I have filled out a form and hope i will be going to chelsmford in 2019 :)

Even people in the world now are saying that further education is a waste of time and money, looks like the borg were correct about that one

If not JWs then who else comes closest?

If they are not JWs then there are no Gods people on earth today, period.

Its either the Bible, then JWs are the closest to the truth, or the old 19century science theory of evolution. But 21 century science has proved the old 19 century theory wrong.
What is the other alternative to JWs?

I will never give in even on threat of death. I love Jehovah

Jesus said those who have love amongst themselves. Well that is only Jws on a world wide scale. When in war time, which other groups will never take up arms and fight, even on threat of death. Only Jws.

I deny blood on Jehovahs peoples hands, Jehovahs people never ever partake in any wars, what on earth are you referring to?

Still a lot of wishy washy answers, if not JWs then what other options? (x10)
If there is one option nearer the truth what is it? (x10)

Its all down to the increasing use of digital media. We dont need so much printing as we did before.

The more you study the more you realise just how little we know, just human wisdom can not compare with the wisdom of Jehovah the loving creator.

They are NOT discouraging having children, or spending time with them. They are praising the hard working self sacrificing brother and sisters who put Jehovah ahead of personal interests.
Think how Jehovah feels about such self sacrificing Brothers and Sisters?

The good news will be preached in ALL the nations. Matthew 24:14. It is being fulfilled, but only by Jehovahs people.

I do not believe anything gets covered over. The policy is, if a paedophile infiltrates the JWs then the police are notified right away.

I still cant find a better alternative. Until I do I will stick to JWs.

Formerbrother, are you really a Former brother?

"Wondrous expansion is now taking place!"

by stuckinarut2 in

so we have all heard the worldwide reports about khalls being sold off and congregations being amalgamated etc.... of course, jws are being told that these actions are a sign of "just how much the work is progressing, and how jehovah is blessing the increase and expansion!".

i can share the following from my part of the world too!.

in perth, western australia the following has occurred.. three "new" congregations have been formed!

Splash

stuckinarut2 The KHall that Cong A owned outright (which had been recently renovated with the new tv screens etc also installed) is to be sold.

So which elders will soon be getting a free new TV?

Couple of real gems in the WT study for this upcoming weekend

by sir82 in

since blondie seems to still be on sabbatical, i'll take the liberty of highlighting a couple of "gems" from this week's upcoming study, from the article "reject worldly thinking".. from paragraph 12:.

is it true that succeeding in a secular career that offers power and prestige leads to lasting happiness?

remember that the craving to control others and the longing to be admired are the desires that enticed satan, but he is angry, not happy.. .

Splash

In my experience, most people who try to move up the career path do so because they have become good at what they do and either want to challenge themselves with something new, or see an opportunity for them to make improvements for their company.

Managers can see through those who try to get promoted without the needed skills, and those managers are accountable for the positions they fill under them.

Power and prestige are JW tropes, demonised because so few JW's will achieve either.

Jesus fulfilling old testament prophecies like his legs not being broken

by Isambard Crater in

what are everyone's thoughts on this, how his legs weren't broken, he was pierced with a spear and he wore a thorny crown?.

i'm pimo and very much not wanting to believe, but like the daniel statue prophecies, these ones about jesus stick in my mind and give me "hmmm, maybe" moments..

Venus Verse 20 says: “he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken

Wouldn't the bones in his wrists be broken when the nails were driven in?

Old Light - New Light

by Vanderhoven7 in

terry walstrom posted this exceptional link on another thread.

i think it so amazing that it should have a thread of its own so everyone can have clear and easy access to the document.

Thanks Vanderhoven.

I notice that document has a date of Jan 2017.

Here is the same document but dated Dec 2017. It has a bit more information and is better formatted too.

Wait one minute here!!! Did the GB PURPOSEFULLY launch a D.O.S. attack on Russia? (aka the letter writting campaign)

by GTSfromSY in

i know this sounds very outlandish by the title but hear this one out:.

a few months back i spoke to an old friend of mine raised "around the truth", but never baptized and wanting nothing to do with the wt.

he is very hip to what is going on in the wt however.

If the WT were not on Russia's watch list before they pulled this stunt, they are now.

The GB are children playing in a gangsters world.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

by dubstepped in

jw
friends

so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Cofty, is there any chance you could you put your series into a PDF and upload it somewhere?

It would be really useful to have it as a single document.

Silly Bible Stories we once believed

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

these bible stories are too silly to be true.

take off your rose colored glasses and you will begin to see some great imagination, exaggeration and great story telling!.

telling !.

Jacob creating flocks of speckled sheep by having non-speckled sheep drink from a trough which had a speckled branch placed in it.

Yes, all the pure white sheep who drank from this trough went on to produce speckled sheep that he could keep.

The gene changing properties of a speckled branch.

Jacob should have filled the trough with insects as well, to give all of the sheep six legs. Sheesh.
