JULY 15TH STUDY EDITION :"If ever that evil slave..." page 24

by raymond frantz in

box on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".

jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.

jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

I noticed the OP references the "overlapping generations" doctrine 9 years ago!

Just how old is this nonsense? Can't believe it's lasted so long.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

original reddit post (removed).

This is Evans moving away from exJW 'activism' to the atheist debating community where his nasty backstory is far less well known. That's where the stubborn 500+ patrons are from and where Evans sees any potential growth.

Maybe.

on my profile, under "update avatar", i click on "upload avatar image" and choose the picture i want, but it doesn't work.

i know it says there may be a slight delay but i've been waiting for more than 12 hours so i'm wondering if there's something wrong with the site, or if i'm missing something..

I'm liking the evil side of you 😂

Probably best to let this thread slide into oblivion but I'd be fascinated to know if you ever get that evidence.

Sorry to hear about the attacks Simon. I mean, the obvious can go unsaid but do you have any info you can safely share about where these attacks are coming from?

A Balkan country in central/southeast Europe maybe?

Does this look like the WT is going to be around a long time? One Watchtower @ One Awake for the public in 2022

by pistolpete in

i keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.

but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .

you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .

1995 was twenty seven years ago and that was a major turning point, perhaps the biggest in the Society's modern history.

I think it marked the point where doctrine was exposed as irrelevant to most Jehovah's Witnesses. Sure, some left but most just turned the page and carried on.

You'd have to be in your late 40's now to remember the long taught 1914 generation teaching that created the urgency we all remember.

jw.org is not the old Watchtower Society. They can discard any doctrine they like now, no-one cares.

I honestly believe that all of the flagship policies; blood, disfellowshipping & shunning and 1914 dogma are vulnerable. They could all disappear if the GB decide it serves their purpose.

Starruby, you joined up 40 minutes ago and this is your first post?

Anyone might wonder if you aren't really the man himself trying to create posts you can point at.

Hmm. Nah, couldn't be . .

Start of the Great Tribulation will be announced soon

by joey jojo in

at the 2021 annual meeting, samuel herd revealed new light and claimed the anointed will all have passed away before armageddon.

it has since been revealed that while they will die before armageddon, there will be some anointed still around that will witness the start of the great tribulation.. so the question is, how many years until the existing members of the governing body have passed away?.

im not a doctor, but based on their age and various stages of obesity, im thinking 10- 15 years- give or take, sounds about right.. with that in mind, the great tribulation could be announced any day.. the new understanding has now freed the org from the burden of having to identify a particular generation in relation to the date of armageddon.

As Simon said, the maths just doesn't work. I remember posting about this when I still thought it mattered; https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/14945/do-jws-still-believe-wt-version-144000

Oof! I was a different person then 🙄🤣

But honestly, I wish you a soft landing here and hope everyone gives you enough room to be yourself and get settled in.

Can you at least let us know if you're young? Middle aged? Senior?
