  More than I expected. Back to pre-Covid level, I'd say, without knowing the exact numbers.

  "JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????

  by BoogerMan in

  the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.

  (matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

  (luke 24:47, 48) .

  Strange, Interesting Day

  i have worked for over 25 years now in a day habilitation program for persons with physical and mental diabilities.

  in recent years this has often involved assisting them in doing community volunteer work, as in our state, persons receiving services are required to have a 'job' of some sort.

  as a result, we have worked in catholic and salvation army food pantries, animal shelters, libraries, a nature center, a vietnam war veterans museum and delivered meals on wheels.

  I don't usually agree with the supposedly subliminal images, being willing to give the benefit of the doubt and ascribe it to sloppy artistry and printing methods. But this one is blatantly obvious. I would say some mischievous person in the art department drew it and nobody noticed at the time.

  What is the current Watchtower "rent charge per publisher" for Kingdom Halls in the USA???

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was following a few threads in reddit from current pimo jws complaining about local announcements regarding halls being short on their per publisher "rent payments".

  third gen and i have been out pomo for a while...so how much is this charge now?

  could this be part of the recent push to get people to "come back" or get re-instated...if it even is online and 15 minutes of service per month?

  a fake.

  i think i may be moving on shortly.

  i officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as pimo about to exit the organisation.

  i had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member.

  New GB member Judy Jedele critizing Job's "humility" while wearing $20,000 Rolex, gold cuff links, coloured suit. Incredible!

  i swear, you can't make this shit up!

  for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.

  " of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

  Wow Vhoven,

  How Malefant can make those statements and not see the contradictions is beyond me. Families don't talk to each other because of... 'WT policies of disfellowshipping' is what he should say.

  When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...

  by Ron.W. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.

  it's been around as long as i can remember.

  is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

  I seem to recall that Ray Franz addressed this question in one of his books. I think he said that it came from the Russell-era's interpretation of 'present truth' which was specific wording in a Bible verse from the King James. 'Stand fast in present truth'.
