  does anyone remember seeing old watchtowers in their kingdom hall library before they destroyed them all, of the watchtower annoucing jehovah from pleiades kingdom.

  One of the things about the current Norway business is that they seem to be taking a similar approach to a JC, thinking they can control the narrative, dictate how their own material is used, and act as though they’re entitled to victory, simply by virtue of being “God’s Chosen”.
  I’m just waiting to see them lose other court cases they initiated, and try to (somehow) spin it as “persecution”.

  2023 Yearly Report UNDER the Microscope

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

  branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

  number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

  Magnum - “…I'm just going by the general, overall pulse/feel/look/‘smell’/etc…”

  This.

  Numbers are irrelevant if the Org’s apparent “real-world” health is being constantly eroded away.

  NotFormer - “…the true crook in this case, Ted Jaracz, who weaponised the two witnesses rule in CSA cases, has escaped from the justice due him in the mortal realm.”

  I take some comfort in imagining that if there’s any true karma to the universe, he’s cellmates in Hell with Rutherford.

  As far as I’m concerned, membership numbers are irrelevant if the difficulties the Org is experiencing aren’t really membership-related.

  Essential Beliefs

  by LeeMerk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the watchtower really wants to move more mainstream they need to take a lesson from evangelicals in the united states.

  they seem to say there are "essential beliefs".

  a handful of core beliefs that are necessary to be considered true christians.

  Maybe bugger off to Argentina or the Caymans, and let the rank-and-file think they’d been “raptured” away…

  …I’d… actually be fine with that.

  I’ve been wondering for some time if the threat of disfellowshipping doesn’t carry the same weight it used to.
