  lett has announced in the latest video update that jehovah has dignified the brothers by now letting them to choose for themselves whether they want to have a beard or not -.

  The GB wants to distinguish the outward looks of their “men” with the clean shaven Mormons. Watch out for young women now who stop shaving their legs in protest and put on a French persona.

  what is with the jw cadence when they speak.

  do they think they are teaching people ?

  they sound like pro wrestlers doing promos or shakespearean actors.

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  One reasoning I’ve heard is calling your birthday, an anniversary of your birth , day. Because everyone has only one birth…day, the day of your birth. Geeze, how pharasidic of them , calling this an anniversary.

  Life in a spiritual (UN)-paradise

  a long, long time ago, when i was young, i became a 'special' pioneer.

  it meant that i had to spend 150 hours a month, and i received a small allowance.

  i was then assigned to a small country congregation, in western nsw (australia).

  I finished up with over 1500 unplaced mags. When the Circuit Servant came for his 6 monthly visit, I asked him what should I do with the old ones. He looked at them and snapped at me, "Place them, of course." Yeah! That would've tested even Jesus' miraculous power

  should have used them for firewood and created a lot more “new” light

  One Quick build they build in North Katy was torn down and rebuild only after 4 or 5 years in the 90,s. Not sure the reason, I had already left. To this day , senior jdumbs still praise this very flawed method.

  MY EXPERIMENT with new A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) refutes Watchtower chronology in a blazing one second of time

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  bulletin (apple ios users only).

  these secular sources and evidence suggest that the destruction of jerusalem by babylon took place in 537 bce, not 607 bce as jehovah's witnesses believe.. .

  these problems with the watchtower society's reasoning suggest that their interpretation of the bible and the date of the destruction of jerusalem by babylon is incorrect.. .

  Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.

  this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.

  reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

  Finally WT is taking away field circus time reporting. Starting in November 2023, colporters just need to check a box if they did anything cult related. My guess is they can’t dare expose the devastatingly low numbers without any truthful explanation. Eliminating time reporting for only the earthly group will safely cloud the low numbers. Everyone else is still required to turn in time.

  Imagine David karesh and hitler having a study after the GT. The WT doctrine is so full of holes.

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  jw view gambling as a sin and sadly people get addicted to gambling causing them financial and health problems.

  but is playing a couple of bucks a week on some lottery tickets actually gambling?

  what do you have to lose?
