it was nauseating to listen to the book study the past week on zoom.
old timers, and elders who have served for decades took the change of the vision in ezekiel chapter 40 thru 48 without blinking an eye.
just drank it down.

No change there, then.
I found the more I tried to build myself up 'spiritually(tm)' by studying these things, when I was a Jobo, was the more confused I became.
I now realise it's because it was all just utter codswallop and will ever remain thus, no matter the changes.
It makes them feel special to have all this airy fairy secret knowledge......yeah, like you said 'nauseating'.
i am not so sure if i am willing to discuss cbd with my jw aunt.
.
Atlantis. Thanks for the info.
You can always count on the GB (P1ss be upon them), for a negative review.
So, basically, the answer, as always with the GB is, 'NO!' with few options.
I bet if those sexual predator protectors got money from CBD, it'd be a , 'yes'.
What a bunch of totalitarian schnooks the GB are.
you are sadly mistaken.. i hear people say it on here all the time, and dare i say his name *cough* lloyd evans *cough* has said it a number of times, that watchtower is running scared and watchtower is in decline….. we need to put in perspective the decrease from the 2020 report.
if we calculate a yearly -0.6 decrease over a 10 year period from 2020 figures it leaves us the grand total number of witnesses of:.
by 2030: - 7,933,479. by 2040: - 7,471,357. by 2050: - 7,036,154. i agree that this is a significant decrease, but let’s not kid ourselves, the wt organisation will still be alive and well even with an annual 0.6% loss.
Whereas speculation is interesting, I'll believe it when I see it.
Even the Russellites are still around in some miniscule form/

this forum needs to be more interesting.
any ideas?
Oh, Jan. what kind of chap do you think I am?
isn`t there enough evidence to acknowledge the god of the bible has been a failure ?according to wt / jw teachings ?.
a god that has supposed to have created the visible universe and everything in it ?.
some points where i would challenge that from an earthlings point of view using the bible if only in paraphrase.. doesn`t god create everything perfect ?
I think Dawkins had it right when he stated that it mostly depends where and when you are born to determine what your belief system is. EG. If you were born in ancient Greece you'd probably worship Zeus. If you were a Viking you'd worship[ Odin. ..and so on and so fifth.
Therefore, I challenge anyone to justify why they just happen to believe in the god more appropriate to their own era and culture.
....and just why are there so many sects within a religion. Doesn't that alone prove that such a god is a useless communicator?
I have a nice potato falafel recipe that I cook occasionally.
I have it hanging from my fridge freezer at home, so I can't tell you the ingredients or method fully. It has everything including the kitchen sink in it virtually.

Jan. What about Wonderwoman? that sounds like a 'one' at the start to me
in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.
to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.
first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.
It basically said give to the WW Work,
WW = Worldwide Whiskey?
Oh, how the GB love to protect sexual predators in court cases. It only proves to me that there must be a sexual predator element within the GB. They all look a bit that way.

it seems like a crackpot co was giving his prediction of what "might possibly happen in the future" .
now it seems like he wasn't such a crackpot after all.. quote.
Hoser - Whatever it takes to keep the hamster on the wheel
Pretty much my thoughts.
Of course, we suspect the spies of the GB are watching these threads and so they might get some ideas from it; if indeed they do watch.
Here's a bit of 'new-light(tm), if they want it.
Mandatory reporting of paedos to the Police because of some odd scripture or other...you decide the scripture...OT normally.

True or not true, these culties always come up with some nonsense to justify being in the cult. They make it all about the cult and for the cult, so the inmates remain like nervous sheep in the sheep pen.
There's money to be had in it, I'll grant them that.
Being a JW MAKES you talk crap.
Typical cult balderdash.
