  Why is the Watchtower "soft" on China?

  by Sad-u-see in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's see, wt is "banned" in china.

  the wt preaches that reaching everyone on the planet is so important, yet they barely have a footprint in china.

  if saving lives was so important, why do they not aggressively proselytize in china?

  Interesting to note- they keep pubs informed of prison sentences handed out to fellow believers among the worlds population of 7.8 billion. They do not mention the fact that it is not only JW's being persecuted - there are over 50 countries intensely persecuting those who believe the bible. North Korea heading the list with most Islaamic countries and China. The phillipines years ago was noted for the beheading of pioneers from the society- men and women. Some here may remember that...

  Pioneers/missionaries are sent mostly to "safe" countries. The countries that would not allow witnessing always had cargo ships calling at ports - around this area anyway. Individual pioneers(male) usually loaded up with mags and books and left them with the workers on these ships where no witnessing was allowed in their country of origin. In that way, the society always said it got the message out there and into the countries.

  When you take a look at 2019 memorial attendance you note 21 million attended - even if you timed that by 5 it would mean about 100 million may "come in" during the GT.. that represents maybe 13-15% of worlds population I think. so their idea of worldwide witnessing is not correct. I can be corrected maybe but thats my take.

  Was 2019 the last convention ever?

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in a recent feel-good instagram post about the 2019 international convention, a jw remarked, "was it the last convention we will have?".

  there is no doubt jw's feel they are truly special and that world events revolve around them directly.

  there is also no doubt that whether we get a vaccine for covid or not, and at the moment, its looking very certain that we will, that the world will continue to spin and life will go on, regardless of the beliefs of the jw's.. once the pandemic is over i'm wondering if some jw's will realise that even though they lived through a notable period of time, life kept sailing on, and maybe they aren't that special after all?

  The anointing oil used y the priests were a type of drug, the fasting and 40 days on a mountain or in the desert without food would cause one to hear and see things not normal, anyone watch a current tv series of people sent out to various ungodly regions of the earth without food or water and have to search for it for 21/40 days? Many do not last- the body breaks down, yet many inspirations were given under these conditions in the biblical days.

  My answer is - why not medical M J? You can get so many types for pain or anxiety -whatever the issue is.. if you can grow your own, it is organic- no chemicals. Its a plant. If controlled properly it wont eat your stomach or affect the liver as tylenol or aspirin will- T3's? Yu can get it in pill form from doctor.

  That is why all older publications have been ordered destroyed. The Red Revelation book shown here with Christ and crown and the had coming from the back is also showing the rod in his hand to be made of wood.

  There are several other pictures in the book as well and there is no mistaking they were intentional.

  I have the book.

  BT - like the wording "inoculation theory"- its fitting, seeing that an inoculation takes time to do its work so too does the society in putting all shortcomings into print or talks that the pubs slowly get accustomed to (repetition, repetition} and accept. This thought process- mental adjusting the congregations or associates or whatever they are calling publishers now, have been brainwashed to accept.. without question, and has been going on for years. They plant ideas/ thoughts/suggestions in study lessons and voila- its fact in 6 months. They use buzz words i.e. it is though/ perhaps/ we have ascertained.... and so on

  Its a psychological given, but unfortunately, tied in with worship that if ever shaken, people feel they have lost their faith, their life, their everything- so it goes on unquestioned.

  Hello MissMary- Nothing has changed... remember when you were a sister on the arm of a man, sadly unless you hit the jackpot- and I mean that-- because most men in the org wants someone younger and submissive to take care of them as a nurse whould, in their approaching old age or just plain arm candy, that may not happen..

  First you have to find someone you Like! That in itself is a hard thing to do..

  Second- what are their habits? In the org its hard to find a man that is not a company boy and may give u a hard time because you are not following strict adherent to the org.

  THird - if you had a good marriage, dont think you will find another.

  Right now - you will be a third party in all couples invites. You will not have a close association with other singles -they are probably younger and look askance at older widows - other women will see you as someone on the prowl and wont trust you around their man - and if your not pioneering you very seldom be mentioned off the platform as being asked to join the family book study night at someone's house, you will slowly find that without a man you will get a smile and how are you doing and we should get together for a lunch - they really dont give a shit about single people.

  Recently there was an older brother engaged to an older sister - guess what! A younger newly baptized sister arrived and bingo- he dropped the older sister for the younger - he is in his late 50's- early 60's.....ther was talk and speculation, the older sister was upset but the marriage allowed to go on in the hall... Guess the older married elders thought it might happen to them ... You would do better to find a mate, get df's and if u desired, get reinstated. Otherwise its slim pickings.. Do not despair with all this negativity though - you are a person worth millions to a deserving guy.

  2020-10-01--Care For Your Personal Needs Yourself----Full Time Servants! (as of 2020-10-06)

  by Atlantis in

  i guess the full time servants will have to fend for themselves or rely on publishers to care for them.

  ------------------------------------for special full-time servants in the field in the united states branch territory1.

  necessary personal needs: it is preferred that you and your mate (if married) continue to care for your personal needs yourself.
