  i was born in 1964, so, i was 10 when the buildup to 1975 was happening (and watched the subsequent failure of that).then, when i was a teenager, i got to see the fallour of the big apostacy events in the 1980s.during all of this, i was told by my parents and by people of my parents' peer group that "this old system won't last much longer, and won't the new system be great!

  "it is now 2024. i am going to be 60 years old in a few months.

  over half a century.my mom died two months after her 80th birthday last year, after suffering for years of chronic poor health (some of it brought on by a very sedentary lifestyle, but also plagued by emotional and mental issues and family drama which did not help overall.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from reddit.. a summary of changes: .

  we are all sinners, so we have to be reasonable how we punish sinners.

  if elders and congregation do not quickly help someone come to be reinstated they would be imitating satan the devil, not jehovah (yes that actually is what is said in the tagalog version in translation!

  Yes. They hate apostates.

  If it weren't for the laws of the land,,,I believe jws could take it personally,, take matters into their own hands & do atrocious & evil things to apostates.

  The Borg imposes itself between families with their demands like shunning & dfing.

  A simple infraction,, you could lose your friends and family.

  Some small things in life like these,,,many Jws dont have due to the Borgs,horrible, nefarious policies.

  Jojo;

  We always see the Borg bend,bend, bend & bend when there's even a hint of $$$$ problems or legal issues,,,,

  ...then a 6 or 7 year old is imposed on with high demands from parents & the Borg just for simply being unfortunate to have been born and raised in it.

  We speak from experience here!!

  I,,we can all relate!!

  From a legal point,, the August WT was delayed.

  What other way would there be?

  Legal issues & money,,,, its all about retaining its tax free status.

  You know,,,I cant ever remember a watchtower article being held back. Like this August issue.

  Then having subsequent(following) months released before the delayed issue is released.

  Thanks Blondie for your hard work.

  Where was the Holy Spirit & why we knew them before them & ahead of time?

  Perhaps,, because maybe it wasn't with the Borg,,ever.

  i have not read a wt for many years, but a comment on jwn prompted me to check out this one study article #19. i was stunned, they addressed many observations i have made in the "comments you will not hear" over the years.

  this segment will contain comments on the section called what we do not know paragraphs 1 through 10. i will post what we do know” in another original post covering paragraphs 11 through 17”.

  1) definition of "king of the south" and "king of the north.
