Well, if it's an issue, certain demographics should plead to their authorities to change marriage laws. In other words, stop marrying off teen daughters.

Today's WT. Jephthah's Daughter - Virgin Slave or Crispy Critter?
by Slidin Fast ini whiled away the time today in the wt researching the above question on line.
it seems to me that there is more evidence to say that the account simply depicts the poor nameless child/woman as being toast.
the idea of her going into "tabernacle service" is completely fabricated and has no basis in scripture.

What I find odd about bible "scholars", particularly Christians, is that they never seem to ask the Jews about their own writings.
Jepthah's daughter, the question posed of the lady who had seven husbands ( I know where that came from), the saying 'Where the dead body is there the vultures will gather.' (Where there's smoke there's fire. Ie, it will be obvious)
Ya gotta ask stuff if you want to know the whole of what's going on/being said.

I just don't understand this, what am I missing???
by Greybeard inas i am watching this video about changes at bethel, the speaker said, "aren't we glad the faithful and discrete slave continues to make adjustments when necessary.
what about this change?
"finally, we examined why jesus’ arrival to appoint the faithful slave over all his belongings did not occur in 1919 but will take place during the great tribulation" that is from this online watchtower article last paragraph: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20130715/jesus-prophecy-last-days/ .

See, that's your problem Greybeard. You got that thinking "disease"; that abomination which causes desolation. (I can jack up and misuse scriptures too, ☺) There's no understanding the incoherent, unreasonable, or insane.
They GB all but came out and said, "obey us even if it doesn't make any sense." That was said for the oldz that know stuff and for the young who may put together a coherent thought.
Videos of hiding in bunkers, extreme shunning bringing praise, give up all your means to 'the invisible cause' again? We're not the slave but are the slave. The org (a frigging LLC) is mother. We're your mediator, not Jesus ... follow us, obey us!!!! Do more! Tight pants and colorful socks are of satan. Referring to Christ as their brother but never their Lord, King, head, or husbandly owner? (Anyone can ignore a brother or sister)
Leaving the message of salvation for one of judgement????
I am quite afraid for my JW relatives as the GB and the psycho drunks in Writing seem off their lithium and about to go full moonbat.

Jws are in the matrix but reversed, sort of.
by Crazyguy ini thought of this lastnight in light of these new assembly videos.
we have all seen posts about the comparison with the movie matrix but i think it's in reverse, here's what i mean.
the jw is in the matrix and yes are the batteries for the machine but instead of thier minds being all fun and happy and life being normal they are the ones being chased by the machines living in zion and thinking thier going to die at any moment.

Honestly, they'll get out of that mess as the oldz who know die off. I mean really, if you knew the outright crazy crap (even in terms of 1800's crazy) they were teaching back then, there's no way Jesus would pick them to even scoop dog poo.
Really, the steam engine was the Biblical leviathan???? A good bit of the thought at that time was batshit crazy. Whatever "spirit" was directing that I seriously doubt it's the right one.

That's going straight into the trash can as soon as the 19 y old on the desk gets to paragraph 2.
Paul's letters would have gone into the trash, as shall yours. It's not that kind of place .... you're dealing with people who think they are infallible.
If they don't listen to Jesus, they will not listen to you.

Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?
by OnTheWayOut ini don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.
they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.
but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

I hope they don't do another false prophesy. I don't have time for a psychotic mother who has already wasted a good portion of her adulthood chasing the drunken dreams of deluded men.

"Bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk"
by oppostate inthis was news to me, it's from a year and a half ago,.
from joe emerson at http://www.christianwitnesses.com.
bethelites told they weren’t doing enough, hadn’t reached their potential so about half of them walked out of the talk; efforts made to get names of those who walked out but didn’t get them all.

Hmmm, may require some verification but it doesn't sound too far off base.
A post from last year which includes:
1. Tv, video equipment being sent to Fla. where we now know a segment of Brooklyn Bethel is being relocated. Which department is that again?
2. Wayward Bethelites. .... OBEY!!!! OBEY!!! OBEY & LOYALTY!
3. Don't know about sick people but I do know the US military is busy setting something up in the DR. Guy should be able to find decent care or simply pop over to PR.
