I always thought waiting to get reinstated didn't go along with the idea that God is ready to forgive. Well, Looks like God was/is, but the elders liked the power of judging others. As to marking, that will come easy for the judgemental JW. I remember well, before c19, I was often invited to go to lunch with some of the "friends". I was vocal about the jabs not being something God would approve and I never got them. When the lockdowns let up, I heard of the people in the group I used to go with getting together, but I never got another invite. I had been marked because I didn't drink the koolaid.

skim through the pages, and on page 5, I just thought the artwork on Jesus's now was very odd...is my imagination running wild because of other posting about artwork on this forum?

I think this is a JW reasoning on that scripture but I tend to think it correct. The earth quaked. The tombs opens. Bodie became apparent. There is nothing I read in the verses that suggest these bodies were raised from the dead, but rather, the dead bodies appeared having been thrown out of the graves. If those bodies had been made aive, isn't it likely more details on the subject would have been provided. Why were they afraid? If dead ones were coming back to life, wouldn't someone have written about how the people were rejoiceing?

so I think it was an newcastor who used the word irregardless for the word regardless, and somehow the word irregardless ( which wasn't a word? ) has stuck in people's vocabulary

TonusOH...some of the questions I ask them, they ask me back, like would Jesus do that-as in expect money from the government? and I would say no. Sometimes when they queried back, I would pin them down with what do you think. At anyrate, they were in agreement with what I was saying about religions making money from the governments and investments in war equipment UNTIL I told them JW did it and it was how do you know and they started to down play it. I hope the conversation sticks with them and annoys them into research. I think they felt comfortable with my questions because they were clueless that JWs were who I was speaking of because I would say, what do you think of a religion that would..........?

JWs obtaining fake degrees from a US institution to teach English as a foreign language
by truthseeker inteaching english as a foreign language in asian countries is quite popular for those looking to travel and explore and make some money.
if you have the tefl qualification you're pretty much good to go and don't need a degree.i don't know how lucrative these overseas jobs are but i do know one jw from my congregation in england who decided to move to the caribbean and teach english as a foreign language.
i'm not knocking this individual.

I had heard the JW get visas to go to other countries to preach by going in as teachers ( sign language comes to mind ) It's an opening they wouldn't otherwise have to get into the countries legally. So this "school" appears to be one step along the way. I wouldn't be surprised to learn a JW operates it. It really boils down to getting a visa under false pretenses if someone isn't actually going in to teach language-which those who think they are going where the need is greater are not!

that outlandish REV book we studied should have woken us up. I remember thining something along the lines of how do they know this applies to JW ( like the locust with the stinging tails being a stinging message that the witnesses brings and the witnesses being everywhere so they couldn't avoid it. ( something like that-it's been years ) But with that book and many others they twist scriptures into knots to make it fit the witnesses. Many times I thought this is just conjecture yet I was guilty of group think. As far as deep study an WT article, they have dumbed those articles down so a 1-3 grade student can get it. ( See Ted Run. Obey Governing Body )

I am thinking I was one of their more interesting encounters in the invite work! So do you think they go tell some of their friends of the weirdo they met today or do they keep their mouth shut rather than relate what i said? It is possible they will figure out I am "apostate" to them. Maybe not! I wish they would come back. I have more to say.

Blondie's "highlights" from the May 2024 Study WT Paragraphs 1-10
by blondie ini have not read a wt for many years, but a comment on jwn prompted me to check out this one study article #19. i was stunned, they addressed many observations i have made in the "comments you will not hear" over the years.
this segment will contain comments on the section called what we do not know paragraphs 1 through 10. i will post what we do know” in another original post covering paragraphs 11 through 17”.
1) definition of "king of the south" and "king of the north.

I couldn't help but zero in on point 6 about community responsibility...I wonder how Many sheep have died , been injured with illnesses leading to an earlier death because of the coercion to take the vx. No apologies!! The hearings with Fauci prove what a farce it all was. Law suits have proved it wasn't really a vx. I guess they aren't sorry being they benefit from big pharma stocks.
