  Are Birthdays now OK?

  by rickroll in

  i see so many old and young dubbers on fb who are wishing each other a happy bday.

  when i was in the cult it was a huge no no.

  is this a doctrinal change or is it just a bunch of dubbers who are bending the rules?.

  ? Birthdays are a big no, no if you're officially rank and file..... they're probably members of the ' overlaping second Big Crowd of sympathizers '.

  deutsche bank, a german bank, laying off 18,000 thousand people, about one fifth of their employees.

  they said it has a us$ 49 trillion derivatives exposure....and many connections with other big banks.

  it could be like 2008 crisis but much bigger.

  It remembers me about Ezequiel 7:19 "and they are gonna throw their money on the streets".

  I wonder, maybe the WT guys made horrible financial decisions too, and that's why they keep asking for money.

  INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.

  at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.

  we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

  Want speculation? Let's do it. For the end of Babylon the Great, something like this. The Ayatollahs in Iran and it's crazy pursuit of a nuclear bomb get cut short. The US, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran become at war and as a result Iran religious capital Quom get obliterated. Iran retaliate destroying Mecca and attacking Jerusalem. Other demented terrorists out of craziness destroy the Vatican.

  That gets you 'Babylon the Great destroyed in one hour'.

  Of course this kind of wishfully thinking is not going to happen. There's too much security around the world.

  The thing that worries me is how the Borg is gonna react if there's some kind of 'incident', are they gonna start a message of doom? Are they going to circle the wagons? That's what the article says too.

  Why this obsession with Standardisation?

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. jw

  the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.

  it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.

  others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".

  Well, standard procedures work for Burger King and alikes, but for a religion....I don't think so... it seems like a Chinese Cultural Revolution to me the way the Borg is making with KH and meetings this days.

  Should Reparations Be Given To Relatives of Slaves?

  some people say that’s the least we should do while others say no way!

  what do you think about dispensing reparations?

  No reparations needed...here there's a social welfare system for everybody in need of it, no matter which race are you. On the funny side, I'm 3.5 % sub-saharian, so should I get 3.5 % of a complete reparation? I mean, we share more than we think.

  Peace and Security

  by Golden Earring in

  2. beliefs

  now that the (king of the south) has “come all the way to his end…” (daniel 11:45b) in both human investigative/criminal and now divine terms as have all kings and rulers…michael can "stand up" (daniel 12:1).

  (1 thessalonians 5:3) “for when they... shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” kjv.

  Not peace and security, just war with Iran around the corner. Just watch today's news.

  What Jesus' Return Would Mean for JWs, According to the Bible

  by Afterburn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the last day, jesus returns, and 8,000,000 jehovah's witnesses are shocked that he didn't return invisibly.

  remembering the account of stephen, they know if they can see him, they can speak directly to him, so they line up proudly to be rewarded for all they've done for his brothers.. "lord, lord," they happily cry out, "just look what all we have done in your name!".

  "i know," jesus says, "i saw.

  According to the Borg last version, Jesus is gonna come to make the separation of the people between goats and sheeps, that's marks the beggining of the so called great tribulation. This is the main reason behind the discipline of the JW. They have the mentality that this world is in the brink of disaster.

  “Bablyon the Great has Fallen”

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what have you not heard lately?.

  .... no discussion on “babylon’s fall”.

  by 1919 it was apparent that jehovah had passed judgment on christendom​—and indeed on all false religion.

  It sounds like an explanation Vanderhoven7, but remember Revelation was written about 81 - 96 EC .... and Jerusalem destruction was 70 EC . I think Revelation is a masterpiece as a literary piece... just saying.

  similar to that recent convention video, this illustrates a mother ignoring her disfellowshipped daughter's phone call.

  Let's play hard ball.... let's say a new light appears !

  1 Cor 5:11 ...."you must not associate with somebody with claims to be a brother or a sister....but is a sinner, etc etc."

  So if somebody claims NOT to be a sister o brother anymore.... let's NOT shun that person! That person is like a worldly person again and we don't shun them, we just use common sense. Problem solved.
