Thatâs it, WatchtowerâŠ
âŠkeep neutering all the things youâve held up for decades as hard proof you alone had âThe Truthâ.
Who needs incentive to stay, anyway?
feb broadcast they have a drama about someone who works with a colleague who is gay.. they actually make it sound like the jws are the only ones who support him and is tolerant of him and everyone else is against himđ€Ł.
after all these years they try gaslighting and saying we are the ones who are tolerant and everyone else is not!!!.
you couldnât make this up.. after this monumental u turn now, what about all the gay people who were born inâs who have been shunned by their own family?.
Thatâs it, WatchtowerâŠ

my dear husband, joe anderson, has had very real problems with his short-term memory for at least a year which really worried me.
as his mental health deteriorated, i decided to have our local longtime physician talk alone with joe during an office visit last september.

the entire internal religious culture of the watchtower organization is harmful for its current members.
the culture seems to traverse ethnic and national barriers.
however, the worst of each culture all around the world appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the religion in an attempt to make the org fanciful in every nation and locality.
no-zombie - ââŠthe fear of losing controlâŠâ
Trust me, it was much more than that.
It was the fear of not really being âGodâs Exclusive Earthly Organizationâ.
There isnât much they wonât do to keep up that premise.

ukpimo - ââŠhow long do they expect to carry on in the next 50 years?â
They donât.
The changes are all stopgap measures to stay in the black and continue to exist until God bails them out with Armageddon (any day now).
True believers, all the way up.
i was thinking that since russell started the movement in 1879 which became jehovah's witnesses in 1931 never has there been a period in time when all their activities just - stopped.
especially the preaching work.. do you think they will find some obscure verse in daniel that talks about this period of time and try to make a greater fulfillment?
like the 70 weeks of years or the 42 months?

for those who may be interested, jimmy bell has, with the help of others, created a letter to be sent to president trump regarding watchtower and their harmful practices and danger to children.
below is the link where you can download the letter.
Trump is - first and foremost - a businessmanâŠ
âŠso I would recommend approaching something like this from more of a financial angle.
Maybe a laundry list of ways that the Org is essentially abusing its âcharity statusâ.
Not that I think it would really workâŠ
âŠas nowwhat says, the JWs are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
there are no real numbers for jws but they are a relatively small group.
compared to the number of catholics at least.. the australian commission gathered more than 5000 cases with over 1000 perpetrators that went completely unreported for the jws.
likewise they did the same for catholics and collected just under 4800 cases with 1880 perpetrators.
At least one per congregation, Iâm sure.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelicals-oppose-removal-of-tax-status-in-canadian-proposal.html.
the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.
this will be interesting!.
hoser - ââŠI havenât heard a peep from any jw about this... Usually itâs talked about as potential persecution among the jwsâŠâ
Ten bucks says the ones who are aware of it probably have enough brains to realize that trying to spin âpaying back Caesarâs things to Caesarâ as âpersecutionâ would just make âem look like a bunch of numbskulls.
i've just remembered that i attended a hall where one of the brothers consistently quoted daily mail articles to back up his answers during the meetings.
i found it hard to keep a straight face when the inevitable daily mail article was quoted to 'prove' a bible passage at each meeting.. no one really seemed to mind and i remember one time i spoke to an elder and said this has to stop as he is passing off tabloid tattle as hard fact.. elder wasn't interested.
i guess as long as the answers backed up the party line no one cared..
the drying up of babylon's waters is a profound biblical motif that illustrates the certainty of divine judgment against those who oppose god.
looks like denmark is starting to hear the outcry of wt victims.
