I think it’s always been about the fear mongering.
It’s paralyzing and you waste a lot of years of your life until you have none left
third study article....as people moved out of jerusalem before the romans attacked on 70 ce...perhaps there are gonna be instructions for us today about us ...leaving possessions and houses...and moving to a different place.!!.
.
maybe that fits on 'receiving instructions that are not sound by a human pointof view' ??

doge got the crazy idea of auditing the gold in fort knox.
come to find out no one has been allowed to see if there is any gold at fort knox for the past 40 years.
not even the senators or congressman have been allowed to see the gold.
One theory is that the gold is still there but does not belong to the US treasury anymore. It now belongs to the private bankers.
In Canada we need not worry about auditing our gold. We have none.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
So he can f#@k hookers in Thailand ? Hard to believe there are suckers like that out there but they used to be jws.
the wts encouraged us to have one, i alway found it funny when people would desplay it where everyone could see it to show how busy they are in the lords work.. karter..
I remember the encouragement manipulation to have one but could never seem to get one going thus feeling bad about myself
h*t*a*a*o. staring elmer and daffy!.
now read between the lines.. -------------------------------------.
h*t*a*a*o. how to attack an outline video.
What he said near the end of the video was interesting.
He said speakers could choose what parts and scriptures to omit when giving a talk and that no one would monitor the talk at circuit and district assemblies.
Can anyone verify if this is true OR will the circuit overseer criticize you how you give your talk if it is not to his liking?
My experience giving talks in this organization was that of always being criticized for how I delivered the talk. In their mind something was always said wrong.
the watchtower—study edition | march 2025. keep walking by faith.
7 note how javier, a brother in south america, saw the need to walk by faith.
he says: “i had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction.” however, javier had the deep desire to pioneer.

Young, healthy pioneers are a potential workforce for elders who own businesses to draw from.
They can OWN you!
They can skirt labour code laws and you are less likely to quit as they have you entwined in the congregation and their business.
Thats why they want you to quit your good full time job and work part time cleaning.
They or one of their elder friends own the cleaning company
w93 6/1 p. 15 par.
6 be sound in mind - the end is close - "of course, well-meaning, faithful christians in the past have sincerely tried to predict when the end would come.".
more than 140 years of a sincere & well-meaning "it's coming soon" from the org, can be swept under the carpet - nothing to see here!.
Well meaning and sincerely don’t repair the lives ruined by Jws getting manipulated by the peer pressure and the hype.
People’s lives were ruined!
The governing body knew what was happening. They could have published an article saying to not get caught up in the 1975 hype and stopped it in its tracks.
My wife’s childhood friend parents sold their house and lived in an RV in Canada while they pioneered.
They did this until the early 1980s but could never get back the time they lost. The father “left the truth” and divorced his wife in the late 80’s
Another more tragic 1975 story.
A brother my family knew cashed in his life insurance in 1975 and spent the money on taking his wife and young family to Hawaii.
Shortly after they returned he wasn’t feeling well and died of cancer within a few months leaving his wife and children destitute. She remarried his cousin shortly after out of necessity but her new husband was very abusive to her and her children.
The watchtower has a lot to answer for
so i am having these discussions about children etc and there are witness ties and family history in these discussions.
i got the feeling having this discussion that they seemed to imply somehow it was ‘the parent’s fault’ for having a miscarriage.
whether it was domestic violence, or the mother did something wrong themselves.
Jehovah….the baby killer
I guess that’s why rubberface Lett hates babies
i vaguely knew that the pinata had some kind of pagan origin and i assumed that having a pinata at a jw party was frowned on by the b0rg.
however, despite its blatant pagan origins, apparently i was wrong.. the 22 september, 2003 awake states that the aztecs would smash a clay pot full of 'treasures' in honour of the god huitzilopochtli's birthday.
spanish missionaries simply switched the pot for the pinata during the christian conversion of the aztecs.
Anony mous
I never thought of it that way.
How was a poor person supposed to even know the day they were born other than the season.
They didn’t own a fucking calendar.
It hadn’t even been invented yet.
The whole don’t celebrate birthdays, Christmas and other holidays was invented strictly by da judge to separate jws from their families and have them associate with fellow jws
Its all about money and control
so trump has signed an executive order to withdraw from the united nations human rights council, a refugee organization, some others parts as well and calls for a review of american involvement in funding of the united nations.
he said the united nations has not been living to its potential and they need to get their act together or just dissolve the organization completely.
he said america will continue to be a part of the un but it's tiring that the united states is the country that funds most of the monies and that can't continue.
They’ll spin it somehow to suit their narrative
