Recent Annual Meeting - Asking for Clarification
by truth_b_known inwould someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.
it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.
to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!

I have come to the conclusion that a lot of JWs don't care if the end is near.
by mickbobcat ini was in the cult for years about 40. fourth gen born in cult member or for me ex cult member.
i have seen so many cult members who don't seem to really care if the end is near or not.
they are much more concerned with the idea that this is their social network and they need and or want it just the way it is.

I always had a theory some JWs aren’t just lazy but really don’t want to hack it in a worldly environment. They like the controlled environment of the congregation and service groups where people are ‘polite’ to them whereas in the real ‘world’ people aren’t necessarily polite and a person has to ‘pull their weight’.
This actually makes a lot of sense. The jws can't deal with reality.
In fact, that's the same reason why they continue to believe in the everlasting life, paradise earth, soon to come promise. Because they don't want to deal with the reality that they will eventually get Old, Wrinkled, lose everyone they love and finally die.
It's a harsh reality but we have to be brave and accept it because it has been going on for thousands if not millions of year to all humans. Not one human has ever escaped getting old and dying, unless you want to believe the stories of Hercules, Thor, Jesus, - and the Paradise Earth that the Watchtower promises.

Disfellowship-arrangement of JWs is not from God, but from uninspired writers.
by Abraham1 in1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.
there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.
but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.

Imagining that most of the bible isn't inspired but a tiny sliver is has to be the most bat-shit crazy view of the bible I've ever come across.

Liberals really are so stupid
by mickbobcat inso the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.
now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.
they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

What do you think of Alexandria Cortez
She came out yesterday saying that there is no such thing as looting and riots. She said there is no crime and wants to write a bill to defund all the police in all 50 States.
Even Democrats are calling for the Republicans to take over Congress and the Senate.

Why some are religious or not?
by Vidqun intime article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.
instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.
according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

Disillusioned JW
That is because the USA federal government (since 2020) has decreed that those manufacturers can't be sued in regards to those vaccines. That is something which disturbs me.
It should disturb you. Imagine if I could sell any product, and Claim it could do anything, from making you look younger to preventing cancer and it would cost you an arm an a leg. And imagine if the Government protected me- from you suing me in any way or form-----EVER.
And 6 years down the line after I took a big chunk of your money and the money of MILLIONS of other people---- you then find out you got cancer from my product and YOU COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
In the meantime while you and your loved ones were dying of cancer, me and all my family were living here;

If you’re that worried of a cold or flu, then you shouldn’t drive a car or eat most foods available, cancer and heart disease are more likely to do you in....If you’re under 40, better not go outside at all, the chance of a lightning strike or drowning is greater.
LOL!!!!
I remember when the whole covid thing started almost two years ago. I got a slight fever that lasted for about an hour if I remember correctly and everyone was telling me that I should get tested for Covid. I didn't get tested because I didn't believe I got Covid because nothing really happened.
After several weeks I went to get blood work and all the other lab tests they do for other things, and I found out I had Covid antibodies
Then came the Delta variant and everyone went crazy. Some Governors like Newsom of California made a law that everyone had to wear a mask everywhere including restaurants.
Then someone caught him, his family and friends on VIDEO, eating and partying without a mask.
They know it's as bunch of baloney.They know Covid is not dangerous to healthy people. But they love the power over gullible people.That's why some people get caught in religious cults like the Watchtower.
So once he got caught on video, he made an apology.

And still, many believe the liberal democrats have their best interest in mind.
And now the Omicron variant is is here and is scaring the shit out of everybody.
In the mean time all of us were working in hospitals and seeing all these people dying. We noticed that ALL the ones dying, were extremely obese or just real old that just about anything like an infection, a bad flu case, a fall, could have easily killed them. All that year we never saw a "Healthy-young- individual" dying of the virus.
I do know of a couple of young fellows that died of covid but they were extremely obese and the other young ones that died had some type of underline heart condition or diabetes that they were not aware of.
We now know the vaccine is Not working. WHO even admitted it. In my work I've met tons of people who have gotten vaccinated and the booster and they got Covid. The ones that died already had some medical health problem that they were not aware of.
The rest got Covid like me and were sick a day or two.
Now the ones who got vaccinated and got sick for a day or two are worried that in the future the vaccine will have some type of effect on their systems and kill them early when they could of lived longer.Time will tell just like all the drugs pharma has made and 5- years down the line people start getting cancer FROM A PRODUCT THAT IS SUPPOSE TO PREVENT CANCER.
https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/jj-sued-after-recalling-sunscreens-due-to-cancer-causing-chemical/
A lot of these people that got Covid after the vaccine, regret taking the vaccine because the promise by the politicians and medical "experts" like Faucci, didn't come true.
First promise was if you get the vaccine you won't catch Covid.
Then they changed it to; "If you get the vaccine and get Covid, you won't get as sick.
Now we see people who got the vaccine and the booster are getting Covid and dying.
Covid is here to stay. If people want to wear a mask inside their home, while taking a shower, and having sex, ----Hey, it's their life what do I care.

It states that a person viewing child pornography should be strongly COUNSELED. Depending upon the frequency and the severity of his viewing it COULD be handled by a judicial committee.
The rules that have the least amount of punishment, are the rules that the people at the top break the most.
They need it to be a slap on the wrist, and not a big deal, so “when” they and their cohorts get caught, it’s still ok, according to the rules they make, and the masses follow.
When you have to push your better morals to the side, to make their bad morals ok, you belong to the wrong organization.
Any elders that can verify this?
