No more public WT & Awake?

by mikeflood in

have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.

The Org is getting more and more insulated. They realize they actually don't need any worldly people. Money comes from jdubs anyway. No magazines mean money saving. Give jdubs a track that points everybody to the website.

Eventually they will do away with preaching altogether. Perhaps limit it to standing in a street corner where nobody approaches. All new members are kids of existing cult members. They are moving towards a self contained club. Members pay a fee (donations), and they don't need anybody outside of the club.

Common sense on Jockland's gender Bill

by LoveUniHateExams in

nicola sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by pm rishi sunak.. under the rules of devolvement, the uk government can overrule holyrood if the pm so chooses.. lots of predictable howling form the scotch nuts, with ridiculous claims that rishi is trying to organise a fight with holyrood.

of course, it's actually the other way round - the snp has been trying to pass this gender bill in order to drive a wedge between scotland and the rest of the uk.. sensibly, rishi has pulled rank on sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.. nicola sturgeon needs to know her place ....

So... gender is just a label, like your name?

Yes it is.

This week in the US, a teenage girl complained about a transgender woman, which is to say a man, walking around a girls locker room naked, and she was properly shamed and chastised.

So, if a man exposes his genitals to young girls, he is likely arrested, and put on the sex offenders list. However if he does the same thing, and claims to be a woman, well then he is praised as a beacon of progressiveness.

Got it now?

How many preaching hours are real

by Hellothere in

how much of the preaching hours in yearly report you think are real?

they always have high numbers preaching hours.

probably increase every decade.

redvip2000

what is interesting is that the Org talks about field serve-us as "urgent" and "critical". But individual Jdubs don't act like that. Coffee, walking slow between homes, stopping at home, basically do everything you can do actually not talk to people at all.

Does anybody ever wonder why ?

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.

in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.

that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.

redvip2000

Well what would you say if you started working for a company 30 years ago, when they were using pen and paper for everything, and now as the world evolved into the digital world, your employer was still making you use pen and paper? Would they be worth of any admiration?

The creator of the entire universe, holder of all knowledge, as decided that in 2022 the best way to communicate with humans is to make them read a book written by goat herders thousands of years ago, filled with bronze age "wisdom", vague ethical rules, contradictions, and stories that conflict with science.

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one

by Mikejw in

here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.

it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

redvip2000

The discussion about vaccines shouldn't be about possible side effects. Of course every medication has side effects, some of them deadly for a few individuals.

The issue is the desperation to keep those side effects secret from the pharma companies with the help of the political e$tabli$hment, as well as the attempts at imposing vaccines on those that don't want it.

If you want to take the vaccine plus 10 boosters, be my guest. You accept the risk of any side effects, but on the other hand increase your resistance to the virus. Those that don't want it, take a higher risk of dying of the virus but avoid the risk fo side effects.

That is the only logical way of handling this. Freedom for all.

Mega Millions Jackpot…

by Biahi in

in the us, our mega millions lottery jackpot has reached over 1billion dollars!

what would you do if you won?

i think i’d run public service announcements on television, alerting people of the dangers of the wt cult, among other things.

redvip2000

One half he would spend on booze, cars and loose women.
The other half he would just fritter away.

I think George Best say that.

My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

by Sea Breeze in

a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

redvip2000

The big bang is just a theory, the best current explanation for the existence of the universe

Even if that theory is shown to be without merit, that doesn't automatically mean that your theory that it was magic is real either.

Just like the scientists, you are going to have to show your evidence that a grand wizard pulled the universe out of a hat.

JW "new light" immediately reversed/contradicted

by BoogerMan in

september 2022 study watchtower - par.

14 p. 18 - "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.

the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things before their death.

redvip2000

To be fair, they really mean nobody will do vile things after the 1000 years period.

It's always been common knowledge that during the 1000 years, the resurrected will be weeded out based on transgressions.

Jesus prophesied Global ''heat waves''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

https://www.jw.org/en/library/.

keep on the watch!.

record-breaking temperatures worldwide—what does the bible say?.

redvip2000

Can't let a crisis go to waste.

The WT and other religious nutcases have benefited from the fact the the writers of the goat herders manual, were so vague about the predictions that they can be used for anything.

There will be "fearful sights". Oh really? Is there anything terrible that can't be applied to that?

"There will be earthquakes in some places".... oh ok. Want to give us more detail goat herder? What day and time, and where? Then your prediction can have some teeth.

Here I can make a prediction that is just as impressive:

Oh ye of little faith, there will be plane crashes in the future..... Now, I won't tell you when, where, how many or any other details. Just remember to give me credit when the next one happens.

Do you believe that this life is all there is

by Fisherman in

the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.

what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

redvip2000

The Bible records resurrections and there is other evidence

Fairy tale accounts by middle eastern goat herders are not evidence. And there is no other evidence, so no, i don't believe it.
