  jehober "always'" protects his 'loyal servants'?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  2. beliefs

  last week i watched the docuseries on prime video called “the last narc”.

  it was mainly about the notorious mexican guadalajara drug cartel during the 70’s and 80’s and a united states dea agent, kiki camerena, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in guadalajara, mexico in 1984. this is a very well-known and haunting event here in the usa.. however, there was also about a 7-8 minute segment during the docuseries that graphically detailed the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 4 jehovah’s witnesses that also took place just days before kiki camerena was taken.

  the jw’s were 2 married couples, us citizens, dennis and rose carlson, ben and pat mascarenas.

  This is not a current dilemma.

  In the first century, Herod Agrippa was able to kill James, but when he imprisoned Peter, an angel saved him.

  err--wont the users need electricity ?...and be on the internet ?

  The branch loads usb sticks with videos and content and sends it to the congregation, who then load it to the jw box, which the publishers connect and download into their devices.

  It works as a normal device and can be charged through usb, adapter or power bank.

  Can you send the source for this where they have asked people to donate $75 for it?

  Turns out, you can buy the same exact thing on Amazon for $45!!!

  Have you tried checking if Amazon delivers it to those areas in Africa?

  Also, the article on jw.org clearly says that the router is purchased from a commercial firm

  Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anybody know what this message will contain ?

  is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?

  or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

  With all the construction projects planned for the next decade, it is unlikely that a Jonestown scenario will ever come. JW's have three important things to survive:

  1. millions of free volunteer members2. Pristine real estate (even though they are selling KH's, they are buying a lot of new properties that are not reported in public)3. Full support of the US government
  Pull any one of the three, and things may start crumbling.

  Let's hope that our hatred for JW's don't persuade us to support what Russia is doing.

  Another suspect JW experience

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest jwdotorg experience tells of using video conferencing to hold congregation meetings inside jail for prisoners.

  it says that the prison director himself and his wife have also started attending the zoom meetings and quotes him as saying.

  “these meetings are of great importance for the spiritual and emotional well-being of the prisoners during this period of social isolation.

  I dunno, maybe I'm a little suspicious but JWs have been known to pad out their experiences to say the least.

  neat blue dog,

  The name of the prison is given there in the image in the article on jw.org: Complejo Penitenciario Pampa De Las Salinas Provincia De San Luis

  You can contact them and get verification.

  If a person decides not to join the JW religion, does it mean he is intelligent?

  Disfellowshipped for NOT activating my camera on ZOOM meeting

  by Aleph in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hey so i won't go too much into the details though there would be so much more to say....in a nutshell, you are repentant but not enough so we disfellowship you ....i asked, can you clarified this "not enough repentant" please ?as one of the reason of not being repentant : " you didn't put on your camera during zoom meetings !!!

  " they yelled at me, like a bunch of wolves against a sheep....so :.

  - no scriptural basis.- abuse of power.- my phone can't handle to have its camera on more than 20 minutes.then they yelled " jehovah does want you in the congregation" !like you are not welcome here....strangely to me, isaiah 1:18 and the story of the prodigal son tells a complete different story....well the whole bible is about love forgiveness and repentance !!

  Aleph, you said

  As one of the reason of not being repentant : " You didn't put on your camera during zoom meetings !!!" they yelled at me, like a bunch of wolves against a sheep...

  So the camera not being on was just one of the reasons. What were the other reasons that they gave you?

  Are we missing some important details from your story?

  Not that I am interested to go into your personal life, but the title of your post is too sensational to believe.
