I remember years ago at a Convention a missionary sister re-enacting an experience. I don't recall where she had been assigned, but the greeting used was "G'day! Yo belly go good, mon?"

I can't enter into the historical discussion, but if I remember correctly the Insight On The Scriptures and previous Aid To Bible Understanding had a long, convoluted, and controversial background. With so many subjects covered, and sources involved, it's not surprising there are inconsistencies and contradictions in it. The current Governing Body gives the impression that they don't even care to read it, let alone revise or correct it.

I was going to write a new topic ... but now I just can't be bothered
by no-zombie ini was going to write a new topic but now i just can't be bothered ... and i'll tell you why.. on my facebook feed a few days ago, i saw an interview of a couple of onlyfans girls, who said that they were active christians that attended church weekly.
and while i was going to spend some time writing about the virtues of our faith's strict moral standards ... i now understand that i'd only be flamed as a watchtower apologist.. that being said, out of the approximately 4 million onlyfan girls out there ... it obvious, that none are jehovah's witnesses..

The point of existence and how it refutes the Trinity
by slimboyfat inrowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury gave an interesting answer to the somewhat stark question, whatās the point of us existing?
as a christian, my starting point is that we exist because the most fundamental form of activity, energy, call it what you like, that is there, is love.
that is, itās a willingness that the other should be.

I have no comment on The Triniry, but I liked that phrase "...a willingness that the other should be..." calls to mind 'live and let live', 'Do unto others as you would have then do unto you', 'God is Love'....I came to believe that He being complete in himself and happy wanted others to be as well Why that purpose was disrupted by confict and pain, I don't know, and can accept that perhaps we never will. But just to exist is, to use an overworked JW word "a privilege'. I do not defend the Watchtower errors, but it was through that group that I came to know God through His word and came to know the love that sets fear aside..

'Forward You Witnesses' was "revised" several years ago. The lines containing "new order" now say...."Go tell far and wide that the paradise is near...And that soon all its blessings will be here..."

Memorial Talk Training Video 2025 - Part 1
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/4upzvonzg10?si=1bdvv6qzcuj2fo6s.
oh, the joys of being one of jehovahās witnesses, where you get to learn that heaven is a vip lounge for exactly 144,000 peopleāand sorry, everyone else, you're stuck in the āearth foreverā section.
yep, you get to mow grass in paradise while the chosen few float around in immortal glory.

The idea of heaven or hell, with earth as a testing ground always puzzled me, so the Witness view, man was made to live on the earth made sense, scripturally and reasonably. The idea of places in heaven was promised by Jesus to his apostles. So it came to be, when asked "Are you going to Heaven?".. (I seemed to encounter a lot of young evangelicals)...my reply would be " I don't think anyone is Going to Heaven, they have to be Taken there by God, so if he chooses to do that then yes, but it's not for me to decide, nor in my power. Besides where are we living now? Where did God put Adam and Eve to live?...

Watchtower has always operated by using plenty of words yet keeping things only vaguely defined. They've said they "are neither inspired nor infallible" but how do they define inspired? They say they are "spirit directed'...yet I don't recall hearing it put as " holy spirit directed'. The ongoing (for centuries), doctrinal debates among all sorts of religious people, admittedly deep thinkers, show that no one has complete or absolute understanding. And yes, within any sort of framework, including JW, people can and do disagree and protest, but of course also take the consequences.

What are some of the more exceptional self-authenticating claims made by Jehovahās Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 inlet's start the ball rolling with two connected claims.. the religion of jehovahās witnesses is the one true religion.
all other religions are satanic, including all the churches of christendom..

It's been pointed out before, but Geoffrey Jackson's comment can be taken more than one way. He did not say it would "be" quite presumptuous to think they were the only spokesman God is using, but that it would "seem to be", in other words 'To an outside observer it might be viewed as presumptuous, but to us it is not..'...also whatever happened to " the annointed remnant"...the term seems to have gone totally out of use..?

When I was first coming in , in the 1980s there was a lot of 'conspiracy' talk among some evangelical and political groups to beware and fight against a forthcoming "New World Order - One World Government'. Which is why I think Watchtower has stepped away fom using those specific phrases. It's more common now to hear " The New System" or "" New Earth". Though the Bible version still used is, of course, 'The New World Translation'...
