  those who have been aware and informed have seen this coming.. of course it's just the beginning.

  80 reports seems to be only the tip of the iceberg.

  reclaimed voices is expecting hundreds of cases more.

  In my congregation in the Netherlands, brothers and sisters are talking about it. They ask: Is this really true?

  So it is already having a good impact!

  Hebrew language question?

  by Crazyguy in

  vowel points were not added to the hebrew language until from what i have read the 10th century ad.

  so how can anyone properly translate this language and the older canaanite dialect properly?.

  Translations have been made before from Hebrew to other languages. So we can use those contemporary translations help us understand the meaning of Hebrew words - despite the lack of vowels.

  How do cultural norms impact Witnesses throughout the world?

  an easy example is beards.

  i hear they're not unusual in places like europe, even on appointed brothers.

  it also seems like they're becoming more accepted in more liberal parts of the states.

  This photo made it so clear to me that JW's are an american religion.

  If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?

  the jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

  So two lies actually: (1) JW's do refer to it as shunning and (2) normal family relationships do not continue.

  Wow, so much new info for me! I always feel that the North-Americans know so much more about the org and the background than the rest of the world... And still many are trapped.

  Thank you all so much

  Does This Site Ever Change The Mind of “Spiritual “ Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  do you think witnesses who come here believe that in fact they don’t have the truth, after all.

  or are we just preaching to the choir?

  ?.

  Well, I myself was considered a very "spiritual" witness. Now I am still in the org for family reasons. But while I'm in I use the opportunity to "witness" to the witnesses, especially to my former fellow elders. So I need the ammunition that I do find on this website. Also I can see what strategies work to help those that do not know ttatt.

  Anyone from Germany here? I am curious if it just might be that they closed down a lot of foreign language congregations? They did that in the Netherlands before.

  at the agm on oct 7th, his eminence miserable morris iii stated the jw yearbook would cease publication and that the annual report would instead be released via the "about us" menu in the jw website.

  related to this, the "life and ministry meeting workbook - january 2018 (living as christians)" outlines the following item to be considered jan 1-7 2018...."annual service report: (15 min.

  ) talk by an elder.

  Isn't the annual service report about the local congregation, instead of being about the global situation. I remember once a year the local service report being discussed.
