What the Witnesses are actually saying, Jesus is in charge and he is to blame for this whole mess we find ourselves in.

Future occurrence. "And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever." (Rev. 11:15 NWT)

Jesus will govern for a thousand years, after Satan had been abyssed.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while.

4 And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. (Rev. 20:1-4 NWT)

Afterwards he gives the kingdom back to his Father.

For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet.

26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.

27 For [God] subjected all things under his feet. But when he says that all things have been subjected, it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him.

28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

(1 Cor. 15:25-28 NWT)

Elders are no longer teachers

back in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.

you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.

then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

Who remembers the movie "Those Magnifecent Men in their Flying Machines"? This reminds me of the part when a German training pilot was standing in the cockpit, reading the manual. "Step 1: Sit."

Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower

by Indoubtbigtime in

i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.

they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.

they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

Perhaps not complete demise, but what about a split in the middle? Here the culprit might be their stance on the so-called vaccines, compared to their stance on blood transusion. This might affect some of the older folk. And now it turns out that the gene therapy was not such a good idea. Will they admit they made a mistake? I don't think so. And that means they do not have a red telephone to heaven. The reasoning would be: Would God prescribe something detrimental to health?

Don't think the Witnesses will mind. They encourage young people not to have children. Suits their narrative.

Science News article: ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans

by Disillusioned JW in

a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .

the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.

this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.

Question is: Who pays Bill Nye's salary? Whatever, try and follow the logic. Is comparing earth to Venus a useful comparison?

Planetary CO2 concentrations

Venus: 96.5% of total gases.

Mars: 95% of total gases (Why is the mean temperature of Mars -60 degrees Celsius?)

Earth: 0.04% of total gases. On top of that, earth has green plants to help turn CO2 into carbon based products, O2 and H20 in a process called photosynthesis.

One of my lecturers had a favorite saying: "Think! It might be a new experience for you."

Reproof announcement wording.

by Jofi_Wofo in

hey, all.

i had an old memory pop into my head today about an oddly worded announcement made by an elder at a meeting back when i was a bible study.

i couldn't find anything in the wol nor on google about it, so i wondered if this was just some rogue one-off, or if this is the way things used to be announced.

They usually have a general talk in the same meeting about a particular sin or misstep, if I remember correctly.
