  Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?

  by Chevelle in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.

  raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.

  hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

  The Borg includes the text to Aid to Bible Understanding.

  I thought the Borg didn't make it possible to reference certain older material.

  what it’s like to leave the jehovah’s witnesses.

  in ‘i felt the end before it came: memoirs of a queer ex-jehovah’s witness,’ daniel allen cox reflects on losing his faith after spending his early years waiting for armageddon.

  HM.

  You kind of need a plan. Like I've said on other threads. Do everything the Borg tells you not to do. Like,,,establishing a social circle outside of the Borg. Just even a handful of 3 or 4 friends will suffice who are not JW's.

  Make sure you have some source of income to support yourself if you find you're still with your family. Move out get your own place. Make more friends with neighbours, their friends. Attend a church, join a fitness centre or volunteer. All kinds of down to earth great people in those places. Not all non-JW's will want to be your friend. You have to remember that there are narcissistic non-JW's out there as there are in the KH,s. But for the most part if you can chose nice wholesome people to hang-out with, you'll be just fine.

  In a nutshell, broaden out, make a bunch of friends on the outside, have your own source of dependable income and your own place.

  Because the Borg wants to take everything from you. Including your family, friends and even your employment in some cases. Leaving the Borg takes planning and patience. Just do everything opposite the Borg preaches.

  ""There has to be discipline that means something"

  If we call cutting-off your friends and family,,,sure sounds Christian and Christ like to me.

  No. The Borg enforces this practice. They're sure to destroy your reputation and take away your family, social structure and friends also.

  Brutal.

  The GB and the Witnesses promote and accept a name contrived by a Catholic monk.

  It's just beyond ironic. It's appalling

  "There has to be discipline that means something"".

  Hmm,, try explaining that to a family member who lost someone to suicide from a draconian shunning policy.

  Yea,, there is a reason the Borg took the videos down. To protect it's image.

  It could the WT is on its final death throws.

  GB;

  The hilarious, but accepted weasel sentence:

  ""Therefore, we can assume that correct name is 'Jehovah' because it says so in the Bible and it's the most widely accepted".

  And there it is folks,,,it says in the Bible, so slam dunk. It has to be true. And we can 'assume' it is. Put your doubts and questions to bed. ROFL

  These things are happening quicker and quicker all the time,, the Borg getting caught that is.

  It's happening,,things leaked out to youtube or on here even before the Borg has even updated the video list.

  Must be driving them nuts.

  We should all be very grateful for the PIMOs on the inside leaking things. A huge ''risk"

  Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.

  this had to come down from the top.

  maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

  july 15 simplified study watchtower par 8, p. 24 - “we need to obey the faithful and discreet slave to have jehovah’s approval.”.

  (john 14:6) jesus said to him: “i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me, or the wtbts inc.".

  You don't see certain scriptures because the Borg has a tapestry of scriptures they only want you to see,, or understand
