  The Borg is taking that TV evangelist route.

  Taking longer to pivot from publications, printed material,,,, to that of TV evangelist. October 2014. Enter JW broadcasting.

  Transitioning to real estate. Cutting the bethellites,, true victims.

  The remainder of the bethellites,,, please do plan an escape. Inflation is sky high.

  The Borg does NOT have your interests at heart.

  What if JWs voted in elections?

  all this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….

  let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.

  i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.

  Jw Broadcasting Sept 24 : Making up stories about Miriam

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://youtu.be/mvhvtxh3fn0?si=yw_pszgyh8xvmoy8.

  so the following video is part of the latest jw broadcasting for september 2024 the script for this video is taken from the publication "immitate their faith" which is like "my book of bible stories" but for adults but is full of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods and here we deal with an outright fabrication about miriam, the sister of moses:.

  under the subtitle "miriam the proud" we read: privileges and prominence bring blessings as well as dangers.

  JWlite can be the purple pill

  i really like the red pill analogy in the matrix.

  the one guy wishes he didn’t take the red pill and would have preferred to take the blue pill.. many used to be pimi which is the blue pill and then they wake up to the fact that the gb are not who they claim to be which is taking the red pill.. they go through conflict and confusion as to what to believe now?

  does god exist?

  apparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.

  sad because these people expected to be lifers.

  now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..

  Yes there were some disdainful & derogatory comments to JWs who died in the workforce on 9/11.

  ""Not being in service thats what happens to you"".

  Who in the hells donations & contributions were enabling you to live at bethel then???? Hmmm??

  The working class.

  The HLC do not pressure JWs

  by usualusername1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the hospital liaison committee (hlc) for jehovah’s witnesses does not pressure members to refuse blood transfusions.

  rather, their role is to support jehovah’s witnesses in adhering to their pre-existing religious beliefs, which include a strict prohibition against accepting blood transfusions based on their interpretation of biblical scriptures.. jehovah’s witnesses are well-informed about their stance on blood from an early age, and refusing blood is a deeply ingrained religious conviction, not something imposed during a medical crisis.

  the hlc’s purpose is to provide assistance in accessing bloodless treatment options, facilitating communication with healthcare providers, and helping ensure that the patient’s choices are respected.. while the hlc strongly supports adherence to the beliefs of jehovah’s witnesses, the ultimate decision remains with the individual.

  Jeffro;.

  That's right.

  If a witness kisses their asses enough & claims they were petrified,,scared & weak at the time..... then maybe the eldubs will let them off the hook for a while,,,,,removal of privileges.

  This is unbeknownst to the average Witnesses

  Yet,,, the elders know & force the no blood doctrine at the hospitals. The average witnesses are blindsided by this. Pure evil. Jason Zelda had a video on this the other day.

  Worst case scenario,,,,,you get kicked out,,,,kiss the elders asses,,,,, work your way back,,,,get reinstated in 6 - 12 months or whatever.....

  It is to my understanding that elders on the liason willl be at the JWs bedside to make sure the JW follows the WT direction.

  What a JW does NOT know,,,,,or doesn't know if they don't know about the the Sheppard the Flock of God book,, is that if they do accept a transfusion is worst case scenario they will only be reprimanded or talked to and lose their privileges for a period of time.

  The elders know this,,,but the poor average JW DOES NOT!!!

  The average JW could die,,,not knowing about this ""lose privileges"" loop hole. The elders know & they enforce this policy without the rank and file being totally oblivious to it,,,, thinking if they """,accept blood I will be kicked out"". Not so

  God bless the internet & all the leaks!!

  If congregations tried to do what happened in Menlo park in 2010,,,, a suburb in San Francisco,,, the Borg can simply now do a cash & grab and sell the kh's because they can. The Borg now has all rights to the assembly halls & khs.

  Should there be a resistance,,,,or a revolt with what happened in Menlo park USA those years ago.

  Phizzy;

  I hear this all the time:

  ""I thought I'd never grow old in this 'system' ".

  Rinse & repeat.
