i mentioned in my other thread that my mind wandered during the zoom meeting today.
this was my second observation.
note this exerpt on the rapture, from the july 15, 2015 wt and let's see what's wrong with it:.
I've heard a number of witnesses quietly complain about certain stupid doctrines that need to be changed due to glaring errors as you pointed out.
I have to stay in due to family ties. Sometimes it makes me so mad about the Borg mentality. They just parrot the drone queen-mother. They don't have individual spirituality of which they're supposed to have.
I'm just going stand idle like David and wait for Saul aka JW.org-Mother to be taken out at the right time.
this morning my wife made the comment ... "we'll probably experience famine next.".
i don't know that she'd come up with this on her own.
has anyone else heard a jw talking about this?.
If she thinks famine is supposed to happen next with the four horsemen of the apocalypse then when did the first two horses come?
Maybe they now think the first white horse is the corona virus. Here's my funny take trying to make something fit. The white horse represents the doctor lab coats. The crown on the guy is Corona, which means crown and the bow is the means for sending out the virus all over the world.
I think they still believe the first rider is Jesus.
I have no clue how the red horse, number 2, fits in all this. By the way, the third horse is black and that is associated with famine in revelation.
what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.
- economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.
- politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.
EU's push for Globalism just got whacked over the head with a big club after this COVID19 pandemic. Everyone is going back to Protectionism. The EU needs a miracle to save face and get a new and better image for their Global agenda.
why the jehovah's go full on the legal organ .
the jehovah's witnesses do not accept the results of scientific research under any circumstances.
they go to court again.
Eric Wilson's recent video talks about a similar matter. This is where the WT is telling all the members to avoid any broadcast that may imply fault with the organization on child abuse.

graceyou won’t find any in the new world translation!no no no.you only find “undeserved kindness.”(ask yourself why you don't deserve kindness.
?isn’t kindness basic decency?
?if you are one of jehovah’s witnesses you have a reason.jehovah’s witnesses are never on firm standing with their god.
You are right about that. The William sisters can do what ever they want and the elders turn a blind eye. If you bring in big money to the contribution boxes then you have approved WT grace.

Jehovah’s Witnesses are never on firm standing with their god.
The “gift” they offer to appease Jehovah is constant service, meeting attendance, counting the hours on a never-ending treadmill - because- He is a “what have you done for me lately?” kind of deity.
Contrarily, the “gift” Jehovah gives His Witnesses violates perfect standards.
What is so ironic about this statement of yours is that Janet Jackson, a former JW, made a top of the charts song titled, "What have you done for me lately?" back in 1986 which was from the Control album.

Then there's the song Control from the same album. Both these songs scream JW brainwashing which she experienced as child growing up the the kingdom hall.

Your discussion about Grace was very good. I know so many witnesses that feel they're not good enough. This is all due to the WT indoctrination.
Here's the music video if you want to see a blast from the past. Remember, she was on her way out when she put this music together.

The song is about a boyfriend but we know who it's really about.

the following is an extract from an article i wrote when i left the watchtower 25 years ago.
it may be helpful in reasoning with a jw about the anointed/great crowd distinction.. --------------------------------.
to divide people into those with a heavenly hope and those with an earthly one is not a biblical concept.
To divide people into those with a heavenly hope and those with an earthly one is not a Biblical concept. “There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell” (2 Pet.3:13)
Born again christians, born again heavens, born again earth. All a new creation.
What did the physical heavens and earth do wrong to require them being born again?
The life span reduction can explain that.
january one.
genesis one wt mental gymnastics.
gen 1:1 earth created in the beginning, ?
I always thought it strange that the creation epic was divided into 7 parts. Even in JW literature they say god left out the creation day of the microbe world and a number of other epics I forgot they mentioned.
The gospel of John writer does the same thing. He mentions only 7 miracles of Jesus but per the synoptic gospel writers there were many more than that.
Why only mention certain 7 details and not all of them? It sounds cryptic and confusing. One big problem with the creation account is that the sun was created after plant was already started. Maybe the first plant life was all mushrooms because they don't need sunlight.
