  So do you think the Russian brothers are saying "WTF" right now?

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they were told to risk imprisonment to keep meeting and preaching because "we must obey god rather than men".

  while here in the u s. we voluntarily cancel meetings and preaching because "we need to be in subjection to the superior authorities".

  thoughts?.

  I was thinking the same thing.

  I remember proudly boasting that when the government try to stop us from meeting together we'd "obey god as ruler rather than men" and it'd likely result in us going to prison etc.

  And now......... the GB bend over.

  i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?

  will the elders disfellowship her?

  will jehovah be angry with her or upset?

  They wouldn’t actually have grounds to do anything about it. But we all know if the elders got wind of it they’d pull an unrelated scripture out of their ass and try to “council” her.

  Remember when we were told the government would ban meetings but we'd steadfastly meet together anyway?

  Turns out all it takes is a virus and they'll obey the government after all.

  Sanders is such a Socialist (actually, Communist in disguise)

  Isnt he a Social Democrat? I dont think Communists or Socialists would agree with a lot of his policies.

  You say you are an apostate. Then why do you need that non sense ? Just curious.

  I post a lot elsewhere online and I like to have hard evidence for when they change their doctrine.

  Mine was due to elders interfearing in my family and everything I do. In frustration I came on here to vent and recieved more support from so-called "apostates" than I ever did in the JWs.

  Once I read Crises Of Conscience by Ray Franz there was no going back.

  Once you realise that the elders have no power over you you stop being so afraid of them. I was disfellowshipped by a bus driver and two window washers.

  My mother got "the truth"™ when she was 15. Baptized when she was 17. She's now 62 with absolutely no retirement plan or savings. She lives from week to week like she always has. Good thing she lives in the UK where she'll benefit from social housing and medical care. My never JW brother tells me she spends every waking moment on the ministry or carts. She's finally acheived her life-goal of becoming part of the congregation clique (but this is also because the clique from the 90s/00s have since woken up and left).

  When she finally croaks I'll wait and see if JW. org have a whip round for her funeral costs. I'm not holding my breath.

  May 2020 Watchtower They Admit, they don't know

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they'll write pages and pages of stuff and yet they don't have any idea.. here's a paragraph from their latest speculations on future events, bolding is mine.. a prophecy recorded by ezekiel gives some insight into what may happen during the last days of the king of the north and the king of the south.

  if we view the prophecies of ezekiel 38:10-23; daniel 2:43-45; 11:44–12:1; and revelation 16:13-16, 21 as speaking about the same time period and events, it appears that we can expect the following developments.. that's an awful lot of assumptions to make.

  what they've done is picked out various scriptures from different parts of the bible and now state that they may or may not be talking about the same events.

  Just finished reading through that WT. It's the first time I've read one since leaving 4 years ago.

  What strikes me straight away is how outlandish their claims are, very little evidence presented and what "evidence" they present is circular reasoning or confirmation bias.

  The horns represent Britain, Spain, France and the Netherlands? Really Watchtower? Any evidence for that? Any at all?..............................................

  How I ever beleived this sh*te evades me.
