so i grew up as a witness but i’m no longer active, i have some family that still practices very seriously.
but i don’t want to ask them my question.
but what does the bible and teaching’s of jw’s say about early hominids?
according to the Bible, animals were created according to their own kind.. and He created the man and the woman -and they reproduce according to their kind....Plain to read in the book of Genesis...
now if you want to go down the evolution rabbit hole....I personally don't believe it. If a fish became a bird or however the theory goes, why are there still fish? and so on and on and on. ( ok, so some will think me ignorant...I am good with that.)
i watched a video ( can't think which one now.
)..and the presenter said he had been given unverifiable information from an elder's wife that the elders needed to have the "jabs" in order to attend elder school in person now and there wasn't to be a zoom, and if they didn't have the jabs, they needed to contact the branch.
( my thought: when will these toothless lions (elders) wake up and be real men and use their god given intelligence and quit allowing the manipulation?
The video that was removed from youtube .was Died Suddenly ( stew peters) I noted someone has posted it elsewhere. I just watched another video about the spike ( up 19% when the expected variation between years in 1-2% ) of funerals since c 19--but many not related to c 19, so what? connect the dots....and then The GB pushes the "flock" and the elders to take this substance. The data out there shows it is a killer. ( some choose not to believe that-your choice)
didn't peter say that god is not partial?
(acts 10:34) the 'fartful slave' in warwick disagrees!.
w11 8/15 p. 24 par.
along this line of thought...only the "anointed" inherit the earth...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTwRlsv4AvQ

lots of evidence showing the deadliness of the vx and yet they still coerce taking them...Here is a new video came out- and no, this isn't conspiracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iSk_I0Dils

I watched another 3 part video of what happened at elder school and the first part was about how they had to be in obedience to those taking the lead in "God's organization". These ones have extra portions of force feed poisoned "spiritual food" to keep the congregations in line ( my thought )
are there songs that seem to speak to you?
maybe especially when leaving the church and losing friends and family.
i still pause when i hear hennly's heart of the matter.
during divorce...Rod Stewart: Reason to Believe...and then years later when married to a bipolar person who made life traumatic and funny and interesting at the same time- a song called White Flag. Now one that speaks to me Is Johnny Depp's: this is a song for Hedy Lamar ( it's about being canceled by others...it fits )
i have just started to steep the mincemeat for my mince pies in dark rum .
christmas is a big deal in my family and circle of friends.
however among ex jws it's a bit different or so l understand.
I grew up celebrating xmas.-even had parts in xmas programs. I remember my first part when I was 6 years old. A group of kids spelled out greetings from the church platform. I went first and mom told me to be loud so every one could hear. I started a bit early with my lines:" Greetings. I'll say Merry Xmas to you and wish you much of cheer, for happy birthday to Jesus, he's our savior dear." (61 years ago) After the program, Santa was in the church passing out stockings of candy,etc...I got overlooked. ( I must have been bad, lol!) Anyway, Santa being in the church shows up the falseness of the whole affair. But if one left JWs because of the falsehoods they found in the religion, how can they celebrate a false birthday? We don't know Jesus's birthday. Do you celebrate it just to defy the JW's? Some people who have left the JWs not only go about defying them, but also God Almighty and the Bible. Celebrating xmas does that. Maybe you want to be family inclusive....ok...but don't make that which is pagan into a holy affair...that doesn't work if you are honest.
here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .
1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.
2. no going to home coming football games.
don't work for or in a church, don't sell tobacco products , don't wear short skirts or tight pants, or low cut tops,
jw teach that at the "last supper", a covenant for a kingdom was instituted ( as i understand it ) and so it was only for the "anointed" who would become these kings.
if we look at matt 26:27,28 ...taking the cup..."drink out of it, all of you, for this means my 'blood of the covenant', which is to be poured out in behalf of the many for forgiveness of sins.
( i brought this up in another posting.
On this very occasion Jesus took his eleven faithful apostles into a covenant for the Kingdom, even as we read: “You are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.” Other scriptures show that sharing this glory with Jesus and his eleven faithful apostles will be 143,989 others, for a total of 144,001. These all have part in the first resurrection and reign as kings and priests for a thousand years. It is only such as these that are entitled to partake of the Lord’s evening meal.—Luke 22:28-30; Rev. 14:1, 3; 20:4-6. ///quote from W 61 3/15 pages 165-168 ( the deceit of the WT! more lies :WS 14 10/15 14 The new covenant creates the nation of spiritual Israel and is the legal basis for anointed ones to become “joint heirs with Christ.” But how can anointed ones rule with Jesus as kings and priests in heaven? Another legal agreement allows for that...///when Matt 26:28 plainly tells us the new covenant is about forgiveness of sins.
i was wondering if some who may have been in the judgement seat ( so to speak ) had a wake-up call while judging someone who was defending leaving jw.
( or maybe it was from reading a letter of disassociation.
) .
