  A little something you have not yet heard.

  i hope to make a very interesting post here, and informative.

  i’m quite sure no one here has heard this content.

  i would like to finally make known some heretofore undisclosed details concerning something that has affected probably everyone on this board to some degree.

  Their being an NGO is not what I would call involvement.

  But officer, I didn't go inside the bank, or use a gun, or shoot anybody during the robbery; I only waited outside and drove the get away car.

  My favorite charity?

  MYSELF. Actually after all the, "consider others superior to you, as you look out . . . for the interests of others" mandates that WT forced down our throats I am now throwing that "counsel" to the curb and putting myself first in many areas. Selfish? Perhaps. Warranted? Definitely!

  Any in-house word on Ukrainian Witnesses form HQ?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower

  has anyone heard any word on active witnesses inside the ukraine and what has been happening with them the last week or so?

  i checked the official org website but there was just the expected "fulfilling bible prophecy" stuff.

  perhaps someone here has bethel contacts who have leaked some info on what the gb is trying to do for these victims of putin's madness?.

  For what it's worth a quote that may assist some in how to refer to Ukraine.

  “Ukraine is a country,” says William Taylor, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. “The Ukraine is the way the Russians referred to that part of the country during Soviet times … Now that it is a country, a nation, and a recognized state, it is just Ukraine. And it is incorrect to refer to the Ukraine, even though a lot of people do it.”

  2. current

  we seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.

  now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?

  to live a life?.

  If you really had any principles you would object to those things.

  Agreed. As a comment said on another site, "These virtue signalling nitwits are buying expensive bottles of Russian vodka just so they can pour it out for the news cameras. They are protesting against Russia in meaningless ways, all the while wearing their over-priced sneakers made in China, taking "selfies" and texting each other on their Chinese made 'smart' phones, and then going to Walmart to buy cheap Chinese made merchandise. If they really were serious about protesting the bad that Russia has done and is doing they would take the same stand against China whose government has engaged in Uyghur genocide, and severe repression of it's citizens rights. Until that happens they and those who support them are nothing other than virtue signalling hypocrites!"

  COVID Vaccine and JW's

  by FedUpJW in

  while reading some of the news this afternoon i came across an article titled the lies about vaccine efficacy are exposed, so scotland stops publishing data, that opened with this statement:.

  if the truth hurts your narrative, you must censor it.

  but what if your own information harms your own narrative?

  How many died of the vaccine?

  A guy I know who was a JW followed the governing body/government order to get the COVID jab to show how much he valued life. He was only in his mid sixties, very healthy for the nearly forty years I knew him and he went to lay down for just a few minutes according to his wife, and she found him a half hour later dead. It sounds like that very healthy man had a sudden blood clot that killed him. Of course if you ask the politicians and medical advisors about it they will vehemently deny that the potential blood clot side effect of the jab could have ever had a thing to do with his death.

  @pistolpete

  And can only be prevented by a "vaccine" that is so "safe" that you have to be threatened to take it.

  An upcoming Watchtower article saying if people Pioneer Jehovah will provide!

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw the post on reddit and the thread got many responses..can anybody believe the religion is still saying this??

  it has to be as plain as day that so many jws are poor and struggling today because they never got a career or decent job years ago.. sadly, there are still witnesses who believe money will fall from heaven if they are in the full-time ministry.

  they expect some miracle to occur..but, we all know the truth: people in the congregation will be hit up for yet more money for another bunch of irresponsible people pursuing poverty.

  we can be sure that Jehovah will provide for us.

  Oh but they CAN be sure they will be provided for! I was told the Gee-HO'-Vuh provides by means of the "hope" for the new world. People who are not JW's don't have any hope, so they are overwhelmed by things like getting older with no job, no savings, no old age pension, no insurance, no home and so on.

  I may just tell them to use hope to pay their bills, use hope to eat, use hope to keep warm in the winter, and maybe just maybe if they have a car that runs they can use hope to pay for fuel. They get nothing from me!

  Scotland must have learned something from the JW's.

  What makes them think that being inactive in the field service or not watching or being at meetings means they are away from Jehovah?

  Because JW's are an appearance based religion. It is not what you are, it is what you look like. You could be the worst pedophile, a drunk, addicted to illegal drugs, an embezzling thief, a liar, an adulterer, and as long as you made your required monthly quota of "field service" hours, gave regular contributions to the K.H., and match the grooming and dress that the governing body mandates, and if a male are appointed by the time you are 23 you can pretty well get away with anything.

  A reddit commenter said child porn is not a df-ing offense? is that true?

  The Shepherd The Flock secret elders manual in chapter 5 par. 14 states:

  "Though this is not an exhaustive list, gross uncleanness may be involved in the following: An entrenched practice of viewing, perhaps for years, abhorrent forms of pornography, that is sexually degrading. Such pornography may include. . .child pornography. Brazen conduct would be involved if the offender was promoting such material, such as by inviting others to view it, thus giving evidence of a brazen attitude."

  And there is the get out of jail free card. Child porn only may be gross uncleanness, and if one were not promoting it with others then it likely would not rise to the level of brazen conduct which is the fall back, catch-all excuse to DF anyone for any reason that three judgmental elders can cook up amongst themselves. Just shows the Borg's thought process for excusing child sexual assault as only a judicial sin rather than a legal crime.

  I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.

  So the Bible says those words, and and yet JW's will by their actions say, "They are lost cause's, not simply a lost sheep. They do not serve God, or listen and obey the governing body. They have forgotten God's commands. Let's soft shun them!"
