  by Listener in

  wally, a youtuber from jw thoughts highlighted something that was said by kenneth cook jnr in the annual meeting.

  he thinks it may be removed before they publish the agm.

  i doubt we would see it in writing either.. part of kenneth's talk was about the changes regarding disfellowshipping and the clip from jw thoughts youtube shows him saying -.

  Self-delusion is an easy habit to fall into when you surround yourself solely with people who are never allowed to disagree with you.

  1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

  he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

  a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

  generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

  DisgruntledFool - “…some women have a higher and stronger sex drive than they do and if given the chance she could 'wring her husband out like a washtowel' and come right back for more...”

  Thank God for women like that. 😏

  If the UN fails, what do JWs have prepared?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a podcast about the current geopolitical situation, apparently the un has gone so far off the reservation being controlled by and trying to align themselves with anti-west values, a number of countries is attempting to kick israel out of the un because it is defending itself against iran.. off course, many african nations, some middle eastern, china and russia and a few european nations are all in some amalgamated economic league.

  if the vote happens while biden is still president, it’s unlikely, given the election, the party is willing to throw their anti-semitic base under the bus and wouldn’t veto it, hence why these people are considering doing this now and china/russia would go along just to create some mayhem.

  the un weeks ago voted to hand over a significant part of jerusalem to an unspecified state of palestine, this likewise went unopposed by the biden-harris administration.. if this happens, given the outcome of the next election, the us will almost certainly have to abandon and disband the un.

  Watch Tower PA sues Russia in DC district over confiscation of Bethel

  by Corney in

  the watch tower society of pennsylvania filed a lawsuit on september 3, 2024, naming as defendants the russian federation, the russian ministry of health, and the almazov national medical research center.

  unfortunately, i can't access the case documents, including the complaint.

  i would appreciate if someone with an active pacer account could make them available.. anyway, it is enough to know the almazov center is one of the entities sued by the wts to say what this case is about.

  NEW LEAKED ANNUAL MEETING VIDEO :KENNETH COOK :THE DISFELLOSHIPPING IS NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON

  by raymond frantz in

  https://youtu.be/6ga9v7ffrwk?si=0lor5qquapmq8ck4.

  what you are about to watch is another leaked instalment from the recent annual meeting delivered by kenneth cook with the theme "help to tear down and build up" and highlights tge new take o disfellowshipping that will from now concentrate on major wrongdoing whereas minor wrongdoing will be dealt with kind and love.so the watchtower's at it again, rewriting the narrative like an old tv show that conveniently forgets a character's past.

  for decades, the organization has been the ultimate gatekeeper, quick to kick out members for even minor missteps—let's not forget how jehovah's witnesses have had to grovel and practically beg to be reinstated.

  Vanderhoven7 - “…JWs need to stop humming and hawing, deferring to the website, pretending and speaking out of both sides of their mouths and start boldly proclaiming their beliefs that even they feel uncomfortable holding and explaining.”

  Yeah, shit or get off the pot.

  BABYLON THE GREAT IS NOT FALLING ANYMORE? (NEW LIGHT FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING)

  by raymond frantz in

  the watchtower’s babylon the great: a shrinking reality?.

  so this latest annual meeting introduced a new idea about babylon the great, and here is the part from geoffrey jackson's talk we real need to dig in and consider it's ramifications..... so you’ve got to hand it to them; they know how to keep things interesting with their ever-evolving interpretations and, of course, those classic "adjustments" in understanding.

  Kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

  Problem is, mainstreaming inevitably neuters all the the things the Org holds up as hard proof they alone have the Truth.

  Once that’s gone, where’s the incentive to stay?

  Show me a man who doesn’t go down on his woman, and I’ll show you a woman who steps out on her man.

  “…It is only because of the ransom that we have forgiveness of our sins..."

  "….The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed…."

  I’ve always found that little dichotomy puzzling.
