  New JW study book / method announced on JW Broadcast

  by Funky in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so did anyone catch the january jw broadcast?.

  it's the "spiritual content" of what would have been introduced in the october annual meeting, had the october annual meeting taken place.. morris, splane, and jackson introduce a new jw study publication: "live forever eternally - an interactive guide".. details were sparse, but apparently it is a 256 page book (when in actual printed form), primarily designed to be used in its electronic form, stuffed with links to videos.. it is designed to be "just one book" to be studied prior to baptism, where "all 60 questions that baptism candidates have to know" are found in just one place.. the purported reason is to make jw "bible" studies more "productive", i.e., lead to more baptisms.. splane brought out the governing body's "great concern" that 10 million+ "bible" studies are conducted by jws every year, but the number of baptisms has been stuck at 200,000 - 300,000 per year for decades.

  so the thinking is, this new book + a "new method of conducting studies" (again, no real detail, but apparently it involves more "discussion" and less "question and answer").. want to know my thoughts?

  lot of the partakers are PIMO. That is how I see it, and the WT hierarchy knows it.

  Oppostate i agree. I think a lot of Pimos if they are Christian, don’t believe in the two tier system and partake....good for them!

  The British government has ordered 100 million doses of the Oxford vaccine, enough to vaccinate 50 million people. Other countries will be watching closely: Australia has ordered over 50 million doses, Canada 20 million, and worldwide over 2.5 billion doses have been preordered. AstraZeneca expects to be able to supply large numbers of doses within the first quarter of 2021.

  In with my kids. This was the worst year of my life. I lost my brother.

  My upstairs neighbors lost their dad/husband in a bike accident last month.

  Bloody awful year.

  AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine will stop COVID-19 in its tracks this year. No Armageddon Watchtower! Mankind and science has come to our aid....no god. We make our own paradise.....it’s already here.

  More JW left ideology examples

  the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

  then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

  More school age children die of the common flu every year than will die of Covid-19. Do we shut down schools every winter and lockdown businesses??

  We're not closing schools to protect kids, they're fine, but to protect teachers, parents and the community.

  This is NOT just another flu....currently of the cohort in the UK that caught Covid19 at the same time as me 10% HAVE BEEN ADMITED TO HOPSPITAL and the NHS is almost at breaking point.

  am so glad that here in the U.K. Fighting the virus, as well as the need for less destructive economic practices are not seen as political issues or “left” policies .

  Amen to that Blues brother.

  Politicizing this awful "two faced" pandemic is evil (2 faced because it goes through the very young in a day, the over 40s like a demon)...im a healthy 50 year old and it nearly KILLED ME😡 So take this pandemic seriously and yes I commend watchtower in this case for doing the right thing.

  WE ARE DESTROYING this planet....theres too many of us. We're killing so many species it's horrific. Our grandkids will suffer terribly...but many of you guys won't be around to see it. So live in your delusion.

  If Witnesses are desperate they must rely on either:

  Satan's "evil" government

  Satan's "Babylonish" churches

  For help. Remember, no help will be forthcoming from Branch, circuit or congregation funds😒

  Once again the ‘non-worldly Watchtower’ acts with remarkable political nous and sneaks bad news in under cover of a pandemic! I mean we all knew they were headed toward the negative but I think exjw’s celebrating such figures, when the witnesses have been grounded, is a little silly as the figures couldn’t really be otherwise.

  DON'T FORGET you have a monumentally valuable archive here. Just click on your favorite names and the entire history of their topics and post is still available.

  I must fully agree with this ‘ere post. It really is staggering. In fact it drives me up the wall that exjwreddit claims to be “the biggest exjw resource on the internet”.

  Absolute B***ocks!!! If you want memes I guess it is, but compared to this site it’s chicken feed!
