  1985 and baptism...I wish I had read this before today

  by enoughisenough in

  i am posting a link as to being legally bound to jw rules at time of baptism.

  i only did a quick skim, but what i gathered is interesting, and what it says about 1985 may be of use to some hoping to just fade and not be bothered.

  in 1985, the questions were changed at baptism for legal purposes so they could have causation to defend themselves should you decide to sue for whatever reason.

  The WT is God to practicing JW's for all practical purposes.

  So very true. The sad thing is, they openly admit it and yet the sheeple are to willfully ignorant to see what is right in front of their own eyes.

  Whom do Jehovah's Witnesses bow down to? To Jehovah, or to the governing body?

  This is a direct quote from their Revelation book (bold is mine):

  *** revelation chap. 12 pp. 63-64 par. 19 “Keep On Holding Fast What You Have"
  

  19 From 1919 onward the anointed remnant, following Jesus’ example, launched into a vigorous campaign of declaring abroad the good news of the Kingdom. (Matthew 4:17; Romans 10:18) As a result, some of the modern synagogue of Satan, Christendom, came to this anointed remnant, repented and ‘bowed down,’ acknowledging the slave’s authority. They too came to serve Jehovah in union with the older ones of the John class. This continued until the full number of Jesus’ anointed brothers was gathered. Following this, “a great crowd ... out of all nations” has come to “bow down” to the anointed slave.

  what most jehovah’s witnesses don’t realize about their version of the new system is who’s gonna mow the grass?.

  after the system is destroyed who’s gonna make that nail your pounding with a hammer?

  I wonder if we will be expected to wear masks for the entire program?

  No doubt about it. Just like they do at the kingdumb halls.

  Starting September 01, 2022, the Angels will help in the ministry work

  2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.

  and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.

  not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.

  I think the GB are looking for persecution to happen.

  Not just looking for it to happen, also intentionally doing whatever they can to create situations where it will happen.

  If you have a snake in your back yard, you put on the light and shine it on the snake, you watch what it does.

  Not in my area. If it is a harmless snake we ignore it and let it crawl off to eat insects and mice. If it is a poisonous snake we KILL IT and dispose of it. We don't sit and watch it and poke it and try to herd it back in the yard so we can continue staring at it and poking it some more.

  Watchtower lawyer fined for misleading the court

  by Diogenesister in

  2. scandals

  watchtower lawyer david brumley has been fined for misleading the court during the discovery process of the montana case.

  the result was another 17 months of the courts time and the plaintiff having to produce evidence that wtpa did have a pivotal role in congregational business, which brumley had denied hoping that the courts would take his word for it.

  he will be personally responsible for reimbursing the costs accrued by the plaintiff, due to his misleading affidavit.. see mark o donnell's twitter statement here:https://twitter.com/mark_j_odonnell/status/1562205475374043136?t=emdh163jnfi8kb6zch-uga&s=19.

  @joey - "The whole thing seems a bit pathetic and smells like professional jealousy."

  I have broad shoulders and can take the weight of all the down votes I will get. I have to agree with your quoted comment. While most do not feel that way I am of the opinion that some, even on this board, who have their You Tube channels would fall into the category of ones who display jealousy for the followers he may have had at one time and needed to do what they could to take him down to boost their own You Tube presence. The fact that he is a hypocritical jerk was just the convenient "mean tweets" excuse to pile on and keep beating a dead horse. At this point there is no meaningful new information to bring to the table, and it should be put to rest.

  Now go ahead, down vote me to your hearts content, ban me, ignore me, slam me with your opinions as to why am wrong, I voiced my opinion and said what I meant, and meant what I said. No apologies!

  Immidiate regret. Third rule broken, namely: passion rules reason

  i chose world events as a topic because it was the only one that seemed fitting enough.

  i left work early (if you can call 445-3 early) so i could get some shopping done, fill up, grab a scratcher for the wife and be on my way home.

  after i filled the tank i strolled into the tiny room of the gas station, to find myself behind an argument just started.

  nationwide, almost one in five people (47.1 million) in the U.S. are living with a mental health condition.

  The number of Democratic voters in the U.S. is reported to be around 49 million. Coincidence? I think not!

  Yeah, I don't think so. Especially if I want something to go a certain way, I pray for just the opposite of what I want or need. That seems to be a sure fire way to get it done. After years of having prayers either unanswered or answered 180° from what I prayed about I figured out that it was mostly an exercise in futility.
