"can the ethiopian change his skin?
", feb. 15, 1904 watch tower.
we answer, no.
So, maybe white people could turn black, too. What about Asians and Native Americans? Their existence is not even acknowledged. Hispanics are already considered white? If God picks a race for everyone to turn into, I am amazed that he would choose the white one.
I just have no words for the talking snake story.
this is one of the many charts on my jw lib analytics.. i have also attached the top 500 scriptures from 1950-2022. https://comingoutamycage.github.io/jw_lib_analytics/viewwordsperyear.html?publication=watchtower&normal=1.

So, when there are doctrinal changes, there won't be anything in print to prove it.
quite effective and enjoyable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijzvt_jptx8&t=1306s.
Thank you. I have watched many ex-JW videos, including many by Kristy Ann, but I had never seen this one.
can a witness date and court a jw student if he intends to get baptized?

As long as you can keep it a secret, anything goes. I personally know a young woman of the Orthodox faith who has an "illegitimate" child fathered by a JW. Did he marry her? No. She is rearing the child as a single parent. Apparently, none of the local JW's know about the "relationship." What a bunch of hypocrites!
just saw this ..... https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/uzfp4q/what_in_the_hell/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.
Wow! I got a glimpse of my former self - euphoric on a delusion. The idealist in me loved seeing the international flavor of the graduation and made me wonder if JW's in other countries are having the problems of JW's in the west. The "music" was horrible; it reminded me of the comments made in Gary Botting's "The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses" about the "barking rhythm" the JW "songs" have. My heart goes out to these lovely people who have been deceived by the governing body ogres and slick Madison Avenue tactics of the Watchtower. The Thai children were just adorable!
this is the story of michael.
a 4th generation jw.
elder, husband, father with relational ties to marley cole.. pimo, stepped down as elder, and the body went after him tooth and nail.
The problem is that good little witnesses set a trap for themselves. They only marry witnesses; they brainwash their children; they don't even create an "escape hatch" for unforeseen occurrences. No one knows for sure what was happening in Michael's personal life to lead to such despair and hopelessness. I read that the elders were harassing him and encouraging his wife to divorce him. It got to be more than the poor man could bear. What a tragedy!
from jw org news alert:.
breaking news | resuming public witnessing.
on may 31, 2022, the governing body informed all branch committees that they may now resume all forms of public witnessing with the exception of the door-to-door ministry.
There was a time when people, mostly women, were at home. This partly accounts for the oversupply of female JW's. These days, people are at work, dining out, participating in "extracurricular" activities. The door-to-door method is antiquated at best. Maybe JW's need to be more like the churches in trying to make converts, with old-fashioned ice cream socials and the like.
my nephew called me sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk.
he gave me the zoom i.d.. and password for his congregations in-person tuesday night meeting.. i haven't been to any meetings in nine years.
many things have changed.
Brainwash them while they're still young and think you know everything! Don't teach them critical thinking, but how to be a good drone. Never mind great poetry, great prose, great books, great music, learning in general. The important thing is bare survival and regurgitation of fantasy beliefs.
the watchtower teaches that the demons are the angels that came down here on earth right before the flood but research shows otherwise in this video i consider the identity of demons.if you never looked in this subject you will find this interesting ,let me know what you think.

The demons are the leftover figments of the imagination of ancient, ignorant people who had no explanation for disease, bad behavior or unexplainable occurrences. They give an easy explanation of things we can't understand.
i need a new religion.
it can't be trinidadian and it must be a christian church.
it's been a while since i've been to the hall (and i'm not interested in returning either) and i need a new religion.
Start your own religion. I understand it can lead to great wealth.
