  The Society and 1975.

  by Lost in the fog in

  stumbled upon this article - not that the wt society ever highlighted the date of 1975, but that was brothers running ahead... .

  w68 8/15 pp.

  494-501. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1968602#h=1:0 .

  mickbobcat - "...this is a good example of the leaders drinking the same koolaid they are giving the rank and file."

  Absolutely.

  All the available anecdotal evidence we have indicates that the WT leadership are full-on True Believers... and it's thoroughly backed up by the blunders they make.

  All the boners they pull are exactly the sort of mistakes one makes if one is convinced that he's completely right whilst being utterly wrong.

  (As I've said many times, it's a tremendously easy habit to fall into if you've been told for decades that God whispers in your ear, and you surround yourself solely with people who are never allowed to disagree with you.)

  To all the hardcore nationalists and loyalists...

  ...you're absolutely right.

  We should totally eliminate the political opposition completely (whoever or whatever it happens to be).

  Hell, the end result - a one-party state running the world's only remaining superpower - would be a terrific idea.

  wt sued faith leaks for reproducing 74 video items.

  faith leaks apparently climbed down.

  wt must be up there amongst the most litigious religious organisations in the world.. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/jehovahs-witnesses-resolve-copyright-dispute-with-faithleaks.

  All moot, IMO...

  ...as far as I'm concerned, the real reason they made a fuss is because they just couldn't stand having anyone use their stuff in a way that mocked them, or - even worse - deconstructed their ideology.

  It seems according to this doctor that there was always a cure for Covid 19

  the media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.

  have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.

  there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.

  I hate masks and social distancing...

  ...I really miss seeing how ugly people actually are and being able to get all up in their face to mock them about it.

  Why don’t couples have to remarry when becoming JWs?

  by enigma1863 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you have to get baptized even if you were baptized in several other religions so why don’t they require you to remarry your spouse, especially if you were married as a mormon or muslim and had multiple wives.

  some countries legally allow polygamy so you couldn’t necessarily just go by the laws of the country right?

  these problems probably never come up though because i bet not many flds or muslims become jws.

  Amazing what an ultraconservative authoritarian high-control group will require of its members, all in the interest of appearing more virtuous than anyone else.

  the greatest guitar god of his generation (or any), edward lodewijk van halen, has passed away.

  his failing mortal body could no longer contain his divine level of shred.

  Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yup - person has done nothing wrong.

  but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?

  if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

  WTWizard - "It could simply be 'brazen conduct'..."

  The most useful DFing catch-all the WT Leadership has ever come up with.
