  Yeah, for some people he's a hero, justifying shitty life choices and poor moral behavior. They pay a few $ to tell themselves it's "OK"

  It’s all about milking the JWs messed up his sexuality somehow as he wasn’t allowed to view porn or dirty movies as a child. Like as if this somehow gave him an excuse to be sexting underage girls and saying “all I wanted was a snog and a cuddle”

  dirty old man 🤮

  If he is gay or another name I don’t know. But yes something is not right. He is obviously perverted and has admitted to such.

  he blames his JW upbringing of course.

  those letters he wrote to that underage girl while he was married showed he was messed up. He said he just wanted to cuddle and snog her. This is so sick for a middle aged man to be talking to an underage girl like that.

  Indoctrinate a lie until it become a "truth"

  february 2025 study wt doubles down on the org's lie that being killed by a guinness truck etc.

  3 "jesus likened sins to “debts.” when we sin, it is as if we incur a debt to jehovah.

  we have to pay the penalty for the sin.

  It the new light recently clearly said it doesn’t matter if you die before or are alive when Armageddon starts?

  Br Jackson said sarcastically “would Jehovah really say no this person died so he will make it but this person was still alive at Armageddon so they won’t make it, then he said really? And again he sarcastically said “really”?

  in the past, we used to hear talks on:.

  avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.

  why evolution cannot possibly be true.

  I wonder what would happen if an elder kept saying no to any assignment he was asked to do? Would he get taken off for not any assignments?

  What would it like to see

  by JohnR1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what i would like to see and maybe will get there in about another ten years is being a jw is a rewarding thing that enriches your life.. just like other religions out there you may not know the entire truth and maybe not quite right many of the beliefs but to have to idea of a belief centres and stabilises you.. i would like jws to be able to celebrate birthdays and maybe even other holidays if they choose to and not be judged by those who choose not to.. i would like jws to be allowed to have different interpretations of scripture and everyone is happy to agree to disagree and be able to say to each other yes maybe that interpretation is nearer the truth.

  we just don’t know.. i would like new members of the gb to issue an apology for previous members getting so many things wrong.. they need to come out and say they were wrong about 1914 this date has no scriptural significance and the same is true of 1919. jws were not chosen in 1919 as the one and only true religion.. we just don’t know about so many things and it takes humility to admit we were wrong.. i would like to see even more lightening up on stupid restrictions like young people being allowed to have a varied friends and activities that are not with jws only..

  This is actually happening right now in real time.

  most JWs ignore shunning of late. They have resumed contact. Most ignore direction from the GB.

  most JWs hardly do any ministry they just go for the social aspect.

  most kind of celebrate birthdays but hide it. They make excuses calling it something else but still celebrating it.

  most don’t believe 1914 doctrinal teachings and not 1919 one true religion was picked either.

  It’s also getting much easier to qualify to be an MS or elder. And very difficult to be removed.

  so many appointed men never go on ministry and most meeting are on zoom. They also keep cancelling assignments or say they need a break from any assignment. If you say you have stress or anxiety then you can come off any assignments but it’s very hard to be removed from your position.

  there is a real need for speakers. The public talk coordinator keeps asking for brothers to give talks but the pool of speakers is getting smaller.

  sometimes we have the same visiting speakers over and over again.

  the congregation is starting to notice and say why don’t we get any new brothers it’s the same few we get visiting

  march 3-9 theocratic school material is something else.. i fully get that there are 2 major sides of thinking regarding that topic.

  but really from their own lying mouths it was a personal decision that should have been respected.

  this was not reality.

  Interesting they are playing old handpicked Covid GB updates. They are risking JWs thinking for themselves about all the vax pushing and David Splain saying “do you really think Jehovah would let the GB and full time servants take this vaccine if it was harmful “

  this item is intrieging

  
  

  7. Demonstrate Trust in Jehovah’s Organization

  (15 min.) Discussion.

  It may be relatively easy to trust direction from God’s inspired Word of truth, the Bible. However, it can be more challenging to trust direction from imperfect humans who are taking the lead in Jehovah’s organization, especially if we do not understand or agree with the direction.
