  I have just watched this, very good programme. I doubt it will awaken many JW's but may well do good to outsiders.

  It also explains why the Charity Commission registration for each congregation is being dropped.

  Once this new arrangement has been implemented removing all the congregations as registered charities the CC will have no jurisdiction whatever. I wonder if this is one of the reasons for the move. The WT Society of Britain will claim all the tax refunds etc.

  Sad to say this programme with Victoria Derbyshire is being axed as part of the BBC cost cutting exercise. More likely a case she has asked a few too many pointed questions over the years.

  Here in the UK we have our meeting on Saturday 23 May 2020. We have these every couple of years or so with a US visitor. All connected to Chelmsford or London or wherever.

  The rep this year is William Turner, whoever that is.

  FOLLOW THE MONEY !!

  this from j.w survey :.

  https://jwsurvey.org/we knew they did this to a degree, but this is a blatant way of siphoning money to where the leaders want it, with no control, no transparency, and no way for anyone to be able to see where it has gone.

  jehovah’s witness uk headquarters dissolves kingdom hall charities, seizes full control of property and finances.

  I understand that most congregations signed over their KH to the KHT back in about 2014. That is how they are able to sell off KH's and combine congregations already. This is about getting the last bit of cash and removing any prying eyes in the Charity Commission.

  What will happen in Scotland where congregations are not registered with the Charity Commission?

  Pure language

  by Highpriest in

  2. humour

  i have heard from a reliable source that the witchpower libel and crap society with it's governing body stands unified by a 5 year plan to introduce what they call "pure language".the rank and file have accepted saying there is room for improvement in our language:in the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".

  sertainly obedient servants of god's people will reseive this news with joy.

  also the hard "c" will be replaced with "k".

  Many a true word spoken in jest.

  Back in the 1940's Freddie Franz wanted to introduce a "Theocratic Calendar" that did not use the names of Greek Gods etc.

  Here in England we already see enough so called "English" from the US. They cannot even supply a Bible in UK English, though they can manage Welsh literature for the half dozen Welsh language fanatics that reckon they cannot speak English.

  Many English scientific journals now use the US Sulfur instead of Sulphur, my GP prescribes Ferrous Sulfate these days. When I mentioned it to him he said "I just click the drop down George, no idea how it should be spelled!"

  Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.

  ”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.

  they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

  JW's should outlive their "worldly" counterparts. After all, they don't smoke, take drugs, drink excessively, over eat, take part in dangerous sports......

  147th Gilead prt. 3 - this could stumble people

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during gerrit loesch's talk just released, he goes on a long list of the false end times predictions throughout the millennia.

  i didn't expect it, but then he goes into the precursors to the bible students who, when their dates failed, changed christ's presence to have happened 'invisibly'.

  then it goes right into the jws, and he reads the quote from millions now living will never die about how we can 'confidently expect' the resurrection in 1925, and then the life everlasting book that predicted 1975. of course, he doesn't say how it's still going on, namely with the overlapping generation and its' accompanying convoluted chart, but still, this is more than they've ever said on the subject, especially recently.. it almost sounds like a forced statement, to address any backlash from people reading 'apostate lies' online, because he also says how the gb 'humbly' admitted mistakes, referencing the non-apology after 1975 that disturbed raymond franz.

  Apparently it could imply uncleanness to wear beard

  
  

  A beard is just hair. I don't have any hair on my face but I have plenty on my head, my chest, my arms, legs, under arms, around my.....

  Well you get idea.
