lithuania05/05/2024 09:30. jehovah's witnesses; baptism associative / e. ovcharenko / bns photo.. it is proposed to the seimas to refuse to grant state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah's witnesses religious community.. community representatives told bns that they hope that parliamentarians, taking into account the practice of the european court of human rights, will make a different decision.. the draft resolution registered by the chairman of the human rights committee of the seimas, tomas vytautas raskevičius, states that this community does not meet the requirements of the constitution and the law, that its education and rites do not conflict with laws and decency.. "the ministry of justice has determined that the religious teaching of this community is possibly not compatible with the constitution of our country in two aspects.
the first is that jehovah's witnesses oppose blood transfusions due to certain aspects related to health care (...).
Diogenesister - when WTC Legal equates DFing to DAing, they are dishonest. Is being fired from a job the same as quitting a job to take another?
Of course not - but JWs treat both the same - I am sure that this is not missed by the courts. Shame on WTC Legal for their twisting of the facts.
they are calling this the 2024 pioneer book.
it was actually printed in september of 2023, but that will be alright.

BANG!! Best comment of the day TonusOH!
i have several jw family members.
i have been shunned many years now.
i was not baptized, but i was indoctrinated as a child.
Actually, JWs have taught for many decades that Adam's sins could not be forgiven (nor could Eve's) since they sinned while they were in a perfect state. Furthermore, JWs believe that Jesus blood allows for forgiveness of sins. The friend that told the poster otherwise was incorrect.
However, JWs also teach that the wages of sin are death, and that the "slate " of sins is cleaned when one dies.
They also teach that the animal sacrifices offered did not actually exonerate anyone of sins - they merely foreshadowed the coming sacrifice of Jesus blood. They explain this during their annual observance of the Lord's Evening Meal (the Memorial). Some speakers have bungled it but the ones who follopw the outline seem to speak in unison.
Nevertheless, they still find ways to over-complicate each of these teachings, even when scripture seems to support their teaching. It is little wonder that many Rank & File JWs don't know what they believe.
jehovah's witnesses are a cult .
pure & simple!.
the wickedness we see prevalent today among the jehovah’s witnesses can no doubt be largely attributed to the leadership of the organization, the watchtower society and it's governing body.
Golden - thanks for clarifying. I appreciate the reasoning.
leaked info:watchtower received $497 million from one country (britain) in last six years!
[must watch!].
this video was just released with documented proof, see this link: https://jehovahstruth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=187#p187.
SBF - the money is not going to Africa.
South Korea is also very concerned about the money leaving their country. Other countries are as well. They see an American religion taking advantage of their citizens and moving wealth to their US corporate headquarters, meanwhile giving nothing in return.
the watchtower characterizes christians not affiliated with the watchtower corporation as vomit eaters and filthy whores: .
“how well they pictured the spiritual drunkards of christendom at the present time!
besides actual wine and intoxicating liquors, there are other things to intoxicate the priests and preachers in christendom so as to induce drowsiness in them, to make them reel, to confuse things before their religious vision, to induce them to belch out the vomit of spiritually filthy things” - w59 3/1 pp.
They have made no friends - that is certain. They have never been able to hide their jealousy of Christendom.

An organization that is corrupt from the start cannot be reformed. Any application to Bible prophecy relating to WTC getting discipline to help them course correct ignores the obvious truth that they have never had his favor.
Give me access to unlimited free labor, 145 years of tax free donations, and slavish servitude by desperate followers who want out of this world, and I think I would make Warren Buffett look like an rookie investor.
the watchtower society wants money, money and more money!.
the watchtower society has for some time now, secretly admired the harlotrous ways of her wicked counterpart, christendom.
yes, the many advantages christendom has gained over the years, adroitly avoiding any 'pains of life', persecution, or discomforts that are the result of maintaining a chaste and virtuous standing before jehovah.
No worries - they just sold the Queens Assembly Hall for $16 mil. There should be ample money foy those much needed Kingdom Halls in Mozambique. Let the good times roll!!!!!!
does anyone know how many hours were required to be a pioneer back in or around 1970?.
etude..
I called those “time machine tricks”.
One day it dawned on me that some pio’s were fabricating precious hrs in the ministry. I stopped - It all seemed so pointless as I realized they were unproductive in their “ministries”.
Somehow they managed their personal self esteem in being called pioneers. In reality, they were sad people and impressed no one. All were uneducated, shallow, and pitiable. It still makes me sad thinking about it.
secret recording 14th april:ralph walls: more changes are coming!.

Ciro just passed away a week ago. He was 93 years old.
He used to travel over to the UN weekly during the years that WTC was an NGO. His driver would drop him off and pick him back up when he was ready. Some say that the UN idea was his but I don’t know. He was an out of the box thinker and fully supported by the administration.
I still marvel that some JWs deny their involvement - even after the UN posted confirmation as an NGO. The dishonesty among apologists is astounding.
