Nisan 14 or not?

by LostintheFog1999 in

if jesus memorial meal is meant to follow on from the jewish passover celebration, would someone explain to me why the jehovah's witness community are holding their "lord's evening meal" on tuesday 4th april; when the jewish community are not holding their 2023 passover until the 5th april 2023?

doesn't this mean that the jehovahs have got their date wrong?.

They use a different formula to calculate Nisan 14, which may or may not coincide with the official calendar. To me, "Nisan" is not even a month--officially, we have January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December (in the English language). Nisan is not even among those. And those months we do have last 30 or 31 days each (except February, which is either 28 or 29), not all months having 28 days.

Next, I suppose they are going to try putting everything in the hebrew language. Using hebrew letters, to boot. Anyone else try putting appointments in hebrew, or using Nisan as a month? It doesn't work so well. And besides, are they claiming to be Christian? Then why are they pretending to be Israelites? (Ancient Israelites, to boot. Even if they are in Israel, they are not going to find the Nisan calendar in use, and they are not going to get far just speaking hebrew.)

Or better yet, don't listen to that smut at all. The real problem in this case is that anyone listening to Kingdumb maladies or anything else from the washtowel, or trying to use washtowel littera-trash as guidance, will ruin your soul.

How many still getting boosters?

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

either you think the governing body was correct giving direction to be fully vaccinated and do you will keep getting the boosters, or.... if you don’t think the boosters are safe and you decide not to keep getting them then you are admitting that the direction was wrong.. if the direction was indeed harming brothers and sister who kept going to get these injections because of the covid updates then this is a huge wake up call?.

how could this direction from the gb who are i doubt jehovah give such harmful direction?.

I will not put more money in Pfizer's pockets, and that includes using Advil brand of ibuprofen (instead, I will use generic if necessary) or any other Pfizer drug (again, I will insist on using generic alternatives if it comes to that). And that includes Lipitor--which is Pfizer's cholesterol drug.

As for me, the Amazon "shot" is the only one I intend to get. I would rather support the small companies making quercetin and selling it through Amazon than support that child-murdering giant Pfizer. True, mandates are likely to come through other means (work, property managers that want fully vaccinated and boosted tenants only, travel mandates, and so on). But I am not getting anything other than this quercetin at the request or requirement of the washtowel. They say "No shots, no mission"--I say "Good, does this mean I don't have to waste what's left of my life in a country where I do not belong, too?"

Watchtower cashing in on the Hamburg tragedy?

by Listener in

thank you very much atlantis for all your hard work and for emailing a letter written by the watchtower (coming from the german branch possibly) to be read out to congregations by elders.. there is so much wrong in this letter.

maybe some of it is due to being lost in translation but since the watchtower is predominantly english, it doesn't seem likely.

the letter is as follows -.

And this is another example of why violence does not work to ruin religions. They simply pray to that beady-eyed monster of a god of theirs for strength. And I am sure that abomination harvests the energy, both from the victims and those who pray for them.

Did this disrupt the religion? No. True, it disrupted a few boasting sessions. But they are simply going to hold them elsewhere, with no loss. This happens every time a "place of worship" is ruined, whether by a shooting, a fire, a natural disaster, or whatever. It simply pulls the congregation together (along with nearby congregations) to rally for those affected, which is the exact opposite of what you want if you are trying to ruin the religion.

This is no different in the scope of damaging the congregation than an incident I remember as a cat lick. When I was about 8, the church we went to had a major fire. Did that ruin attendance? No. Instead, they simply found an alternate venue to hold that abomination, and donations went up significantly. This is the opposite of what I would have liked, had I wished to ruin the cat lick church. It is no different with synagogues and mosques, or any other church.

The better approach would have been to expose the fallacies of the religion, or even the whole bible. No one is going to die if everyone realizes that jesus is nothing more than the archetype of the perfect slave. Rather, people would stop attending those boasting sessions (and church in general). In this scenario, donations would stop and people would simply abandon the church. That is how to ruin a church, and there is no risk to innocent lives as with a fire or shooting (nor is there a risk that donations would go up along with prayer, for joke-hova to harvest).

Statement of the day

during today's wt: "satan has the world on a treadmill wearing blinders"..

WTWizard

And joke-hova doesn't? That thing has its people going to endless boasting sessions, endless field circus, and the running around associated with it. What about the endless dry cleaning bills that result from always having to wear that suit? What about going to McDonalds for some fast, good-tasting poison every single day? And the supplies for field circus--not to mention preparing for those talks you will have to give.

And now, those endless coronavirus shots. You will have to get vaccinated against the wimpiest "disease" on the planet, soon to be made mandatory for everyone. Every 6 months. For the record, that is about how often you get your teeth cleaned at the dentist--think of this as another "dentist" trip. With far worse results--at least you don't expect serious health problems from going to the dentist.

