Remember the Revelation book?

by wozza in

i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

I remember having to study it at least 3 times...the final times with print-outs of “adjustments” in understandings. 🤢🤢🤢

We hosted the Book Study at our home and I absolutely do not miss having an actual full-time ( extremely physical) job, only to rush home and get ready to have people in my home for 2+ Hours... Especially when the Eldub never had a job in his life, seriously.. his wife worked..

I think I would become ill if I had to read from that abomination aloud to a group... The only thing worse would be having to listen to Brother Marble-mouth McStutters read for an hour while trapped in the books study.. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Special Talks now via video

by AverageJoe1 in

tired of listening to your local elders giving the "special" talk ever year after the memorial?

well don't worry, as of next year we will be spicing things up for your enjoyment.. not only will we be having the talk before the memorial (i know, wild huh), but we will be treating you to the talk via video starring our famous speakers from bethel so you can see how a talk should be given (after all bethel does boast the best speakers in any country, right?!).

here's a copy of the text from our latest letter as i'm sure that with so much excitement you won't believe it at first!.

I remember waking up and learning TTATT. One of the articles I had just read was the 1968 Awake, “ Is it later than you think?”

This was the infamous “What future for the young?” article.

Then the “Special Talk” was entitled, you guessed it, “Is it later than you think?”” WTF???? What were the odds????

It was then I realized that “Special Talks” were just recycled old shit from the addled minds of the Governing Body and their sycophantic Writing Department.

Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

by AlainAlam in

do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

DATA-DOG

Where is the evidence that your questions are honest and that you actually want an answer??

Get back to us when you have a child that is sexually abused by an individual who is a know predator according to the database kept by the Watchtower, and you are labeled as “spiritually weak” for questioning official policies, or shunned and disfellowshipped for questioning doctrine?

Where is your evidence that GB and their lawyers are simply inept and not malevolent? Inept and humble persons don’t normally attempt to cover their tracks by any means necessary.

You heard it here first. U.S. District conventions CANCELLED!

by nowwhat? in

prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.

lost jobs can't afford to go.

not allowed any vacation time rest of year.

It tells me they are just another Xian sect and when it comes down to brass tacks they are just concerned with their own Ego/World/Survival, ect.

They don’t really believe any God is protecting them or their flock.

My congregation is something else!

by nowwhat? in

not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!

so they don't upset their spiritual routine!

ugh!

I remember when my Ex wanted to start watching JW TV together and reading the Bible in an effort to help our relationship..

I couldn’t do it. I was really conflicted. I couldn’t unlearn TTATT, but I felt terrible because she was a believer ( or perhaps just didn’t know what else to do, or couldn’t imagine another solution ) and trying to be a good JW... 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s really sad. She’s not a bad person, she’s just trapped by JWism...

Can Irwin Zalkin have the GB appear before court via Zoom during these difficult times?? 😝😝😝

If meetings can continue then there’s no reason litigation needs to stop. Surely the GB have no issues with all this tech made by highly educated, future bird food/followers of demonic teachings??

"Go, my people, enter your inner rooms..."

by Smiles in

isaiah 26:20 is now being used in private discussions among upper echelons of watch tower elites as a premise to infer covid19 pandemic related protocols are preparing the jw masses for that great overdue end-time deliverance.. "go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you.

hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.

" - isaiah 26:20. if the hype and fanaticism produce more failed expectations, watch tower may experience a 1975-like membership disaster.

The GB WISH Covid-19 would end “Satan’s” attack via the Court systems of the world. I hope the GB remain healthy so they can face justice.

Last night's local needs

by Fadeaway1962 in

the memorial each family to have wine and unleavened bread to pass around (isolated bro who's a recovering alcoholic).

limit watching the news regarding the virus look on jw.org and the gb will keep us informed (they know better than medical professionals).

ministry suspended but use any opportunity to speak to people and give them a jw.org card(the virus still active on card).

There’s a reason the term “Watchtard” was invented.

Agreed. The GB weren’t hiding from Zalkin when he approached HQ, they were supplicating Jehhooberdoober!!!

He has delivered them just as he delivered his faithful servants of old; he used a plague that targets everyone...

Is the WTBTS preparing to...

by The Fall Guy in

...tell the sheeple that "jehovah's earthly organization" is financially facing critical times, hard to deal with, which could threaten its survival and that it urgently requires as much money as the minions can send.. like every other business in the world, the cult needs a constant source of cash to exist.

so with meetings, assemblies, and probably conventions being cancelled, the cash-cow is rapidly looking very precarious.. i reckon the financial brains in the wtbts will have devised a financial survival plan - based on the situation continuing/worsening.

:) the sheep have all been fleeced - time to skin them!.

I hope they ask for more $$$ and the Rank and File start to wake up.
