  Prince Andrew, the Walls are Closing In

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  one thing i've learnt over the years is to read between the lines.. that means reading statements carefully.. if you have never met someone, would you say "i have never met them" or would you say "i don't remember ever meeting them"?.

  the latter is just a get-out out in case evidence is presented that you did in fact meet them, because there is a photo of you with your arm around them in the upstairs of a pedo's friends, girlfriends house, which you also claim you never went to.. what will happen if the us jails a uk royal?

  who knows.. before then i just hope he does another of those "utterly convincing" bizarre interviews to "prove" how he couldn't have done it because he is incapable of sweating (cut to photo of sweating andrew).

  I suspect there are many dozens, if not hundreds, of famous folks who are absolutely terrified at the thought that full details of their association with Epstein & actions related to such may become known.

  Increase = Jehovah’s Blessing?

  by Reservations in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’ve been trying to find any recent quotes that say the increase in witnesses every year is evidence of jehovah’s blessing on the organisation.. i know the ready made excuse if there is a decrease is “love of greater number will cool off”….

  after splanes talk i can feel a significant decrease coming..

  allowing them to count 15 minutes writing a letter that will end up in the bin.

  It's now even more lenient than that. JWs can just report that they were "active" in the ministry for the month, if they had, I guess, one nanosecond or more of "giving a witness".

  The instructions are that if someone reports as merely "active", the word "active" is recorded on their publisher card for that month. Of course, if they did have "hours", they are expected to provide the number.

  This arrangement applies to all JWs, not just ones approved by the service committee.

  But, obviously, anyone with "privileges" would be expected to report "hours", thus continuing to be "exemplary".

  Splane's talk just tells me that they are monitoring this site as well as Reddit and whatever other forums there are.

  There was a poster on this forum many years ago who confirmed this.

  He was involved in a lawsuit with one of the WTS corporations, don't recall which one nor the subject of the court case, but the attorney for the WTS corporation presented as evidence printouts of some of the poster's comments from this very forum.

  Jesus, without sin and a perfect human being ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how could he be, regardless of how god impregnated mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the bible.. mary was subjected to the adamic sin like all other humans, so jesus had to at least be part sinner himself.. to believe otherwise is just deluding oneself imho .. the only way jesus could have been really without sin is if god created him the same way he created adam.. what do you think ?

  Mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the Bible.

  The Catholics figured this one out many centuries ago.

  STUDY ARTICLE When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2021. study article 39. when a loved one leaves jehovah.

  2 think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!

  (jude 6) and imagine how hurt he was at seeing his beloved people, the israelites, rebel against him time and again.

  We need to remember that Jehovah has given each of us the gift of free will. This means that we can choose whether we will obey him or not.

  I know this is not the point of this article, but once again, these numnuts still can't see how utterly ridiculous this idea is.

  God: "I'll give you free will, but if you actually, you know, use it, I'll slaughter you mercilessly."

  What's the point of having "free will" if you are punished for using it?

  JW "free will" (to be fair, pretty much any Christian religion's version) is comparable to the "free will" you have when a mugger holds a knife to your neck and says "give me your money!" Well, yeah, you have "free will" to say "nope", but the consequences are immediate, irreversible, and fatal.

  A-hoooga! A-hooga! All hands on deck! This is not a drill!
  

  "Send lawyers, guns, and money, dad, get me out of this"

  Wait a minute - if Splane says (in his Saturday afternoon convention talk) that Jesus recommends settling everything out of court because the criminal and civil court systems of the entire world are hopelessly corrupt, why do they need so many lawyers? It doesn't seem like there would be an urgent need for gobs of lawyers if all they need to do is negotiate out of court settlements for "lying apostate" accusers.

  Still no autism and can't receive or transmit 5G

  But Bill Gates knows exactly where you are now, and is personally tracking your every move!

  IIRC, I think he reports it to George Soros.

  The good thing is the fact that they had to give this talk at all.

  As the comments in the reddit speculate, it seems he is trying to get out ahead of something big. It seems very unlikely that the few minutes segment on the generally not-very-popular Vice channel would be enough to generate a 30 minute reply.

  Politicians do this all the time - get out ahead of the story, plant doubt in advance so that when the news breaks, they can say "See? We told you they'd do something like this."

  What's the big news to come?

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/ot7z2e/splanes_apostate_rant_transcription/

  There are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:

  Now, I’d like to say a kind word to some who may be involved in discussion forums. You may like to use this medium to blow off steam, so to speak. Maybe there are little things in the congregation that are happening that you wonder about or decisions the elders have made that you wonder about, and so you write.

  You get involved in the forum, and you blow off steam, and after that, you feel better. But what about others in the forum? How do they feel? Wouldn’t you feel awful if negative comments you made were responsible for someone leaving the truth? I know you wouldn’t want that to happen. So please, please, be careful about what you say.
  

  My comments:

  -- Anything explicitly mentioned in this talk must have been provoked by dozens or hundreds (thousands?) of reports from dozens or hundreds of CO reports. So apparently there is a significant number of JWs who join forums (such as this one) to "blow off steam", then go back to being JWs

  -- Splane gives them "a kind word". I find that thoroughly bizarre, folks like that are blatantly fitting, to a tee, the WT definition of "brazen conduct". They are flouting the clear direction and counsel coming directly from the GB (this ain't the first time an "apostate warning talk" has been given). These folks are deliberately "mixing in company" not just with "sinners", but "apostates", several orders of magnitude worse (from a JW perspective).

  -- He also comments on "decisions the elders have made". Who knows more about the "decisions elders have made"....than elders? It seems he is referring to elders coming to forums such as this one to "blow off steam".

  -- Even so, he only has "kind words" for them. Why? Why not rain down fire and brimstone on the heads of all these dozens or hundreds or thousands of elders who apparently come to sites like this one, and inform "the world" about WT-world goings-on, then return to continue as, in effect, double agents.

  I don't get it. Why the tolerance extended to such an evidently large group of evidently disloyal adherents?
