  Who `d a Thought The GB would Listen to the United Nations And Stop Witnessing for Jehovah.?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  "we must obey god rather than men" act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the gb are obeying the united nations world health organization and shutting down all of their "witnessing" operations ,very effectively i might add.. instead of boldly proclaiming the kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying god rather than men they are now more in fear of what the superior authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.. this is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .. of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.. but the fact remains they are not trusting in jehovah to protect their members nor are they trusting in jehovah to keep the "worldwide preaching work" going.. what do you think ?.

  Just goes to show how much their rhetoric changes over the years evolves. They have not stressed door to door very much at all for years. It has all been about the carts. Since the beer sickness, of course, they stress letter writing (by hand, not typed or copied like the old BE book said to do, because you can waste more time), phone calls, texts, video conferencing, to do the 'ministry work'/recruitment. They will brag about how they continued preaching during this time, ignoring the fact that they dis-obeyed their misinterpretation of going door to door. Probably even telling stories about how it helped them see if the bible students were sincere or not, because that is their recent thing, again. I totally agree that the legal beagles, meaning they have a lot in common with a loyal dog, told wt to play it safe and don't create any waves. Don't look over here! We are following all the suggestions!!!

  Edit to say: they are telling people with regular territories to call them or write letters. IDK how they would get anyone's phone number. I remember a long time ago people in heavily worked areas were calling people in 'unassigned territory', I suppose that went away when everyone switched to mobile phones.

  What drives these doomsday predictions?

  "what drives these doomsday 'prophets'.

  many include wildly inaccurate readings of the book of revelation.

  often these pandemic prophets end their predictions with sign-offs such as "if you don't have a bible, buy one!.

  You can look at my posts to see what I think of The Watchtower. I think you need to stop making new posts about this same topic! It is all you do here since you joined 2 months ago. Just bump your old topics, unless you are trying to be deceitful... Hmmm reminds me of some people...

  They're all alone in their respective houses!

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you look into all the publications and predictions about the last days, the jws are always represented in groups in someone's house.

  this isn't happening right now.

  they are all told to stay in their individual homes and watch jwsteaming!.

  Sorry to disagree, but I know someone who got in trouble for giving access to JWStream. They want them all to call/video in so they know who did. Cults be culty.

  I agree that most are individually in their homes, however...

  The branch stresses that witnesses want to meet together (hypnotic suggestion?), and that will make some of them meet in each other's homes. The letters to elders and the video on jw.borg said nothing about social distancing (right?), and M.S. Lett says he is elbow touching to greet. That is not social distancing, and the sheeple will use it as an excuse to get closer. They will excuse it if it is around 10 people. They'll pack in like sardines in someone's living room to watch a video conference of a meeting.

  The older ones are the more DIE hards, and they are less likely to know how to use video conferencing. They will feel like they need to to make it through the big A, panic and go to a group feeling it is safe as per M.S.Lett's broadcast. Because, who can trust the news? I can trust the GB!

  Also, JW stream was overloaded because people stream and do not download, although enough downloading would overload it too I suppose.

  If they weren't a cult they would just put meetings up on YouTube. Don't get me started. Oops too late.

  If "Zoom" is All They Have Now.....

  by 1234 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  think of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.

  2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.

  3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....

  They use zoom individually with each hall, right? That's how I understand it. I think they are having a small group go to the hall and do the meeting live on zoom. Or, they are all in their homes and elder this gives his talk, then elder that gives his. So, you'd have to hit every hall or house, and that is wrong and illegal, and would kick up the persecution complex anyway.

  as sgt pepper sang, "it was 20 years ago today" ... that i made my first post on my first forum.. i obviously didn't put too much thought into what it should say although i must have burned 45 posts testing things and was too lazy to reset the counter before going live (?):.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/46/welcome.

  but somehow, it worked and grew and here we all are, 20 years on.

  Thank you Simon! I stay here and have never posted on Reddit because it feels much safer. I feel like you would tell them to piss off in legal terms if they gave you a subpoena. Plus, you don't let us post their little letters, only links.

  Anyway, thank you a lot.

  I'm pretty sure I landed here when looking for a video when I was PIMI. Wifibandit posted it; I was shocked at the comments on it! Then I saw Eric's secretly recorded judicial as a suggested video. I guess it got my curiosity because it wasn't apostate in my mind, just his judicial being made public. That did it... in a few months.

  Rumor of Religion wanting to contact Inactives

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw a post on reddit from somebody claiming to be an elder that the jw religion wants to contact all inactives.. some of the responses indicate that some were contacted or had close friends or relatives being asked for their contact information.

  some of these people have been out of the jw religion for many years and have moved on.

  the ones contacted said the jw informed them about cancelled meetings (as though they would care).

  An elder even mentioned helping in-actives at mtg today, sort of in context of recent events, Hypes people up like, OMG if they are doing that we must really be near the end!

  No, if wt does something in their interest, it does not mean we are near the big A.
