  2. medical

  i haven't posted on here for years.

  i also don't frequent this forum like i used to.. i have posted my story before, like 8 years ago.

  i have been a baptized witness for the last 30+ years, but have not attended meetings in the last 15 years.

  Medical treatment is confidential, so definitely don't bring it up. And if they ask find a nice way of telling them you are not going to violate that confidence.

  In that video you have the testimony of a woman who claims to have been molested by Jaracz. She was very emotional and sounded completely believable to me.

  And you have Jaracz being questioned at a convention. He was asked a simple, clear question which should have gotten a simple, clear answer, but he went off on a tangent and totally ignored the question. That makes him look suspicious to me.

  Naturally the higher ups at Watchtower, who are/were aware, will not acknowledge that it happened. The testimony of the victim, plus Barbara Andersen's knowledge from when she worked at Watchtower, tends to make me think it happened.

  So Watchtower appointed a known, convicted child molester to be an elder, then that man molested again. Wow, talk about creating liability for yourself.

  Whether Watchtower people knew about his past is unclear, but it seems that the groundwork for another MAJOR civil suit is there, if it hasn't already started.

  Armageddon is just beginning

  do you want to know what is really behind the fake coronavirus pandemic, so-called vaccines and the war in ukraine?

  to understand current events, you must first learn the history.

  the world's biggest secret is that there have been tremendous global disasters in the past that decimated populations and caused the collapse of empires.

  "Unfortunately, the next such catastrophe will occur in 2023-2025"

  We are almost half way through that time period now.

  Just curious, what will you say if 2025 comes and goes and nothing that you describe has happened?

  Jeffrey Jackson: Too much excitement got in the way for the ''false dates''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  annual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.

  here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.

  he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

  'DO YOU SHOOT THE DOG', for barking when there is nothing there?

  Wrong question. The right question is 'Do you leave a religion when it lies to you?'

  How many times has Watchtower said words to the effect that you should only support the 'TRUTH,' and 'LEAVE FALSE RELIGION'?

  "At first she did not partake but was told by the CO that she should partake for the reason above, She continued to partake until her death years later."

  I remember an article, either from the Watchtower or Awake, that explained the same thing - if an anointed person leaves the Organization or is DF'd, then returns later, that person is still anointed.

  Hawaii- Victim Abused by JW Elder Awarded $40 Million

  'elders do not discourage victims or their families from reporting abuse to the police.' - it wasn't always that way, that's only recent!

  And I wonder if those words are sincere, representing a genuine change, or if they are simply meant to mislead the general public. Even though Watchtower reps say words like that, elders can still have their tricks to discourage it in private, such as saying "you wouldn't want to bring reproach on Jehovah's name, would you" - what is said behind closed doors in a Kingdom Hall is often different from what Watchtower and the elders say publicly.

  I suppose time will tell but I am doubtful.

  These judgments seem to keep getting bigger and bigger. It couldn't be happening to a more deserving organization.

  I hope the $40 million holds up, or at least a big chunk of it, on appeal.

  A New List of the J Versions and Where to Find them

  by pizzahut2023 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi!i am doing a very long and exhaustive study of the "j" versions, based off the new study edition of the new world translation:https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/appendix-c/divine-name-new-testament-2/.

  this list has about 300 sources, mostly bibles, that the jehovah's witnesses have used to "justify" their insertion of "jehovah" into the new testament.i am doing an excel spreadsheet of where to find digitized copies of these j versions and then some notes on them.. they contain some really interesting renderings, some that would make a jehovah's witness's head spin!for example, in j29:the original aramaic new testament in plain english (an american translation of the aramaic new testament), by glenn david bauscher, seventh edition, australia, 2012which you can find here:.

  http://buffaloriverforge.com/peshitta/nt%20peshitta%207th%20ed%20plain%20text%20unnoted.pdfin luke 2:11 it says:.

  "Jehovah himself was born??"

  Nice catch. JWs believe that Jehovah had no beginning.

  Plus, saying that Jehovah is the Messiah tends to support the Trinity belief, since Jesus was the Messiah. The problem is that JWs clearly believe that Jehovah and Jesus are two different individuals.

  They (the GB) should have left that one off the list of 'J Versions', since it raises a bigger problem than it solves, and as a result tends to shoot them in the foot.
