I am not still in, but I think more than ever they are encouraged to research within-being told as they tell the public, go to JW.org and the online library. See, they have even made the research easier that way.

Do Your Own Research.
by LostintheFog1999 inthere were several times when i was inside the congregation that i met up with a problem in my life and on mentioning it at a group i would be told to do my own research about it.. of course, they didn't mean for me to research worldly material for the answer but to use the wt indexes and look into the wt society magazines.. it was only when i started to do my own research outside of the wt that i began to see the limited scope of the society's magazines as all problems usually fell into the category of 1. read the bible, attend meetings, go out on the work, and pray; or 2. this isn't going to be fixed now but in the new world god will sort it out and the former things (what you are suffering from now) will not be called to mind.. i wonder how many people still in are struggling and are not being encouraged to research away from the organisation where they would receive practical and valuable advice?.

Gman2001 -what do you mean no infrastructure? Don't you know there will be Ramapo producing videos to teach everyone where they came from and where they are going? And the JW s will be living in the fine homes they picked out while working D2D.

Why didn't they just tell people Rutherford needed to move to San Diego?
by SydBarrett infrom wikipedia: "rutherford had reportedly lost the use of one lung from pneumonia suffered during his imprisonment in 1918 and 1919. finding new york's winter weather "impossible", rutherford was encouraged by a doctor to "spend as much time as possible" in a more favorable climate.
" why not just tell the people exactly what it says above?
why all the mumbo jumbo about purchasing it for ancient worthies to be resurrected?

What I find hard to believe ( even though I shouldn't beings I have been a gullible fool ) is that people actually thought that house was to be occupied by the great worthies. They bought that pack of lies!

Scriptures That Don’t Fit WT Theology
by Sea Breeze inhere’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.
why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?

1 Thes 5:21 make sure of all things; hold fast to that which is fine. (BUT the only way to make sure is to do your research in JW publications Don't dare look elsewhere.. In fact, you can't even use the Bible as sure if you read in it something that disagrees with the JWs)

some people use their skin as a journal. I do wonder though if there is something addictive about the inks.

Biden running in 2024 🤣
by LoveUniHateExams ini've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.
apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.
his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

In mine opinion, they are all puppets...do you really think you have a voice? We all know the last election was a fraud, but nothing really done about it.

JW Bible study notes obscuring the scriptures
by enoughisenough infrom “study notes” found in the bible online : matthew 26:28. blood of the covenant: the new covenant, between jehovah and anointed christians, was made operative by jesus’ sacrifice.
(heb 8:10) jesus here uses the same expression moses used when acting as mediator and inaugurating the law covenant with israel at mount sinai.
(ex 24:8; heb 9:19-21) just as the blood of bulls and goats validated the law covenant between god and the nation of israel, jesus’ blood made valid the new covenant that jehovah would make with spiritual israel.

From “study notes” found in the Bible online : Matthew 26:28
blood of the covenant: The new covenant, between Jehovah and anointed Christians, was made operative by Jesus’ sacrifice. (Heb 8:10) Jesus here uses the same expression Moses used when acting as mediator and inaugurating the Law covenant with Israel at Mount Sinai. (Ex 24:8; Heb 9:19-21) Just as the blood of bulls and goats validated the Law covenant between God and the nation of Israel, Jesus’ blood made valid the new covenant that Jehovah would make with spiritual Israel. That covenant went into effect at Pentecost 33 C.E.—Heb 9:14, 15.
This is the study notes on Luke 22:20: new covenant by virtue of my blood: Luke is the only Gospel writer to record that Jesus on this occasion referred to a “new covenant,” an allusion to Jer 31:31. The new covenant, between Jehovah and anointed Christians, was made operative by Jesus’ sacrifice. (Heb 8:10) Jesus here uses the terms “covenant” and “blood” in a way similar to the way Moses used the terms when acting as mediator and inaugurating the Law covenant with Israel at Mount Sinai. (Ex 24:8; Heb 9:19-21) Just as the blood of bulls and goats validated the Law covenant between God and the nation of Israel, Jesus’ blood made valid the new covenant that Jehovah would make with spiritual Israel. That covenant went into effect at Pentecost 33 C.E.—Heb 9:14, 15.
. . . poured out in your behalf: The words from the middle of verse 19 (“which is to be given . . .”) to the end of verse 20 are missing in some manuscripts, but this passage has strong support in early authoritative manuscripts.—For more information about how ancient manuscripts are used to establish the Greek text, see App. A3.
See how the study notes on the sighted scriptures show the new covenant to be about the anointed or spiritual Israel rather than what Jesus himself said...it is for forgiveness of sin.
