“Did you consider Paul a false prophet?”
Meh, no more than any other.
Bit more of a dick, though. 😏

my wife of many years is more-or-less pomo, but she still (nominally) believes in jehovah and the bible.. she raised her eyebrows when she realized the full scope of the csa problem… rolled her eyes when letto the clown called babies “little enemies of god”… but today, we apparently crossed a real threshold….
…her response to the governing body being referred to as “our future kings” was….
…“what????!!!!!”.

it is proposed to the seimas not to grant state recognition to the religious community of jehovah's witnesses.
lithuania05/05/2024 09:30. jehovah's witnesses; baptism associative / e. ovcharenko / bns photo.. it is proposed to the seimas to refuse to grant state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah's witnesses religious community.. community representatives told bns that they hope that parliamentarians, taking into account the practice of the european court of human rights, will make a different decision.. the draft resolution registered by the chairman of the human rights committee of the seimas, tomas vytautas raskevičius, states that this community does not meet the requirements of the constitution and the law, that its education and rites do not conflict with laws and decency.. "the ministry of justice has determined that the religious teaching of this community is possibly not compatible with the constitution of our country in two aspects.
the first is that jehovah's witnesses oppose blood transfusions due to certain aspects related to health care (...).
nicolau - “For decades the Watchtower have kicked out members who didn't fully align with the organisation's rules and values. Karma's a bitch.”
“So that’s what that feels like.”
the watchtower society wants money, money and more money!.
the watchtower society has for some time now, secretly admired the harlotrous ways of her wicked counterpart, christendom.
yes, the many advantages christendom has gained over the years, adroitly avoiding any 'pains of life', persecution, or discomforts that are the result of maintaining a chaste and virtuous standing before jehovah.
I would argue that they need it more than they want it.
These are great, Simon…
…right up there with the classic knock-knock meme.
😁👍
only its benefits will be everlasting.
(for the earthly 2nd class sheep).
w80 7/1 p. 31 - questions from readers - why does the november 15, 1979, issue of the watchtower (pages 26, 27) speak of the “new covenant” being near the end of its operation, when hebrews 13:20 speaks of this covenant as being “an everlasting covenant”?
Every Bible writer was wrong.
Even the ones who were right.

on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
Sea Breeze - “…He joked that he's ‘trying to keep her alive till the end, because he's too old to break in a new wife’…”
Why would that matter?
I thought the GB were expecting to be raptured taken away to heaven when the End kicked off.
Did he just let something significant slip?

Yeah, I’m all broken up about it.

Funny…
…the way I’d heard it, Ol’ Freddy spent his twilight years aimlessly shuffling around Bethel dressed in Herb Tarleck’s hand-me-downs, and muttering to his shoes.

quote from that world wide resolution: .
that, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god’s messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the united nations, with international headquarters at new york city.
this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.
Something else just occurred to me.
All this, in turn, can’t help but make me wonder…
…just how much behind-the-scenes influence - or even control - does the WTS actually have over these other (former)“breakaway” Bible Student groups?
🤨
The Org obviously watched very carefully and took notes when the AOG splintered apart after Herbert Armstrong died…
…and we all know they took very draconian measures to mitigate schisms in the late 70s and early 80s (for a whole shit-ton of reasons).
What if (and I freely admit this is a bit out there) they were also able to legally and financially maneuver on the down-low to quietly take back some of the more potentially valuable (or vulnerable) prodigal churches… regardless of whether said prodigals wanted it? Or even realized it?
Now before you call horseshit, stop and think about it a minute…
…IF this had happened, it would have been done under Ted Jaracz’s watch.
And that authoritarian prick would have absolutely been capable of something that ruthless and unscrupulous… bringing wayward dogs to heel with an iron fist was practically his whole thing.
Means, motive, and opportunity, folks.
