the wts has used to above terms, over the years, some more preferred in certain time periods.

more though, but these occurred to me first.

also the terms "new world" and "new world order" have been used by some us presidents and other leaders..

The Borg should've just stuck to the official wording. 😀

(Isaiah 65:17) "For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth;"

(Isaiah 66:22) “For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making...”

(2 Peter 3:13) "But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting...."

(Revelation 21:1) "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth;"

In the right hand picture - at the top of the page in the middle - there is a pretty clear depiction of what looks like the head of a baby. Its brow and eyes are visible, and the nose is illuminated by a light.

Copy & enlarge it.

Insight Book LIES - then tells the TRUTH!

by BoogerMan in

it-1 p. 493 communication - "when the circumcision issue was resolved by the governing body in jerusalem......".

it-1 p. 881 galatians, letter to the - "by reason of a revelation, paul, with barnabas and titus, went to jerusalem regarding the circumcision issue; he learned nothing new from james, peter, and john, but they recognized that he had been empowered for an apostleship to the nations.

" (galatians 2:1-10).

(Galatians 2:1-10)

According to the Bible, (which never implies let alone mentions a "governing body") the apostle Paul was used to resolve the circumcision issue.

It was he who instructed the mythical "governing body" and they had to listen! They then agreed with Paul's direction.

(Galatians 2:6) "But regarding those who seemed to be important...those highly regarded men ("governing body" 🤣) imparted nothing new to me."

GB being sued as a group and named individually in a child sexual abuse coverup.

by liam in

this is a court case filed in august 2021 by the zalkin law firm.

deborah hines vs watchtower and the governing body.. what's interesting is;.

"ny already set a precedent that an unincorporated group can be sued for its action and has specifically said this case can move forward.

Several years ago, I reasoned that since the WTBTS multi-billion dollar business corporation was an integral part of "the system" - based upon its wealth, influence, and the "contacts" it has accrued - then it would be granted certain favours/protections by some of these contacts.

As such, I'll not hold my breath waiting for the JW hierarchy to be punished jointly/severally by a U.S. court.

Sorry for being a doubting-Thomas.

What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

let's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovah’s witnesses is the one true religion.

all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

Spiritism (talking to dead humans) is wrong, but it's OK for the Governing Body to do it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣The Org Communicates With Dead Humans:

re chap. 20 p. 125 par. 17 - "This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group ("anointed Christians") may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today."

w07 1/1 p. 28 par. 11 - “The First Resurrection”—Now Under Way! - "It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group ("anointed Christians") may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today. Why is that important? Because the correct identity of the great crowd was revealed to God’s anointed servants on earth in 1935. If one of the 24 elders was used to convey that important truth, he would have had to be resurrected to heaven by 1935 at the latest. That would indicate that the first resurrection began sometime between 1914 and 1935."

The Governing Body's voice is the same as Jehovah's!

w57 6/15 p. 370 par. 7 - "It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision."

Don't you just love LITERATURE truths?

by BoogerMan in

as jw's we swallowed such concoctions for years - without a single scripture provided as proof!.

w71 12/15 p. 759 - "apparently, the apostle peter was the chairman of the governing body on the festival day of pentecost of 33 c.e., and the disciple james, the half brother of jesus christ, was the chairman at a later date, according to the account in acts of apostles.

from this, and from what historical evidence there is available, the chairmanship of the governing body rotated.".

Can someone point me to the to the account in Acts of Apostles - I'm having trouble finding it! 🤣

Flee to the Mountains......What Mountains?

by liam in

may 2025 study article 21 seek the city that will remain.

what i remember was, when you see the romans, flee to the mountains.

now the wt is saying that's not enough.

A) Note what Jesus said about the imminent and only tribulation to which he was warning his Jewish listeners - "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be equaled again," and

B) consider the context of the elder's reference to "the great tribulation" at Revelation 7:14; he was reminding John of the same great tribulation which the angel had warned about just a few minutes earlier, @ Revelation 2:22.

You can't have a "greater" fulfillment of something which will never be repeated!

We're NOT apostates. That's the org's pejorative description of anyone who disagrees with their dogmas.

We're heretics.

Hope you find the real truth before you find a JW husband. Try examining what you're told is truth. (1 John 4:1)
