1 Timothy 5:8. If you don't provide for your relatives, you're worse than a person without faith. That includes your relatives basic emotional needs, not just material needs. The Watchtower says you can only talk to them if they live in the same house, but if the leave your household, treat them worse then worldlings, treat them like they're a piece of dog-shit on the footpath if you walk by them.
Disgusting. A sure sign it's an utterly false religion hopelessly stuck in Pharasaical legalism and fanaticism, that hasn't even learned the most basic principles about love, mercy, forgiveness, kindness, laid down by Jesus.
Avoid like the plague any belief system that demands you sacrifice your loved ones. Family is the most precious thing. By their fruits you will recognise them.

FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG
by steve2 inwith the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

It's just the latest communication tool and technology. I don't see it as being the huge deal that some 'apostates' are making it out to be.
It used to be "oooh, they got colour Watchtower and Awake magazines now", then "oooh, they got videos now", then "oooh, they got DVD's now", and now it's "oooh, they got a new website called JW.BORG now."
Just the same old white-washed grave being painted over again with the latest trendy colour.

Its nothing but standard global corporate cost/benefit analysis and resultant strategic rationalisation/cost-cutting. Your pseudo-prophetic interpretation of it is just so much balderdash.

convinced 95% of all active jw's don't have a clue as to where 1914 originates
by goingthruthemotions inso talking with my wife last night...i was explaining to her about a conversation i had with a person at work about end times.
he has a strange belief that some scriptures in isaiah perdict something huge is going to happen in september of 2015. she then states that no one can predict the future only the father knows and he is in a cult.
lol on the inside.. i then stated "what about 1914 and the dubs perdiction and what it means today" she said no there was never any predictions.

I think there is no doubt whatsoever that some of the current GB have strong doubts about it, and would like to ditch the whole thing, hook line and sinker, ascribing it to the PRE-1919, pre faithful and discreet slave class appointment Egyptology mysticism of C T Russell.
Paster Russell was demoted at the 2012 AGM remember. This is not coincidence. It's a strategic demotion laying the ground-work for major doctrinal 'new light' in years to come.
The GB are not stupid. They are highly intelligent and shrewd men (albeit misled and intellectually dishonest). They are planning ahead strategically long-term on a number of fronts.

Malaysian flight crash in Ukraine VS Flight 93 in Pennsylvania
by EndofMysteries ini wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?
in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.
yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.

So terribly sad, such a tragic waste of precious human lives, babies, children, families. What a semi-barbaric world we still live in. And some just seem to want to turn this into an intellectual/mystery novel exercise.

When the tree was cut down in supposedly 607 BC it was a huge, majestic, heaven-high tree.
In 1914 it was just an unbanded stump.
How the feck can a stump in the ground represent the newly enthroned King Jesus and his glorious kingdom?

Speculation Fall AGM
by Poztate ina lot of comments have been made about possible big changes at the agm in the fall.. comments range from changes to the blood doctrine or who compose the one hundred and forty four thousand.. my speculation is.... (and if someone else had this kind of thread i am not stealing from you..just never read it).
the door to door as we know it will cease to exist.
the publishing of a monthly public wt and awake will end.. instead each month a tract with different subjects and a redirect to jw.org will come out.

Exodus 24:10 - The Israelites saw Jehovah? Has this scripture ever been explained?
by truthseeker inhas anyone really pondered what this means?
jehovah said that no man can see god and live, and here at least 70 people saw jehovah standing on a bright blue pavement.
24 then the lord said to moses, come up to the lord , you and aaron, nadab and abihu, and seventy of the elders of israel.

Mere ancient priestcraft invented to frighten ignorant, ancient people into fearful blind submission. How else could the priests and scribes guarantee their positions and ensure the daily animal sacrifices and their free food supply?
