where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.
it's been around as long as i can remember.
is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?
The Truth book broke publication records at the time. It was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for highest printings. By 1992 it had been published in 117 languages and reached 107,553,888 copies,
AI Overview told me all that, which came from Wikipedia, Just search under Jehovah's Witnesses publications.
it is with profound humility and reverence that i share a message of great significance.
in the year 2001, my son and i witnessed the birth of the kingdom of god, experiencing spiritual battles that affirm our divine calling.
as prophesied in the scriptures, my son is the elijah to come, the forerunner to jesus' second coming.. living in the wilderness by his own choosing, my son embodies the spirit and mission of elijah, preparing the way for the lord.
If your son is the real deal then tell me the big part I'm supposed to play. If you know I will take the red pill with you.
hi to all, i have been away from the organization since the 1980's and as it seems, i haven't missed a thing.
i have seen a deterioration take place that is continually getting more dramatic than i have ever seen.
the thumbing down or the minimizing of spiritual food is reason enough that people are starving for something good.
Please describe what you read in the letter that shouldn't be present in Daniel chapter 11. I'm curious because I still attend but have doubts.
Did you know in 1964 they believed the original serpent had limbs. Then the new leadership in 2007 decided the old leadership was wrong and said it didn't. They were in Watchtower articles in the "Questions from Readers" section. There's actually pictures of it with limbs in the book, "New Heavens and a New Earth" published in 1953, page 81.
If there was time machine and the old leaders came to greet the new leaders the new ones would be disfellowshipped in a heartbeat due to all the changes they made.
in the org's vocabulary, the term "independent thinking" is applied pejoratively to any jw who thinks & reasons for themselves.
the org's lawyer knew exactly what he was doing in court when he voiced his carefully prepared words:.
"watchtowers lawyer anders ryssdal compares jehovah’s witnesses’ baptism to the norwegian state church’s confirmation of 15-year-olds, arguing that their baptism is no different.
Just remember, it's not just the parent's fault it's also the three elders that interview the baptismal candidate. Those three elders decide if the person is qualified and understands what they are getting into with the baptism. The organization trains those elders. They do not think independently. They think as one mind with the organization. The fault lies with those in Warwick, NY USA.
having watched the latest offering from beroean pickets - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpuelgtf4ka - i contributed the following factual information along with several consolidating scriptures:.
"naos - metaphorically the spiritual temple consisting of the saints of all ages joined together by and in christ,
of a company of christians, a christian church, as dwelt in by the spirit of god.
It sounds like Eric Wilson does not want to be preached to in the comments section. Apparently he is the only one allowed to preach on his Youtube channel.
Don't forget he's still a JW at heart. Maybe you are branded as a "voice of strangers" which was drilled into him when he was an elder. He only wants praise directed at him in the comments section.
that aged well lol.
since then 4 younger gb members appointed.
They're making it up as they go along. Also, they were not divinely appointed to be God's representative in this day and age. A true appointment would be likened to a Damascus road event with Paul. To my recollection no one in the Bible Students or JW's had a direct conversation with Jesus on a special appointment. Everything that comes out of the mouth of "those that take the lead" should be taken with a grain of salt. Every time they promote a prediction that never comes to pass the whole organization is guilty of presumptuousness. King Saul fell into the sin of presumptuousness after he refused to follow the command of God, Never again would God deal with Saul and from then on everything Saul did seemed nutty. The guy did not know right from wrong and everything was against him. The Witnesses fell into this trap when they assumed they were speaking for God.
i haven’t read it but just browsing say jehovah’s witnesses mentioned a lot.. there are pictures of his congregations he was brought up in.
and his father looks like an elder years ago when luke was young, but i could be wrong.. later on there are pictures of his father was one of the extras in the hobbit as luke had a lead role.
could his father still be an elder and be in movies.

His father was a Laketowner in the Desolation of Smaug, Hobbit trilogy. It's hard to recognize him because of the large fake beard he wore in the film.

when jehovah’s witnesses dedicate their kingdom halls, they often refer to the example of solomon dedicating the temple in jerusalem.
it’s a solemn moment.
It's a double standard if they sell the Kingdom Halls to Christendom, Judaism or Islam. They preach in their magazines that the friends must not have interfaith but selling these buildings to them is the same thing. They should tear the building down if they don't want to support Babylon the Great. That would make a statement about their absolute integrity. The building is God's not theirs after the dedication ceremony. He'd want it torn down.

Mohammed is the most popular baby name in Britain too. Jehovah has lost to Baal in Britain. Islam uses fear of death to keep its members. Where do I sign up?
here is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.
my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.
i had actually become a circuit overseer!
