. We cannot ignore Caesar’s law or the seriousness of an oath, but Jehovah’s law is supreme.
So then ignore Ceasars law

Has anyone been outed by jw health care workers?
by purrpurr incarrying on from audespare thread.
i was wondering how common it is for a sinner/apostate to be outed by a babbling jw care worker?
say you went to your dr because you were pregnant and unmarried or wanting counseling for having to live a double life as a pretend jw... and a jw secretary at the drs office saw this on your file and went tattling to the elders?.

Did they say that if prince hadn't died of that overdose he would have been disfellowshipped and shunned by all JW'S all the planet?
And that would mean death at Armageddon?
Probably not
Although I imagine the org has shelved the caleb and sofia video on drugs for now

converts from other faiths to JWs get blessings?
by TTWSYF ini don't know about your experiences, but for my brother and his family, going from catholic to witness was [is] a disaster.
he's an elder and wouldn't admit it, but his health and portfolio have drastically declined since his conversion to the jw faith.
it is apparent to all who love him.

Satan's attacking him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth
(If he was better off instead...)
Jehovah is blessing him so that's how you KNOW it's the truth

Anointed rule as soon as they get to heaven. Is this another flip flop ?
by wannaexit ini remember hearing that the anointed that died would start ruling at the start of the thousand year reign.
now it seems they are teaching that these deluded bozos that die get to rule right now in heaven.
when did this teaching change?

I don't believe this is new.
Even the Rev Climax book talked about the John class participating in events taking place currently
There have been other WT articles illuding to this also

Plus jw's needed to take that as their summer vacation so as hard as they slaved for the BOrg the kids never got a real vacation with the family -

I think these types of ads are more to guilt the parents into donating than to teach the kids. Kids don't have money, parents do and the BOrg wants that money NOW
After all parents need to lead by example, and if "I'm teaching my kids to give to jehovah how much more so should I be willing to give?"
Very typical of BOrg

The Watchtower Org will die.
by Freeandclear ini was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?
etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.
i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

To me the survival of the org isn't money but membership... although the two are connected
When I was young, "we" were smarter than every one else. We had 128 pages per month of God directed knowledge. We "knew" the end was chronologically connected to 1914 by one generation.
You preached and studied and went to meetings or you were gonna die at Armageddon in only a few years
Today, it's "the best life ever". You don't preach etc to avoid impending death but to have friends and be charitable
Kids aren't memorizing scriptures for the day their bibles are all burned and they're thrown in concentration camp, they're watching videos about sharing and obeying their parents.
Family study when I was a kid was just another meeting full of protocol and structure, no father would DARE have their kids color pictures of bible characters and call that a study!
The watchtower rebranding is a complete response (to me anyway) to two major events 1 the forced doubling of the 1914 generation and 2 the internet expose of the org's past and present
As stated this was a tactical response but also an acknowledgement that the Franzian Era was dead and without a major change the org would bleed members not by DA'ing but by children not getting baptized and leaving it behind
This rebranding annoys the old die hard cause its not about them, this is all about desperately keeping children engaged to keep them in long enough to get hooked and trapped in for life

Looking back,"That was crazy, moment"
by MarkofCane ini got baptized later in life.
i was around 21, i had left and went out into the world should of listen to my gut back then, but instead i disowned myself and came back into the fold.
before i could get baptized, the elder who studied with me said i needed to get rid of everything that was contaminated by this world: music, books & clothing,everything.
