  Helpful Video with Fact Citations

  by Smiles in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this video may be helpful to someone you know inside or exiting wt captivity.. the video is one long hour, but it unpacks damning fact-checked citations along with some dredged audio clips of gb bs, such as fred franz publicly doubling down on 1975, and sam herd publicly degrading women.. the content will be familiar to most of us here, but it could be a 'narcan' antidote to help awaken someone from the jw poison overdose.

  millstone research video:.

  Fascinating Quotations of The Faithful Slave

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. bible

  do you have any amazing quotations that have been produced by the faithful slave over the years?.

  remember it's important that we should learn to love and value truth for it’s own sake; to respect and honor it by owning and acknowledging it wherever we find it and by whomever presented.

  a truth presented by the faithful slave himself is just as true as a truth stated by god.. share some of those amazing quotations that have fascinated you.

  Seat of their power - read it carefully. They change the number 3 into 11 by changing what they are talking about. Starts off as Jehoiakim's rulership then switches to Jehoiakim vassal service to Nebuchadnezzar. Its a different number 3! Like 3 apples are different to 3 pears. 1914 rests on this and Dan 2:1 (a different but equally silly trick).

  *** dp chap. 3 p. 32 par. 4 Tested—But True to Jehovah! ***

  The expression “for three years” is of special interest to us, for the opening words of Daniel read: “In the third year of the kingship of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.” (Daniel 1:1)

  *** w64 10/15 p. 637 A Haughty Spirit Is Before Stumbling ***

  It was this event that Daniel the prophet writes about: “In the third year of the kingship of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.” (Dan. 1:1) This “third year” of vassalage to Babylon would be the eleventh year of Jehoiakim’s entire reign and would be due to end on Adar 29, or March 19, 617 B.C.E. He died before he lived out the end of this eleventh year.

  I learnt sign language (a bit) but very few deaf people came to the meeting. Then I was encouraged to take up deaf/blind sign language. I managed to find a blind person who was almost interested but I never found a deaf and blind person who wanted me to sign into the palm of their hand.

  It all seemed a waste of time.

  And I don't know how they managed it but somehow they got a hearing transgender to have a study and attend the deaf group. I believe he had fathered 3 children but now identified as Daisy.

  my wife had a hip replacement on june the 17th and while the op itself was apparently succesful ,she has had a reaction to the anesthetic ?

  and has suffered delirium and is still in hospital with no apparent improvement.. its been very distressing for me to say the least.

  Wow must be high demand in these part to join the Knights Templars. You'll be able to tell the zealots - ask them if they know how to say Governing Body in Tzeltal.

  I'd love to know if the Welsh translation contains the word 'boyo'.

  My pleasure - and I know a lot here have lost their faith or struggled with it. Where ever you are in relation to that here's an act of kindness towards some little owls who had lost their mum.

  If kind people act like this towards baby owls, never forget just how important you are to kind people - they actually love you! Warts and all.

  You are worth more than many sparrows even to your fellow man.

  If they stick to this trend there will soon be more languages that their words are printed in than words.

  Interesting commentary on what might be happening.

  But I'm not advocating getting anxious about food. After all there's only so much spaghetti and tinned pies you can shove under you bed and I've known some people die of old age with a room full of tinned pies and biscuits.

  (Luke 12:22-24) . . .Then he said to his disciples: “On this account I say to YOU, Quit being anxious about YOUR souls as to what YOU will eat or about YOUR bodies as to what YOU will wear. 23 For the soul is worth more than food and the body than clothing. 24 Mark well that the ravens neither sow seed nor reap, and they have neither barn nor storehouse, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more worth are YOU than birds?
