  JW Chrisians in name only-what do you think

  by enoughisenough in

  jw claim they are the true religion and they mention the love they have among themselves as proof.

  i have been watching a youtube creator who had some thoughts on the subject, bringing out jw were not really christian, based upon their actions.

  he made a pretty good case.

  The Org prioritizes unity over love.

  The don't even try to hide it all that much.

  The WT’s top three indicators of God’s favor…

  a) …ever-climbing membership growth…

  b) …dialed-up-to-eleven ministry, and…

  c) …constant success in the courts.

  A drop in one can be hand-waved away, even two….

  …but three?

  Maybe the secular authorities are letting it go to trial to specifically demonstrate how unhinged the policy actually is.

  Beth Sarim - “The Borg will appeal again. They will lose again.”

  And likely end up worse off than before, scratching their heads over why it’s happening.

  JW prepper fiction

  by Teddnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

  one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

  i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

  Plus, I don’t think the vast majority of local rank-and-filers fully grasp what a post-apocalyptic, indefinitely WT-run world would be.

  Hell, when I first did, I felt sick to my stomach, and I was still in at the time.

  nowwhat? - “…what makes them think nebachadnezzar's did?”

  The WTS needs to have prophecies that haven’t been fulfilled yet.

  Otherwise, what’s the point?

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  ExBethelitenowPIMA - “There is such a shortage of brothers midweek now they are having sisters take the group and say prayers…”

  Ten bucks says most of ‘em are better at it, too…

  …and the WT leadership will end up wanting to prune the meetings down to just Sundays to avoid it.

  Ron.W. - “…you could now have old fart brothers and sisters pulled into the back room and warned for murmuring about brothers who now have beards…”

  I’d seriously pay cash money to see that.
