World War 3

by Reservations in

jw

i’m calling it folks, world war 3 looks like it’s a done deal.. belarus has entered ukraine, and nato is involved heavily, just not “boots on the ground”.. will there be a nuclear exchange?

i would have said no 5 days ago, now i’m not so sure.. how will this effect wt?

probably more of the same fear mongering..

The threat of mass extinction with only a few survivors scrounging around for food, shelter and water is very real. It's true that Russia's nuclear weaponry is outdated, but there are several studies that have shown that all it takes it ONE OUTDATED NUKE, to detonate and it will forever change that County's ability to nurture it's inhabitants.

The thing that most never take into account is the radiation fallout that can be dispersed by the wind for hundreds even thousands of miles and causing havoc to both humans and animals-------and water supply and food.

It immediately bars anyone from going in to help anyone. And all medical personal will be protected like precious Gold and they will not allow any medical personal to enter the area at the risk of losing them. In other words, every human in the location of radiation fallout is doomed to get no help, and can only expect a slow agonizing death.

Here is a simple example.

I just had a jw acquaintance tell me not to worry because Jehovah's Kingdom will step in right before everyone launches the Nukes. The Circuit Overseer has 'ASSURED' them, that Putin will not launch the nukes.

Why the King of South (USA) is in the Northern Hemisphere?

by pistolpete in

there's been a lot of talk among jws, that this is it with russia (king of the north) pushing and shoving against the (king of the south usa).

but look at the world map below on the link, and notice that usa is in the northern hemisphere.. meaning the king of the south must be none other than -----------argentina .

that's so funny that jws still can't figure it out that they are being conned to the max.

This is no different than people who become politicians and get a taste of money and power, Once they get the taste of it, neither husband or wife are willing to give it up.

And just like politicians, they will ALWAYS have followers and martyrs that will support them in their work to the very end no matter what they do.

What Happened to Jehovah's Witness Young Men - and WHY did it Happen?

by Terry in

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lo9jtmhf4b1-j9cn0enojshyw0rogv-qswxnrme-k6e/edit?usp=sharing.

_____within the last 6 months, i was contacted by one of my fellow jw's incarcerated with me and about 50 other bros. in the late 1960s.

we served time as convicted conscientious objectors in seagoville federal correctional institution.surprise surprise!

I must figure out what - if anything - is possible for me to do.

Honestly, it's a difficult thing to wake up a JW. All I can say is you have to tread carefully, be extremely smart, not allow emotion to take over, and be very patient. (like disarming a bomb with a hundred wires)

JWs don’t use the apocryphal, yet source them

by Anony Mous in

so a quick little note about a few things that i recently learned.

if you ever had the yellow book of bible stories, there was the story of enoch, also repeated in other watchtower publications, about the angels fathering giants and being a menace on earth.

now if you look at the nicean bible, which is the wtbts selection of the bible, it mentions enoch twice and only has a very brief passage about nephilim and ben elohim.

There had been an attempt in some Protestant circles to basically rewrite parts of the canon

Wow, first time I've heard this.

joey jojo

Until this thread, I hadnt realised - or taken notice of, how many books of the NT were written by Paul, who never met Jesus.

Joey Jojo, here is one of my posts on the subject of Paul and the books he wrote regarding: HIS GOSPLE----NOT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Sea Breeze

except of course for all the evidence FOR supernatural powers like eye-witness testimony

SB, the eye-witness testimony your are referring to have been dead for about 2,000 years.

1 Corinthians 15:6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

Give me the name and address of just ONE of these witnesses so I can go and question considering THEY ARE STILL LIVING ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

Imagine if someone accused you of murdering an entire family and all you had to defend yourself was 500 witnesses with no name, no address so that your defense attorney could question them.

That's all you had.

What do you think the Jury's verdict would be, along with the judge and your own attorney.

truth_b_known

Regardless of the level of proof that a tomb was found empty, the answer cannot be "It was supernatural powers," until supernatural powers are proven first.

This is really the basic, central, or critical point of proving ANYTHING related to the "Story" of Jesus.

The Central Feature is not really about Jesus or his resurrection, but instead it's about a Supreme Being, aka Jehovah who intervene by resurrecting a man named Jesus, and by this means is going to save every single human who has ever lived on the planet, approx 100 billion people have lived and died on the planet earth.

If he plans to have them resurrected to heaven, then we have to ask why? Why not create them in heaven in the first place.

If resurrected on earth, why did some All Knowing, all Powerful, God of love tolerate so much suffering and pain on billions of innocent children, mothers, fathers and even the trillions of innocent animals------FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS and continuing.

This is not a "Picture" of an All Knowing, All Powerful God of Love.

It is a picture of man made stories to quell the reality of death in the absence of a Loving and just Supreme Being.

An All Powerful God with Supernatural Powers HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN.

On the other hand there are MANY Unproven stories of many Powerful Gods like Zeus, God of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, justice, King of the Gods and the “Father of Gods and men”. and so many others with different supernatural powers like Atlas, Chaos, Eros, Pan, etc.

The idea of a sacrifice needed to appease Some powerful deity was a common belief of ancient people.

Jehovah was just another deity that required the sacrifice of animals and humans to appease him. He loved the smell of blood.

But thankfully, we are slowly coming out of such ignorance.I think in another few hundreds years, humankind will grow out of it.

Genesis 8

And Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean [four-footed] animal and of every clean fowl or bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 When the Lord smelled the PLEASING ODOR [a scent of satisfaction to His heart],

ERVThe Lord smelled these sacrifices, AND IT PLEASED HIM

And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, If You will indeed give the Ammonites into my hand, Then whatever or whoever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it or him up as a burnt offering. ...Then Jephthah came to Mizpah to his home, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances! And she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

35 And when he saw her, he rent his clothes and said, Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are the cause of great trouble to me; for I have opened my mouth [in a vow] to the Lord, and I cannot take it back.....At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed

COVID Vaccine and JW's

by FedUpJW in

while reading some of the news this afternoon i came across an article titled the lies about vaccine efficacy are exposed, so scotland stops publishing data, that opened with this statement:.

if the truth hurts your narrative, you must censor it.

but what if your own information harms your own narrative?

This Pandemic was so serious and dangerous;

That you had to get tested to see if you had it.
