what does jump the shark mean?.
the phrase “jump the shark” is a term in pop culture that originated from the tv show “happy days” and is used to describe a decline in quality.
it refers to the moment when a tv show or other product has reached its peak and starts to decline in quality.
"Actually, they had very little time to "sit" as they were busy with the "privilege" of shoveling up the manure"
This is part of the genius of the WT. The busy work of going door to door was enough to distract from the fact that the end didn't come during several lifetimes.
Irony can be fun. Rutherford expected to outlive the governments of the world; he didn't even live to see the end of Hitler's government!
yes, waiting on jehovah for him to handle a problem/ doctrine etc.. when did the jw's first start saying that?
they've been saying it as long as i can remember.. what scriptures do they trot out to back that teaching up?

Magnum, Mussolini made the trains run on time by figuring out what time the trains were actually arriving and adjusting the timetables accordingly.
Not sure how to stretch any analogy to the GB's situation though. 🤔 Apart from them being a bunch of fascists...

Actually, perhaps it's Cousin Oliver Syndrome. A TV show is usually dying when they introduce a new kid to try and inject some interest back in the show. WT jumped the shark when they introduced Sophia and Caleb.

They probably jumped the shark 🦈 when the GB started making televangelist 🧑🏫 style videos 🎥📼🎞️🎬. They wanted to show that they were down with the kids 🕺 and as cool as The Fonz, but proved the opposite. 🙄
my understanding* is that the un is supposed to be the wild beast of revelation.
the un only came into being after wwii, so what was the beast before the new light came about?
i can't see a speculative organisation like the wt not having an interpretation of the beast before the un came into being.
Vidiot, if only it was fun like that!

I was after the tl:dr version, I seriously don't want to read that idiot's rantings. Is he saying the beast is the RC church and the Anglican church or the reformation churches or some sort of ecumenical council? Wouldn't that be the false prophet, the second beast?

Russell died in 1916, so he wouldn't have had the then non-existent League of Nations in mind. Who or what did he think was the beast? I've been googling it, but most of the answers are about JWs, not bible students before Rutherford.
isn’t the watchtower society valuable because it gets people talking about important issues in our world?.
hell no!.
this argument presupposes that jehovah’s witnesses are ethically neutral–that if the core doctrine (the truth) is not true, its untruth is harmless, but if (by wild coincidence) the governing body of this organization happen to aim a wayward arrow at some real-world issue that needs addressing, the watchtower is a net positive because it directed, at least, some energy toward addressing essential issues of life.
"On the other hand, a Christian who remains immature can easily be misled by “trickery” and “deceptive schemes” and be taken in by conspiracy theorists and apostates. (Read Ephesians 4:14, 15.) He may be prone to being jealous, creating strife, taking offense, or yielding to temptation.—1 Cor. 3:3".
I think it is the apostates that are really scaring them. By conspiracy theorists, do they mean those who accuse them of colluding with world governments on the vaccine? Or those who are speculating about AM3's removal?
This sort of thing must be starting to bite, because otherwise, why point it out? Are they running scared? What is threatening them and putting the fear of "Jehovah" into them?
only those who think that they'll soooooooon be king/priests, can be called "witnesses" and do preaching work.. w98 2/1 p. 17 par.
16 - in 33 c.e., the israel of god (not r/f jw's!
) replaced fleshly israel and became jehovah’s “servant,” his “witnesses.”.
I don't understand why the R&F even bother. According to the WT, the bible wasn't written for them, only for the 144000. So any attempts by the organisation at admonishing them biblically should fall on deaf ears. "Not my dog; not my fight" should be the R&F's mantra.
