Know it’s not true but stay anyway
by Elena inhow many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.
my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

Do JWs Get Excited About WT Publications Any More?
by NotFormer inmemory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.
when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.
he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Gorb;
The Borg religion is at a standstill.
Its because of the internet age. They never saw it coming. The internet.
Its like a beached Wale. Or a fish out of water. That is the Borg.
Clearly NOT the same religion as we saw up until around 2000. This has only become more manifest in the last 8 to 10 years. Magnifying.

On May 3, 2024, the worldwide United Methodist Church apologized to survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
by was a new boy in'many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered.
but at the may 3, 2024, meeting of the general conference of the worldwide united methodist church in charlotte, north carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.. .
“the united methodist church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct.

Bottoms up.
The Borg is about to have its bottom spanked blue by the European governments.
From their abusive, misogynistic policies.
A threat to the Borganizations bottom line,, they spring into action.

Still Confused About The FDS
by NotFormer inthis was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4911685446402048/fun-moment.
if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.

The FDS doctrine.
All in all,,it will never have a solid backing.

They repeatedly pray for the governing body in their prayers,,,,who they will likely never, ever meet who are thousands of miles away in New York.
Who likely will never give a shit back about them.
And the ones praying for the governing bodys shun their lifeblood,,blood ties who live just a few blocks away in many cases. Just for believing different.
ROFL

Romans 10: 9 Simple Salvation - Not So Fast Says WT.
by Sea Breeze in"if you confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
- romans 10: 9. i find it interesting that this simple requirement for salvation has been a specific target of wt since their beginning.. first, jw's call jehovah lord, not jesus.
the fact that scripture calls jesus the king of kings and lord of lords doesn't seem to matter to them.

No one reacts with skepticism because,, they're under "mind control"
Believing that Gods channel is delivering "new light". Which claims to be "God's mouthpiece" but also says they're infallible & may not get things right. And no apology is necessary.
Thats what cognitive dissonance does . Thats why no one is skeptical.

The printing era is dead..
The Borganization is clearly shifting to an online, video religion..
There isn't much more to get enthused about..
Other than upcoming broadcasting,, visits or a$$emblies.
The super PIMIs are probably getting "jaded" too.
