Describe life as a JW.

by Overrated in

jw
friends

under constant watch of other jw.

being told how your life is run.

everything you do under a microscope.

A watcher I agree so much. Jehova really helps you progress in life. The earthly organization it's just a racket and a snare.

what do jws think about a regular member in congregation can be disfellowshipped, but when governing body makes something wrong, like two witnesses rules on child molestation, it's just considered 'they are not perfect' and can do wrong?

Unnoticed 2018 merger in Qubec

by Corney in

three years ago, on september 1 - 4, 2018, watch tower society of quebec (la tour de garde, société de bibles et de traités du québec), finalised its merger ("voluntary amlgamation") with "123 incorporated congregations of jehovah's witnesses in quebec," with kingdom halls owned by these incorporated congregations (total book value - ca$114,390,856, or 92 million usd) becoming assets of the society.

quebec congregations continue to exist as unincorporated associations and registered charities, while wt quebec only "manages, maintains and constructs" khs ("in cooperation with" wt canada and jw congregation support (formerly regional building committee)) and appoints certain elders to officiate marriages in the province.. sources: .

Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

by pistolpete in

so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

asp59

Agree. They can really play out the 'we love the brotherhood so much and worse virus it on the way. Let's sell out everything and go online' card. They gonna milk this one.

JW zoom meetings have really given the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out" a new meaning 😁

Strange thing everytime there's a catastrophe or some thing happening in the world, ex jws or inactive ones return to org. Seems this time it's not happening. Shows org has lost power and grip. I'm sorry for all of you that love this org. But it's never coming back. Last best years were back beginning 90 s. The golden year's are over.

Strange heard assembly will be online for 2022. How they gonna go back to normal if KHs being sold and they building a media studio. Think it's just rumors from elder. Plus if world will end in 12 months what's the point of starting with door to door or meetings.😁

Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?

by pistolpete in

are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.

thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.

the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

I can understand you want continue the scam if you are a pastor in a church and live in mansions with own private jets. But if you live in a room in bethel. You workt manual jobs in bethel. Most of days are about meetings and reading litteratur. Being around other JWs all day. (I wouldn't have put up a whole day with people from congregation). Yes I believe most GB members at least believe 100% of the basic things taught by org. Like earth not being destroyed. Some going to heaven. Doubt they believe everything they teach. But they do believe in the basic things.

Think deluded. They bought the idea. Spend their whole life in it. Now they know so much is wrong but not much to do. Year's have gone by. What they gonna do if they resign from governing body with out education or pension. Go to congregation for help? How they gonna explain to congregation they left there position cause teachings are wrong. Religion a racket and a SNARE

Hamburg Court Decision

watchtower v. anti-cult organization sponsored by russia and france.. https://bitterwinter.org/fecris-sentenced-in-germany-for-defaming-jehovahs-witnesses/.

Jehovah’s Witnesses teenagers caught kissing are automatically “taken to a JW’s judicial committee,”

"cannot rebel within the home without being immediately judged by the congregation’s elders.” -

There's s lot of difference in what is stated in elders manual. And in what elders do. This things are not pointed out on that way in what i read in magazines. But some elders take this to a judicial committee. It's probably one of reason they wanna go online. Remove elders arrangements so watchtower don't get sued.
