  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  The next "new light" will be that most the people killed at Armageddon will be resurrected. I was all a big joke and Jehovah will give almost everybody a second chance.

  That would test their humility.

  I think your story says it all. The truth about the truth.

  The bodies are piling up in god's loving organization.

  Watchtower Nov 3 2018 All about God and his feelings

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a subject that the wt has covered many times.

  it uses the example of human feelings as a basis to understand god.. for instance: under the heading "does god notice you?

  ", it goes into great detail of about what a woman feels when she bonds with her child.

  Yes we are god's children and I would consider everyone on the planet god's children.

  So since god's children have acted poorly (according to the Jehovah' Witnesses that is) god is getting ready to destroy billions of his children. Basically 99.99% of everyone living on the planet.

  This really doesn't sound like an all powerful god but a sick psychotic parent.

  Dating another Woke exJW or no?

  by caves in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i find that the people here speak in a way i can understand because we have one thing in common if nothing else.

  so my question is , would it be easier to date someone that has been a jw and woke up or not?.

  i would love for someone to 'get it' without having to explain much.

  It's nice but not essential I have dated quit a bit since leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses over the 17 years, I had two long term relationships in that time period (one was 3 and one 4 years long) neither women knew anything about the Jehovah Witnesses. One of them was raised as a Mormon but not practicing. That was interesting.

  I'm currently "dating" a born in ex-JW woman I knew forty years ago. She left way back in the nineteen eighties. We get a long very well.

  I guess love is were you find it. So finding an Ex-JW could be nice it's not imperative.

  Keeping Track Of The Brothers During The Great Tribulation

  i couldn’t help but watch the “bunker video “again.

  i learned that once they are in the bunkers they will need to get the attendance numbers from the different groups that are in hiding during the “great tribulation.” chris and wife risked their lives going to the different groups and getting the numbers and putting them on slip of paper which he then handed to brother brown.

  of course these numbers would have to be kept track of so they could make a full report back to the headquarters.

  In the video brother Brown says. "How is everyone doing out there?" Chris (the pioneer) says. Everyone is fine, people are learning to do without..." Then Chris has a slight smile on his face as he says. "For many this is the first time they have had to do that."

  Yes the pioneers know about sacrifice and now are quit happy to see those rich fat publishers suffering a little bit too.

  Then the video shows Chris and his pioneer wife seating in their nice big house. At this point in time they realize that they haven't given up enough to serve Jehovah so they sell their home and move into a small apartment so they wouldn't feel so guilty. They should have mentioned that they did this because they followed their parents example who sold their nice big house right before 1975 to serve where the "need is greater" also.

  However I'm surprised the brothers missed an opportunity showing how the couple took the proceeds from their home and donated them to the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society. So they could now have a clean conscious, knowing they have given their all to their god.

  Remember the Hitler bunker Jehovah's Witness video? It would be nice if someone did a voice over on this video too.

  Wouldn't be funny if at the end of the video Brother Brown has a letter to be read from the governing body.

  The letter would say something like this.

  "The faithful and discreet slave has determined that since everyone who has been faithful has a resurrection hope the best way to get through the great tribulation is to drink this cool-aid....cheers"

  What only 14 in group three? What happen to the Jones? Well Brother Brown it seems that Kevin got hungry and went out for some pizza.” Remember Kevin he was the guy at the KH in the video they said "He already has his paradise and actually took a weekend shift at his job.” So because of that they didn’t tell Kevin about the secret door knock. I sure they were shunning poor Kevin long before they were hiding in their bunkers.

  Yes they really do care about people.

  I talked to a friend of mine who told me about her stanch Jehovah Witness mother who had been in the organization for over fifty years.

  She spent the last eight years of her life in a nursing home. Guess how times the Witnesses came by to see her before she died?

  Why can JW's attend funerals or weddings in a church?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is the reasoning/policy behind the practice that a jw can't attend an event such as funeral or wedding in another church?

  i know of someone that didn't attend her older sisters funeral because it was held in a baptist church.

  she waited outside until the service was over and then went to the family dinner afterwards.

  My Nazis Jehovah's Witness mother prevented my father from going to his own father's funeral, a man he loved more then anything. The reason was the funeral was in a Catholic church.

  I couldn't go to my own non-Jehovah Witness father's funeral (Which was not in any church) because my Nazis Jehovah Witness Sister didn't bother to inform me of his death. She didn't want to see (me) her Dis-associated brother there so I never got the phone call.

  So I guess my father and me got the same punishment because of our association with the loving organization know as the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  "By their love you will recognize them".......isn't that the truth!

  Sadly this is a place many here have been before you. I wish I could tell you things get easier as time goes by but unless a miracle happens this gap will only grow with time. Than a day may come when you look at each other and you both realize you have no idea who this person is that you been married too for many years.

  Or maybe she will like yourself will wake up and there will be a happy ending.

  Good luck either way.
