latest gb update.
only took them 20 years to see beards are acceptable in society.
.
I dunno…
…the “Plain Truth” guys tried mainstreaming after Herbert Armstrong died, shattered into a million pieces, and hardly anyone even remembers them anymore.
Either the WT is so anxious about losing members and/or their tax-exemption that they’ll actually risk trying this, or they’ve figured out the alternative is even worse.
doesn't anyone ever scoll down first to see if the subject was already posted first?
!.
Breaking news doesn’t give you bragging rights.
It just means you’re a minute or two ahead of the curve.
It’s Friday, have a drink.
just been watching a youtube video by jw escape, lovely lady.
the subject was this weeks watchtower - “are you ready to obey?”.
what a blatant psyop this is.
I don’t think he’s creepy/sleazy.
I do think he’s weird as fuck, though.
there are many things wrong with the gospel jehovah's witnesses preach.
here is one.. according to their literature, only those associated with the watchtower organization will survive armageddon into the new system.
is this what the apostles preached as gospel?.
“Gospel” is supposed to translate as “Good News”.
here is the org's problem with zoom, attending this way does not fit with their "scriptural definition" of a christian gathering.
at least not anymore, one thing my pimi wife is fine with is attending on zoom occasionally, even 2-3 times a month or so.. if some of you recall, during covid there were break out rooms setup for people to stay on and associate.
many would also stay in the main meeting and talk over each other trying to say hello, etc.
BluesBrother - “…They be logged into the zoom meeting, but are they even watching?”
"the new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 metres deep.
they may have been up to one kilometre deep.".
yet, some secularists say they are sure that the earth was never completely flooded with water above the tops of mountains as described in genesis.
Sea Breeze - “…To the contrary. I fully intended in never stepping foot in any church again after I left the WT and attended university…”
I never said you were a churchgoer.
I said you were a Biblical literalist.
You’ve stated before that you believe the creation narrative in Genesis is historical record (and once got into an argument here with a Jewish scholar over the subject… I was there).
That is quintessential Biblical literalism.
if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.
but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?
it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.
blondie - “…They are actually ridiculing the old beliefs that if you hoped someone died before Armageddon then you were stupid…”
Yeah, kinda mean.
Better if he’d admonished that simply hoping someone dies (for whatever reason) is unrighteous.

IMO, three of the biggest things for maintaining discipline in any high-control collective are in-person fellowship, group-oriented tasks, and conformity.
Covid and Zoom have dealt a crippling blow to the first two, and the third one doesn’t seem too far behind.
.........because it would cancel out their "upper & lower class christians" fairy story - aka the anointed & non-anointed.. antitype: the fleshly nation of israel and exodus foreigner converts were participants of the mosaic covenant.. type: christianity - the israel of god ("spiritual israel") and gentile converts became participants in the new covenant..
Best one I heard was from Outlaw, though… “he lived as a rotten asshole… and he died from a rotten asshole” (colon cancer, for any newbies tuning in).
I’ve long felt that if there’s any real sense of karma in the universe, he and Jaracz are cellmates in Hell.
BTW, I think Rutherford might have cribbed the Paradise Earth idea from certain Hebrew schools of thought. I could be wrong.
