What Rutherford instituted in his tenure works for the Borg.
Celebrating any holiday takes away focus from the Borg.
It works to this day.
Same applies for birthdays,,mothers & fathers days.
Just think of the focus the Borg would lose by shifting focus away from ""them" to allll those birthdays. Also mothers & fathers days. Not to mention statutory holidays.
It works for the Borg. Why would they want to change it now? It takes focus away from them.
And,,,$$$$$,, money too.

Celebrating Xmas.
= nothing short of apostasy.
= subsequent disfellowshipping
& the ramifications that come with it.
not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
Its like these sales you hear sometimes
""Last sale" or "final offer" something like that.
Only to see the same ""offer"" months down the road.
People go for it..
Like the Borg,,,, a sucker is born every minute.
i'm unclear on how this has been achieved or if permissions have been given.
presumably, audible (part of amazon) have their own procedures to ensure legality, but here it is nonetheless;.
listen to crisis of conscience - raymond franz by crisis of conscience - raymond franz on audible.
Crisis od Conscience.
Reading it once. Thats all it took to drive all my doubts home.
Every doubt and question I had about the Borg,,,were driven home. With one swing of the bat!!
the watchtower conflates two different groups into one fictional church-age group that according to the watchtower, are saved by works and faith/membership in the jehovah witness organization.
according to watchtower, only the now mostly dead 144k receive the promises of god regarding justification .
everbody else missed the boat and must work for their justification for a thousand years.
The Borg takes part of the Revelation scriptures as literal,,,then a few sentences later its symbolic.
Confusing? No??

Yes.
Its a scientific fact.
The sun will most definitely expand into a red giant superstar. Engulfing all the inner planets possibly as far as Mars.
It happens to all stars. Its part of the cycle

When you hear "only Jehovah knows".
In other words it means " we have no idea,,we don't know or haven't got a clue. We're just making it up as we go"".

Teach prophets make profits,,from false prophets.
have some time thinking about my recent and less recent personal history because of the summer holiday.. the 90's crossed my mind.
the years i became pimo.
a friend, a room mate during the 1993 moscow international convention, went to university.
I think,,,,,.
,,,,, people just stay in the Borg because of family,, friends or of course,,, the sunk cost fallacy.
Even if they no longer believe ""it"".

"Why don't you just wait until the new system?".
Ahhh. Now there it is. That bait & switch,, carrot on a stick that is and always will be a little of reach.
You watch your life pass you by.
All religions have some concept of the afterlife.
The "new system" is the Borgs.
You can do all these things now,,in the life you have & know right now. Because this life you live right now,,, is the only conscious life you're guaranteed to have is right now.
Instead of some pioe dream,,pie in the sky life which will never come to fruition.
