I got myself one of those things that give you the impression you're experiencing real-life enjoyable feelings and physical sensations, but it's actually all an illusion.
You mean a VR headset?
No, a

oscar wilde was an irish poet who moved to london in the late 1800's where he became famous.. his brother toby who was a songwriter, decided to emulate his brother and traveled to england to seek fame & fortune also.
he chose lincolnshire as the base for his songwriting, and settled in the town of bourne.. it was here where he wrote his most well known song, "bourne toby wilde.
Been there in my 'previous life.' Basically a drive-through town, to get to more interesting/busier places.

OSCAR WILDE was an Irish poet who moved to London in the late 1800's where he became famous.
His brother TOBY who was a songwriter, decided to emulate his brother and traveled to England to seek fame & fortune also. He chose Lincolnshire as the base for his songwriting, and settled in the town of BOURNE.
It was here where he wrote his most well known song, "Bourne Toby Wilde."
matthew 26: 18-20 .
18 he said: “go into the city to so-and-so and say to him, ‘the teacher says: “my appointed time is near; i will celebrate the passover with my disciples at your home.19 so the disciples did as jesus instructed them and prepared for the passover.20 when evening came, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.. only jesus and his 12 disciples were present at the passover .if jesus wanted observers, he would of had some sit down at his last meal and requested that they be present that day and future passovers.
why does the wts feel that observers ( non partakers ) need to attend the yearly memorial?
R&F JW's cannot partake of the emblems because they are not participants of the New Covenant, as shown by the type/antetype which says foreigners were not participants of the Law Covenant.
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6 - "Further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the Law covenant. In what way? Not by becoming participants in it but by submitting to the laws associated with it and benefiting from its arrangements."
Deuteronomy 29:10-15 destroys this JW dogma & its implications.
10 “All of you are stationed today before Jehovah your God, the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officers, every man of Israel,
11 your children, your wives, and your foreign resident who is in the midst of your camp, from the one gathering your wood to the one drawing your water.
12 You are here in order to enter into the covenant of Jehovah your God and his oath, which Jehovah your God is making with you today
13 in order that he may establish you today as his people and that he may be your God, just as he has promised you and just as he swore to your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 "Now it is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and this oath,
15 but it is with those standing here with us today before Jehovah our God and with those who are not here with us today."
first off, i have made it real clear with jw's my thoughts on being a jw.
i'm out, there is no coming back.. second, i'm on their " do not call list" .. so why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?.
don't they follow their do not call list?
As a longtime "fader" I have simply ignored the hand-written letters which encourage me to "return to Jehovah/congregation."
No doubt the personal calls will resume when the "Black Plague" subsides enough for the ministry to restart.
not according to this verse:.
(mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.
but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.
Not according to this verse:
(Mark 3:28, 29) Truly I say to you that ALL things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter WHAT sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak. But whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has NO forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”
Unless of it course it should read like this:
(Mark 3:28, 29) Truly I say to you that all things will be forgiven JW's, no matter WHAT sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak. But whoever blasphemes against the Governing Body/Org has NO forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”
now they start inviting to their "commemorate the death of jesus" event.
it always makes me a bit sad.
i don’t think i could endure to watch it myself today.
The JW two-tier Christianity is predicated on the fake type/antetype dogma that the 'other sheep' picture the foreigners who left Egypt with the Israelites and weren't participants of the old covenant - only 'beneficiaries.' Try telling that to Rahab & Ruth!
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6 - "Further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the Law covenant. In what way? Not by becoming participants in it but by submitting to the laws associated with it and benefiting from its arrangements."
Deuteronomy 29:10-15 blows this anti-scriptural teaching & its 'type/ante-type' implications clear out the water.
But of course, JW's are spiritually illiterate and can't read/understand the Bible - unless the 'slave' guides them.
according to a european pro-cult website, jehovah’s witnesses take france's anti-cult organisation miviludes to court.

- Revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends
out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.
The wild beast that ascends out of the abyss is claimed to be the United Nations.
How could a non-existent U.N. (not created until 1945) - fulfill a prophecy in 1918 - 27 years BEFORE it ever existed? Many will still swallow this without a thought. Sigh!
growing up around the faith, whenever i heard something taught, i'd always think there is a different way of looking at that, probably better.. we always hear "this good news of the kingdom will be preached... " matt 24:14.. so i think, is there more to it than preaching the kingdom?.
luke 17:21 the kjv and asv says "neither shall they say, lo here!
or, lo there!
@ Disillusioned JW: The Service Committee at JW Branches will automatically bin any anonymous letters which highlight "flaws" in a JW dogma.
On the other hand, (as in my case) if you give your details you will probably eventually receive a literature-based reply - coupled with a letter to your COBE to alert him that you probably merit "encouragement with your weakness." In other words, keep you monitored as a potential troublemaker/apostate.
