printed magazines

by pepperheart2 in

hi does any body know if the watchtower are printing any new awakes etc as these past 8 months or so i have had magazines from four different carts from four different towns 100s of miles apart and the most recent magazines that they all had were from 2021..

It's often been said that the WTBTS' Watchtower & Awake magazines are written at a kindergartener level. This explains why WT's writing department is on the brink of failure. Notice the following excerpt as to why many publishing companies go belly-up:

"What percentage of writers are successful?

Within the book publishing industry, it is agreed that the odds of an author getting their work published stands between 1% and 2%. Despite this low number, more than 95% of manuscripts received by publishers and agents are below the level the standard required."

Summary: WT's writing department writing skills have always been sub-standard!

The secret 10 year plan to save the watchtower .

Is there a current plan to save the Watchtower? Absolutely!

Is Watchtower salvageable, curable, repairable, recoverable? I would say very little of it can be saved from ruin...maybe a low percentage like 30% to 40% can be salvaged. Watchtower has a shelf by design & that shelf life started to slowly decline 10, 15 maybe 20 years ago. Today WT's breakdown/collapse is picking up speed. The recent years changes in doctrine & teachings including hour requirement & now facial hair allowance, as ridiculous as these changes are, are an indication of how desperate this organization is.

The WTBTS is viewed as a parasite by the world of mankind in general. It's a flunky, deadbeat organization. Let's face it...it's been relying on cartoon characters like Sophia & Caleb for the last ten years to rescue it from decline...that's how bad things are in Watchtower world!

RH III was possibly caught on open mic saying something to the effect at one of the numerous studios where WT had him on display:

"...naw, I really am not a true Jehovah’s Witness believer, though I do enjoy being in front of the camera...in fact I believe WT is as guilty as hell in their mishandling of CSA cases!"

Would sure like to know the source, or at least have more than one (two witnesses anyone?).

Doubting Thomas had umpteen witnesses & still he needed more...!

Apparently Robert Hendriks' III deletion as WT's PID spokesman was not on good terms. The following is said from some "reliable" sources:

"Robert Hendriks III was dishonorably removed, more so than Tony Morris. He has proven to be a man "hiding who he is". Good riddance is all I can say."

"Robert Hendriks III dismissal was a worse sin. Tony Morris was definitely dismissed for being "not open to any agreement"...with the alcohol issue being a side problem as part of the evidence against him. Robert Hendriks' III sin was far worse."

How would you define RELIGION, and why?

by Fernando in

"judge" rutherford defined or classified all religion as "a snare and a racket" in his books "religion" and "enemies".. after rutherford's death in 1942, his protege, watchtower vice president, and aclu darling, hayden c. covington, in the early 1950's, for reasons of legal expedience and supremacist aspirations, suddenly converted the watchtower into a religion.. this was done alongside one of the most audacious, spurious and longstanding swindles of the us legal system.

this involved twisting philippians 1:7 and misrepresenting the watchtower's true nature, objectives and activities.. .

this meant that it became necessary for the watchtower to suddenly reclassify and redefine religion (w51 1/15 p. 43 new legal booklet well named; w51 8/15 p. 511 questions from readers; yb75 p. 161 part 2 "for gladys bolton...").. two new watchtower classifications were suddenly created: "true religion" and "false religion".. now "true religion" meant "true beliefs" whilst "belief" in ever changing watchtower doctrine was equated with the one "faith" of scripture.. all this while the watchtower increasingly and maliciously truncated, obfuscated and hid the liberating full "good news" (or unabridged gospel) of scripture, which it lyingly claimed (in court) that it was actually "defending and legally establishing".. how would you have defined religion before learning ttatt?.

JW GoneBad

Religion defined:

Religion is a snare and a racket!

The Jehovah’s Witnesses Organization aka WTBTS being one of the most reprehensible & culpable of them all!

Speaking of changes...any chance that the GB will reverse its 'New Light' on beards? Some day soon saying something to the effect: "The matter of brothers being allowed to wear beards has served its purpose yada, yada, yada!"

There's been countless changes on Sodom and Gomorrah over the years as to whether the inhabitants would be resurrected. The 2023 AGM again made a change saying something to the effect: "We dunno...we can't be dogmatic on the matter of Sodom and Gomorrah"!

There's been countless changes over the years to the generation understanding of Matthew 24:34...last I checked somewhere between 6 to 8 adjustments...and a ton of changes over the years on a ton of other Bible topics!

Any thoughts on future GB modification on beards...inquiring minds want to know!
