The FDS Photoshop

by Vanderhoven7 in

for those interested in the latest version of the faithful slave.

.

from the february 2024 watchtower .

All we know is that Tony was replaced by two more stooges who will continue to act in their own best interests and talk through their hats like all the others to perpetuate the myth of the Faithful Slave..

And all overcomers will reign with him.

Revelation 2:26 KJV — And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

They overcome by the blood of the Lamb (gospel of Christ) and the word of their testimony (word of God) Revelation 12:11

Did Geoffrey Jackson lie under oath at the ARC?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i understand he intimated that the faithful slave was not the only spokesman for jehovah god.

he also intimated that corporal punishment was not advocated by the wts.

we're these lies or deception or did they represent the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?.

Right on Dreary!

Yes.

The transcript is available on the Australian Royal Commission website here:

Take a look at page 28. See what took place from line 8:

If you watch the video, you’ll notice that he appears nervous when he says “no” in line 26.

Why?

Because, as every Jehovah’s Witness knows, he’s lying.

"It shows real love on the part of a parent to do whatever he can to correct his child, including spanking him." - Watchtower 1973 Sep 15 pp.556-557
"A spanking may be a lifesaver to a child, for God’s Word says: “Do not hold back discipline from the mere boy. In case you beat him with the rod, he will not die. With the rod you yourself should beat him, that you may deliver his very soul from Sheol [the grave] itself.” Again, “Foolishness is tied up with the heart of a boy; the rod of discipline is what will remove it far from him.” If parents hold their children’s life interests dear to them, they will not weakly or carelessly let disciplinary action slip from their hands. Love will motivate them to take action, wisely and fairly, when it is needed." - Making Your Family Life Happy (1978) p.132
“The Bible is clear that discipline includes good teaching and example, but does it exclude spanking? No, for Proverbs 23:13 says: “Do not hold back discipline from the mere boy. In case you beat him with the rod [or hand], he will not die.”” Watchtower 1979 May 1 p.30
"Permissiveness breeds both juvenile insecurity and delinquency. … But both “rod and reproof” are needed." - Watchtower 1986 Nov 1 pp.22-23

Hell, every person raised as a Jehovah’s Witness will remember being taken in the “the back room” where you’d be smacked by your parents if you spoke during the meeting or they thought you weren't paying attention.

I wonder why a governing body member would tell the members one thing, but tell non-members the opposite?

You know, like a cult?

Why is the world still messed up?

Because Jesus Christ's parousia is still future. Until then, Jesus is only ruling in the hearts of those who have repented and believed His gospel. Nothing to do with 1874, 1914, 1919, men in New York or religion.

PIMI wife told to go against her husband and take the vaccines?

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

if a pimi sister has been told by her unbelieving husband not to take these experimental vaccines then what is official jw policy in this situation?.

should she go against her husband and tell him i will do what the men at my church tell me?.

what on earth will the husband think then?

Vanderhoven7

Seems to me the guy was looking for an out. Perhaps the grass was greener elsewhere and he was fed up with her JW nonsense.

Irish Dub writes:

The original C.T. Russell gospel never had a ministry to “other sheep” but to first fruits of the nations.

The major change to this “first fruits” gospel aka Born of the Spirit, was changed when Judge Rutherford's hostile take over of the Watchtower in court and a major split occurred.

The Dawn Bible Students were THE ORIGINAL group and has continued to this day to gather the first fruits anointed from the nations as shown in their Dawn Bible publications.

Their is a publication booklet on Dawn Bible Students about the split with Pastor Russell.

i know, how do i find this stuff, right?

the article is long, so just do a ctrl-f then type in your name... also jehovahs-witness.com mentioned in this article.

"theocratic warfare" is a contentious theological doctrine of the jehovah's witness (jw) movement in christianity.. .

Grant Davies gives some guidance when choosing a religion.

"Like any religion, Watchtower may produce fine subjective reasons why they are the only true religion. Like any religion that’s where their credentials end.

If you really must have a religion in your life then choose one without caveats and high control.

Choose one which doesn’t tell you what you should wear at meetings.

Choose one which doesn’t repeatedly ask if you’re doing enough.

Choose one which doesn’t keep changing its mind when it fails.

Choose one which doesn’t tell you what your facial hair should appear like

Choose one which doesn’t wish to prevent your children going to higher education

Choose one which doesn’t tell you as a married couple, what is an acceptable bedroom practice and what isn’t.

Choose one which allows you to watch Harry Potter and the Smurfs if you wish.

Choose one that allows you to openly discuss with other members things which may not appear to correct teachings.

Choose one which isn’t swamped with accusations of multiple child sex abuse cover ups.

Choose one which doesn’t try to tell you who you can and cannot mix with socially.

Choose one which doesn’t tell you which of your family members you can and cannot talk to.

Choose one which doesn’t weigh you down with a permanent feeling of existential dread.

Choose carefully.
