  First video from the convention is all about FEAR

  by raymond frantz in

  https://youtu.be/cdzydtuoblw?si=tyr8hgdgaiyn7c4h.

  this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.

  the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.

  Videos like this keep the jws on the eternal hamster wheel. No one makes any long term plans because the gt is right around the corner and the watchtower keeps them indoctrinated.

  Romans 10: 9 Simple Salvation - Not So Fast Says WT.

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "if you confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you will be saved".

  - romans 10: 9. i find it interesting that this simple requirement for salvation has been a specific target of wt since their beginning.. first, jw's call jehovah lord, not jesus.

  the fact that scripture calls jesus the king of kings and lord of lords doesn't seem to matter to them.

  If salvation came at no cost how would the watchtower corporation get free labour for their real estate flipping business?

  What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

  so, they did... with parental consent.

  he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

  I must drop the PPO and let her move back in the house as I was setting her up and would be responsible for it if she cheated on me while we were separated.
  

  RUN3500:

  No, you’re not responsible if your wife drops her panties to some other guy as the elders told you. They sure like trying to make people responsible for others actions.

  What was the strangest situation in your JW Kingdom Hall? Was it weirder than siblings having SEVEN kids together?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is chart-topper: "jehovah's witness whose parents were siblings opens up about their twisted relationship - which saw them having seven children together".

  vanessa, from ohio, appeared on an episode of the we're all insane podcast.

  the 46-year-old explained she is 'one of seven kids born to a brother and sister'.

  Disaster preparedness

  by ElderBerry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.

  also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.

  please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.

  Like Baalamsass said

  Make sure you have a full tank of gas and if possible a couple of jerry cans full as well that you can take to extend your journey.

  water and food for 2 weeks if you have to shelter in place

  $2000 in cash if you can’t get to your bank and the power is down

  as far as following the directions of the elders, many of them can’t organize their own lives properly so I wouldn’t take their advice.

  Follow your local government disaster leaders. They are actually trained in how to keep people safe

  Except for when a close relative dies the day before they reverse the policy for refusing blood. It would piss off a lot of people but the watchtower might not want those kind anyway

  This is a flip flop from “no need for elders to meet with disfellowshipped ones”

  Exactly how many years ago was that instruction made to the elders?

  I went today and for most it was business as usual.

  2 sisters wearing pants and probably 5 brothers not wearing ties.

  Out of 95 in attendance.
