  1,500 Days since Stephen Lett said this:

  "so the events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we’re living in the final part of the last days.

  undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days.

  shortly before the last day of the last days.

  What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

  so, they did... with parental consent.

  he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

  In order to make disfellowshipping more palatable & acceptable elders would & still do tell a disciplined JW that disfellowshiping and shunning are a loving arrangement. How sick is that!

  New lawsuit against the Watchtower in Ontario, Canada

  by yalbmert99 in

  2. child-abuse

  the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.

  it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.

  i don’t have more details.

  As joe134cd noted:

  The lds has the opposite problem. It will run out of members before it runs out of money.

  In the USA alone, the LDS have nearly 6.6 million members. Compare that to JWs who have a whopping (LOL ) 1.2 million USA members & dropping/falling! The only new converts are very young born-ins who can hardly be depended on for donations!

  amazing new light in the latest morning worship by gary breaux.

  the gb "never lie or deceive us.

  we can have absolute trust in the governing body".. he then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies.

  GB Helper Gary Breaux might not be aware of it, but he's talking about himself & the cult org he represents...he's cutting his own throat when he says the following @ timestamp 2:15 thru 3:20:
  
  "It's of note that liars will often shroud or cover the lie in truth...A brief math fact is...
  anything multiplied by zero ends up in zero...so no matter how many numbers are multiplied, if there's a zero that's multiplied in that equation it's going to end up in zero...the answer is always a zero...
  
  ...So look for the zero in any equation of statements that cancels out all the other truths..."
  
  Jehovah’s Witnesses/WTBTS have a long track record of shrouding or covering their lies in truth. Their exhaustive list of past, present & future clarifications, changes, new light and misinformation cancels out all truths printed in their literature!
  
  In summary: Watchtower is the zero...Watchtower is a giant zero!

  The video is entitled: "Protect Yourself From Misinformation"

  At timestamp 8:00 Gary B states something to the effect:

  "Our Governing Body never lie or deceive us...we can have absolute trust in our Governing Body..."

  In essence Gary B himself Is lying, implying that the G B never put out misinformation!

  Prediction: no more changes for a long while

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

  so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

  maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

  Finance is a topic that interests alot people. Whether you're a 5 year old JW selling Kool-aid, a JW teenager flipping burgers, a JW parent managing a young family, a JW small business owner or like WTBTS, a sizable corporation...how much money your left with (profit) after expenses is your main concern in order to support yourself.
  
  WTBTS boasts some 8.5 million (give or take) membership globally. It begs the question: How many of these 8.5 million are in a position & can be trusted to actually make regular, meaningful dollar donations to this corporation?

  Let's break it down:

  How many of JW membership are of the ages, say between 9 to 18 years old...not yet adults? Let's say roughly 25% or 2.1 million fall under this category. How many of JW membership live in poor and/or in 3rd world countries? It has to be a large number...say 40% or 3.4 million. So already in just these two segments of WT membership there are 5.5 million active JWs contributing next to nothing to keep this organization afloat.
  
  How many of the WT membership fall into the category of being inactive or PIMO & donate zero...zilch? How many active and exemplary JWs in affluent countries are there who wish they could donate more but just can't because they're financially strapped due to modern day high cost of living? These make up 12% or less than 1 million of JWs.
  
  In summary: My quess is of the 8.5 million JWs worldwide, roughly 25% or 2.1 JWs are actually making meaningful donations. Hardly a number to boast about & certainly not a number to sustain this organization given the high cost of operating expenses & excessive legal fees it's dealing with!

  What no-zombie said:

  Unfortunately, the window of opportunity is rapidly closing, as even now, most believers are already acting as PIMOs ... which I find rather funny.

  In my neck of the woods I also see a trend of many JW believers acting like PIMOs. I was at a couple of JW gatherings recently where the topic came up of all the recent changes. I was surprised at how freely & openly without reservations everyone was contributing to the discussion. Most were poking fun at all the GB changes as though they were silly.

  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  So, the joke is not on WT scholars and the Witnesses who have publicly proclaimed the validity of 1914 CE but is on...

  Sorry "scholar"...but the joke is on WT & the Jehovah’s Witnesses...always has been & always will be.

  Did you notice the quotation marks around your avatar, "scholar"? Me wonders how much you live up to that name! I'm JW GoneBad...& believe me I live up to that name.

  Be honest you're a WT Apologist...the name suits you!🤣

  No way are you a Scholar!
