  JW prepper fiction

  by Teddnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

  one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

  i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

  Plus, I don’t think the vast majority of local rank-and-filers fully grasp what a post-apocalyptic, indefinitely WT-run world would be.

  Hell, when I first did, I felt sick to my stomach, and I was still in at the time.

  nowwhat? - “…what makes them think nebachadnezzar's did?”

  The WTS needs to have prophecies that haven’t been fulfilled yet.

  Otherwise, what’s the point?

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  ExBethelitenowPIMA - “There is such a shortage of brothers midweek now they are having sisters take the group and say prayers…”

  Ten bucks says most of ‘em are better at it, too…

  …and the WT leadership will end up wanting to prune the meetings down to just Sundays to avoid it.

  MeanMrMustard - “…a little at first and then all at once.”

  Isn’t that how Enron went?

  Ron.W. - “…you could now have old fart brothers and sisters pulled into the back room and warned for murmuring about brothers who now have beards…”

  I’d seriously pay cash money to see that.

  road to nowhere - “Their news makes the main stream media look like actual unbiased reporting.”

  Compared to JW-dot-org, the mainstream media IS actual unbiased reporting.

  I dabbled in writing for a while…

  …once even penned an outline for a seven-volume epic based on WT eschatology…

  …as in, “what if it all technically came true, but turned upside-down and backwards in a way that uptight JW loyalists would absolutely hate, yet have no choice but to accept, because there was no other explanation”.

  (It was a long time ago and I lost the floppy disc it was saved on 😄)

  Are You Ready for the Most Important Day of the Year?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. bible

  luke 22:14 so when the hour came, he reclined at the table along with the apostles.

  and he said to them: “i have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer; 16 for i tell you, i will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of god.” 17 and accepting a cup, he gave thanks and said: “take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves, 18 for i tell you, from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.”.

  19 also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “this means my body, which is to be given in your behalf.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

  branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

  number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).
