  or what it's worth, YouTuber 'The Unwitness'(Joel I think)said a few months ago that he was disappointed with the delay but had been told the reason why and it was legit. Also that it will be well worth the delay from what he had heard and to be patient. He said he couldn't say anymore.

  😆😆😆😆 I don't know who this dude is but he sounds like I've every witness I've ever met!!!

  I am a proud member of the pirating class, although I don't call you a sucker, I think it was extremely estimable of you. Many people offered to help Deborah - even publishing professionals. Actually I was given the website of the p DF on here, which is why I thought that whole ' cease and desist' out cry on here a couple of years ago so hypocritical.

  Unfortunately, I think you guys are on to something, if the lady in question is an exJW the delay in publishing may be down to old fashioned superstition of the deity.

  So you know what I'm going to say now, don't you? 1 2 3...

  Publish and be damned!!!

  Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

  by steve2 in

  several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

  they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

  this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

  I think the Gov body is discouraging conversations in an effort to keep the RF from hearing all the negative they would hear otherwise. The indefensible can decay some people's trust in the Governing Blotto.

  That's what I've wondered for some time. Do they want witnesses to stay away form worldly types with tatt?

  Australian Royal Commission mentions that G. Jackson was inconsistent

  by Daniel1555 in

  1. watchtower

  it's great that the following is officially mentioned in the royal commission's report:.

  when asked if the governing body members saw themselves as ‘jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth’, mr geoffrey jackson answered that it ‘would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using’.

  mr jackson’s response seems to be inconsistent with the documentary evidence before the royal commission, which shows that jehovah’s witnesses believe that the governing body is the ‘channel’ by which jehovah’s ‘will’ is communicated to them..

  Does anyone else think the recent Watchtower article stating that the FDS is neither infallible nor inspired is connected with this? They certainly would have received a copy before publication and this may be a door-after-the-horse-has-bolted attempt at salvaging Jackson's good name, or an attempt at deflecting personal responsibility for policy.

  Hard to be completely respectful and the JW attitude

  2. experiences

  recently at work they conducted an mbti test for me.

  for those who don't know, the mbti test is a personality test used by organizational psychologists in companies and organizations.

  it is supposed to describe the best way you communicate, the best way of giving and receiving feedback, and for managers that test is supposed to explain to them the best way to manage their employees (i'm over simplifying, i know).. my profile came up as some kind of introvert (and when i was told that i said "what?

  Lou Bou to I fully understand what you mean. It's a constant source of pain to me that I have no where to do this for a loved one. I used to think it was just for the mourner, that they have a special place to remember loved one's. But I plan to ensure my children have somewhere specific to leave flowers for me, and I find comfort in knowing that in a funny kind of way.

  I don't find it pagan or foolish whatsoever. Like so many other things the WT denigrates, it's called being human.

  WTBTS' corrupt translation - to elevate elders!

  the wt march 2017, p.11, par.

  13 quotes ephesians 4:8 as saying, "the bible refers to them as 'gifts in men.

  however, the org's own kingdom interlinear translation (and every other bible translation) gives a truthful translation of the verse: .

  Boy do I detest the way they twist the scriptures to serve their own crooked ends. That one is a particular pet hate of mine, they love to puff themselves up and glorify themselves...because it is themselves, and those of their ilk, they refer to with their much vaunted gifts in men. I'd like to give them a gift...right in the backside.

  "When he ascended on high,
  

  he took many captives

  and gave gifts to his people.” One of many crooked translations.
