What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

by minimus in

i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

FedUpJW

Agree with the 144,000 idea. That would just be reverting to what was taught in the early years, just like the flip-flopping superior authorities explanation. It would also fit with the "overlapping" B.S. and buy more time.

Of course the NRA and the worshipers of old documents (written by people to fit their times and places)

Yeah, who the hell needs to worry about the 1st, 4th, or 5th amendments either?

Possible leak from Annual Meeting 2018

by Listener in

i'm a member on jw talk (until now at least) and have been regularly checking up on their thread regarding the annual meeting.

there hasn't been a great deal to report on except for this recent post that has been made.

i may get outed but that's no loss.

FedUpJW

IDK any more what goofiness will come spilling out of the "Great Ones" pie-holes. All I know is I "buried" ALL my WT publications recently when they went to the landfill in boxes. Pretty sure they won't be confiscated there.

I understand there are two book releases, but what could possibly be so exciting that she would want to come straight home and set up lunch to tell me?

A JW where I live that is always trying to get me back to where I used to be in JWland said that he was told, "the 'great tribulation' has now started, and we should be hiding Bibles and literature in safe spaces' " so we can access it when the government comes after us.

Conventions, Kingdom Halls, Relief Funds, and Other Financial Scams and Schemes of Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Watchtower-Free in

a few seconds ago this hit the net todayhttp://jwvictims.org/conventions-kingdom-halls-relief-funds-and-other-financial-scams-and-schemes-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.

conventions, kingdom halls, relief funds, and other financial scams and schemes of jehovahs witnesses.

jehovahs witnesses often note that at their meetings (like church services), they dont pass a collection plate.

FedUpJW

This design above doesn’t say, “Come in to get filled spiritually and celebrate the joys of god’s holy spirit.” It says, “Ask about our great line of affordable home equity loans!”

And now what with the "lock the doors ANY time there is someone in the KH" crap where you have to be known to the "special" door watcher to be allowed in it doesn't even say, "Welcome."

A Cult Tactic: Removing Guilt By Dehumanising Others

by pale.emperor in

in the real world, very few parents would disown their own children simply because they read a magazine that told them to do it.

very few people would forever completely ignore their own parents because an elder got up on a platform one day and announced that they no longer follow the same religion as you.. in the real world it just doesn't happen.

and yet, for 8 million jehovah's witnesses it's very a normal part of their world to treat "other people" differently than they'd treat each other.

FedUpJW

"Heaven forbid that the Jehovah's Witness see's us as loving, caring, empathetic beings that care for them and who have the same ups and downs in life as they do."

Agreed. One of my in-laws who is DF'd was the ONLY person who helped me care for my dying father until he passed away a few weeks ago. Now the congregation he was ignored by is shunning the rest of the family for having let her help care for my dying father. The fact their refusal to offer any help was one of the reasons we gladly accepted her help is lost on those idiots! After my father died one of the elders stopped by to offer his "condolences" and I was proud to tell him, "You screwed him over when he was alive, you screwed us over when he was dying, and now SCREW YOU! I want to see nothing of you except your back as you get the f--k out of here!"

The last living reason for me to have been inside a KH is gone. And so am I!
