DECEMBER 2018 WATCHTOWER STUDY ARTICLE...Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances.

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

december 2018 study article :.

honor “what god has yoked together”.

17 admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” he might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger.

Watchtower doesn’t want an image problem. To them it is better to have a shitty relationship behind closed doors than cut your losses, get a divorce and move on with life.

For New Lurkers - The Great Tribulation Myth

by The Fall Guy in

the wtbts/"faithful slave" have been promising/warning bible students & jw's for over 100 years that the great tribulation of matthew 24 was imminent.

this fear-factor is also used annually to "motivate" inactive jw's into attending the memorial.. does the bible teach that the tribulations of matthew 24:21 & revelation 7:14 are one and the same?.

the great tribulation spoken of at revelation 7:14 cannot be the same one jesus spoke of at matthew 24:21 - for two reasons: .

The elephant in the room great tribulation. The one no one talks about. Acts 7:11

Donated Jewelry -- where is it sold?

by anon123 in

not really sure in what forum this topic belongs -- trying to find out where kh or other jw org sells the jewelry that is donated to it..

hoser

There are at least two jewelers in “the truth” that I know of in my part of the country. They are both high up elders because they are so ~~spiritual~~ wealthy.

The branch probably pawns it through them

Stuart imprisoned,tried and restricted.

by amicabl in

for the last month or so i have been watching all of stuart’s xjdub videos on youtube.. thanks to local congo’s of jws he has now been arrested and apparently mistreated and had actually quite weird restrictions placed on him to keep him away from carts, khs etc., by a court in vancouver.. he was out it would seem the next day carrying on his “ministry”.

and successfully too.. i know his activities could be considered a little extreme at times, but i have felt encouraged by him and i wondered if anyone has any information on the whole situation..

The guy goes a bit too far and it is counterproductive

How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers

by Sour Grapes in

i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

There is a church in my town that had a classic car show a few Sunday’s ago. Drive to church with your mustang or corvette and they had a barbecue going and a bouncy castle for the kids. I was seriously thinking of switching over to them. Even better they are only a couple blocks from my house instead of all the way across town like the Kingdom Hall.

elder bags.

by blownaway in

not sure if this was every where or just our area, but you could always tell who was big shit top dog in the hall elders by the size of their bag.

my dad used to call them elder bags.

.

I had a big one like that. I wasn’t an elder though. Pissed off the circuit overseer once because my bag was bigger than his.

Jesus tempted by Satan, real or just a vision.

by pleaseresearch in

not with their shunning policy.

me and my brother seldom communicate sadly, but no way would we go anywhere for fear of being seen with an inactive jw for over 10 years.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-simplified-march-2016/questions-from-readers/.
