Las Malvinas - “…There is no evidence that Jesus associated with people who dated sex workers…”
That…
…seems like a very strange thing to say.
For a number of reasons.
what are your memories of hall cleaning?.
i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.
the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

from reddit ex jw, a user posted this material of a hypothetical new light on dissociated people......i'm posting it only for the record, nothing else is known.
it seems that the topic has been deleted either by the moderators or by the user himself.
understanding dissociation in light of the scriptures.
“The Twelve”…
…sounds like a superhero team.

in an earlier thread another poster asserted that there is no evidence that revelation 3:14 played a part in the 4th controversy that led to the trinity doctrine.
this was claimed as evidence that the description of jesus as “the beginning of the creation of god” in the verse was not understood to mean that jesus was god’s first creation.
the scholarly greek–english lexicon of the new testament & other early christian literature 3e (2001) by bauer, arndt, gingrich, and danker, in its latest edition states that “first creation” is indeed the probable meaning of the greek phrase.
Wonderment - “…a common problem I see from ex-JWs is that somehow, at least some, have implied or concluded that any teaching associated with JWs must be simply wrong. I disagree with such assessment...”
Me too.
Even a busted clock is right twice a day.

the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.
some highlights: .
1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).
NotFormer - “…something someone does for the first time may be significant…”
This.
Case in point, Benedict XVI / Cardinal Ratzinger.
To the best of my knowledge, no sitting Pope had ever retired in the history of the RCC until him…
…it’s a lifetime appointment, and up till that moment, his predecessors had held the position till they died.
If anyone out there doesn’t think it was in response to Ratzinger’s exposed complicity in the Church’s child abuse problem, they’re naive.

TonusOH - “…I hope they are not trying to imply that the CSA allegations, lawsuits, and investigations are a sign of the end. That could go very badly for them if they lose any high-profile cases or if more mainstream attention is given to the investigations…”
From what we’ve heard, they are ready and willing to make that implication, if not directly saying it outright (they are True Believers, after all).
If the CSA tide keeps rising with no end in sight, and/or their their tax-exemption or state subsidies are revoked in more and more countries, they’ll be facing potential insolvency and shutdown.
At that point, what have they got to lose?

yeah wow women can finally wear pants and men beards...but 1914 is still a date not accepted since charles russell times and blood fractions are evil!!.
are they crazy!!!
!.
I think at this point, the reasons why Russel and Rutherford were wrong are kind of moot.
The way I see it, the WTS’s illegitimacy is due to it being an authoritarian high-control group.
Everything else about them that’s wrong essentially stems from that.
