  Do Jehovah's Witnesses interpret the Bible properly?

  do jehovah's witnesses interpret the bible properly?.

  jehovah's witnesses see the bible as an organizational book which only the faithful and discreet slave (currently 8 men headquartered in warwick new york) can interpret properly.

  the faithful slave was first appointed in brooklyn in 1919 and given the exclusive right and ability to understand and teach the bible properly.

  Personally, I don't think there is a "correct" way to interpret the Bible...

  ...but there are endless agenda-driven ways to do it.

  i just heard this story from one of my relatives.

  i'm leaving a lot of things out.. a jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion.

  the oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a jw girl.

  "JesusVision"...

  ..."Where in The World are Caleb and Sophia?"...

  ...and a balls-out, batshit insane adaptation of the "Revelation-Climax" book.

  They could hire Tom Ellis to play Satan.

  The "Regular Pioneer" title has now become a total joke

  by pistolpete in

  we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.

  apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.

  because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.

  Since I suspect the whole door-to-door record-keeping thing was actually to maintain a “charity”-related paper trail (in case of auditing), and the Org’s tax-exemption is likely approaching it’s end, there probably isn’t much point, anymore.

  i knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.

  i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.

  The new Dune remake is terrific.

  It adapts the first half of the book, with more to come.

  There were always little itty bitty things that added up less and less, but looking back it was realizing that evolution had to be true…

  …and eventually figuring out the Truth about the Truth on my own.

  I eventually started looking online for confirmation more than anything else.

  Thats the funny thing about reading XJW material on the net…

  …contrary to what the WTS says, it doesn’t turn you “apostate”.

  It just helps you realize you already are one.

  Never expect anyone to solve a problem when their livelihood depends on that problem existing

  by Simon in

  imagine you were a leader of a "gender equality" group started as part of the 'metoo' movement?.

  now fast-forward and you're the one trying to discredit victims who have come forward with accusations.

  but not they are accusations against someone you work for.. it's a perfect example of how activists so often end up unwittingly (or quite intentionally) perpetuating the very problem they claim to be against.

  Don’t Trust the Courts! Splane’s Latest Anti-Apostate Talk

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  david splane’s talk “put up a hard fight for the faith” was that last talk presented on the saturday of the annual convention.

  this talk was to largely address apostates and restated ideas and arguments often presented before.

  however, this year, watchtower is spending more time in disqualifying negative findings originating from secular courts and here is the segment of interest here: .
