  Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era

  by Pedro in

  i'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.

  was there pressure from outside?

  were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

  Can you verify WTBTS has shares in Pfizer? I always felt they did with the way they were pushing the vac?

  NWPublisher app

  i heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.

  new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.

  congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

  This NW app may be the brainchild of the brothers who run online and physical store carrying all JW items - in upstate NY.

  I know in this area they are using WhatsApp. I did not download it. Interesting we all have pins - although a friend who previously made donations by cheque got letters back with specific personal number for the donation. I do not give, so did not know about it until I was shown the letter.

  i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.

  i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.

  Jesus died for the world of mankind who believed, why would only the "anointed" have that privilege? The other sheep were part of the olive tree - anyone who believed, not just JW's. The Jewish people could be grafted back in to regain what they lost, the other sheep were the ones Jeremiah and Paul preached to - the nations, to give them a hope as well. (Hebrews.) So when the 11 were in the upper room with Jesus (Jews), and in the first century Jesus cast off the jews, did that level the field to allows the "nations" to partake of the memorial because they had become believers- called "Christians" (Antioch)?

  John 13:35 Mistranslated?

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  disclaimer!

  i am not a bible translator not do i speak ancient greek or hebrew.. john 13: 35 nwt : 'by this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves '.. (curiously, this verse is not listed in the nwt index under the word 'disciples'.).

  the biblehub interlinear reads : ' by this will know all that to me disciples you are if love you have among yourselves '.. could it actually mean, contrary to all bible translations, that it is jesus himself, and not people in general, who identifies his disciples because they show love among each other?.

  It is true that you can go anywhere and be love bombed and helped initially.

  But that fades and quickly. I ( and a crew) personally have helped families to move, set up homes of new ones in area, cleaned when someone was sick, made meals, driven sick ones to hospital for treatment.... even helped shingle roofs, so I am versed in all that however, during the past 20 years or so, that has taken a drastic turn when we have become older and not able to help as much, there seems to be a lack of young ones to take over. Let alone, sign up as ms or elders. If you need to move something now, hire a truck, pay for it. Get groceries picked up, make dr appts when you can get there.... it has all changed and I don't see it ever coming back.

  Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself

  by TheScientist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.

  many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.

  in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".
