STUDY ARTICLE When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | september 2021. study article 39. when a loved one leaves jehovah.

2 think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!

(jude 6) and imagine how hurt he was at seeing his beloved people, the israelites, rebel against him time and again.

"The WT is the greatest threat against the institution of family ever devised."

Soo true Sea Breeze!

I recently learned of a past JW acquaintance who got himself d'fed...couldn't take being separated and shunned by his 4 children after divorcing their mother. It's not that he didn't have visitation rights...the kids are soo indoctrinated that he had a tough time dealing with their shunning. So he called it quits & ended his life.

I've known my share of JWs who have put a rifle barrel in their mouth...put six-shooters to their heads...jumped out of a high building...put nooses around their necks...jumped from tall bridges...over-dosed! And in most if not all of these instances of suicide, WT's/JW's shunning policy played a huge role!

It bears repeating:

The WT is the greatest threat against the institution of family ever devised!

I also just watched this misbehaving WT documentary. Are TV documentaries like this one going to bring down WT? Certainly not...but this bad publicity ain't going to help it any either.

WT had a shitty reputation before today...plain & simple! This documentary made WT/JWs look even shittier...mission accomplished!

David Splane's apostate warning convention talk

by neat blue dog in

i know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.

splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.

for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

Wow, wokenfrom, when did this air?

Google shows this CSA case aired around November 2014...there's also an article about this case on October 2012.

The Light Actually IS Getting Brighter

by Magnum in

the light really is getting brighter, but what kind?

i can think of three types of figurative light in this context:.

1) that which jws refer to and they base on pr 4:18. light on a path... light that gets brighter.

Now WT song books are inspired of God! 🤣

"Before the internet, JWs could, in effect, operate in darkness... Then came the great bright light of the internet...The internet has seriously wounded JWdom. It has shone a great light on it that is getting brighter as more and more the failures, flaws, deceptions, weakness, etc. are seen in greater detail with the increasing light. Yes, in the last two decades or so, the light that shines on JWdom (primarily due to the internet) has become brighter and brighter.

If JWs were what they claim to be, they would love the exposure. They would love for something like the internet to come along and shine a great light on them so people can see what they really are, but they hate the exposure. Thus, there's no way they can be what they claim to be. They aren't lovers of light; they're lovers of darkness."

Good point Magnum...the WT's longtime 'New Light' song and dance routine is history!

Promise Not to Make Appeals for Money

by Sea Breeze in

"when he who says: ‘all the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the [watchtower] publication.” consistent with that, there is no begging for money in the literature of jehovah’s witnesses.. what is true of their literature is also true of their meetings.

there are no emotional appeals for funds in their congregations or at their conventions.

Can you think of any instances where the WT has made "appeals" for money?

Yes...a few years back I understand that in numerous circuits, forms like this one were given to all family heads as a plea for money:
