we get old because jehovah had to prove to all the angels that his way of ruling was the best?

that's the sorriest argument the watchtower has come up with.

if you substitute j.w org for c of e this really hits home : (from bbc news site) :.

the church of england risks further crisis if it fails to adopt a sweeping new independent system to keep people safe, the former head of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse has said.

(prof. alexis jay).. "i think it's absolutely necessary because church safeguarding as it stands falls below the standards of secular organisations, and i do not think that can continue when it has also led to such serious weaknesses," she told the bbc..

The org's failed last days predictions were "well meant."
by BoogerMan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
w93 6/1 p. 15 par.

6 be sound in mind - the end is close - "of course, well-meaning, faithful christians in the past have sincerely tried to predict when the end would come.".

more than 140 years of a sincere & well-meaning "it's coming soon" from the org, can be swept under the carpet - nothing to see here!.

What will happen to the Watchtower Religion now that Trump has Withdrawn from certain aspects of the United Nations.
by liam in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so trump has signed an executive order to withdraw from the united nations human rights council, a refugee organization, some others parts as well and calls for a review of american involvement in funding of the united nations.

he said the united nations has not been living to its potential and they need to get their act together or just dissolve the organization completely.

he said america will continue to be a part of the un but it's tiring that the united states is the country that funds most of the monies and that can't continue.

JW internal culture is destroying everything that makes a Jehovah’s Witness
by ukpimo in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the entire internal religious culture of the watchtower organization is harmful for its current members.

the culture seems to traverse ethnic and national barriers.

however, the worst of each culture all around the world appears to have a symbiotic relationship with the religion in an attempt to make the org fanciful in every nation and locality.