Holidays? No, the jokehovians do not celebrate the holidays that are actually fun. Instead, they waste time preparing waste of paper distribution campaigns before their wastefest in March or April, before the Grand Boasting Session in summer, and the pious-sneer drives. They waste more money going to these events, especially if they have to travel out of town or are hounded into donating money to those a$$emblies, than what they would have had to spend worshiping the sun. Not to mention the weekly donations, money wasted on gas for field circus and on suit dry cleanings, money wasted on fast, good-tasting poison lunches every daya, money wasted on field circus supplies, and not being allowed to work jobs that make a decent income.

Stress of Going to a Summer Convention

by LostintheFog1999 in

spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.

however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.

as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.

And I wonder if those cancer shots will be mandatory for anyone wishing to waste their time and money going to these things. Someone is usually there to record it on YouTube, and if I wish to waste the time, I can find videos right there. And so far, no mandatory cancer shots to watch those YouTube videos. And no lost jobs, or intrusive attendants either.

Fully vaccinated

by llubrevlis2000 in

i have just heard about a rebellion starting for the kingdom ministry schools this year.

nobody is allowed to go unless you are fully vaccinated and the unvaccinated are not allowed to watch by video conferencing.. apparently there are many congratulations insisting on recently fully vaccinated meaning to those elders, you had your latest booster recently.

if it’s been more than six months you are no longer fully vaccinated.. i hear of lots of elders or mss who just do not want to keep taking these injections some haven’t had a booster in months and now they are not allowed to go to the upcoming kms.. that is not really what the letter said, it says all coordinators have to check that all elders are fully vaccinated.

I have some bad news for any hounder that wants me going back to that cancer (so I can go to Africa and waste what's left of my life doing missionary work). I got the Amazon "shot" in May 2020, when my first bottles of quercetin arrived. And that's all I am getting.

I do not want to defile my body with a needle vaccine after they made it a disfellowship offense to defile your body with cancer sticks (and I don't do those either). If anything, the needles are a good 20 times worse than smoking 2 packs of cancer sticks a day.

JWs and Prepping

by TD in

jw
friends

the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.

some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.

backup generators and a year's supply of food and water).

WTWizard

And what happens when a real problem hits? How long before the hounders start gathering everything people have bought and piling it into a communal pile. That way, those who did not prepare (perhaps because they were too busy pious-sneering and putting their trust in that beady-eyed monster thing to worry about the chance of a disaster or famine) will get all the items those who were smart enough to pick up these things.

And in practice, this means the majority of the congregation. There are a relatively few that prep, leaving the majority of the congregation to trust in that beady-eyed monster thing. Once the hounders go around and steal everything from those who prepped to place into a communal pile, it will become obvious just how tiny a percentage of people actually prepped.

Sundays watchtower dealt mostly about coping with the pandemic.

by nowwhat? in

now that it's all but over, looks like jehovah's fast moving chariot pulled in the station 2 years too late!😂.

WTWizard

You thought the coronavirus was bad? In fact, it is the wimpiest "disease" on the planet. In response to it, we get a vaccine that caused a super whopper of a pandemic--those things cause heart disease, strokes, cancer, and AIDS (no, not HIV--AIDS). As for what does this have to do with that celestial chariot, that thing is steering the whole congregation right into getting that dangerous vaccine that causes more health problems than that "disease" it was supposed to prevent.

And, to boot, that vaccine actually makes it possible to get sick from such a wimpy "disease". It is, in fact, at least 20 times as defiling to your body as smoking 2 packs of cancer sticks a day--which the washtowel banned for this very reason. Yet, they are looking at mandatory cancer shots.

Are you sure that chariot isn't being drink-driven?

Jehovah Will Help You Deal With Life’s Uncertainties

And after that 2 weeks is up, what then? Right back to having nothing. Is joke-hova going to keep "helping" people to just barely get by? What happens when that abomination decides to stop "helping" just to test their faith under even worse conditions?

Even assuming this story is not totally bogus (which it could well be), it is another stock story to get joke-hova more praise without actually helping anyone else. Just do it once (or allow some random piece of luck to help someone), take full credit for it, and use this highly irregular example to get dangled in front of everyone else. Don't help any of them, but use this to get people into such hardships in the first place.

And we have more poverty workings going on. They are glorifying being poor. Now, I view being poor as the result of being lazy or stupid--they are putting curses on people so they are going to be poor for simple bad luck. And they are putting themselves in harm's way, wasting resources to participate in this curse to the whole planet. How much money do they waste in field circus in a week? And by banning many good jobs that could have provided for their needs while producing something worthwhile in the community, they create poverty.

Then they have this example of how other "believers" helped. True or not, this is communism. You help everyone that happens to be a jokehovian, whether or not they actually deserve help, which is part of communism (everything you own actually belongs to joke-hova to be used as that abomination sees fit). Wouldn't it have been better if, instead of goading people into wasting time and resources pushing this communism, they were helped to produce the food and wealth they need?
