" And how does mistaken interpretations of the Bible by JW falsify the Bible or disqualify JW as God’s agency?" Mistaken interpretations don't disqualify the Bible, but if JW is really God's agency, there would not have been all of these false prophesies that you are calling interpretations.

How Will They End 1914 Teaching?
by EmptyInside ini'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

The way I see it is either you believe the Bible or you don't...there isn't any point in speculation. The Bible says God's ways are higher than our ways. If the Bible is incorrect, then mankind is most to be pitied...for what hope beyond this life? ( the billionaires have the answer: upload your brain into a cyborg/robot and live forever.) Where did the thought of living forever come from? The Bible says God put time indefinite( eternity) ( Ecc 3:11) into man's heart.

some parents are ego tripping! I quickly scanned that article -particularly near the photo--what I got was she wanted to be an unbaptized publisher and was approved. Did I miss something in my quick scan. I knew a 3 year old in a car group. It was very cold and a decision was being made as to who would take the door. The 3 year old said he would go. He didn't care about the cold. He just wanted to preach all over the world.

For JW's, the 'ORG' is more important than Jesus Christ
by BoogerMan inin the november 2022 study watchtower, "jehovah's organization" (or variants) is repeated at least 37 times.. the word 'organization' - like 'governing body,' 'trinity,' hell-fire,' & 'immortal soul,' - doesn't exist in the holy scriptures.. interestingly, jesus christ is mentioned only twice in all of the study articles - as an aside..

That's right because you cannot come to know the truth unless you go through the GB ( WT 81 12/1 page 27) -it doesn't matter the Jesus said he was the Way, The Truth, and the Life.

here is a scenario: the older GB die off, and are replaced with younger ones who declare as well intended as the old leadership was, they got it wrong because they were delusional and God had not use the old gang at all, but his spirit is now upon them, the REAL faithful slave.

My experience as a JW for 37 years. I dogded the bullet that many of you experienced .
by smiddy3 inhi friend`s ,i just had to share my experience ,and surely there must be others on this board who had similar experiences that i had.. i was a jw for 37 years ,been out for about 20 years or so .however we as a family never had the problems that so many of you seem to have had .. none of our, my wife and i , immediate families have ever been jw`s.. i converted when i was about 20 years old in about 1960 and as i say remained in converted my wife and brought up two sons in the "truth" for about 37 years .. my 1st and 2nd congregations i attended in melbourne aust.
were very conservative and not very wholesome looking back.. however moving interstate to s.e.queensland in redcliffe was a whole new experience.. it was far more liberal and relaxed.. i befriend a couple of elders and ms `s who enjoyed an ale or two which was right up my alley.. and we went on camping expeditions on both fraser and moreton islands ,both just off the coast of brisbane.. i was a ms for many years there never pioneered or served where the need was great and always had steady employment in the world which probably kept my head above the clouds so to speak.. none of my family ,wife two boys and their wives are jw`s ,we have all left many years ago.. anybody else had negative effects of being a witness for many years ?.

I was in 50 years and I used to tell my closet friend in the local congregation that I have no good stories. Even those that I would have thought good in my youth, when I look back on it, It is just older brothers and sisters taking undue advantage of me.

This week's Watchtower Study - don't complain if ...
by eyeslice indon't complain if you get kicked out of bethel after 23 years (it's really a blessing to be assigned back to the field) and don't complain if they sell your kingdom hall even if you have just invested your time and energy renovating it.. so encouraging?.

I knew a couple who sold out and went to Bethel, having been being assured from a higher up, they could stay until the end.( they based their decision on this "brothers" word.) Both of them developed some health issues in a very short time and they were sent home-save they had no home and had to scramble to find a place to live and work. I do think they may have had a bit of profit from their home sale, because they ended up with a used mobile home for a while.

New blood card system in March
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .
the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.
i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.

I will agree with indoubtbigtime as to a blood transfusion...they had their dangers before ( AIDS , hepatitis, etc, before.)..and now those who have been vxx have peculiar formations in their blood. And say what you want about the WT ( JW) , it is the Bible that says to "abstain from blood" and links it to health, when the end of the list of things to abstain from says " good health to you". This separating of the blood and allowing fractions is like saying, you can have butter, but don't drink any milk.

JWs at Culture Fest
by peacefulpete inthe state university where we live has cultural festivals educating the public about art, food and music of the minorities in the community.
it is also an opportunity for some to generate a little income selling their wares and food.
the jws have successfully put up a booth right in the campus building and used it to actively proselytize and distribute literature.

I found this article, how be it from about 10 years ago. https://clarencesisk.com/watchtower-investments/ I didn't even go to the end of the article, but assuming the writer knew of which he wrote, WT had/has? stock in bot J&J and Pfizer. If they still do, little wonder Jehovah knew to tell them to push the poison. Another investment appeared to be Blackrock Enterprises. And then there are the weapon's of war builders, and studios that produce movies that are questionable...( you would be called into the backroom if you watched ) and Monstanto who try to control the food of the world. Just a few. I looked to see if I could find something more current, but a short search didn't reveal anything. I would like to point out, it was only after I left the JW that I learned they had all of this stock. I thought their income was only from donations. I didn't realize people's donations were going into stocks warmongers.
