i’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.
Phizzy it is true according to the Masons. But they do tell lies but so does the Watchtower.
MrRoboto - There is talk of some elders being Masons too. Nothing would not surprise me. Even the land at Chelmsford has historical connections to the Knights Templars - maybe the GB are Knights Templar members? Or similar. After all they used the cross and crown symbol on the Watchtower and that is a Knights Templar symbol.

Yes. Very low attendance on recent CO visit - even on Zoom where they can play war games, eat pizza, not have the camera on and not pay any attention.
People aren't even bothering to pretend to attend by sticking their mobile device in the fridge or the toilet.
i hate anyone bothering me going door to door and house to house.
maybe it’s my jw background?
i dunno..
When they knock on your door say, "it's really sad the child died. Where is the grave? I would like to lay some flowers."
When they look puzzled, say - "oh didn't you know? One of the ingredients in the vaccine is the child called HEK 293."
They might quietly slink off at that point.
ok, i would like to submit to the forum the following question: in abstract, do you think that there is a right to not being exposed to ideas that you don’t like or disagree with?
please think it through and its implications on both ends of the spectrum.. it’s not the right to conscientious objection to do something you vehemently disagree with; it’s not about the liberty to chose which ideas you want to embrace or advocate.
it’s something different.. given that, as exjws, we understand the importance of being exposed to different opinions in order to form our own opinion, should someone claim the right not to be exposed to opinions or ideas that they don’t like?
You take the right by choosing not to watch. Millions now living are not paying a blind bit of attention to their Zoom meetings.
Actually did you know that one of the most effective ways to not listen to the Zoom meeting is to place your mobile device in the fridge. It's nice and sound proofed.
the emphasized bible (rotherham) is now included in the wt library under "other bibles.".
therefore it joins kit, kjv, asv, & the bible in living english in such group.. any thoughts?.
David Sidbury at London Bethel was not telling me the truth when he said it would be too expensive to put the Bible online.
He's the one who collected the many Bibles they had on display in UK.

According to the Masons, some JWs have joined their lodge.

What an opportunity. Invite them in, offer them a free home Bible study. Ask them if they'd like to live forever and tell them you have something far better than a vaccine. Ask them were they live, get their phone number - if they don't live in your area, arrange for a friend to call and call again and keep calling. Make sure you keep some tracts beside the door ready for them.
question: what does the watchtower society's history of prophetic speculation prove?.
how would you respond to this answer provided by paul coom... yesterday on quora?.
"our organization has never been a prophetic speculator.
What does it prove? With a little leaven they become hypocrites. And true to form they even say it themselves but point the finger at someone else, with of course 3 fingers pointing back at them.
*** kc chap. 11 p. 101 par. 11 Kingdom Illustrations ***
Viewing the sorry result of apostasy in Christendom, the “little flock” of Kingdom heirs and their companions today should beware that the “leaven” of false, deceptive teachings is never permitted to contaminate their heartfelt appreciation of the purity and truth of the “word of the kingdom
(Matthew 16:12) . . .Then they grasped that he said to watch out, not for the leaven of the loaves, but for the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
as someone else noted.
why is the new awake a setting in india in every illustration?.
Given WT is basically Theosophical, why not India? They could find another Buddha sorry, I meant World Teacher sorry, I meant Krishnamurti. That'd make 9 on the GB unless the new Brother Buddha encourages the other 8 to step down.
What really did it was the World Teacher Project.
“Blavatsky had stated in 1889 that the main purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the future reception of a “torch-bearer of Truth”, an emissary of a hidden Spiritual Hierarchy that according to Theosophists guides the evolution of Humankind. This was repeated by Besant as early as 1896; Besant came to believe in the imminent appearance of the “emissary”, who was identified by Theosophists as the so-called World Teacher.”
Well, in 1909 they found him. As it turns out, what a coincidence, living just next door to Theosophy’s headquarters in India, was a 14 year old boy Leadbetter discovered who was this great Teacher, the next Jesus and Buddha. Jiddu Krishnamurti was put into care of Theosophists, his father being too poor to care for him well, and Annie started grooming him for his great future role and established The World Teacher Project to trumpet his Messiahood.
She also began the group The Star In The East, which would follow and spread his teachings. These became the new center of Theosophy alongside Blavatsky’s work.
It was too much for some and the final straw for others. Theosophy began cracking and splitting. The worst split came in 1912 when Rudolph Steiner decided he had enough, split from Theosophy and took over 90% of German Theosophists with him.

Also - this scare-mongering film plays right into WT's hand. It is called Awake and speaks of a time when humanity has lost the ability to sleep. But we all know the remedy. Attend a meeting. Long kip guaranteed (so long as you don't have any privileges to attend to - top tip - don't reach out).
i have an idea for a jw tee shirt.
jehovah's witnesses redefining words since 1914.
Watchtower - the gold standard for insanity.
