Are Jehovah's Witnesses subtly directing the brothers to have homes with attics?

by was a new boy in

it seems if you have an attic, you'll be safest there..

2/2022 WT: a repeated request & more doubletalk

by neat blue dog in

we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

" well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.

"during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .

zachias

So what might happen (Its-just-around-the-corner") is going to be so profound that as we are a bunch of brain dead dip-sticks we must obey now or we will forget how to obey then..

and .."You will likely do.." seems to me to be some sort of legalistic cop out for them; as if there would be any redress after the gt that is.

and what with the bunker think anyway? Does the almighty and angels have to have jw in a bunker to protect them? What about homes that dont have basements?

The WT brings up the theme of fleeing

by Kosonen in

jw
friends

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-january-2022/those-seeking-jehovah-will-lack-nothing-good/.

this article explains what a modern time application to fleeing might involve in the prophecy jesus told about the last days.. that is a timely reminder.

i think it will become soon possible to flee to australia from the mark of the beast.

So I was at a jw wedding and guess what!

by nowwhat? in

the major topic of conversation was that almost all do not want to go back to the meetings and field service!

and we are talking very zealous and active witnesses!

.

or the wt/gb will create some international scandal in an attempt to frighten the masses back into the fold.

As Australia has been a source of so much distress to the gb with the CARC and the wt here having, been forced, to join the NRS they will excommunicate Australia.

Screen time or Green time..

by zachias in

"girls who spent less than an hour on screens and boys who spent less than 90 minutes on screens were not negatively impacted by it.

but at higher amounts of screen time, their life satisfaction dropped significantly—they were less happy with their lives, and it got worse the more time they spent.

if screen time went above 105 minutes per day for boys or 75 minutes per day for girls, their mental health also got worse.".

direct quote from Epoch times, I believe it deserved a bigger audience. Positive comments welcome.

JW Church is "Uncooperative" in Investigation

by Attewc in

came across this local article in a small town nearby.

video names the church as jw's:.

To any outsiders I have followed the watchtowers appalling culture of denial across the CARC and other countries as well in all cases the victims were told outright or had it strongly suggested to them NOT to call in the Police.

The wt later began to use terms like we would not prevent them (victims) from calling in the Police.

If some one in the US would contact the relevant authrority there in this case and inform them of the wt modus operandi in abuse cases they would be doing the victims a huge favour.
