  2021 Convention - Leaked Video

  by projecthydra in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we are pleased to provide you with the closing video of the 2021 convention which was prematurely uploaded to jw.org and subsequently.you can download it here.. warning: the music and scenarios play heavily on the emotions.

  this is how watchtower subtly removes all rational and critical thinking after 3 days of emotional manipulation.

  the song's chorus somehow contains samples from josh groban - you raise me up.

  The music sounded nearly identical. I played both videos at the same time and mostly heard no difference.
  

  Of course WT will NEVER admit that they copied most of a song as long as "two or more" notes are different.

  I see a number of thumbs down votes on the first few comments that seem to indicate someone who is pro BLM and anti- law enforcement. It must be the troll is back?

  @Biahi- I wish I could have been at your conventions.

  The ones where I went were more like:

  1) DONATE DONATE DONATE

  2) Do more!

  3) DONATE DONATE DONATE

  4) We are in the final part of the final part of the final part of the last days, so DO MORE!

  5) DONATE DONATE DONATE

  5) Now stand for the final song and prayer. Wasn’t this a fine, up building assembly?

  6) Show your appreciation and DONATE DONATE DONATE

  Sorry, I just couldn't resit.

  Do you wear the badge in your best meeting clothes, and with all the family so adorned, ? Do you prepare a packed lunch and drinks , open the windows to get that outdoor feel while gathering round the laptop .....so as to pretend you are at stadium?

  Yes, and not only that but get in the car several hours early, drive several blocks from home, park the car in direct sunlight so it gets good and hot during the day, then trudge back home dragging the over-sized cooler of food, all the books and notepads one can lug, then stand at the front door until 8:00 A.M. and run to the most uncomfortable chairs one could find to put in front of the computer, make sure the chairs are as close as possible to each other, make sure you have zero leg room to stretch out, then sit there until the whole snooze fest starts.

  Will Jehovah’s Witnesses Go Back To Normal Activities?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most every state has a plan to get back to normalcy.

  many countries also are ready to get their citizens on the road to recovery.. where does this leave the witnesses?

  will they ever go back to house to house ministry?

  They have said in their announcements/letters that the JW's must not be in a hurry to relax the guidelines/mandates /social distancing/lock-downs ad-nauseam, with the "reminder" that THE WORLD rushes to do so only for financial reasons. (Not their exact words, but anyone can read between the lines and know what they mean.)

  Just like some politicians, I think the JW religions leaders will not loosen the grip of control now that they have experienced the increased control with the excuse of COVID. They will "suggest" that good little dubbies will continue to do everything that they were months behind in implementing a year ago for the foreseeable future. Already there are JW's in the area I live that are getting very vocal, and very irritated because not everyone is getting the gene therapy jab, and voicing the opinion that there will be congregation imposed restrictions placed on any who do not get the jab.

  And even though Arizona alone may not change the outcome it does show that what conservatives have been alleging did happen and it should trigger a full scale forensic audit of all states, especially the ones that had sudden surges of votes for buydumb after the polls closed.

  Now a question that I do not really expect a reasonable answer for; For you who claim the vote had no issues, why do you not promote a complete, independent, forensic audit if you are so sure? If you are correct it would put to rest, positively the allegations of voter fraud once and for all. What are you lefties so afraid of??

  Phone-witnessing conversation

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just got called by a lovely elder(ly) woman trying to get a conversation started about the state of affairs in the world and if it is ever going to get better (this introduction is so old, this came straight from the old 1980's brown book of conversation starters).

  at first i asked whether she was a telemarketer, no, she is a "bible student".

  i hadn't heard that in a while, so i asked her what denomination, she kind of struggled and quietly said i'm one of jehovah's witnesses - the embarrassment was palpable.. so i said, oh, i'm one of jehovah's witnesses too!

  If the Watchtower and the Bible were in conflict, which would you believe?

  I used something very similar in a conversation some time ago with an elder who still occasionally speaks to me. He was telling me how, "even if the governing body make mistakes they love us and do genuinely have out best interests at heart, and that we need to follow their instructions for that reason." I asked him what Acts 5: 29 said and told him that I would obey God rather than eight men in New York if given the choice. Conversation stopped by his choice at that point.

  Are Watchtower library CD's of any use? Yes, they are. Tied up with bits of fishing line they can be used to create an irritating movement to birds. Birds are naturally sensitive to movement and their first instinct to deal with potentially dangerous situations is to avoid them by flying away. When sunlight hits the CD’s it will create a light which will flash all over the intended area, whilst any wind will move the CD’s around and therefore the lights, hitting any birds in the eye, irritating them and causing them to fly away.They also make nice targets when tied up to a wire fence for sighting in my firearms.

  And. . .right on cue I would bet WT will come out with one of their goofy white-board animations giving the same information as "food at the proper time" or maybe a Caleb and Sophia cartoon, and claim that it was their love for the brothers and sisters that prompted it.

  Here in the U.S. it was several weeks AFTER the CDC had settled on some guidelines for "safe" contact such as cough in your elbow, wash your hands, bump elbows instead of handshaking that WT put out one of their announcement letters, under the guise of taking care of the brothers and sisters, stating what everybody with ears and eyes already had seen and heard.

  1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  awake!

  "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  "Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom."

  Dear Brothers,

  Please do not be alarmed by those who dare speak out against us as Jehovah's mouthpiece. While some may use this statement we made one-half century ago, and that we covertly claimed came directly from Jehovah's mouth to our ear, and that we provided to you dear brothers and sisters as food at the proper time in order to keep your anticipation of the end that was soon to come, we can confidently say that we were correct!

  Before the end of the twentieth century we did in fact see the fulfillment of our words. As we have seen ample proof of, the battle did in fact start as evidence shows. We saw the battle lines drawn by our increased internet presence in the late twentieth century continuing until now, the thousands of languages we have been able to publish the message of impending death and destruction for all who do not get baptized as Jehovah's Witnesses, and the way we have been blessed with increasing light proving that we were chosen as and continue to be the only source of communication between God Almighty and people humble enough to accept our direction, even when it does not seem to make any sense.

  Please be assured of our love. And show your love in return by sending money to WTB&T$.

  Your masters over your faith,

  Governing Body
