July 25 WT Study ....Moving Out?

by mikeflood in

third study article....as people moved out of jerusalem before the romans attacked on 70 ce...perhaps there are gonna be instructions for us today about us ...leaving possessions and houses...and moving to a different place.!!.

.

maybe that fits on 'receiving instructions that are not sound by a human pointof view' ??

It’s another article about obeying those taking the lead because they are the ones that will ‘possibly’ be telling JWs what to do during the GT.

answers

10 It appears that Jehovah guided the Christians by means of those who were taking the lead in the congregation. Historian Eusebius later wrote: “The people of the congregation in Jerusalem, by divine providence, received a revelation given to approved men; they were commanded . . . to migrate from the city before the war and to settle in a certain city of Perea called Pella.” Pella seems to have been an ideal choice. It was not far from Jerusalem, making it relatively easy to reach. It was primarily a Gentile city and for the most part unaffected by the fanatical Jewish freedom fighters and their battles with the Romans.—See map.
11 The Christians who fled to the mountains applied Paul’s counsel to “be obedient to those who are taking the lead” in the congregation. (Read Hebrews 13:7, 17.) As a result, God’s people survived. History confirms that God did not abandon those “awaiting the city having real foundations”—God’s Kingdom.—Heb. 11:10.

They point out that it was them that provided spiritual food at the outbreak of Covid.

13… in the future, Jehovah will continue to help those taking the lead to determine the wise course to take. Besides trust in Jehovah and obedience to his commands,…

Watchtower July 2025

by St George of England in

i just saw the new wt is up and available.

the cover picture looks to me like the one that should have been used on the august 2024 wt but was pulled at the last minute and released with a different picture many weeks later.

someone on here uploaded a low res version of the picture last year.. of course we all know why the picture was pulled in the first place........ george.

The latest watchtower, just up is May 2025. The cover was seen before, months ago and believed to be originally proposed for the August 2024 Watchtower.

BUSTED! Watchtower Exposed kissing Satan's A$$ for money

It would be nice if you could remove your YouTube video that you made regarding the highly respected Mark O’Donnell.

Your false claims and accusation's are not helpful. One youtuber even believed what you were saying and posted his own YouTube supporting your claims. He was advised to do his own research, which he did and found your claims to be wrong. He has since made another video to apologise to Mark O’Donnell and his audience.

It is so important to research and get the facts.

Mark O'Donnell sued by Pennsylvanian congregations over "eavesdropping" virtual meeting between lawyers and elders

by Corney in

in a civil complaint filed under seal and unsealed nearly two months ago, 11 congregations accuse the activist of violating federal, pennsylvania and maryland wiretap statutes.

in the course of the ongoing statewide grand jury investigation, all jw congregations in pennsylvania were subpoenaed to produce records pertaining to child sexual abuse.

so, meetings were arranged, county by county, between lawyers and elders on how to deal with the subpoenas.

Listener

Thanks Corney, that answers a number of my questions - and more.

Listener

Surely it is up to the host to accept or deny attendees. For every attendee to then sue someone they didn’t want there seems odd. The fact that it is the Congregations that are suing doesn’t make sense. The video that he uploaded shows individuals, not congregations. If the Elders divulged sensitive information about their congregations then shouldn’t they be suing the host for allowing him there?

Has the Elder that invited him been named and sued as well?

Thank you Petra, it is excellent and much appreciated.

For their Elders meeting, they are told to bring the following-

your Bible, songbook, Shepherd book, Adjustments to Handling Serious Wrongdoing

in the Congregation (S-395), and August 2024 study edition of The Watchtower.

Is the S-395 available?

New Watchtower Study: Apostates and Red Balloons 🎈

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/gt0cuez3emy?si=wur7afqwryddqgnt.

the new watchtower study edition is out and i have a bone to pick with the watchtower with paragraph 14 from study article 14. there we read: "we want to help clear jehovah’s name of all reproach.

consider this scenario: you have a close friend who is kind, generous, and forgiving.

Listener

We want to help clear Jehovahs name of ALL reproach…Similarly, when Satan and those under his influence try to ruin Jehovah’s reputation by spreading lies about Him, we respond by telling the truth about Jehovah, vigorously defending His name. (Ps. 34:1; Isa. 43:10)
What a downright, lie. The general reaction is to avoid or remain silent in defending accusations. Jackson’s lawyers were told lies to help prevent him from having to attend the Australian Commission where he had been given the opportunity to defend the organisation.
When it comes to being sued, they choose to negotiate settlement instead of having their day in court and gag those abused. They will not defend themselves.
I just love the writing Department for writing comments like the one above. The contradictions are often to be seen.
Is the Watchtower condemning themself by the placards the opposers are holding in the above illustration.
The organisation is clearly identified by the ‘signs and symbols’ being held. 1. The Watchtower symbol2. The JW org. logo3. Representation of the opposite to the picture they have shown on their ‘no blood’ card for years
It’s strange that the JW signs are shown in green and missing the .org. but the message is still portrayed. It’s also deliberate. They just couldn’t bring themselves to show a slash through their name.

2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

by Listener in

a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

Listener

Good observation on the 'We just don't know' by G Jackson, he repeated it numerous times.

The crazy thing is that at one time, they professed to know those answers. The light has just gone completely black all of a sudden and he admits it.
