JE-sus making a comeback at the 2024 Convention
by dropoffyourkeylee inattended the friday sesson of the 2024 summer convention.. july 5, 2024 summer convention crowd photo; they invited quite a lot of empty chairs.. .
the facility usually has 5500-6500. they spun it saying that fewer congregations were assigned.
there were 6 of the smaller, more distant sections blocked off with tarps to lessen cleaning, which i understand.

as regards the title of the thread, lol
how can jesus "come back" when he was never with watchtower leaders in the first place?
even the historians of the organization know that
just ask garth, right "vienne" 😉😉
(garth has split personality "dis-order")

Key Criticisms of the Organization
by Vanderhoven7 injust picked this summary up.
"some of the key criticisms that have been raised about the jehovah's witness organization include:.
strict control and authoritarianism: the organization is highly centralized, with major decisions being made by the governing body.

Frag,
It's past time to restart your meds.
@vienne, i already knew you were a fraud when it comes to watchtower research
but i didn't know you were a fraud practicer of medicine too
but i'm not surprised
you defend massimo introvigne
you defend russell
and you defend rutherford
your playbook is the same as watchtower
i know who you are vienne
your lack of wisdom gives you away
i am sorry for you
and i am ashamed of you because of your conduct
but i cannot help you
since you embrace lies and desire glory from men rather than glory from god
goodnight, vienne

Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?
by VerdadTJ2 ini have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?
"i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.

an illustration:
if the 144,000 are like Jesus' "bride"
and all christians are like Jesus' "kids"
what do you think Jesus is about to do to the GB?
the gb and their wt hierarchy are about to be erased
the gb and the wt hierarchy will be shamed in front of the entire world
there will be nothing left of the watchtower corporations and power structure
it is the judgment of jehovah against them

If this is what they're up to, they're going to have to eventually address the dilemma of the 144,000 being annointed/Jesus' brothers, and stop 🛑 any memorial attendees from partaking.
they already do that to some of the 144,000
when i first told the cobe i was anointed, he said "you're mentally ill"
they physically brought me to the dr and told the dr they thought i was crazy
when i flushed the pills (i am not mentally ill) the cobe beat me with a wooden plank
he told me to strip off my clothes first
after that i never partook at the kh but i knew every year i was supposed to
finally twenty years later i told the other elders what the cobe and his wife did
because some other stuff happened and i was worried they would hurt some kids
the gb knew what went on because mark sanderson's secretary came to one of my "shepherding" calls - he was from my kh
anyway, there is a lot more to say but many people here don't believe in jehovah so no matter what i say someone will call me "crazy"
(i'm not crazy)
but the gb are jealous - they know jehovah is the true god
the wt hierarchy are satanists
they are satanists
and they have been attempting to prevent the 144,000 from keeping integrity, but they failed
so now satan will eat his own flesh, figuratively speaking
it is the judgment of jehovah
the wt will fall
the 144,000 are all sealed
jesus has taken the throne in heaven
and the great tribulation has begun
the wt will fall
it is the judgment of jehovah

The Phenomenology of Sectarianism
by aqwsed12345 inthe analysis of sectarianism has topical relevance today, and increasingly so.
however, the scarcity and insignificance of the responses to the challenge of sectarianism create the impression as if, for some unknown reason, the historical churches would avoid this challenge.
they usually satisfy themselves with emphasizing the dangers of sectarianism and the sweeping condemnation of sects - which, although often true, does not delve into the depths of the phenomenon; and does not help those who it is intended for to understand; or they point to the heretical nature of individual sects, the distortions in their teachings, their lack of catholicity, and usually do not omit the self-critical observation that in terms of trust and faith, community, and devotion, we too can learn a lot from them.

dear @aqwsed...
i like this part of what you said:
Neither human rights nor religious freedom justify tolerating, let alone supporting, such sects, which can be considered the cancerous tumors of humanity.
the thing is, all the churches fit that description of "sects"
since both mainstream churches as well as the more cult-y ones
disobey christ's clear command:
"one is your leader, the christ; whereas you are all brothers"
thus all the churches, both mainstream and the more cult-y ones
will be dissolved
they have to be
and they will be
the only true "church" or "congregation" is the one that clings to christ
and you don't need a 501c3 to do that
or a gb or a pope or an lds quorum or anything like that
you just have to love and be sorry when you hurt someone and try to just be good
it's not complicated
we don't need a physical building or a clergy class in order to love god
just walk outside -
look at the stars
feel the breeze
bask in the sunshine -
his love is everywhere
the temple arrangement was for a purpose just like a placenta is for a purpose
but when the child is born there is no need for that amazing organ anymore
time to move ahead
in freedom
