say it ain’t so!
.
in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?
Its out there!!!!
Hard to believe. That's one core belief the Borg pounds into its victims(believers) heads to firm-up & solidify the ""us vs them" mentality..
On the other hand however,,, the Borg is notorious for flip flopping on core doctrines. Like the faithful slave,, organ transplants,, superior authorities,,,,maybe the first flip flop on the 144,000? Perhaps.....
You just never know!!!!!
is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.
when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .
Ahh the lockdown.
The internet.....just a mouse click away.
A plethora of videos,,websites like these,,,, forums,,,Jwfacts.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment on this thread!!!!
The GB is realizing they can only say ""run faster & jump higher"",,,,,, for so long.
People wear out.
... is just three weeks from this saturday.
the org has been tight-lipped, really, successfully secret about advance info on these in recent years,.
now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting fs time, judicial matters, etc.
""more direct to benefit Watchtower.".
Its always been that way.
""saying they just don't know"
Yes. They're actually saying that. Theyve admitted it.
""The governing body is neither inspired or infallible""

""Aren't we glad ,, grateful we have these new blessings & wondrous expansion taking place?""
Applause!!!
to me it is quite evident that the gt spoken about in matthew 24, mark 13 and luke 21 is a one time, non-repeatable localized event resulting in the destruction of jerusalem and the temple followed by the dispersion of surviving jews throughout the nations.. however, what is not so clear to most is that the gt of revelation deals with the same event.
my understanding is that the gb of jehovah witnesses has no clue as to how to interpret the apocalyptic messages found both in the synoptics and revelation.
but steve greg has armageddon down pat.
Blondie,,um,,,no. They cant.

Ask a witness?
How many more times is Christ coming? Since He's already been here once and the 2nd coming is yet to happen.
How many more times does He come back. Is it once? Or twice? Since He's been taught to come "invisibly" in 1914. But every eye will see Him according to Revelation.
How many more times does Christ come back? 2,,,or more times?
I tell you,,,,,I used to get stumped!! When in field service with someone who ""knew"" their Bible.
i can't find a answer to this- what type of transfusions are not accepted-.
prbc( packed red blood cells).
ffp- fresh frozen plasma.

Feel free to as anything here anytime.
BTW;
Welcome to the forum.
the truth is most active jws would probably agree that most of the teachings are not right, the new thing is that we just don’t know.. the governing body now say they get things wrong and make mistakes as they are not inspired and not infallible.
yet they are still to be trusted no matter what?.
they are not trusted.
More like ""listen obey & get dumbassed""
https://youtu.be/sptboe8_kuc?si=cnb837qqdlm1glx0.
this is a question that has preoccupied the minds of the governing body " when will the last anointed be taken up to heaven?
" when did this nonsense begin ?
If I were a betting man.
I would venture to say the GB will be taken away "invisibly" so to speak. If anything.
To the Canary Islands or something like that.
