hi everyone i’m not pimi or pimo i’m pima.. i don’t think the gb have everything right but i’m sitting on the fence that maybe they do some things.. if the great trib starts i will jump that side of the fence.. this is a definite little sneaky advantage dodging but even by their own doctrine last min some could come in.. i suspect many are like me.. i spent years in bethel and am very disappointed and disillusioned by it all.. but at the end of the day i love the bible and think it is the word of god and i don’t see any other religion that comes as close to what jesus describes his true followers or who are fulfilling mat 24:14..
@ exbpima - LOL - YOU'RE WAY OFF, I say you're way off this time son!! (F.L.)
I'm a Bible believer - not a WTBTS/GB believer!
As I once told a Bible study I had, "if anyone ever tells you something is in the Bible, ask them to prove it!"
WTBTS, 1919 - impossible to prove. Takes a helluva lot of faith - and indoctrination.

@ exbethelitepima - welcome to the 'dark side.' I hope you'll benefit from some of the members here.
Extra-ordinary claims require extra-ordinary evidence.
Question: can you provide Biblical proof that -
A) God personally chose the WTBTS to represent Him & Jesus Christ, and
B) He did so in 1919 C.E.
I've scoured the Scriptures to no avail.

3/15 p. 167 - “Therefore,
anyone deliberately
staying away from this celebration, on March 29, does well to consider this question: If willful disregard of the ancient Passover
was punishable by death,
would not a more severe
punishment be meted out to one who spurns the Lord’s Evening Meal...?”
jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?

@ peacefulpete - "Readers of the Noah stories...have assumed the writer must have envisioned a boat shape..."
Just stating the Bible facts - not on what erstwhile matelots thought the writer was saying.
kingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.
We live in hope!
it just keeps getting easier and easier to molest.
when big religion has got your back, and you know that you can rape kids with impunity as father religion keeps the door to heaven swinging wide, 24/7 absolution available for the superstitious pedo, why not should everyone rape kids….
the pedophile loophole, the mainstay of the whitewashed, clergy penitent privilege, the hole e grail of the christian whore is swinging open, welcoming the perverts.
Sincere thanks for that link; immediately passed it on to two separate JW households who are both seriously questioning the cult's teachings and practices.
i was trying to think of some common jw words and phrases i don't think are in the bible .. new world order new system spiritual israel governing body channel of communication organization reporting time pioneer aux pioneer circuit overseer kingdom hall circuit assembly district convention....,maybe you can think of something to add if you are inclined..
I've never seen the the word "organization" in the Bible - let alone "God's organization."

@ rules & regulations - Whether someone believes in the Biblical story of Noah's ark or not, it certainly doesn't help when people/businessmen who claim to be Bible believers pervert the narrative by depicting the ark as a boat - pointed at one end and rounded at the other! It was not going on a cruise, it was a gigantic crate - built just to float. (according to the account)
The BBC created a Noah's Ark documentary several years ago, but within 10 minutes they perpetuated the Disney version of Noah's ark and ridiculed (correctly) the fact that a boat that size could not be stay intact without metal fixings. Sigh!
i have just heard about a rebellion starting for the kingdom ministry schools this year.
nobody is allowed to go unless you are fully vaccinated and the unvaccinated are not allowed to watch by video conferencing.. apparently there are many congratulations insisting on recently fully vaccinated meaning to those elders, you had your latest booster recently.
if it’s been more than six months you are no longer fully vaccinated.. i hear of lots of elders or mss who just do not want to keep taking these injections some haven’t had a booster in months and now they are not allowed to go to the upcoming kms.. that is not really what the letter said, it says all coordinators have to check that all elders are fully vaccinated.
The U.S. military announced in the past few weeks that MANDATORY vaccination for personnel had to cease.
But the self-appointed "faithful slave" is ORDERING its 'wolves' to keep getting injected with experimental mrna.
the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.
some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.

@ punkofnice - Kevin McFree gave the answer what we should! You must've missed the memo.
