  If all GB members died at once?

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't suppose anyone knows for sure, but do we have any kind of hint of what would happen if all of the governing body members died at the same time- such that nobody was left to appoint successors?

  in lieu of any solid evidence, i'd also be interested in hearing some speculation based on what we already know about the organizational structure.. it would certainly throw a wrench in either the teaching that the faithful and discreet slave will survive into the great tribulation and/or the implied doctrine that the the gb succession arrangement is justifiable biblically.

  let me firmly disclaim any implication that i am encouraging violence or wishing death on the governing body.

  FedUp - the "helpers"

  They'd use that scripture where Jesus would send the 'helper' or some garbage.

  Lloyd Evans keeps doing parts on how the JWs are guilty of follwing the bible.

  i have been watching evans videos for a while.

  he keeps attacking the cult for following the bible.

  women are to be subservient to men.

  I feel a lot of YouTubers are in it for 'fame' and the trappings that follow. Whether Mr Evans is one of these or not, I do not know.

  I really don't take notice of people on their soap boxes anymore. It's all false.

  sorry if i shouldn't be posting this, i am not jw however i have had past experiences with jw's and was learning a lot about the religion, in hopes to convert one day.

  it all ended suddenly and i guess i feel guilty for not learning more, i would get scared at the thought of bible studies and discussions in case it brought back memories.

  i was looking for any advice on the best ways i can find out more please.

  Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

  i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

  a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

  The subject was vorboten in the congregations I had the displeasure to attend.

  One Elder did ask about it but was swiftly told to shut his cakehole.

  Hello, Kimmy.

  In a word, 'RUN'

  Avoid the Watchtower corporation like the Rona. You will end up in a world of pain because they are not what they pretend to be.

  I know, I was an Elder. It's dark at the top!

  On the current migrant crisis

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.

  they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.

  there's just no fixing stupid, is there .

  One thing is for sure; since the Rona and lockdowns, I no longer trust any stats or figures we're told. It's like reading the Watchtower all over again. Makes me puke!

  Righty - Ex JW. This website is a disappointment after I used it when I was leaving 10 years ago.

  Hello, righty. I hope all is well with you.

  Tell us more about your JW experiences and stuff, it's far more interesting that politics. Why not start a thread about when you were a Jobo?
