The Elders' decisions are directed by Holy Spirit and are merely confirming the decisions already made in heaven.
Yeah..........right!

Still Confused About The FDS
by NotFormer inthis was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4911685446402048/fun-moment.
if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.

Confused?
They are 8 (or 9, or 10, or 12, depending on when you're counting heads) delusional men that really, honest to God, think that God is "talking" to them, and "through" them to a few million sheeple followers (less than 1/10th of 1% of the world population), who have declared themselves, and them alone, as the Faithful & Discreet Slave spoken about in Matt. 24:45. Though just a few years ago, they taught that it was all of those who declared to be of the remaining members of the 144,000 (the "remnant"). Evidently that changed to it being ONLY the GB when the "F&D Slave" was named in a lawsuit and served to one of those claiming to be of the "remnant".
Wake up! It's all bullshit!
Let's review: It's a Cult!

Kingdom hall cleaning
by Farmer Jim1 inwhat are your memories of hall cleaning?.
i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.
the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

Crisis of Conscience
by Freeatlast2024 inthis is my first time posting to this forum.
let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.
i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.

Now that you've read CoC, run out and get (or click on Amazon) Steven Hassan's book, "Combatting Cult Mind Control". I kept putting off reading and when I finally did, I was SHOCKED! Hassan is actually writing about his time in the Moonies, but it paints WT/JWs as though they are the Post Child of Cults.
Welcome to the Red Pill Journey.

A fun moment
by Vidiot inmy wife of many years is more-or-less pomo, but she still (nominally) believes in jehovah and the bible.. she raised her eyebrows when she realized the full scope of the csa problem… rolled her eyes when letto the clown called babies “little enemies of god”… but today, we apparently crossed a real threshold….
…her response to the governing body being referred to as “our future kings” was….
…“what????!!!!!”.

This goes right into the trash can upon arrival at WT HQ.
Ah..........come on! That may not be true. If there is a shortage of toilet paper, it may well be to good use assuming he sent a "hard copy".
Kosonen-- give it up! Maybe give yoga a try if speaking with a therapist hasn't helped.

Lithuania Set to Mirror Norway's Approach on Jehovah's Witnesses
by raymond frantz init is proposed to the seimas not to grant state recognition to the religious community of jehovah's witnesses.
lithuania05/05/2024 09:30. jehovah's witnesses; baptism associative / e. ovcharenko / bns photo.. it is proposed to the seimas to refuse to grant state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah's witnesses religious community.. community representatives told bns that they hope that parliamentarians, taking into account the practice of the european court of human rights, will make a different decision.. the draft resolution registered by the chairman of the human rights committee of the seimas, tomas vytautas raskevičius, states that this community does not meet the requirements of the constitution and the law, that its education and rites do not conflict with laws and decency.. "the ministry of justice has determined that the religious teaching of this community is possibly not compatible with the constitution of our country in two aspects.
the first is that jehovah's witnesses oppose blood transfusions due to certain aspects related to health care (...).
