the former image was obtained from a topic in the humor and joke section of this platform and it seems to carry a underground information that is equally powerful.. since a food company had been producing a particular product for four generations since 1914, how come the wtbts publishing company are still producing for a one generation since 1914?.

awake october 1968 stated............ even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of "this generation" nearly 70 years old today(year 1968).

so the great majority of the generation to which jesus was referring has already passed away in death.

Why Does It Seem That Black People Are Always Being Shot By The Police?

there is either a conspiracy against blacks in this country and police are out to get them or it’s that they are getting caught breaking the law and often times refuse to obey police authority.

14 ACRES? That's an unusual amount of extra property for a KHall. That would up the asking price no doubt.

My letter of disassociation, what do you think?

by James Jack in

dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.

that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.

statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!

Sorry to hear that. With your life experience, you'd most likely have been a great public servant.

Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i realize some here are diehard democrats.

whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

Watchtower Society organization functions as the only spokesman on earth for Jehovah...Wait! There may be others

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

praise jehovah with his people.

w73 7/1 pp.

4 consider, too, the fact that jehovah’s organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by god’s holy spirit or active force.

My JW family would just claim that the video was "altered" by some evil apostate.

Resolution passing with zoom

by jonahstourguide in

hi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.

perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.

not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".

What can the org do when congregations cannot live up to their commitment?

The servant body will be hard pressed to make up any difference lest they be ridiculed when the CO drops in on them. Not living up to the commitment will be seen as "spiritual weakness" for that Cong and especially for the Elders/MS.

I'm not sure that the Zoom procedure was all that much different from how it was handled in meetings. They were always "unanimous" because anyone who did actually question such things was too intimidated to go against the crowd. But I'm sure more and more PIMO's are rebelling by shutting their wallets. (It's all about the money!)

OOPS! Accidentally clicked DISLIKE! SORRY. My mistake.

I think your idea is great. Let them count their time, and just ignore that part of it. Respond like a NORMAL person vs a CULT MEMBER.
