  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  I believe Tony is doing just fine.

  MCallum Single Malt Scotch Whiskey now comes stored in Sherry Oak Casks which give it a fantastic undertone which blends well with Scotch.

  
  

  On second thought, It might not be a bad idea for him to check those liver enzymns.

  for the first time in ages.. a very elegantly dressed senior lady and a young chap.

  but--it wasnt just having a leaflet thrust at me--it was a full blown "old style" presentation.

  i stopped her going to far into it--by asking if they are jws--and told them i was an apostate.

  Apostates are just not as scary as they used to be in the old days.

  jehovah’s witnesses fail to get state recognition in lithuania.

  news2024.06.06 13:46. lithuanian lawmakers on thursday denied state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah’s witnesses religious community.. in total, 88 mps voted against granting jehovah’s witnesses state recognition, two were in favour, and three abstained.. according to the seimas, this community does not comply with the lithuanian constitution and its requirement that religious teachings and rituals be in accordance with the law and integrity.. the resolution says that the religious teaching of jehovah’s witnesses prohibiting blood transfusions is incompatible with the constitutional right to life of a human being and the right to state-guaranteed medical aid.. it also says that the community’s teaching prohibiting participation in the defence of the state with weapons or contribution to the defence of the state by non-military means encourages non-compliance with the constitution and its requirements to defend the state against a foreign armed attack.. read more: https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2290924/jehovah-s-witnesses-fail-to-get-state-recognition-in-lithuania#:~:text=lithuanian%20lawmakers%20on%20thursday%20denied,in%20favour%2c%20and%20three%20abstained.

  It's a fulfillment of bible prophecy! The Water$ of Babylon are drying up. Sometimes people are just so gullible that the State has to step in and provide a little leadership here. We'll see if this catches on. I believe it will.

  Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...

  by dolphman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

  all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

  not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

  • What does Charles Russell have to do with Jehovah's Witnesses?

    He was THE FOUNDER OF MOST OF THE HERESIES, including the two-salvation system - one free salvation with the new covenant, and one without it, not free - you have to work for it. .

  Thanks Walter.

  A couple of notes:

  1. The Jews were already in a covenant to remove their sins by the blood of bulls and goats. So that doesn't apply to us. Jesus was demonstrating his authority to forgive sins as God and it was triggered by the faith (belief) of the man's friends.

  2. The New Covenant had not been offered yet. This agreement holds the blood value of Jesus death. It allows us to trade places with Jesus. He dies in our place as a substitutionary atonement, and we gain a perfect sin debt record.

  he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. - 2 Cor. 5: 21

  For JW's - Is there ever a legitimate reason to criticize?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a jw quote this scripture to me recently: “study to show yourself approved” - great scripture.

  but when we point out that former wt leaders didn’t study and were high school drop outs (ct russell only made it to the 7th grade) franz was a college drop out with only 2 hrs.

  in koine greek, we always get the same answer - the apostles weren’t educated men either.

  And when Christians point out flip flops in doctines like the organ transplant policy that unnecessarily took lives, JW’s point to a scripture that predicts Christians would be hated.

  However, criminals are also many times undereducated and unpopular for similar crimes.

  So, if JW’s act like jackasses and are unpopular for it, do you think that is a fulfillment of bible prophecy? In other words, is there ever a way to reasonbly criticize JW’s without it being spun by members as fullfillment of bible prophecy?

  How Much Damage Would You Assess?

  just as there is no such thing as a christian who worships satan, there is no such thing as a christian outside of the new covenant “for the forgiveness of sins”.

  and he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

  Good points Vidqun.
  
  I believe "condemned" is a better word choice because Hebrews 9: 27 says we we all be judged.

  But, the verses you point out show that believers are not condemned. Belivers have gotten themselves in agreemment with God and were judged (condemned) along with Jesus at Calvary. Because we "died" with Christ we are also resurrected with him.

  Col. 2 - In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which also you were raised with Him through the faith of the power of God

  But now the thousand million dollar question: Where does that leave the majority of spectator JWs?

  Vidqun,

  JW's make a choice on whom to believe, just like everyone else does. Jesus offers a deal for the forgiveness of sins to "whosoever"; and Watchtower tells people the opposite - he wasn't talking to you.
  
  The choice before people is really that simple. Whom we believe determines whether we escape the condemnation we were born into; or admitted as a son or daughter into God's royal family.
  
  

  John 3:18 Modern English Version

  He who believes... Him is not condemned. But he who does not believe [Him] is condemned already, because he has not believed... the only begotten Son of God.
