  WTS Says Faith Should Not be in an Organization?

  by blondie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the hypocrisy of the wts knows no bounds

  most jws would say, "but we have faith in jehovah, jesus and the bible, not in men.

  " yet in many places the wts does demand jws to have faith.

  Not a chance.

  They would just announce: "[So-and-so] is no longer one of JW's."

  Game over.

  How far do we get away from 1914

  by PimoElder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.

  they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .

  with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.

  That's likely a made-up BS story just as was the "whistleblower" that secretly (did not) meet with Adam Schiff that led to Trump's impeachment.Did any further information come out about that? No. Everyone forgot it and moved on to the next crisis.

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  So inflation went down by a tiny amount, this imbecile is now claiming it means there is 0% inflation

  No doubt Dominion is calculating the inflation rate for them. After all, Dominion did them quite well when counting the 2020 ballots.

  20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.

  that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.

  unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

  But the approach to Bible interpretation is honest and correct and there is good reason to believe they are correct~ Fisherman

  I say there are A LOT MORE reasons (past performance) to believe they are WRONG AGAIN!

  Disagree with your view – – fisherman
  JW’s make mistakes but do their best – – fisherman

  You are entitled to have your own point of view/opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. Historical facts prove 607 is wrong.

  Well I’m pretty sure the Catholic Church feels like they have made but are also doing their best, as do the Baptists, as do the Presbyterians, as do the etc. etc.

  But they did get those dates wrong.

  That doesn’t disqualify them as God’s org or falsify their correct understanding of the Bible. ~ Fisherman
  

  That doesn't disqualify them? Seriously? I thought the Bible makes it clear in Deut 18:20-22:

  20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death." 21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

  But they did claim to be "God's prophet" (the modern day Ezekiel class) and what they claimed clearly (many times) did not come true. Shouldn't it be clear (even to a JW) that this means they DO NOT speak/represent God?

  But I guess there's a way to weasel out of this too?

  I was always under the impression that the airplane frequently used by the GB and WT heavies was a private plane owned by a brother who is an engineer and he covered the expense of its use.

  Resuming door to door September 1st

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  gb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.

  what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.

  zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

  I guessing that this return to Field Circus isn't going to get great support and whatever support it gets, most of that time will still be spent at McDonalds or Starbucks (depending on each JW's social economic status.

  Was you or your family ever a local needs talk subject?

  by Foolednomore in

  1. jw

  our family was always a topic on a local needs talk.

  but it was funny when the brothers needed money they would come with their hands out.

  this is when we lived in the states.
