By 'test', they mean to only read JW publications(tm).
It's all so hollow.
If they actually did 'test', there wouldn't be any Jobots left. they'd all become 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)'.

Wise counsel for JW's in latest WT
by BoogerMan injune 2023 study watchtower p. 13, par 15 - “we will not be fooled if we “make sure of or, “test” all things.”...we need to test what we hear or what we read to determine whether it is genuine.....instead of naively accepting what others the org say, we use our thinking ability to compare what we read or what we hear with what the bible and jehovah’s organization say.”.

Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother
by RULES & REGULATIONS infourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.
my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.
the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

The elder doesn't care, nor offers an apology for his behavior.
...and that says it all.
It sums up how the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), have had their abusive attitude trickle down to the congregations(tm).
I wonder how he'd feel if/when he finds out the Organisation(tm) is just a cash cow for the CEOs and only a big business pretending to be a religion?
Disgusting behaviour by a dim-witted pawn of the big business.

What novels would you recommend?
by LoveUniHateExams ini used to have a large-ish novel collection but my current collection is scaled-down because i was forced to move back to bolton 4 years ago and didn't have enough room for them all in my suitcases.. i currently own just 9 novels.. salem's lot (stephen king).

Metamorphosis - Kafka
Uncertain Midnight - Edmund Cooper
Colditz - PR Reid
I'm a bit bored with novels because they all seem a formulaic. IE. Character has a problem. Problem getting solved. Then it all goes wrong. Finally the character triumphs.....or in the case of horror stories, everyone dies at the end. So tedious.

What Would Grandfather Say Now?
by LostintheFog1999 inmy late grandfather believed he was one of the anointed.
that aside when asked about whether the jw organisation would last, he would pull out the attached wt magazine (the second edition) and say "if the day ever comes when the organisation asks for money outright, it will be proof that jehovah is not it's backer.
" that's how convinced he was that such a thing would never happen.. i often wonder what my grandfather would make of the modern organisation today..

I wonder if he'd notice that the Governing Body(tm)(pee be upon them), of a Corporation now solely owned that title excluding all others by calling them irrelevant and/or bonkers.

COVID 19 - DISSOCIATION LETTER
by gavindlt indear friends,.
i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.
it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

As I said before, the letter is way too long. For this reason they'll assign it to the 'crank file'.
Perhaps you got it all out of your system though.

That one about the bloke that tried to steady the ark of the covenant made me think that god was a vindictive bully. I can't be bothered looking for the scripture at the moment because I no longer believe all that guff.

What's your take on being anointed. What requirements do you have to fulfill?
by Hellothere inmy personal opinion is someone that's gonna rule in heaven, has to prove himself on earth before.
so satan don't have accusations against that person.
a christian king is a loving one.

I don't really believe all this stuff. I guess from a JW perspective this:
The Governing body(tm) (pee be upon them), have now commandeered their whole 'anointed(tm)' label for themselves as CEO's, exclusively.
This, in my opinion, is because as a Corporation, they cannot allow the rank and file(tm) to get any prestige thru' the Corporation's own interpretation of their own corrupted version of the Bible. The GB(tm) (Pee be upon them), retain all control of their weird interpretation of their own 'Holy Scriptures(tm) (Oddly, not called the Bible).
These CEO's probably don't believe their own doctrine because they know that they are not a religion. They have now become just a big business fooling people into believing they're a religion to keep the cash rolling in for the CEOs to live like rock stars.
It's all just a big scam where lives are lost and ruined......and the leaders in the business don't care as long as they're ok.

The more you look at how they're now swinging the 'anointed(tm)' schtick, is the more you can see how totally corporate and non religious they are becoming.
The new GB members = businessmen not religious.
I'd be surprised if any of them actually believe in god.
