Trying to get my head around these go bags
by phoenixrising inwhen i was looking at prepping back in the 90s i was told by several elders that we needed to just rely on the org and jehovah and not prep.
i started to put away vacuum sealed bags of rice beans and spices anyway.
now they have this go bag crap.

LV101, funny you say that. They will need their TO-GO-BAGS because if the governing body is not shelling out anything to help during this pandemic, what makes anyone believe they will shell out anything during the great trib!

In growing up "in the truth" my mom said that the only information I would ever need for school and life is from the Watchtower publications and the meetings. 45 years later, she still thinks this way. As a PIMO, she goes radio silent when I tell her that I heard that first from 'the World" and "Society" is just reacting. You better believe that "the friends" ONLY move and react when they are TOLD, even if they first hear the same thing on the news a week or months ago. Amazing how we all know this and it will probably never go away.

My latest letter to WT demanding correction from their side
by Kosonen inbrothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.
but my efforts have remained fruitless.
you well know the biblical procedure.

Kosonen, you are to be commended for your efforts and your activism. As others have mentioned and you should send this information to WT over and over and over again if it makes you sleep at night. With that said, as a reminder- a Youtube channel and publishing a book on Amazon is the way to get this information out there to the masses, let the masses be your voice, and as your message spreads, WT will hear you and depending on how loud your voice becomes, come after you like they are trying to do to others as worst case scenario. I can hear you now saying to yourself with a fist pump- YES!

Proof - God is not speaking through the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
by stumbledbyothers inwith this thread - i’m currently in pimo –mode - 10 years -in for 40 years- wife a pioneer (maybe this could be a source for someone as a book idea, handout if there isn’t one already).
i am hoping to develop coming up with at least 101 reasoning points using only wt publications, bible facts (hebrew/greek text as well) and quotable things from jw broadcast we can prove that god is not with jehovah’s witnesses and its governing body.
(101 seem to be common number when used for a book format) i’m sure there are websites out there that list many of the flip-flops; however we can use this thread for this specific topic.

Of course we know this!

Using the Russian ban news with all those letters and prayers would get you no where, since that would end up on the Satan list. News items don't work with JW's.
Anything outside the publications we know will not work for the average witness- even if it is something in the news and or claimed new light it is still tangible evidence since it is in a publication that still could get a witness thinking about it.
Thanks for any help.
I will start (no particular final order):
- Gods name. JW broadcast June 2015 Governing Body member Geoffrey Jackson admits to not knowing the correct pronunciation of God’s name. Use Jehovah because it’s widely recognized in English. Think about that-recognized by the world? If the GB is representing god- wouldn’t god reveal how to say his name? How can you represent someone with out knowing how to say their name correctly?
-1916 = Worldly Governments or Authorities (Studies in the Scriptures Series I - The Divine Plan of the Ages(1916 edition) page 266)
-1929 = Jehovah God and Jesus Christ (Watchtower June 1 and June 15, 1929)
-1962 = Worldly Governments or Authorities (Babylon the Great Has Fallen! God's Kingdom Rules! (1962)page 548).

Today, the weekly meeting https://www.jw.org/en/publications/jw-meeting-workbook/may-2019-mwb/meeting-schedule-may13-19/our-relief-ministry/
FYI---had a part about the Relief Ministry to show what "Jehovah" is accomplishing through his organization to help the brothers and sisters abroad to the praise of "Jehovah's" name. Even the Governing Body representation is there for spiritual support.
After this encouraging part, the elders put to the congregation a resolution to send a one time $10,000 to the Branch for relief work. (A few months ago there was $11,000 or so in the bank.)
Another resolution to ante-up the regular monthly (tithe) from $700 to $900.
This we were told is our way of showing our appreciation for what "Jehovah" is doing to take care of his people!
Cannot imagine how much money is pouring into WT monthly. Don't forget to watch the video to see how much money WT needs to help with the Relief Ministry.
Enjoy.

2019 Convention - Televangelist music
by John_Carter_1912 inany thoughts?.
didn't jehovah's witnesses use to despise this type of evangelical music?.

FYI-
This past week or so Circuit Assembly in Cleveland area, the CO scolded the audience for not sitting down once the music start playing. Before his part, he asked the audience for "program silence" ! Everyone was quiet or half a minute- he then said - this is what the Governing Body wants - us to be in our seats with program silence when the music plays- since the opening music is part of the program.
I'm sure with this upcoming Regional Conventions more of this "slapping of the wrist" by the Governing Body will take place to get the "friends" in their seats for the music accompaniment of evangelical music.

No mention of Jesus as head, I guess he is to busy to be involved in the publications. Amazing how WT puts the Creator of the Universe on the level of humans.
I’m sure you see other issues with things in this paragraph.

Seek Meekness and Please Jehovah
18 We will make better decisions. When we face difficult choices in life, Jehovah will help us make good decisions—but only if we are meek. He promises that he will hear “the request of the meek.” (Ps. 10:17) And he will do more than hear our request. The Bible promises: “He will guide the meek in what is right, and he will teach the meek ones his way.” (Ps. 25:9) Jehovah provides that guidance in the Bible and in publications * and through programs produced by “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45-47) We must do our part by humbly acknowledging that we need help, by studying the material Jehovah supplies, and by submissively applying what we learn.
