More JW left ideology examples

by neat blue dog in

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/.

Communism in the USSR ended up as a failure. Everyone was supposed to be equal but a caste system developed as it always does. The little people doing the grunt work got tired of supporting the elites and it all fell apart. If the JW paradise was to come true and everyone got to take the spoils of the dead who will maintain the material possessions. Who’s gonna fix the roof that leaks and till the ground.

I know jehovah is supposed to bless the ground but some of the jws I know are completely clueless when it comes to what it takes to survive. They are mentally lazy and don’t think past next weeks Christian life and ministry.

How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

by pistolpete in

i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.

by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.

all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

hoser

I think first generation jws are true believers. The ones like my parents that left behind the world and have 60 years of sunk costs in this religion. 2nd generation jws not so much believers and third gen it’s all they know.

What Will You Be Doing On New Year’s Eve?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i can’t remember the last time i stayed in on new year’s eve.

every year we went out and made this date a real party.

it was a celebration that included a night out, a stay in a hotel , eating, drinking and dancing to live music!.

hoser

Going to work as usual. It’s a Thursday. Catching up on paperwork at the office. As Jehovah’s witnesses we were raised to treat these days as any other day.

Thoughts on Zoom

by waton in

the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.

the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.

hoser

No one is forced to have a camera and microphone in their living room. They are guiltshamed but not forced. You can listen with microphone muted and camera off. Just sayin.

TO SELECTED BODIES OF ELDERS ASSIGNED TO THE COVID-19

by pixel in

december 25, 2020. to selected bodies of elders assigned to the covid-19.

re: adjustments to arrangements for meeting family food needs during the covid-19 pandemic.

dear brothers:.

hoser

What I find disturbing is the encouragement from the organization to ultimately be lazy and steal from productive people.

People that work less in order to take advantage of government programs not intended for them are taking money from people who contribute to society. That’s how it works. It’s not government money, it’s taxpayer money. Somebody busted their ass and got taxed for it and a lazy Jehovah’s Witness took that guys money, ultimately their labour. Totally unethical, and for a religion to promote this behaviour is unacceptable.

Government programs are meant for those with disabilities or some other valid reason that they are unable to have a job so by encouraging publishers to be takers from society, Watchtower is taking funds from the most vulnerable of society.

2020 Service Year Report of Jehovah’s Witnesses Worldwide

by Joker5 in

jw
friends

the 2020 report has been out for a few days.

2020 grand totals.

branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 87. .

hoser

Maybe the org is fudging the number of memorial partakers upwards. If all of the anointed were dead by now and no Armageddon they would have a serious problem on their hands. Increasing memorial partakers buys them the time that they need to formulate some new bullshit to keep the publishers making them money.

Covid19 deaths in the Jehovah's Witnesses

by yalbmert99 in

in a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.

strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..

hoser

Native North Americans are generally in poor health and would be high risk for covid.

Human imperfection, church policy or hypocrisy?? Watchtower vs BMG

by lssjr in

this new lawsuit continues to compound undeniable evidence that jehovah’s witnesses is keener in monopolizing "the truth" or making "kingdom assets" an exclusive right, so that they can interests of their "king, jesus christ".

it is clearly evident also the they are willing to fight for frivolous and materialistic rights they believe they are entitled to, but when it comes to child sexual abuse issues and their role, they certainly love to twist and hide behind law, to escape blame and responsibility.. below is the full text from https://avoidjw.org/en/news/watch-tower-bmg-music/.

the court documents are also available for download in the aforementioned link.. further commentary can also be found on watchtower sues bmg rights management over aled jones song.

hoser

Watchtower didn’t write the song. Some jw musician wrote the song and signed over the rights to the watchtower religion. If I was that guy I’d be pissed.

Watchtowers next big revenue stream!

by nowwhat? in

evidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.

kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.

well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

hoser

Free songwriters, free construction workers, and free lawyers and they still keep begging for money. Jehovah must really be a bad money manager.

Watchtower will probably come out ahead on this one, with having free lawyers and all. They sure can use the money right now to help pay off some child molestation claims.
