...we know that the structure of this world will continue to crumble.
Jehovah’s organization has provided practical physical assistance with a Food Distribution Program.
"I, Moses, will provide water for you from this rock"
And who exactly makes Jehovah's Food Program possible? Right, this crumbling world.
Their willful ignorance and hypocrisy is beyond compare.
this is part of splane's lecture in the final part of the final day of the 2020 convention.
now speaking of broadcasting.
do you think jehovah has been preparing us for something like this pandemic?
And here's another thing, when the theme for this convention was being chosen, there was no Coronovirus on the horizon. Yet, can you think of a better theme for a convention than this one? Joy. What an appropriate theme for a convention...
Hahaha such a funny guy. The whole convention utterly ignores current events. Apparently they only updated the last talk to include a reference to corona?
If anything this convention and all current literature show how little foresight JW and their imaginary friend Jehovah have...
people with ad hominem attacks can eff off.. npr articles, etc.
with no references are not proof of anything.
look up the studies and don't just read the abstract people.
Could it be that the dissenting virogolist is mistaken (or worse, using unreliable methods, too biased, or outright dishonest)?
What can we do to figure that out?
What would it take for you to conclude the dissenting virologist is wrong?
i am in earnest.
i will not excuse; i will not equivocate;.
i will not retreat a single inch.
Awesome questions, highlights some pretty serious issues.
If a person puts his complete trust in a Bible scholar, with an “if he says it, I believe it” attitude, would his faith ultimately be in the Bible or the scholar?
I'd take this one a bit further even:
If a person puts his complete trust in what somebody wrote centuries ago about their God/gods, with an “if he says it, I believe it” attitude, would his faith ultimately be in the Gods/gods or the ancient writer?
on january 13th, 2018, an emergency warning appeared on phone screens across hawaii, alerting everyone: .
ballistic missile threat inbound to hawaii.
seek immediate shelter.
A nuclear war may happen if someone's chooses to start one. And it's very unlikely someone will.
In the mean time we already have a pandemic and an urgent and very high-impact climate problem that are actually happening right now.
Why focus on what may happen in some unlikely scenario, when we haven't even started to properly address the much more urgent issues we already have?
2 documents.
2020-08-14 announcement.
one in english and one in german.. .
Hahahah 'we know COVID-19 makes this campaign a failed mission from the start, but please try to create fake enthusiasm in the weary publishers anyway. (We know that's against your better judgment, but hey, we told you you should obey our every command, even the ridiculous instructions you want to throw aside!)'
You will not need to include national government officials (elected and non-elected officials making up national parliaments, other forms of the national or federal government, ambassadors and other officials who work in foreign embassies or consulates). The branch office will care for this group."
I wonder how this will work out in countries like Australia, The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Russia, etc.
In all these countries Watchtower has shown a blatant disregard for the law, and for government requests or demands.
And now they'll gonna send them a religious rag telling them they better become JW because God is gonna exterminate them?
Yeah they probably gonna take that seriously....
(Or....Watchtower isn't gonna send national government officials anything....just implying to the regular dubs that they will do so....)
Also, thanks Petra!
a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.
they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.
a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.
At the moment they can't go door to door.
They can only send letter, emails, or call people on the phone.
But when they all do that all the time, their actions will be seen as spamming.
So the GB has instructed JW to only mail/call people they already personally know.
Problem: JW don't really know too much people who aren't JW.
Now they all go through their rolodex to desperately search for some former or non-JW who they can send a recruitment letter.
Not really an organized effort to target you or others. It's a side effect of Covid-19.

no collective regret or any acknowledgement that child sexual abuse had happened among jws..
Today Paul Gillies once again didn't show any hint that Watchtower will ever apologize (as we already expected).
Also Gillies got destroyed.
the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa) will hold additional virtual public hearings in the child protection in religious organisations and settings investigation next week.. the timetable was released today: https://www.iicsa.org.uk/key-documents/20825/view/virtual-cpiros-timetable-week-3-10-august-2020.pdf .
five witnesses will testify on the jw issue next monday and tuesday, 10 and 11 august:.
- pr-a5, a victim abused by ministerial servant peter stewart;.
It would have been good if they could have played the tape to Gillies and asked for comment.
By the looks of it the prof had already seen the video on YouTube or at least read a transcript.
He wasn't asking these questions to gain information - he already had the information and knew tha answer to every question he asked. He just wanted Gillies to say it for himself. He wanted Gillies in a certain spot. Just showing him the video could have given him the option to deny it is an official unaltered video.
Now Gillies has to 'find' the recording of the seminar that the prof already knows exists.
Either Gillies had to come back lying and get caught, or he has to present evidence that JW consider legal proceedings as 'Satan out to get us'.

FYI time ran out today so they'll resume Paul Gillies' testimony tomorrow morning (at 10.30 UK time I think)
