos fibers are integrated into the duffel coat material, causing many people to reject the offer of a free duffel coat.. january 2029: the government has now issued new directives under the 2028 brass monkey weather act which require that all government & nhs employees must wear the protective duffel coat, or face being dismissed.

WTWizard

And what about those who are smart enough to realize a duffel coat is not going to protect their feet, hands, and face from severe frostbite? Or that people in the Arctic face even worse cold without issues? For this amount of cold, the best protection is keeping your head warm (a hat, not a duffel coat, works best for that), your hands and feet from freezing, and dressing in layers. Thermal underwear, a good heavy sweatshirt, a sweater, and a parka work best for this. And these last as long as the outer layer remains in good condition, not just for a few months.

Best: When it gets warmer, you simply remove some of the layers.

As for wearing a specific type of coat, I would rather trust people that endure that type of weather every year on how to adapt to that. Do that, and the cold might not even be serious enough to warrant any emergency action. (Except, perhaps, not going in field circus or to church because doing that is simply a waste of time.)

Aussies closed all the coal power plants...now we have blackouts no electricity!

by Witness 007 in

so we have been "green" blowing up all our coal power plants now they are saying we are like north korea...expect regular power blackouts.

who is running this show?.

WTWizard

And not a peep about not wasting energy. How much energy does a church waste during a service? How much energy do people waste by going to and from church, including jokehovians in field circus? The jokehovians are probably the biggest energy wastrels on the planet--and all the cars they drive in field circus probably puts more carbon dioxide in the air, for stupid things, than those power plants generating needed electricity. (Of which some is used to charge cars that are later used to go to church or in field circus, or to power those churches.)

While that might not be much, it would at least be a start. Stop going to church (bonus: You also stop supporting with your spiritual energy global enslavement while saving energy). You go to boasting sessions, stop. You go out in field circus, stop. That would not only save energy, but perhaps give those who want us regressing their own energy crisis--in the form of a shortage of spiritual energy.

Worship study this week

by road to nowhere in

since i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).

worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.

thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

WTWizard

And they wonder why I donate nothing? This is pure communism--you are expected to donate what they feel you can, so they can allocate it to where you don't want (such as your next Africa mission). I don't get any value for donating--aside negative value in the form of curses. So they are not getting another penny from me.

After all, I do not want to finance their forcing me to do a life long mission through Africa.

Hospitality for speaker

by road to nowhere in

jw
friends

there seem to be hospitality starting again.

fully vaccinated and assume masked.

neither a set in stone rule.

WTWizard

They want what I call hospitality? I hope they like Christmas music the whole time, with my sun-worship lights on (all summer). Or, Led Zeppelin music. And I will "forget" about their dietary restrictions, and deny any liability for anything that happens as a result. Their sole recourse is not to be stupid enough to ask me again.

They don't provide me with anything but curses and bad luck, so they don't deserve anything from me except getting sick and having their bad luck right back. And "sick" doesn't mean this wimpy coronavirus. I mean Spanish flu sick.

1914- responsible for the biggest decrease in JW's?

by joey jojo in

theres a couple of threads re: 1914 on the board right now and it got me thinking.. the jw doctrine of the 1914 generation is a key doctrine , yet it is probably the number one reason most have left over the decades.. 1975- within one generation.. 1995 - new understanding of the word generation.. 2010- overlapping generation first mentioned- some anointed survive armageddon.. 2015- infamous overlapping generations chart featuring david splane.. its obvious the org is changing the goalposts and constantly trying to squeeze as much time as they can before they have to abandon this altogether.

or will they come up with something new?.

does anyone else think this ever changing doctrine is responsible for the biggest loss of members?.

WTWizard

You want genuine growth? In Europe, America, and Australia, this is not going to do the job. Altering these "a generation" is not going to keep people in those lands active. And without this, where are they going to come up with money and missionaries to send to Africa so they can keep those numbers propped up?

You might get people in parts of the world where ignorance is supreme with this. Try this in Nigeria, Cameroon, The Congo, Burundi, and the areas surrounding this, and most people there will fall for it. But, who is going to be willing to help if they realize the whole jokehovian system is bogus? No one is going to learn to speak French (much of Africa is French speaking) or Spanish (as in Latin America), suffer the hardships, and do all that hard work for a bad religion where they can't even keep the narrative straight.

Not to mention the persecution. Last I knew, the work is banned in Burundi (besides, anyone interested in missionary work there needs to become fluent in French). What other countries will be next? And, even where it is legal, you get tribal persecution--and who wants to learn those languages? All for a religion where "the truth" keeps being altered like this.

Sure, they might see growth there. But without missionaries, those congregations will be left to flounder. Not to mention, there is no money coming from America or Europe--there goes the means to spread more of those worthless bibles in the Third World.
