In our day the Governing Body is made up of spirit-anointed brothers from various lands. It is located at the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Loyally it furthers the interests of pure worship under the headship of Jesus Christ. These brothers share the viewpoint of the apostle Paul, who, when sending spiritual counsel to fellow Christians, wrote: “Not that we are the masters over your faith,”—2 Cor. 1:24. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just made a video that every JW should see.

by Kosonen in

jw
friends

i just made a video every jw should see.

the aim of this video is to help jehovah's witnesses be more open to constructive critisism, especially from their own members, that are swiftly excommunicated /disfellowshipped/ removed from the congregation if they dare to point out their religion's flaws concerning doctrine and practises, even when there is scriptural evidence.

i have first hand experience of that.. https://youtu.be/71zcv7lux3g.

John 14:26 - "But the helper, the ~~holy spirit~~, the G.B. which the Father will send in my name, they will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you."

1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

by neat blue dog in

he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

Matthew 24:14 - "And this good news of the marital bedroom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

From the January 2025 Study Watchtower:

Give Glory to Jehovah

STUDY ARTICLE 1, SONG 2 Jehovah Is Your Name

OUR YEARTEXT FOR 2025: “Give Jehovah the glory due his name.”—PS. 96:8

HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER?

What does it mean to give Jehovah glory?

What motivates us to give Jehovah glory?

How can we give Jehovah the glory he deserves?

A self-promotion of the org's brand-name/logo (Jehovah) while dismissing the torrent of Scriptures to the contrary.

From my Bible research and what I can discern, God Almighty wants his Son's name witnessed about, relied upon, and praised - at least for 1000 years!

(Matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness....

(Mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for my sake, for a witness to them.

(Luke 24:48) You are to be witnesses of these things.

(John 1:15) John bore witness about him, (Jesus)

(John 5:37) And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.

(John 8:18) ...bears witness about myself, and the Father..bears witness about me.”

(John 15:26, 27) the spirit of the truth...bear witness about me;

(Acts 1:8) ..witnesses of me in Jerusalem,.....the most distant part of the earth.”

(Acts 9:15, 16) But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name [Jesus] to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel. For I will show him plainly how many things he must suffer for my name.” [Jesus]

(Acts 10:39) And we are witnesses of all the things he did.......

(Acts 10:43) To him all the prophets bear witness....

(Acts 13:31) .......These are now his witnesses to the people.

(Acts 22:15) ...because you are to be a witness for him (Jesus) to all men......

(Acts 22:20) ...and when the blood of Stephen your witness...

(Acts 23:11) ....witness about me in Jerusalem,.....also bear witness in Rome.”

(Acts 26:16) .....a witness.......respecting me.

(1 Corinthians 1:6) ...the witness about the Christ has been made firm among you,

(1 Timothy 2:6, 7) ...this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.

(2 Timothy 1:8) ....the witness about our Lord.......

(1 John 5:9) ....this is the witness God gives, the witness.....about his Son.

(Revelation 1:9) ......bearing witness concerning Jesus.

(Revelation 12:17) ....have the work of bearing witness concerning Jesus.

(Revelation 17:6) ......and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

(Revelation 19:10) ....witnessing concerning Jesus...the witness concerning Jesus...”

(Revelation 20:4) ...for the witness they gave about Jesus......

The perfect Jesus Christ was assigned to be God's witness, and in turn, imperfect Christians were assigned to be witness of their Messiah.

(Revelation 1:5) "....Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,”

(Revelation 3:14) "....the faithful and true witness.."

(Revelation 19:11) "And the one seated on it is called Faithful and True,.."

The Bible repeatedly shows that Christians were never to do anything in/for God's name. The following verses show that Christ's name alone was always to be the priority for Christians:

(Isa. 62:2) ...a new name.....Jehovah’s own mouth will designate. (see Acts 11:26)

(Matthew 5:11) “Happy are you when people...say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake.

(Matthew 12:21) Indeed, in his name nations will hope.”

(Matthew 10:22) And you will be hated by all people on account of my name,......

(Matthew 18:5) …receives one such young child on the basis of my name receives me also.

(Matthew 18:20) For where there are two or three gathered together in my name,....

(Matthew 19:29) .......for the sake of my name......will inherit everlasting life.

(Matthew 24:5) ...for many will come on the basis of my name,... (Matthew 24:9) .......and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name. (Mark 9:37) ...on the basis of my name....

(Mark 9:39) ….will do a powerful work on the basis of my name...

(Mark 13:6) Many will come on the basis of my name,...

(Luke 9:48) Whoever receives this young child on the basis of my name receives me also.

(Luke 9:49) ….we saw someone expelling demons by using your name.

(Luke 10:17) “...even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name.”

(Luke 21:8) ...for many will come on the basis of my name,...

(Luke 21:12) ......brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.

(Luke 21:16, 17) .......and you will be hated by all people because of my name.

