Still no U turn on vax mandates for all schools

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

you still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.

elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.

after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?

exbeth - This is ridiculous.

Like all things Jobot.

Lots of dimwits won't change their views on the rona. I still see people with their rona masks on in supermarkets and such. You can tell the lights are on but no one's home!

Lots of corporations and politicians are on the make with their over blown nonsense. That's why 'fact checkers(tm)' who are on the payroll of these pigs, halt anything that exposes the rona lies.

We live in a dictatorship but we just can't see it.

We are being conned! People need to AWAKE! (Good name for a magazine, ay?)

We are now 23 Years past Armageddon as the GB stated

by JohnTron7 in

so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

*** jv chap. 28 p. 632 Testing and Sifting From Within ***
Based on the premise that events of the first century might find parallels in related events later, they also concluded that if Jesus’ baptism and anointing in the autumn of 29　C.E. paralleled the beginning of an invisible presence in 1874, then his riding into Jerusalem as King in the spring of 33　C.E. would point to the spring of 1878 as the time when he would assume his power as heavenly King

Ratty - The one who is not serious but pulling our legs said - The end was never forecast in 1914, 1925, 1975 or 2000.

Oi, Ratty I know you're having a laugh with us. But any in doubt can have a quick a butchers at this

Watchtower 1989 January 1 p.12
"He was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century."
(The 1989 Watchtower used the term "in our 20th century" in the magazine, but this was changed to "in our day" for the bound volume and subsequent CD library.

Armageddon(tm) came invisibly.

by EdenOne in

say it with memes!

let's create a repository of memes on this thread, new old and whatnot!

An analysis of the recent 153rd Gilead Graduation talk by Jesse Morris (member of the US Branch Committee and son of Anthony Morris III)

article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).

it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!

magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?

Tone- They want the rank and file to see this massively-reduced output as a blessing of some kind.

Where will they get their 'Spiritual food(tm)' now?

Blimey, surely not their awfully drab website?

Barnes notes and William Barclay commentaries are in plentiful supply if they decide not be bored by the relentless and constant browbeating of 'DO MORE' and 'GIVE US ALL OF YOUR MONEY'.

LV101 - Agreed. They really are utter filth. Not dissimilar to all our Politicians. Control and self service. I loathe them all!

In other words, 'switch the brain off, that Jehovah(tm) gave you, and instead, do obeisance to the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).'

Where have I heard this before?

What a disgusting CULT the Watchtower Corporation(tm) really is!

Last seen in Heaven in the book of Revelation................or was that the Arc (anagram of car).

No, that doesn't really work, Ark to Kar.

Oh, well I tried.

Just as I am without one plea

by Magpienat in

behold now is the accepted time.

behold now is the day of salvation.

if you had to do anything before coming to christ to be saved, then now is not the accepted time.. salvation is faith in christ and in christ alone.. jws must first have to prove themselves before they are approved.

I don't need to be told what to believe by people who think they and THEY ALONE, know best. Hubris 101.

I fear that sometimes the Bible is great fodder for those that don't want a proper job and want just to monetise the Bible.

I'm sick of these people that will pick a scripture out of it's original context and say, 'this means (such and such a thing), now.' Yes. Of course. It always does. Then it means something different to someone else.

Sigh!! Get a grip!

I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

by BeaverEater in

im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

lol.
