  “ 7. what did rahela do to accept a change in direction?.

  You know they’ll never do that, right?

  It has been about keeping the Org’s reputation untarnished…

  … but only insomuch as it placed their charity status (and subsequent tax-exemption) at risk.

  More Importantly, it was about keeping the full scope of the problem from the rank-and-file.

  Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.

  each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.

  we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

  Rattigan - “So the problem is the critics preventing them to do that, not the GB itself.”

  Bitch, please.

  There’s no fucking way they’d just let it fade into extinction. If there wasn’t outside pressure to reform (at least on paper), JWs would still be practicing every aspect of their religion the exact same way they were doing it in the 1930s.

  Don’t try to put this on the “critics”.

  TonusOH - “…She credits Jehovah with saving her, instead of the doctors and nurses who diligently worked to keep her alive with the difficult burden of not using blood…”

  Can’t very well have agents of “Satan’s World” responsible for anything positive, now, can we?

  HereIam60 - “…Frankly, I think the only reason it was changed was because Mark Sanderson, GB member, wanted to grow one himself and persuaded the rest of the group to his way of thinking. (I'm willing to be corrected if wrong, but I think he was the first of the GB to appear with one)...”

  I always figured they were finally persuaded to try and look a little less like a high-control group for PR reasons, one of ‘em had to be first, and Sanderson drew the short straw.

  Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.

  by liam in

  usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.

  this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.

  for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

  Oh, so this.

  There’s no fucking way I’d even wanna go back and live in the 1980s or 90s.

  Vanderhoven7 - “…the idea that all honest church goers and leaders will survive the GT and Armageddon means the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is redundant and all their claims of association being critical to salvation are utter self-elevating nonsense…”

  Yup.

  It’s a more acceptable, mainstream idea… but that’s the primary difficulty with authentic mainstreaming on the part of the WTS…

  …it effectively neuters all the things they’ve held up for decades as hard proof they alone had The Truth.

  And once that’s gone…

  … so is virtually any remaining incentive to stay.

  3 Changes The Watchtower Made on Babylon The Great in the Last 6 Months

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower

  https://youtu.be/vpws6ncqpla?si=dqnf7-hupfr4pdta.

  for decades, jehovah’s witnesses have been banging on about babylon the great—the so-called world empire of false religion—being on the brink of collapse.

  any day now, they assured us, churches would empty out, priests would be left twiddling their thumbs, and humanity would collectively bin organised religion.

  1/2 of the Jehovah’s witnesses have gone

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are 1/2 of the jehovah’s witnesses that there were 30 years ago in my area.

  some have left but i think that many have died and none of their kids stayed being jehovah’s witnesses.

  7 congregations have been dissolved over the years.

  Bribie - “…the contents are prepared with chicken embryo fluid, which has been inoculated with the living flu strains. It is then treated with formaldehyde ( embalming fluid ) to inactivate the virus. Then, mercury is added to preserve the chemical stew. But that is not enough - anti - freeze ( ethylene glycol ) and phenol are put in to disinfect, and even animal viruses are sometimes introduced, undetected. It also contains aluminium…”

  Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah!!!

  I was going to write a new topic ... but now I just can't be bothered

  by no-zombie in

  i was going to write a new topic but now i just can't be bothered ... and i'll tell you why.. on my facebook feed a few days ago, i saw an interview of a couple of onlyfans girls, who said that they were active christians that attended church weekly.

  and while i was going to spend some time writing about the virtues of our faith's strict moral standards ... i now understand that i'd only be flamed as a watchtower apologist.. that being said, out of the approximately 4 million onlyfan girls out there ... it obvious, that none are jehovah's witnesses..
