21Do you recognize this?
by Gorb inthinking sometimes about my youth days and the stories my grandfather told me about our jw congregation.
do you recognize that your congregation was full of somehowe strange folks, very low educated, poor and simple?.
the po was an elder with some distance, with some personality acting intelligent and following the rules strict.. there was always a kind of scandal.

Is Watchtower totally off base on Armageddon?
by Vanderhoven7 into me it is quite evident that the gt spoken about in matthew 24, mark 13 and luke 21 is a one time, non-repeatable localized event resulting in the destruction of jerusalem and the temple followed by the dispersion of surviving jews throughout the nations.. however, what is not so clear to most is that the gt of revelation deals with the same event.
my understanding is that the gb of jehovah witnesses has no clue as to how to interpret the apocalyptic messages found both in the synoptics and revelation.
but steve greg has armageddon down pat.

AWAKE MAGAZIBE'S SURPRISING NEW DIRECTION
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/ze4q_7_-uo4?si=l0xe0drc5a9urhyt.
so there was a time the awake magazine was printed every 15 days but now since jehovah is blessing them so much the magazine is printed once a year, and here you have the 1st edition for the year , which is nothing more than an informatial of how good of a charity they are to their local community.
so we read in the following box: what we are doing firstly, jehovah’s witnesses promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

westiebilly11 - “…the society is publishing much online and reducing printing magazines to free up resources…”
In part…
…but more because the ability to edit, redact, or completely eliminate their online content more easily enables them to control the narrative…
…and thereby minimize the amount of embarrassing or incriminating material - past or present - that might otherwise undermine their legitimacy and authority.

Re. the blood prohibition…
…Bertrand Russell's quote “I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong” lives rent-free in my head, and is welcome to stay as long as it wants to.

Agreed.
Rutherford’s anti-establishment contrarianism appealed to a lot of folks, but he had a mean streak that started Knorr (and to a lesser degree, Fred Franz) down the hardline path….
…culminating in the embarrassments of the 1970s that started to really undermine the Org’s claims of exclusive divine favor…
…and the fear-driven - and therefore disproportionately heavy-handed - responses taken during the Jaraczic Period to snuff out any real or imagined threat to that premise (particularly the growing problem of child abuse) permanently cemented the Org as an authoritarian high-control group…
…which virtually guaranteed things would continue to get progressively worse.

A Jehovah's Witness family's excellent Letter of Resignation trending on exjw Reddit today
by Balaamsass2 ini got an email notice today on this excellent letter of resignation from a german family that is trending on reddit.
i thought i would share it here if anyone is so inclined to write one.
for those with pimi jw family and jw business connections, it may not be wise to share such a letter, but i imagine it must be very freeing to send such a letter.

Ron - “…there's far more proof that the JWs do not have 'the truth' than any proof that they do…”
I remember when I first realized that.

Sorcery = Pharmakeia
by KerryKing inrev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.. the interlinear for sorceries reads pharmakeia.. bible hub has some interesting definitions, i'll try to share screenshots below.
the gist of it is that sorcery involves drugs/medicines/poisons, with or without spells, sorcery is not the same as witchcraft or divination, or white/black magic.
i have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.. considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, nsaids with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, i wonder am i going mad, are these all coincidences??

God, being afraid of literally everything must be fucking exhausting.
