  "Vaccines are filthy pus" - said the "faithful slave"

  by BoogerMan in

  "death after vaccination: rhhe dayton, ohio herald, contains a picture of a beautiful little girl and the following pathetic account of what happened as a result of filling this little one’s veins with filthy pus, in place of the pure blood which god made to circulate there.

  " .

  from golden age, march 24, 1926. https://jws-library.one/?file=data/1926/g_e_19260324/g_e_19260324.html#bookmark22.

  And to think that quote from 1926 was just a few years after Jesus personally chose these guys to be his chosen leaders of the one true right religion🤩

  if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.

  i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.

  now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

  Other high control cults would understand to a degree but they are all different.

  If you once believed in living forever in paradise and all the other teachings then you don’t mind wasting your life for the watchtower. You don’t realise it’s a way to control you. Then you do feel very bitter once you realise you have been conned.

  I feel mostly sorry for very older ones who gave their lives to this lie. It’s probably best for them to carry on believing it. Imagine on your deathbed regret if your wasted life. It would be a much better taking the blue pill and thinking you are instantly going to wake up in the reserection.

  I hate the way they talk.

  what is with the jw cadence when they speak.

  do they think they are teaching people ?

  they sound like pro wrestlers doing promos or shakespearean actors.

  Most churches supported the vaccines maybe not as strongly pushing them as JWs. Only a few said caution when it comes to vaccines. That church the GB were ridiculing went further than just saying caution they actually said avoid the harmful jabs as they are not safe. That church was right the JWs got it wrong and this will be the biggest threat to them.

  The GB said it comes down to this, do you believe Jehovah is backing us on this or not?

  I remember the governing body saying that about the church in one of their covid updates. I can remember thinking this is going to come back and bite them.

  So that church they were talking about didn’t take the incentives to push the vaccine on their followers and the GB did.

  I remember thinking of there is evidence that these vaccines were not safe then than would be it for watchtower.

  There is now huge evidence that this church the GB were ridiculing were correct and the GB we’re seriously wrong on this.

  That church protected their congregations and the GB harmed everyone who they told to take it

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  One brother said if you are at a birthday event and offered cake, just say can I have it later. Don’t eat it there but have it later is ok..

  this is crazy

  Who will be killed at Armageddon?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.

  but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?

  it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.

  Before the 2023 AGM the doctrine was only baptised would not be killed, Tony Morris said something about maybe we could hope children not old enough to be baptised may just about make it through but only just. Everyone else dies just like the Noah’s ark story.

  The big change at 2023 AGM is that we should not be dogmatic and we don’t know. So the big push to get baptised is not so essential anymore.

  Particularly now with the largest new light ever in my opinion - You can wait to see if JWs were the truth or not. It doesn’t matter if you are physically in or not until the end comes. If what the GB predict does indeed happen and they are proved correct then you could come back last minute.

  This changes everything. It’s probably the most monumental change in the history of the organisation.

  Now there is no need to waste your life following the GB and sacrificing so much for them. Just wait to see if they are right.

  If there is a cry of peace and security and then all governments ban all religions and all the other events they say are going to happen then start coming back to meetings and take them up on their last minute repentance offer.

  By the way I think there is zero chance the GB are who they claim to be and I think they are wrong about all this. They inherited some crazy ideas from the old men who are long since dead and have to try mental gymnastics to escape these crazy ideas.

  FDS 1919 Declaration Date

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did rutherford have any "prophetic" justification for 1919 as the date that jesus declared him (ahem, the wt organisation) the fds?

  such as some calculation attached to 1914?

  that in 1919, jesus would come looking for his true organisation?.

  It was the 3.5 year thing that they came up with through some obscure reasoning. End of 1914 plus three and a half years was the beginning of 1919.

  Dont ask me how I was ever stupid enough to believe all this total nonsense

  Well we were told 99% of full time servants were fully vaccinated. Maybe the top dogs were the 1% who stayed fully unvaccinated.

  The truth is we are all unvaccinated unless you had a booster in the last six months.

  If 1914 gets tossed

  by Leathercrop in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it feels like the change in reporting of hours becomes a fundamentally bigger deal every day.

  the weight and importance placed on quantity was enormous, and now it's just gone.

  even tho most witnesses really didn't keep "accurate" records so to speak hehehe.... this could very well be a precursor to even bigger doctrinal changes, like 1914. damn, would would happen then?.

  I wonder when was the last time they repeated the 1914 77week 2000+ years from 607 doctrine? Should be easy enough to check. Is the strategy not not address the problem and hope if it’s never mentioned the problem will go away?
