one of the recent threads on the talk about the hailstone message got me to thinking.
the problem with putting out a message like that is what to do when nothing happens.
i have to think that somebody will be asking that question.
I was about start a thread on this exact topic and thought I'd better check first to see if it has been covered.(It has) :).
I was thinking if they ever pull the trigger on this, there is no going back, although a lot of JW's would preach this for decades if they were required to do so.
The comments by Stephen Lett concerning 'the last of the last of the last days' havent aged well, considering he was trying to capitialise on the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, however, in the meantime, things have pretty much returned to normal.
If there was a particularly tense moment in world history and they declared a message of doom, how long will it be before even the most hardcore JW's see through it once things return to normal?
This threat is kind of like an ace up the sleeve of the GB.
since health insurance doesn’t pay for prp injections, i am skeptical about it’s efficacy.
obviously if this treatment was necessary, it would be paid by health insurance.
don’t know much about prp except that the physician extracts blood from the patient and concentrates the platelets from the blood then injects the medicine into the affected site in the body to speed up healing of a torn ligament for example.. i saw an interesting statement in wt online site saying or implying that sub major components might be a personal decision and also using one’s own blood may be a personal decision, if i understood the information correctly..
Ive had one and I believed it helped. It was a joint problem. I was skeptical at first too.
fourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.
my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.
the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.
Ive witnessed simliar disgusting behaviour of elders overstepping personal boundaries regarding funerals.
No one has any business defining the relationship you had with the deceased. Its between you and them.
the jw org has removed certain verses from their nwt version, claiming usually that what is removed is not found in the oldest mss, that claim is fair enough, until you ask a simple question, this :.
" if you are going to remove interpolations from the bible, where do you stop?"..
the org.
Gods holy, sacred book, apparently dictated to faithful servants. As the WT says:
Most Bible writers acknowledged that they wrote in the name of Jehovah, the one true God, and that they were guided by him. Prophets who wrote the Hebrew Scriptures proclaimed more than 300 times: “This is what Jehovah has said.” (Amos 1:3; Micah 2:3; Nahum 1:12) Other writers received God’s message through angels.—Zechariah 1:7, 9.
The Bible was written by some 40 men over the course of 1,600 years. Some men were used to write more than one book of the Bible. In fact, the Bible is a miniature library of 66 books. It consists of the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures, called by many the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures, often called the New Testament.
If it is so trustworthy, why does the WT feel the need to change anything?
"raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.
sounded good.. what is the reality?
how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.
I remember a visiting elders talk one Sunday, he was talking about the dangers of higher education and putting people off going to university. Yet, he was a university educated architect.
I really resented his talk because I had woken up by then and was severely regretting the choices made for me by my parents concerning my own education.
I don't know how he could look young people in the eye and actively derail their futures.
jws often try to justify their religion as being the only true religion.
questions like.
which other organization is doing this or that?
JW's expect people at the doors to challenge everything they have ever learned and believe in, based on a discussion at the door using jw literature. They expect people to turn their backs on everything they hold dear.
Yet, they are not willing to answer the most reasonable and justified questions about their own faith, and will shun you for doubting.
mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.
at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.
single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.

Spoke to my JW dad yesterday- he didnt even know TM3 was gone.
this book was published around 1990, but was never studied (to my knowledge).
does anyone know the reason why?.
I dont believe we studied it.
I remember thinking some JW's might find other religions interesting if they studied the book.
