When someone says 'Watchtower informants' , that I think isn't true. Not top echelon is gonna leak any information. It's someone with really, really powerful hacker tools. But it's welcome, that way we know what's happening inside. Thanks.!

Armageddon started...
by mikeflood injust joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.
i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.
trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.

Happening right now, US, GB and France are bombing Syria. Last Thursday CIA director said: "A handful of weeks ago, the Russians met their match. A couple of hundred were killed". The US ambassador to the UN said: Russia "will never be our friend, the US will slap them when we need to". The Russian ambassador to the US said a moment ago that "there are gonna be consequences". So maybe the Russians are really weak.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses always answer questions through the bible?
by MarieChii inhi.. recently i've been researching jehovah's witnesses and their beliefs and found out that they don't believe in blood transfusions.
so, i've asked one of my friends who is a jw as to what is the reason for this, and so far, they had always directed me to a bible verse that is in their bible.. clearly, i wasn't getting anywhere and so far, it's pretty much frustrating to even make my friend give me reasonable reason.
when i was getting somewhere, even a smidgen, they would answer with a question.

"Beware of people of one book". Trying to convince a 'versed' JW of something against the things that he o she believes from the Bible is an impossible mission. You're gonna lost, whatever you tries.

Russia threatens to shutdown missiles sent to Syria and destroy their launchpads. Trump tweets 'be ready for the missiles, they're gonna be new and smart. US & Russia envoys to the U.N. exchange kisses and shake hands before meeting. It's like a reality show except isn't. In WT words I'm just giving up.

The destruction of "Babylon the Great"
by Sour Grapes ini read the talk outline #49 for this summer's regional convention entitled "future events that will require courage-the destruction of babylon the great.".
the jdubs live in a comic book world.
babylon the great is all false religious organizations and she is destroyed by those she seeks to control.

Yea, but there's something that always had puzzled me. In Revelation it says something about Kings and Merchaders wailing because Babylon the Great is destroyed, 'in just one hour'. So, why the WT has said that all the political forces, represented as the Beast, are gonna destroy Babylon the Great?.

July 2018 WT points
by The Fall Guy inpage 16, par.
18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?
if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

I put my bet it's about changes in preaching. There's no anymore pressure to get off literature, so preaching could be informal. No more counting hours and other stuff. Saves a lot of bureaucracy at headquarters too. You could be active or inactive. Just saying.

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!
by nowwhat? ini have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

The thing that 'worries' me is the lack of enough 'espiritual food'. I mean it used to be a lot of magazines and books with varied information to keep the RF entertained. Now almost no magazines y almost no new books. It's like they slashed to much the writers department. Their message it's to much reiterative, like the ones on top just give up. Oversimplification could run people away too.

Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?
by Sour Grapes init appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.
tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.
under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

Tithing is such a terrible idea, it would be great, charity dances for the worldwide preaching fund or...why not? Bingos for the local needs!. Just kidding. Ideas for GB 4.0
