study article 31.
“be steadfast, immovable”.
11 at times, we might reason that the direction jehovah gives us is not sufficient.
Especially the latest, pushing Covid vaccines. Before they wrote that brothers should not push on others different medical treatments, because they are personal matters. Now they break their own rules.
One rule for us another for them. They certainly caused divisions in congregations there is absolutely no doubt about that. But they blame others for doubting the safety of the vaccines. If you doubt the safety of the vaccines you are causing division according to them.
'jehovah's witnesses are heavily vaccinated due to guidance given from july to december 20211 by the governing body.many witnesses have had serious adverse effects following vaccination campaigns and, for the most part, have had great difficulty in expressing them and having them recognized.this website was made to allow each witness touched by these vaccination campaigns to express it so that the community takes it into account.'.

I know of several who have had inflammation and what seems to be damage to immune systems since the blood clot shots. But they think it’s just a coincidence because that would mean the GB gave wrong direction!

january 1, 2024, marked the official opening of the patterson visitor center, located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, new york, u.s.a. the feature museum of the visitors’ center is entitled “first-century bible village.” brother isaiah miller, who works in the museum department at bethel, said: “the bible village was designed to provide everyone with a realistic and educational experience.
studies show that interactive learning has a powerful effect on people of all ages.” after her tour, one visitor exclaimed: “this museum made me feel like i had been transported back to the land of ancient israel.
Yes they are working on a similar ‘museum’ experience in London Chelmsford branch office. Paid for most by government funding and having huge fictitious expenses when it’s mostly made and run by volunteers.
At the moment the have a boring Bible display which takes a few hours to listen to through earphones. But work is underway for a Paterson style visitors centre in Chelmsford.
JWs in London are flocking to volunteer their days off work to come and give of their time and energy for free
The smart ones are following what the society does and not what they say. Further education, real estate flipping and investing in the world having vaults full of silver bullion bars, as they know there is no end coming as the say. The big wigs at Bethel know this and plan accordingly.
Many Elders and other also know the GB are lying and they are doing what the organisation does and ignoring what they say to do.

So jehovaxx reveals new light about last min door of opportunity when it’s needed?
Upto 2023 AGM Jehovaxx it was needed to make every JW think that only baptised will not be slaughtered?
so, i’m just posting this as a warning to lurking jws.
if you’re still on the fence, here is a story.. my grandmother, now in her 80s hasn’t talked to anyone in the family for over 20 years ever since my mother was the last one of her children that left ‘the truth’, she had sent my mother a card to never talk to her again.
so here we are 21 years later, she gets a call out of the blue that she needed help, she hadn’t been able to get into her kitchen.
They will be burden if they didn’t plan for retirement when they were young. Mostly a burden on the state, you eventually have to stop pushing the cart and jump in the cart for others to push
I’m sure there are scriptures talking about not being a burden on others?
this thread could be used regularly for people looking for specific quotations from watchtower literature.. right now i'm looking for a quotation which says it is the duty of clergy to point out errors in wt messages.. there is also one which says that religions which claim to offer salvation to millions should allow scrutiny..
There have definitely been quotes lately that have said ‘about 1914’ instead of just saying 1914 as they always used to.

Yes they even encourage not paying into a private pension at all. Try to opt out of it and work less hours so you don’t have to pay into it at all has been the advice for decades because you will never be old enough to need it.
now all those ones who followed that direction are a burden on others
its criminal the direction from the ‘faith slave’

Yes the new light that this guy Br Winder is talking about is a real problem. Why would Jehovah have revealed false light in the first place?
There is a good chance that this new light 2023 they claim is from Jehovah will be updated with even more new light. That means Jehovah releases false light according to them?
why doesn’t rank and file see this?
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Could someone please post the letters everyone is talking about?
and what is the entire story behind them?
thanks
