  What If The Tower Fell?

  by Big Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?

  perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?

  or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

  They've structured it so that they can bail on the WTBTS. You can kill the corporation, it would just reincarnate as something else, everyone would rally around the flag because of Satan's persecution, and it would come out the other end stronger... just not officially WTBTS.

  The only way to kill the beast is to starve it. That happens slowly.

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  Internal logical consistency is a huge issue with JWs. If logical consistency is important to you, it's hard to stay JW.

  So, are you implying that some ex's or former JWs are still working through their anger?

  I'm saying it's not a problem with the manners of exJWs if/when they have an issue with active JWs. The rest of my posts were just sarcastic fun.

  "Bit his hand off" == bro fan with some cash wanted to take a trip to Thailand as well, but didn't know where all the "best" spots are located. So he's bringing Lloyd along for a guide. And Lloyd benefits by "recharging his creative batteries".. i.e. double teaming the "definitely older than 20" girls.

  Who will be killed at Armageddon?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.

  but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?

  it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.

  Who knows maybe some are so bad Jehovah will resurrect them just so he can kill them off again.

  You know.. the Godly double-tap..

  The other day I was at the grocery store. And sure enough, the automated checkout, used for 20 items or less, was blocked by a lady with two carts full of food.

  On a hunch (because all exjws ... you know) I asked if she used to be a JW. Of course she was...

  Confirmed again.

  Your friend got suckered into a cult and then had his entire social circle reject him. The general response to something like that seem like angry and ornery...

  Regardless of the accountability he might have accepted for being in the cult, it's still pretty justified at being upset, especially at current JWs.

  I wonder if the more appropriate question is : who was the aggressor in the situation?
