if you go to the official JW website and look up WT 1957 5/1 pages274-275 you will see the JW teaching. From paragraph 5:.." Paul identifies Jehovah's wife as his invisible universal organization. the mother of Christ and of his joint heirs."...From paragraph 6: Jesus as principal child of the mother when the kingdom was born in 1914 . Then she, ( God's wife/invisible universal organization ) gave birth to children on earth in 1919... . " but since these Children of Zion have a heavenly destiny to reign with Christ, they also become part of the universal organization that is God's wife." ///my thoughts: The JW teach they are the earthly organization/mother and that you have to obey your mother ( them as represented by the governing body)-so yeah! People do believe this! But think about what is written in the WT article-they eventually become part of God's invisible universal organization making them God's wife as well! What a stretch! The 144000 thousand are spoken of as Christ's bride and What? The bride takes oh his Jesus Father...I guess they are "swingers".

the toll of being PIMO
by enoughisenough infor those of you who are pimo, how do you feel it may be effecting your mental and physical health?
is it easy to pretend to be what you are not?
how do you feel about falsely supporting the pimi which builds them up and therefore an org you don't believe in?

For the short while I was PIMO, I felt guilty when around those all in. I felt guilty in supporting their efforts to unwittingly seduce others into the org. A group got together for a memorial of a friend who had died at a "sister's" home. The whole time I was there, I kept thinking: if they knew what I really thought, I wouldn't be welcome here and they wouldn't speak to me. It was not a comfortable feeling.

Did God know adam and eve would sin?
by gavindlt into all those on this forum, i would love to know what your take on this vital question is..

I don't think he knew anymore than most newly weds know whether or not their spouse willl cheat on them. Actually, some newly weds have a better chance at knowing if they are marrying someone with whom they cheated. I think he gave them free will and let the chips fall. If Satan had not turned and fooled EVE....Strange thought: who tempted the other first. We read that Satan tempted Eve. But wasn't satan tempted by wanting the worship of the humans?

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”
by FFGhost inso, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.
old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.
the “door of the ark” is closed.

dropoffyourkeylee..."tearing it down brick by brick" I have had the thought that is the intention, but to do it in such a way so as to keep people sending in the funds until the last, so they can build more on other's time to have to sell off when they get it dismantled to the point they want it. ( other than the movie studios which they will use to spread new world propaganda.)

My decision.
by MissDaSilva ini’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

carla- you wrote they weren't your real friends and you weren't a real friend to them, but rather use them. I couldn't agree more. To stay in and pretend is lying to people you say you are friends with. How does one be a friend and yet support others who are preaching lies and trying to draw others into this God dishonoring organization? Some can play the game...I couldn't. I have no one...I made the decision...but I can look in the mirror and know I am not a hypocrit. I wonder what toll it is really taking on the Pimo. Question for another discussion....

Join JW's or DIE - soon!!!
by BoogerMan inw72 10/1 p. 607 - "they (jw's) know that soon now all who are not true worshipers of jehovah (jw's) will be destroyed.".
how quickly half a century passes by!
2 peter 3:8 - "...one day is with jehovah jw.borg as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

I never did believe that only JW would be saved because they cannot read the hearts of people. That alone should have woken me up sooner...

Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era
by Pedro ini'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.
was there pressure from outside?
were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

Bribie_"why did the GB push them?" Just my theory: they are puppets of handlers for the "new world order", "build back better" ,"sustainable earth" agenda ( aka depopulation) AND according to some tax reports that have been posted online-a trust from which they benefit has stock in big pharma

Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself
by TheScientist inthis topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.
many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.
in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".

DF is likely what is keeping them as lively as they are...There would be a mass exit if dropped...the pimo would be out in a flash. Ok, so you may think people would be more likely to come into JWlite if DF dropped...they may would come, but feel free to leave without repercussions and leave they would once they would wake up...and many would wake up, because pimo wouldn't be afraid to speak ttatt , they would influence others, who influence others and so on.....With the DF threat, the pimo keep quiet because they know they will be ratted out.
