the watchtower society always attempts to disprove or discredit valid arguments or statements by criticizing the ability of individuals to think, reason, ask tough questions and make their own decisions!
if they can't logically attack the message, they attack the messenger!!
the name calling of apostates or anyone who doesn't agree with all the wtbts flip-flops ( the light gets brighter) never stops!
The great thing about the internet is that all this information is a click away. For someone to stay in the truth, they must actively avoid TTATT. Even search words like Jehovahs Witnesses will lead to a path of destruction.
It is getting harder and harder to avoid what is true. But make no mistake, there will always be die-hard witnesses.
happy winter solstice to all!
.
the solstice this year will be extra special because it will be followed the next day by a full moon known as the cold moon, and depending on your location, you might be able to see the ursid meteor shower to boot.. enjoy!
Merry Christmas!
i shared one of these before in which my approach left something to be desired, and i got some flack for that, and rightly so.
so if this story doesn't go over well i won't share another... but given how it ended, i just had to share.... a few days ago i took a trip to a nearby city by bus.
in the about 20-30 minute window between my connecting buses i walked over to a mcdonald's and got a cup of coffee, and when i came back to the little bus station i saw a literature cart sitting unmanned near the doors.
I appreciate the experience. However, what a waste of time.
You should have wished them a Merry Christmas and moved on with your life.
if i was an author of a book i think i would be over the moon if i was guaranteed a sale of around 5 million or more books for my work.. the jehovah`s witnesses have over 8 million members plus relatives that are fringe dwellers who come to the memorial once a year ,.
so what a gold mine they have been sitting on as a publishing house .. why didn`t they keep publishing books for the faithful ,they could have even upped the price , and the faithful would have paid especially in prosperous country`s in the west.. they could have milked this venture for years to come as the faithful would have bought anything they would have published .. and their prophets (profits) would have soared ,literally and figuratively for many more years to come ..
The GB has a winfall of $2 billion from the sale of the Brooklyn Heights property - which has nothing to do with their business expertise. How they manage this, time will tell.
Which reminds me of an old joke. How do you make a million dollars? Start with a billion.

The profile: This song is 100% true as I have been a disfellowshipped Jehovah Witness for almost 25 years now. My Mom has never met my wife or her grandkid as the entire religion is still shunning me for having a sexual experience with an unmarried woman more than two decades ago in my late teenage / early adult years!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2226652490738312&set=a.106546726082243&type=3&theater this was posted on fb by a witness who l am " friends " with .
she has since posted another jw propaganda piece .
these look like they are from the wt and are official evangelising tools .
Posting on Facebook is a great way to count time and return visits.
i can't say much out of fear of getting caught, but i overheard a jw i know on the phone with a friend talking about "how close we are to the end.
" yeah, yeah, i know.
we've been on the brink of armageddon for well over a century, but what struck me about this particular instance was what she said next.
Does anyone here recall attending talks of a similar nature in years or decades past, where the belief was that the Great Tribulation was finally imminent?
Growing up in the Wt cult from the 1960s, I recall every event supporting the belief that the end was imminent. It was quite exhausting.
i left wt, 18 years ago.
never thought that i would have witness such a massive doctrinal and structure changes as well.
i find it hard to recognize that religion.. what i can tell, like all of ex jw's is that wt going down.. their corporate directors know it.
It is all about definitions.
We may have a definition of a bible study and bible studies are down, simply change the definition:
So if a rank & file JW makes a 5 minute long front door step return visit...it now is worthy of being called a Bible Study
Losing pioneers, simply change the hour qualifications. What is it now?
Publishers are down, call anyone who puts in 15 minutes a publisher.
You may call it fraud, the Wt is simply redefining what they measure.
i hear that a hall was burned down in washington state.
was shot at numerous times.
is the wbts that desperate to merge congo's and collect insurance money and now the land has no building on it the land can be sold with no demo expense.
The Washington Post had an article today about this
