FragrantAddendum: you know a religious group is a fake if it signs up for corporate status to get out of paying taxes
All religious groups are fake, every last one of them. No matter how sincere or harmless, not one religious group favours truth over dogma.
From the home Bible study groups to Catholicism, religion is fake.
Don't flatter yourself just because you can easily spot fakery in the cult you've just left. Take the rafter out of your own eye first.

Personal beliefs do NOT equal facts or evidence. (I know some will disagree)

All else aside, I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. You, and of course your Mother, deserved so much better.

Is this just a metaphor or something more serious?
i noticed awhile ago jw.org was first; now jwn is back being first.
what determines that?.
Whichever one of us has the most powerful demons at the time.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
To receive the full state pension in the UK you need to have paid thirty years worth of National Insurance contributions (a specific, earnings related tax).
Whatever his payment record was before his move to Croatia, it will certainly have stalled since then and is unlikely to resume anytime soon.
Hope he's putting plenty into a private pension or he's screwed. Actually, that's good advice for everyone - full state pension or not.
the trinity doctrine says god is three persons in one being.. yet the bible says god is one.. gal 3.20 a mediator, however, implies more than one party; but god is one.
niv.
gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.
God, one person or three?
False dichotomy.
john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me.".
certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.
Read more widely. The bible is arguably the most influential book ever written and familiarity with it makes sense of so much poor behaviour on our part. Sexism, homophobia, slavery, not to mention wilful scientific ignorance have all been endorsed by that book.
May I recommend Straight and Crooked Thinking by R.H Thouless?
as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.
perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.
how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).
I don’t see any evidence of Kingdom Halls “emptying”. But the main reason I find the statement ironic is because churches truly are “emptying” at an astonishing rate.
It isn't a level playing field. Churches don't employ coercive control like the JW's do. If folks could leave the Kingdom Hall as freely as others leave the Church, without fear of ostracism, isolation or reputational damage, they would.

slimboyfat: People always makes [these] assertions on the forum, but I see no evidence for it. Kingdom Halls are pretty full.
How many Kingdom Halls are you visiting Slim'?
