1914 will be the date that Jesus’ coronation ceremony began, which will last until who the hell knows, and then the end will come..
DD 🤪
so i was observing an online conversation between a jw and a former-jw.
the non-jw pointed out that wwi cant have had anything to do with satan supposedly being "cast out of heaven" because wwi was already well under way in oct 1914.. the jw proceeds to explain that satan was actually thrown down to the earth in 1915 and that he started to wreak havock on the earth from heaven knowing he was about to be cast out.. so 1914 is officially old light now?
does anyone have a source for that or was this brother lying through his teeth?.

so get this, wt has something they're calling a "jw box" that gives people in africa "spiritual food".
the best part, they want donations of $75 for it!
so they don't provide any physical food to people in africa but they can send them "spiritual food" for $75.
“ err--wont the users need electricity ?...and be on the internet ?”
Don’t worry. The GB are also selling treadmills that generate electricity so that the poor friends in Africa can access the Internet. Jeehoober will take care of the spiritual food, but any caloric needs will have to be taken care of at the local level.

(as of 10 sep 2020) there's a new caleb & sophia cartoon in which the org puts into the minds of children the idea that celebrating a birthday will cause jehovah to not want to be your friend anymore.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/trailer-jehovah-forgives/.
can you imagine being 6 years old and thinking god himself is no longer your friend because you blew out a candle on a birthday cake or wished someone a happy birthday?.
as bad as all this is, the birthday thing is just one of many jw rules that isnt even supported by scripure.
“New Boys” need to learn their place at Bethel, usually it’s in a steam room after signing an NDA.

15-20. christendom exposed as the promoter of false worship.
7 now, in the age of television, we have tv preachers exploiting that medium with every kind of theatrical trick and psychological device to beguile the masses and empty the pockets of the flock.
Really?? Who has a problem with that? Some troll?
All the hours of unpaid labor, all the lost income from no education/no opportunity to play professional sports, the Wife not working for years or taking only part time jobs to Pioneer, the wear and tear on vehicles, the gas, ect
They still owe me $$$.

Before I left for good, after all the hassles with the Eldubs, all the hypocrisy, the inquisitions, ect, I would volunteer to take our contributions to the box.. AND.. just pocket the cash. Lol.
That felt great.

We can send them “Jeehobucks”, which are good for paying legal fees, settlements, ect.

Little kids who have been programmed to feel guilty and unworthy are easier to molest. You guys didn’t know that??

against our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.
the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".
anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.
Wow! The J-Dumbs at the trolley cart while a homeless person huddled nearby... You can’t make that up.
The sad thing is that the R&F would probably learn to run soup kitchen and would be glad to help people. Shit, they could even count that time. Sadly the idiot GB don’t really care about anyone or anything except their delusional future positions as Super Heroes.

most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.
We could very well be part of a vast multi-verse. Quantum Entanglement appears to be true. Light can be a particle and a wave at the same time. Reality is affected by observation. There’s Dark Matter, Worm Holes, Oceans under the Ocean... Ancient and mysterious Civilizations being found with Laser Radar in Rain Forests. There’s Fungi that appear to attract animals ( Humans too ) so they can spread their spores. Plants are conscious although not as we traditionally view consciousness. We could be controlled by tiny organisms that make us want to eat certain things. AND...this could be some kind of a simulation..
In short, their is some weird and amazing things out there. Is there a collective consciousness? Maybe...

being raised a dub i never voted.
i’m not a republican or a democrat, not a liberal or a conservative.. i’m pretty middle of the road.
i want everyone to have a fair shake if possible in this life, but i definitely don’t believe in forced equality, that’s just not possible.
Carmichael,
That was very informative. Thank you.
It is a mess, and it seems Religiousity is interwoven throughout.
