  Interesting That in the Regional Convention They Are Asking for More Volunteers to Bethel

  by RubaDub in

  2. friends

  for those of us who could sit through the program so far, i did find it interesting that they are again asking for people to apply to bethel.. i happened to speak to a friend who called and asked him why they would do that.

  his response was that, well, they need younger people there.. i guess once you are over 50 or something you are eligible to be sent out to pasture..

  Rubabud do be careful you don't catch Covid 1914 at that convention. Make sure you take your temperature regularly.

  Did you ever know a JW who was political?

  one black sister would always slam the jews when there was anything on the radio or tv about the palestinian's.

  i knew others who had other ideas that were strange and not neutral as we were told to be.

  the black sister would dress like she was from africa in a dashiki robe from time to time.

  The Recent Legal Decision and WT Hypocrisy

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just to remind you, the recent court decision included a judgement about wt and freedom of speech something the organisation has long prided itself about.

  infosektamedia release of july 8, 2020 7. thewatchtower organisation denies members the human right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion according to article 18 statement by the expert (tages-anzeiger)"furthermore, article 18 states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, a right that the watchtower society claims for itself but does not grant its members.

  " judgment of the court by ostracizing members who no longer share the faith, they are implicitly denied freedom of faith and conscience (proof of good faith).

  Given what Watchtower does with arithmetic in relation to it's 1914 doctrine and given that arithmetic is either the most powerful tool of science or is science itself (maybe that is maths not arithmetic) - Watchtower does not allow freedom to even add up two and two to get four. That hinders a member in relation to scientific equiry.

  Ever noticed how Rev 13:17 is always left out of their explanation of 666. They apply the number to politics like the image that Nebuchadnezzar set up and not pledging allegiance. But they never really explain Rev 13:17 which is specific in saying you wont be able to buy or sell:-

  (Revelation 13:17) . . .and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. . .

  what a weekend.

  i have my normal medications to take; one white pill, one purple pill, one blue pill, one yellow pill ... you get the idea.. but having to watch the regional assembly on-line had me stressed.

  i now realized i accidentally took too many of those big purple pills.

  JW News

  the latest news release on jwdotorg concludes with the sentence: "more information will be provided on jw news as we confirm the details of this ongoing situation.".

  i just thought it was funny them using the capitalized phrase "jw news" now.

  imagine jwn, the ultimate fake news network 😅.
