thursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.
2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.
Vandy Biblically speaking, if you are not anointed, you are not a Christian.
So, if in fact, only the the memorial partners are born again, there are only 18,000 odd Christians in the WTS.Well that's true, so rarther than the 18, 000 being mentally diseased, the rest of the 7,982,000 are just being bullied into not partaking.

why don't they just say the increase has taken place from the very year we changed the doctrine to allow people born after 1935 to be anointed.
All they have to do to stop it is close the door again LoL!!
so, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.
on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?
was it for more and/or better control?
oh Morpheus what can I say?
It's heartbreaking.
Thank goodness good brother Smith kindly left the beautiful park to the community.....for generations of family's to enjoy the only paradise they Will ever know, and didn't trust the wtbts to manage THAT.
I can't imagine a modern dub being so generous to 'worldly' spawn of satan , or having the independence of mind to donate to the local cong and people, instead of the wtbts.
a poster commenting on the houston sit and closed kh's made reference to '9/11' referring to the failure of the wt/bethel to offer first aid support to people fleeing from the crashes.. could someone enlighten me please..
If I remember there was a posting by an ex-Bethelite about this. It was something to do with going to help.
The Bethelites wanted to but we're initially forbidden. Later management changed their minds and allowed bethelites to go help with, please don't quote me, either being medics or searching the rubble? Honestly can't remember.
not a peep about all victims, not even a prayer for them.
only pray for jws.
and who or what is jehovah's loving arm of support?
we give any support to these people we will be helping Satans people
THIS SUMS UP THAT ROTTON EXCUSE FOR A RELIGION SMIDDY
ps sorry for caps Lol
we all know the moment that a nice family chat is moving to the propaganda game.. sister in law saying that jw.org is the highest ranked website, cousing saying that the new hq is energy neutral, aunt stating that jw have the best education.... what can we say on these moments?.
that br splane just likes these new light ideas?.
that a jw.org video stated that jw use the name jehovah because people recognize this name?.
Sister-in-law: "Yes".....
Alexa (an Amazon.com company)
Remember Jw's have ONE website - ALL other religions, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists have thousands a piece. And it's not unity, the reason you have one, its the high control that doesn't allow for any other. ... total control = culthttps://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity

do you think they're imitating evangelicals?is this happening in other places?
?.
Toes up...that guy and gal doing the twist @the Georgia convention.
We were told " the Twist" was an ancient FERTILITY dance!! It was way off limits for us! ( I'm sure that's in an old Watchtower)
we all know the rate of suicide is high among jw's.
my question is this- was there some subliminal messages that encourage this.
i was a born in and my entire life i would have these thoughts that could come out of nowhere,"kill yourself.
MOrpheus @diog- you say things have gotten worse since my day.... out of curiosity, when do you think "my day" was....?
Sorry Morph, just seen it.
I thought you posted a photo in flippers photo thread....I'd say the 1930s -40s?
😂😂😂 Good call I have no idea. Point taken!
i know we have all talked about this topic before, but for some new ones on the forum, or to refresh ourselves, i wanted to start this thread.. the society likes to go on about the sacredness of blood, and how it should not be transfused etc.. they liken it to a symbol of life itself.
something that should be respected and therefore not transfused.. but, what is more important: real life, or a symbol of life?.
an illustration came to mind.. if we give a bunch of flowers to a loved one as a symbol of our love for them, are those flowers more important than the love itself?
The novice bible theologians namely F Franz screwed this up which costed thousands of human lives,
I'm surprised, I thought it was Rutherford, did Franz advise him?
ironsnake 656 animist
The ancient Isrealites fetish with blood and "nephesh" or "spirit" has always reminded me of the animist tribesmen who thank the spirit of the animal they hunt and kill for giving it's "spirit" - or life - to preserve their (the hunters) life.
You can see the connection there, the ritual probably evolved from this idea.
