G.B of JW`s trusting in Jehovah ? or Trusting in Men When It Comes To A Crunch !

by smiddy3 in

jehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .

they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?

true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.

I would imagine most Governments around the World are allowing essential services to continue and many people are doing these jobs.

Doesnt the GB say that their work is the most important and their house to house work is life saving, essential work? I wonder if the GB is doing anything to bring this to the attention of Governments?

by smiddy3 in

and i would like as many as possible to view it and comment on it as possible because i cant believe they are still pulling this shit and the rank & file are still lapping it up .?

in this year of 2020.. i`m sorry i do not have the nouse to make a link or attachment or whatever and hope someone can do so .. i know, i had doubts about looking at it also , its on jw.org ,whats new or something phillipines memorial and an experience was given their about a young pioneer girl that had eyesight problems and how she got her doctor and hundreds more to go on line to watch the special talk .

and they even went on to say they had 30,000 non jw`s log on to the special talk.?

It reminds me of when they began cart witnessing and started out in just a few cities to test it out.

The success reported was completely exaggerated and it became clear what a flop it was when they went full scale on it.

Differences between UK and US Corona Virus TV Updates

by ThomasCovenant in

i'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.

generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.

certainly no political point scoring.

Listener

Sadly I think you may be right Slimboyfat and it will mean a much longer period of self isolation than many other countries.

As an observer, for most US citizens, any elected President is worshipped like a God at that given time.

WT study April 5 - how uplifting! How happifying! How encouraging!

by sir82 in

for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.

paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.

paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

No-Sew Covid-19 Face-Mask using Shop Towel

by Simon in

jw
friends

now that the medical advice seem to be coming round to actually giving honest advice, it's good to have a mask.

weeks wasted and god knows how many infected that didn't need to be, but now there's no excuse for not wearing one ... other than you may not have any.. you can make them of course, if you have a sewing machine.

but even if you don't, you can make one using the blue shop-towel, a couple of elastic bands and a stapler.

Listener

So that's what's happening to all the toilet paper.

It seems that people are using anything they can think of as a filter without considering whether they are dangerous or not. A lot of the recommendations are for items that were never intended to be closely inhaled.

One suggestion is to use Hepa filters that can be found in things like Air conditioners. We have several unused ones for our room air filter but hubby told me to check whether they were safe to wear next to your face and breathing in the materials they are made from. Sure enough there are warnings (by Doctors) not to use them.

Apparently a better filter is one that is not very absorbent (the blue towels are) as in it repels water more.

I will be making some filters with a pocket to add some type of filter, probably a paper towel or a couple of tissues because I can't think of anything else. The material filter will be three layers thick and 100% cotton that is tightly woven is recommended.

They feel they must be receiving messages from the dead anointed because Rutherford was able to identify the Great Crowd in 1935. Not even the bible pointed to the fact that they would be identified then. Also, there is no indication in the bible as to when the anointed began to be resurrected but again, the GB believe it began around 1919, there only evidence being that they feel that new truths are being revealed to them, such as the 1935 teaching.
