it’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.
this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.
i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.
If a JW is serious about their faith, it is extremely difficult to reconcile bringing children into this world.
Ive always wondered how any JW can preach about how sick the world is and how close to the end we are, and then proceed to increase the population with their own offspring.
things are moving right along.
“israel” has gone to war with iran.. who is fooled?.
this is uncle sam, same as in ukraine.. daniel layed out clearly the events of “d day” june 6, 1944 as the “ships of kittim” would sail against the king of the north.
Nuclear weapons would give Iran some leverage but I wonder if they would actually use them. I mean, the day they were launched is the day Iran would cease to exist.

Israel deliberately hits 26 Gazan hospitals and kills 600 and it's justified.
Iran hits 1 Israeli hospital with no deaths and Netanyahu calls it a war crime.

The U.N: 'Israel is accused of war crimes against Palestine'
Israel: 'The U.N is a swamp of anti-semitic bile'
Also the U.N: 'Iran has breached is nuclear obligations'
Israel : 'We will immediately bomb Iran'
This is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I know there are some delicate people here who will give predictable replies but try and relax for now.
do you have to be invited?
is there any way of listening in on the kh meeting?
it's been about 30 years since i have been to a kh and they would have a conference call of 4 people on the phone together because they were sick.
Surely someone here has zoom details they can share?

This tension is never going to end and it makes the world a much more dangerous place for everyone.
If Iran is determined to destroy Israel, then every few years, bombs will have to drop on Iran to set back their nuclear program. What happens in the mean time if the US stops sending aid to Israel? What if Russia just gives Iran a few nukes? If israel drops the ball just once - its over. This is fucking madness.
how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.
my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.
St George of England
If I walked away now I would lose far more that I would gain, family members, friends
It all comes down to this for a lot of JW's, especially born-ins.
Im sure a lot of people living in North Korea know they are living in a propaganda filled, bad fairy tale - even if its only at a sub-conscious level. But what do they lose by trying to escape? Nothing comes for free.
on friday, i walked to my doctor's to pick up a couple of prescriptions*.
from there i walked in to town to the chemist's (pharmacy) to get the scripts filled.
it's winter here, and my town can get get colder than is average for my state**.
i don't think it is possible to believe in jesus and then not believe what he said.
the purpose of the watchtower organization is to take as many people to hell as possible.
they do this by tricking people into rejecting the bare minimum requirements for the free gift of salvation that jesus offered to ”whosoever”.. one of the stipulations for salvation is belief that jesus was raised from the dead:.
Jesus elevated the status of women and children, who were often marginalized. He included women in his ministry, taught children as valuable members of the community, and challenged social norms regarding their treatment. This had a lasting impact on views of human dignity and rights.
And yet - slavery was all good.

I think because he didn't come to fix symptoms, He came to cure the disease.
Well - 2000 years later. What has changed exactly?
