The Nita and Jade LOVE STORY.....to be continued!!!
Sizzling hot chemistry!!! That story right there is going to begin an AVALANCHE of fan fiction!! They are also the first JW “actresses” who actually have some acting talent! They certainly weren’t as wooden as the usual cast. I think the casting director did a great job actually. Although he (definitely a he, too important a job) is probably going to live to rue the day he chose them, though!! 🤣🤣
They’re going to become waaaay more famous than Kevin Bunker IMHO. I’m just longing for our first JW convention celebrity to come over to the dark side.....with those two preferably in a hot lesbo-love story flourish!🤣

How do JWs view the Ransom?
by Vanderhoven7 inlooking for a simple explanation of the ransom from a jws perspective..

Simply put Jehovahs witnesses haven’t the slightest notion of a Jesus who took on our sins as he was dying on the cross. That he bore the punishment for every one of our sins.
They often don’t even know that mainstream Christians believe this. I certainly didn’t.
They simply believe it was a like for like exchange....the man Jesus’ perfect life for the man Adam’s perfect life, as if on a weighing scale.

Is the JW blood card a legal document without it being notorized
by goingthruthemotions injust as the subject says.

This would only be relevant if the patient was unconscious or otherwise unable to convey their wishes. At the end of the day, it’s really down to whether the casualty doctor is willing to risk your life In an emergency when he is not able to validate your beliefs verbally with you. No court in the world is going to fault him for that.
In the uk, having worked in NHS hospitals for many years, I don’t think many doctors would be willing to let someone die over a grubby JW.org “calling card” with no blood written on it. After all, you may have picked it up off of the pavement just minutes before the no.3 bus slammed in to you!

Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?
by minimus ini realize some here are diehard democrats.
whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?
i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

I too got involved as a teen in various protests. Being a good lefty white kid we would have been horrified at the idea of looting. Of course when things got out of hand (and they often do) the council house (“project“ to Americans) kids started looting TVs & ghetto blasters. Tut tut.
But destruction of property? Now that was right up our street. But it had to be a certain type of property.....fur coats. I’ll not incriminate myself online but I recall something about eggs and fur coats. I’m still rather proud of myself about that.
Magnum Bloody hell im glad I didn’t die slowly via one of your low speed lethal bullets!!

Two thoughts come to mind
1) As you look at the way “last days!” Is plastered over the page, in bold, over and again, it appears so obvious that it’s meant to catch the eye of the naive and credulous post war reader. I mean it really looks like a trashy piece of advertising, something that’s trying to sell a product....”NEW improved religion. FREE eternal life. HURRY! STOCKS WONT LAST....DAYS!!!!”
People are too worldly wise to fall for that ish now.
2) As an avid reader, I notice that even books by famous authors published by world renown publishing houses always, and I mean always, have a typo somewhere in the piece....I guess they have maybe one or two editors who go over it and naturally mistakes are missed.
But watchtower? I don’t think I’ve ever spotted a typo or grammatical mistake in an Awake or Watchtower, and that’s saying something because I’ve read A LOT of them! They must have a veritable army of JW robots going over each article to ensure nothing is missed. Creepy, really.

Watchtower Society organization functions as the only spokesman on earth for Jehovah...Wait! There may be others

I think they put that piece about being fallible to cover themselves because of all the child abuse issues and because so many know about 1975 and the UN scandal.
I think Jackson was sneakily referring to Jehovah using others for the “out working of his purpose”. That could include missionaries, elders giving talks, pioneers doing a Bible study, even worldly politicians if it moves “Armageddon” via the Great Tribulation nearer. At least that’s how he would justify that little speech to himself, as would PIMI witnesses, too.
