JW Lawyer in Norway uses "theocratic warfare" to conceal the org's controlling language!
by BoogerMan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in the org's vocabulary, the term "independent thinking" is applied pejoratively to any jw who thinks & reasons for themselves.

the org's lawyer knew exactly what he was doing in court when he voiced his carefully prepared words:.

"watchtowers lawyer anders ryssdal compares jehovah’s witnesses’ baptism to the norwegian state church’s confirmation of 15-year-olds, arguing that their baptism is no different.

in 2025, the jehovah’s witnesses have taken their doctrine of isolation to a new extreme.

once known for their door-to-door evangelism, they now stand silently beside literature carts, refusing to engage in meaningful conversation with the public.

The org's failed last days predictions were "well meant."
by BoogerMan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
w93 6/1 p. 15 par.

6 be sound in mind - the end is close - "of course, well-meaning, faithful christians in the past have sincerely tried to predict when the end would come.".

more than 140 years of a sincere & well-meaning "it's coming soon" from the org, can be swept under the carpet - nothing to see here!.

Identifying the Faking and Deceitful Slave
by Sea Breeze in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
jehovah's witness founder, c. t. russell claimed to be the mouthpiece of god (zion's watch tower 1906 jul 15 p.230), later the organization he left behind claimed to be god's mouthpiece.

scripture is adamant that the word of god only applies to jesus christ and no other.

they claim to be the "mouthpiece" of god like jesus, and that the time is near.

The King of the North as you Never Heard ity Explained Before

1. watchtower
2. bible
https://youtu.be/w32nome-k20?si=a8bhxh5tjrkomgzq.

rather than seeing the king of the north as the final opponent of god’s people, i propose that daniel 11 points to a completely different figure.

while the watchtower society focuses on the struggle between these two kings, they overlook a third entity mentioned in verse 40, but let’s ready this verse first from the new world translation.

144,000 + 1 kings
by moomanchu in
1. jw
2. friends
i wonder why so many kings are needed for the millennial reign?

the almighty governing body says 24,000,000,000 people combined from those resurrected and the survivors of the big 'a' could make it into paradise.

that gives you 1 king for every 166,665 persons.
