  Are the G.B.members really good business people ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i was an author of a book i think i would be over the moon if i was guaranteed a sale of around 5 million or more books for my work.. the jehovah`s witnesses have over 8 million members plus relatives that are fringe dwellers who come to the memorial once a year ,.

  so what a gold mine they have been sitting on as a publishing house .. why didn`t they keep publishing books for the faithful ,they could have even upped the price , and the faithful would have paid especially in prosperous country`s in the west.. they could have milked this venture for years to come as the faithful would have bought anything they would have published .. and their prophets (profits) would have soared ,literally and figuratively for many more years to come ..

  The jws of my generation (20s) don't read their books. Never have, never will. They know that, thus the reason why they stopped printing tons of publications. They are aware our generation is the beginning of their end, even if we get baptized at 10 years of age, we will still leave when we turn 15 - 18. Only a few are printed for the Overlapping Generation, to keep them content and make sure that their WILLS stay in the WT's name when they die.l

  They don't have a gold-mine anymore, that goose died when they introduced the Overlapping generation.

  Watchtower Nov 3 2018 All about God and his feelings

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a subject that the wt has covered many times.

  it uses the example of human feelings as a basis to understand god.. for instance: under the heading "does god notice you?

  ", it goes into great detail of about what a woman feels when she bonds with her child.

  Jehovah is a genocidal murderer but he's also a loving and just god at the same time

  The End of World War 1 was Exactly 100 Years Ago

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is so amazing that the end of wwi was signed exactly 100 years ago!

  and in just a few more hours, at 11:00am on 11 november 2018, paris time, the combat actually stopped!

  (the war wasn´t officially over until 1919).it is such a historic moment, for the entire world, but also for jw´s, and for exjw´s.for almost the entire length of the war, the witnesses thought that the war was the prelude to armageddon.

  the "generation" doctrine:
  
  In 1981, they defined it as "anyone who was 10 years or older at the beginning of WWI". There are only 6 people alive right now who fit that definition.

  So it's still possible the end might come -

  Elders' new direction.

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's been a change.

  a rather big one.

  and the kevin bunkers of the world beware.. jw elders no longer need to "turn the other cheek".. in the governing bastard's desperation, they have given a new directive to elders.

  Two elders will approach an "apostate" who is in the kingdumb hall. They are not to touch him physically, however, if the person strikes out first, then it's open season baby. Put the hurt on the boy.

  What if he has a gun and shoots first!

  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  Whatever new change will be, it will involve some sort of scheme to bring in more money. They are probably thinking right now;

  "How can we bring in more money from those morons"

  Can you ever see a time when Govt`s of this world will attempt to abolish all religions ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we are now in the 21st century of our common era with its insights into the potential of what can be achieved in the near future to benefit mankind for years to come .. the co-operation of governments around the world on so many levels has never been better than it is today and it is at least encouraging to see this .. whether it has to do with the climate , the environment ,food production ,safe water for all ,and the better health for all in the near future, and in the future space exploration.

  however the problem today is still religion !

  in its many extreme forms that divides us in no ways that politics divide us .. politicians learn how to compromise and work with their opponents for the greater good ,whereas religions don`t.. religions divide humans like no politicians ever did well not to the extremes religions will go anyway.. is their going to come a time in history when governments politicians say enough is enough and try attempt to abolish religion ?.

  Government can never abolish people who believe in crazy things. Getting rid of religion can only be done when people themselves start seeing the evidence that religion is a man made construct. People have to individually stop believing in fantasies and start living their life in realities.

  Don't have and idea how long that is going to take, but it will get here sooner or later. Can't imagine a million years from now if the human race is still here, that people will still believe that Jesus will soon come to judge everyone.

  We are referencing those who are killing in mass murders . Most of those who have done this are deranged or mentally unbalanced

  A lot of these mass murders are not mentally unbalance or derange, they are just bad people who like to do bad things. And they will use opportunities afforded them to just kill a bunch of people.Opportunities like availability of guns, war, secrecy and etc. A lot of these mass murders are intelligent, educated, family oriented, articulate, but they are just bad people.

  Dating another Woke exJW or no?

  by caves in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i find that the people here speak in a way i can understand because we have one thing in common if nothing else.

  so my question is , would it be easier to date someone that has been a jw and woke up or not?.

  i would love for someone to 'get it' without having to explain much.

  There are no guarantees in this life that dating a former jw who is awake or not awake-or dating a never been a jw is going to work out. In the congregation I used to go to, there were people who were married to unbelievers for fifty years and seem to be happy, then there were jws who married jws and were divorced within a few years. And there were jws who had been married to jws for fifty years also and were happy. Then I was reading not to long ago that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have never married but have lived together for over 35 years.

  More than anything, I think it has to do with a person finally getting to a point where they learn how to love and treat another person. If both of them are there at that point, it will work no matter what the other person believes. That's just life.

  One thing that you don't hear much in the news is when a legal register gun owner does go in and stop someone from carrying out their evil deeds even further.

  Like this lady who is a registered license off duty police who because she carried is allowed to carry a gun in public was able to stop a man from killing possibly several women and children.
