  How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  i personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.

  i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.

  perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

  I can't say anything more about Ray Franz' Crisis of Conscience. It was a 'clincher',,eye-opener.

  But to cap it off, it was Ray Franz' In Search of Christian Freedom. Now that was the icing on the cake. It's like cake, you have to have the icing on the cake to top it off. Many comment on Crisis of Conscience how influencial that was, but to me it was In Search of Christian Freedom that really cleared things up for me. Luckily, I was able to track a copy of ISOCF on Amazon for a reasonable price before the pandemic in 2019.

  Mr. Penton's books ''Apocalypse Delayed' and ''The Third Reich'',,, also extremely eye-opening and instrumental books,,, masterpieces.

  The JW's literature you then realize is ''extremely slanted' in portraying the JW's only as being ''so called loyal'' in their propaganda. Mr Penton relates how many JW's unfortunatly succummed to Nazi pressure,,and gave into pressure.. He relates how other Christian groups besides JW's faced unrelenting persecution and how JWs are no way unique in their claims that they are the 'only' group in facing persecution.

  I'm a Generation X, and I can clearly say that I clearly got into the 'internet age' around 2001-04 timeframe we finally got internet in our house at that time.... and my 'spiritual awakening' in the years to follow. It just unravels like nothing, awakening, enlightening.

  My awakening,,,,,wasn't all at once. I can't pinpoint to an exact time or place,,,,I just realized over time I wasn't alone and that I shouldn't feel bad for my 'enlightening, awakening'. That there were probably 1000's of people like me.

  To some people their 'awakening' is a traumatic, terrifying experience. For me, it was so 'gradual', which is probably why it why so painless and devastating.

  garbage in / garbage outthere is a saying about errors in computer science: garbage in / garbage outin computer science, garbage in, garbage out is the concept that flawed, or nonsense input data produces nonsense output.

  rubbish in, rubbish out is an alternate wording.

  Yeah, COC. Wow. 2 out of 3 votes to pass something.

  Mr Franz related how other GB members would keep their hands 'down',,,,but onlly to 'raise' their hands as these guys seen certain guys on the GB raise their hands,,,they would bend and raise their hands in submission in a way to more powerful GB members. This would sway the vote to the majority.

  Which these 'weazel" like guys would affect the lives of thousands JW's tremendously. Jaw-dropping.

  Ummm, maybe if some of their ''policies'' were to be done away with,,,perhaps they would see more positive results in developed countries with internet access. Their policies HAVE to change,,,the Borg will never do that.

  We only see the Borg sustained by it's own birthrate. If that. Millennials and GenZ's have access to their iphones and tablets all the time and they can see through B.S. 24/7,,, whenever they want.

  Meetings seem canned, unemotional & mechanical. There's more life and enthusiasm in a large storage shed.

  "How bad would the PR be if she was DF?'"

  They'll probably just sweep it under the rug. It will become extremelyyyyyy low profile. You know how the Borg is, how they mask, gloss over things and leave things out.

  Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.

  they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.

  they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

  The Borg cannot sustain it's growth now without it's own birthrate. There's too much information out there.

  The Milennials and Gen Z, forget it. All you have to do is type anything on the search line,,,,it al collapses.

  Everyone is resuming assemblies and conventions in 2023, even with or without masks. Dreadful.