(Luke 24:47) ...and on the basis of his name, repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached...

(John 2:23) .....many people put their faith in his name........

(John 5:27) .....in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice..

(John 14:26) But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name,

(John 15:16) ......no matter what you ask the Father in my name,

(Acts 2:38) Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ

(Acts 3:6) In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!”

(Acts 4:10) .....in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,

(Acts 5:40) . . .and ordered them to stop speaking on the basis of Jesus’ name.

(Acts 5:41) ....counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name.

(Acts 9:14-16) .....all those calling on your name.....he must suffer for my name.”

(Acts 10:48) .....he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

(Acts 11:26) ..........the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.

(Acts 16:18) “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.”

(Acts 19:5) On hearing this, they got baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

(Acts 21:13) ...but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.....

(Acts 22:16) ....get baptized, and wash your sins away by your calling on his name.’

(1 Corinthians 6:11) ...been declared righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

(2 Corinthians 5:15) .....no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them.

(Philippians 2:10) .....so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend......

(Hebrews 13:15) Through him (Jesus) let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that make public declaration to his* name.

(Revelation 2:3) ....and you have borne up for my name’s sake...

(Revelation 2:13) ......and yet you keep on holding fast my name,. . .

* Jesus' name was to be "publicly declared" and the focus for Christtian's - not Jehovah's name. This is clearly proven by the 43 "name" scriptures & the 27 "witness" scriptures above. Confirming this truth, Romans 10:17 says this, "So faith follows the thing heard. In turn, what is heard is through the word about Christ." (not Jehovah!)

Repetitition for emphasis! (for newbies who never knew Christians were to be witnesses for Christ)

If any JW reads all these scriptures, they must be deeply disturbed by the org's name of Jehovah's Witnesses. Surely?

December 2024 Study WT: Don't HAVE faith - EXERCISE it!!!!!!

by BoogerMan in

study 49 rinses & repeats the order for the sheeple to exercise their faith, i.e.

recruitment etc.

for the cult.. (john 3:16-18) “for god loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

Study 49 rinses & repeats the order for the sheeple to exercise their faith, i.e. recruitment etc. for the cult.

(John 3:16-18) “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. Whoever exercises faith in him is not to be judged. Whoever does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God." (RNWT)

(John 3:16-18) “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son." (NLT)

Greek πιστεύω (pisteuō) - "to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in of the thing believed, to credit, have confidence in a moral or religious reference, used in the NT of the conviction and trust to which a man is impelled by a certain inner and higher prerogative and law of soul, mere acknowledgment of some fact or event: intellectual faith ."

πιστεύω pisteúō, pist-yoo'-o; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), i.e. credit; by implication, to entrust (especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ):—believe(-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with."

(John 5:24) "Most truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life,"

(John 6:47) "Most truly I say to you, whoever believes has everlasting life."

(Acts 13:38, 39) “Let it therefore be known to you, brothers, that through this one [Jesus] a forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, and that.......everyone who believes is declared guiltless by means of this one."

(1 John 5:1) "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God,"

I REST MY CASE, G.B.

Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly

by slimboyfat in

the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.

even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.

yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

@ SBF - The Gibbering Body must have read your post title - they give their answer in the December 2024 Study WT.

Even the CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA got it wrong about JW's!

by BoogerMan in

w12 3/1 p. 4 “remain in my word” - "regarding jehovah’s witnesses, the new catholic encyclopedia states: “they regard the bible as their only source of belief and rule of conduct.”" .

time for a revised new catholic encyclopedia to include, "and their g.b.".

w12 4/1 p. 3 in search of answers - "is there one reliable source of information that can give authoritative answers to our questions about jesus?

Time for a REVISED New Catholic Encyclopedia to include, "And their G.B."

P.S. w12 4/1 p. 3 In Search of Answers - "Is there one reliable source of information that can give authoritative answers to our questions about Jesus? The publishers of this journal believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it alone tells us the whole truth about Jesus."

P.P.S. w68 1/1 p. 5 - "The only source of information that supplies the truth...is the Holy Bible." 😄

Should we trust con-men to tell us the TRUTH about themselves?

by BoogerMan in

if god's self-appointed "slave" says so, it must be the right thing to do!.

w15 9/1 p. 3 who are jehovah’s witnesses?

- "would you like to receive truthful answers to your questions about jehovah’s witnesses?

BoogerMan

Of course we should! If God's self-appointed "slave" says so, it must be the right thing to do!

w15 9/1 p. 3 Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? - "Would you like to receive truthful answers to your questions about Jehovah’s Witnesses? We encourage you to turn to the most knowledgeable source—Jehovah’s Witnesses themselves, who publish this magazine." (Proverbs 14:15 - "The naive person believes every word, But the shrewd one ponders each step.")

The org actually cited Proverbs 14:15! Cognitive dissonance at its best.
