we all know that jws consider the wt religion to be "the truth" and refer to it as such.. granted, that phrase is used repeatedly in the literature and from the platform.. but it's obvious that much of what the organization used to require jws to teach house-to-house as important truths--even within our own lifetimes--has been abandoned.

it's been replaced by "new light" and "refined understanding.

what's meant by "the 1914 generation" is a prime example.. in fact, i think it would be hard to find another religion that has changed so many of its teachings, especially in such a short period of time.. so why do jws still believe their religion to be "the truth"?.

And of course if the R&F say it often enough, in time the habit becomes their reality.

i find this an odd picture ; wouldn’t a caring parent take her to the Children’s books section of the store, like why is she made to wait around in the adult or reference section?

I thought this was a thread about a certain John Cedars/Lloyd Evans, not for ‘canceling’ anybody else.

I think it may have been nearly twenty years ago, but I wrote a post here about “The Great Rejection Feast” where I described what ‘the Memorial TM’ represents.

For a Christian, nothing can be more sacriligious than what the Dubs invite people to, to actually distribute the bread and the wine and reject it

Does that make it a Satanic ritual?

Secret Building Project?

by Mum in

jw
friends

i watch a lot of ex-jw videos on youtube and read many of the comments.

recently, i watched a video by an ex-jw whose videos i had never watched before.

i don't remember his handle.. anyway, there was only one comment posted at the time i watched the video.

Not what I would expect but willing to be informed.

in the meantime, I’d be sceptical of unsubstantiated claims.

114,000, Literal, or Symbolic?

by Wonderment in

a poster wrote to me privately, and brought to my attention the following comment below i made a while back in regards to the 144,00 number of revelation.

i had casually conjectured that this number was likely symbolic in line with the book of revelation being mostly symbolic in kind.

he brought up this juicy source:.

Unless it tells you otherwise, ALL of the bible is literal

Rubbish ! I suggest some entry into bible/ theological colleges is called for before making such rash assertions.
