  Verdict on the 2025 convention

  by gavindlt in

  2. experiences

  final thoughts after 15 hours of the 2025 assembly.

  after dedicating 15 hours to the 2025 assembly, i walked away with a heavy sense of spiritual emptiness.

  the only part that managed to stir anything within me was a single video on day one titled “what does jesus see in you?”—a piece with sentimental appeal, but still surface-level at best.. .

  how many of you here remember 1975?

  i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.

  those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.

  JULY 2025 STUDY WT How to Give Advice

  2. friends

  i scanned this article and i saw a theme throughout it.

  when info like this shows up in the study wt, you can be sure the elders are doing it wrong and the wts hits directly on what it is.

  older elders do it wrong and train by word and action the newer elders to do it wrong.

  Diligence and Enthusiasm - LDS vs JWs

  by Rivergang in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on a scale of 1 to 100, i would put the lds in the high 90s, and the witnesses at about minus 10.. these days (well, around here at least) one encounters the mormon missionaries all over the place.

  if they are not knocking at your door, they are approaching you out in the street.

  of late, this has been happening all the bloody time!.

  how can you avoid becoming their prey?....to his first-century disciples jesus sounded a warning that applies to us today with even greater force: “look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘i am he [anointed],’ and, ‘the due time has approached.’ do not go after them.” (luke 21:8) .

  How Do JWs Understand Salvation & What Is Needed to Obtain It?

  by LauraLynn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from my experience within the jw organization, i understood that salvation meant a person accepted the teachings of the wbts without question as the "faithful and discrete slave," thereby placing their trust in them, not jesus christ.

  salvation consisted of being found "righteous" by jehovah and resurrected to everlasting life in an earthly paradise.

  to obtain this salvation, one needed to obey the organization's teachings, remain a faithful jw, and lead a moral life.
