I seen african JWs posting on Facebook. Got to say there is something strange abouth them. Not saying they are fake. Something Odd abouth them and how they view things. Very very robotic. Just feel they have much much higher pressure to join organisation if someone in there family is JW. Or they see as opportunity to marrie maybe someone from the West.

13April 2019 Watchtower article 'Uphold the TRUTH about death'
by Listener init appears this study article has been written because the organization is still having trouble teaching african jws that they are not to follow their traditional customs when someone dies and not to believe in spirits.it has been speculated for some time that it is african jws that have attributed to the increase in 'anointed' partakers.interestingly, no-where in this article does it even mention their two class system and the anointed having a heavenly hope.
it is amazing that they title the article as upholding the truth about death and fail to mention their two hope doctrine.the following are some quotes -.
satan, “the father of the lie,” has deceived people since the start of human history.

Quo Vadis ..2019
by zeb inwell friends what is before us in the coming year?.
i often end my postings with 'live long and prosper in wisdom and health.
' this live long quote is taken from star-trek and it was the late wonderful leonard nimoy who suggested it from his orthodox jewish background.

Wonder abouth public talks. The organisation dont have school for giving talks anymore. In other words they can not really appoint anyone go give public talks. I mean if the school never met the standars they hade to shut it down, well then No one that gave public talks were up to standar and quality.

These days it not really that hard being a witness.
by I believe in overlapping inif you are a true believer, then you are toast.
because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.
believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.

A person dont even need to go to meetings anymore. Just say you listen by phone, watch meetings online or asamblys. Nothing compare to years ago. -

Hes not telling being JW is Good. Its abouth Common attitude among young JWs in the Western world. They are suppose to be the futur elders and ms. If organisation is still around in 10 years its gonna be a total diffrent one.

Question abouth wrong doing
by asp59 insome years ago watchtower wrote that some arrangement in the organisation, they probably made wrong.
some months ago tony morris said that faithful slave is not perfect and could have done some arrangements organisation wrong.
do you think they meant the two witness rule, the disfellowshipping arrangement or anything else?

Do you think they meant the two witness rule, the disfellowshipping arrangement or anything else? Cause bible say to confess sins. Should they not go out and tell congregations what they done wrong?

There should be a game with the name Who are the most blessed? Cause most groups are incresing in the third world. Muslim are incresing in Europe. To me if you are bless means you doing good were other religion are not doing good. Like Europe and USA. But organisation is doing as bad as rest of Christian groups. -

My message to those who have always placed heavy burdens on its members
by RULES & REGULATIONS inin this kingdom hall photo, there will be some members who will probably leave the organization.
some will stay and suffer just to be with family.
i feel sad for those who stay just to please the family.

does anybody remember "marking?"
by stillin infor a while there was this arrangement, based on 2thess:3:14, wherby a talk was given on the service meeting describing a dangerous influence in the congregation, and reference was made to that scripture, thereby indicating to the congregation that this threat exists here, and that you should distance yourselves from anybody fitting that description.
frankly, it bothered me because even if somebody didn't know who was really being referred to, they felt like they might, so the congregation formed little fractures of suspicion.
i wrote to the society because of this divisive effect (that i'm sure wasn't the intended effect; creating a phantom "marked man," breaking up the unity in the cong...etc.).

I mark congregation s that i think have a lack of hospitality. And they dont get help from me. Marking is easy. IF you are not perfect you can get markt 😁😂 But at the end Jesus words of not judging are more important.
