  But I was a regular pioneer and didn't want to get married until I was 30. . .

  Hopefully that helped you avoid making the same dumb mistake some did at 17 just so they could have sex according to WT Rules.

  Murderous Jehovah's Witness bludgeoned female customer before leading meeting. Spiritual paradise?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1/31/2024 in the strange but true category.

  confused holy spirit appoints killer servant.

  "" a twisted jehovah's witness bludgeoned a woman he rowed with over incomplete building works to death with a hammer, then merrily whistled as he packed up his tools and went to lead a service at the church where they met.

  You just wonder what in the world it could possibly take to make people at least question the appointment arrangement when something like this happens.

  Aw, shucks! You are forgetting that they are just imperfect men and can make mistakes........

  (But you damn well better OBEY them!)

  Watchtower hires off-duty law enforcement

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  an indignant law enforcement officer wrote kim & mikey to let them know watchtower had placed an advertisement on a facebook page dedicated to law enforcement staff only, looking to hire a fully uniformed and armed officer at $35 per hour.

  the commission was for the memorial in a specified texan venue.. the officer was particularly miffed at the hypocrisy considering the terrible way law enforcement was portrayed in the 2018 convention video, where the jws had been herded into a field to be slaughtered by a large group of officers.

  not to mention the fact they are only too willing to call police for their own protection, yet won’t do so when it comes to protecting children from potential or actual abuse.. https://youtu.be/-rpcsztnvyo.

  I don't know how I did not see this 5 years ago.

  I don't have the time to watch the full video at the moment to learn the details. I suspect this is the action of some rogue congregation and its alpha elder on the BOE and was not done with Mother's blessing.

  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  When was the last time you saw all that 2520 years mumbo jumbo in print?

  As already stated in a recent thread on this forum, it is specifically covered in ’Lesson 32’ of their current ‘Bible study’ textbook.

  I had to read this a couple times to realize how great I should feel about this reply to my question. I don't know how long this "Bible study textbook" has been in print (or should I say, has been available), but it made me realize that I NO LONGER AM KEEPING UP WITH THE JW DOCTRINE BULLSH|T. I can't even tell you the name of that textbook!

  I suspect it is in Lesson 32 (vs Lesson 2) because it gives them time to get their hooks into the new victim before they pull out this ridiculous "doctrine".

  The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

  Are you sure that WT hasn't already abandoned 607?

  When was the last time you saw all that 2520 years mumbo jumbo in print?

  What percentage of active JW's do you think could Splane it? (Get it? "Splane" it like David Splane traying to "splane" the overlapping generational BS?)

  [Sarcasm alert]

  Maybe I should splane I'm in a funky mood this morning. Must be the lack of sunlight yesterday.

  Always keep quiet around Jw's they will rat you out in a heart beat.

  And they will think you should thank them for trying to “save your (everlasting) life”!
