However when the early Christian churches took a pagan sun festival and re-dedicated it to their own son of God birthday - the witnesses now point the finger at the churches and criticise them.

Talking to a Jehovah`s Witness .Ask the right questions .

by smiddy3 in

what questions should be asked to a jehovah`s witness when confronted with them.. a jw gives his sermon.

"you" immediately ask him by what authority he has from god that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different christian religions in the world who claim to represent god,.

jw.

I don't think there's any questions that get through to the dyed in the wool JW because they believe that shit 100% as I used to do also.

With me it was looking at Scriptures and looking at the org. Jesus said "come to me all you who are toiling and loaded down and I will refresh you." Why did I seldom feel refreshed after attending the meetings? Why were we being loaded down with petty rules? And why did Jesus say "come to me" when we were knocking on doors telling people to "come to the WT organisation“? That is just one example.

The Grooming Alchemist is Charlie McCoy’s establishment to create a community where men could find guidance and inspiration for their lifestyle needs. From hair & skincare to fitness, culture, and entrepreneurship, The Grooming Alchemist has its community’s best intentions in mind. Every aspect of the brand is carefully chosen and curated to appeal to everyone looking to step up their game.

Charlie McCoy wanted The Grooming Alchemist to create a lifestyle that could benefit people and their goals. Their mission is to help others unlock the next level in their personal and professional lives. They aim to create content revolving around lifestyle changes that are guaranteed to help men become who they want to be. Before he created The Grooming Alchemist, McCoy worked for a decade as a Jehovah’s Witness elder and missionary. Growing up with the religion, he felt trapped and often dreamt of going out and building a brand he could be proud to say was his. Eventually, McCoy was able to separate himself from the church to pursue an entrepreneurial career. Well done.

Who owns the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society

by pistolpete in

actually no one does.. i know this is a concept that can be hard for some to grasp, considering all other forms of organizations like sole proprietorship, general partnership, an llc, or a for profit corporation.

these organizations are created legally for the simple purpose of making a profit.. but unlike a for profit corporation,---- a nonprofit corporation is formed to carry out-.

whether that be religious, educational, charitable, scientific or other qualifying purpose.

Past Watchtower Society Comments On Vaccines

by BluesBrother in

today there is a lot of hope placed in a vaccines to immunise against covid 19 , and relief that they are soon to be available.

that will be shared by the eight million or so jws in this world.

they should be thankful that the wts has moved away from its teaching ,that lasted for decades , proclaiming that vaccination was wrong, and a tool of satan.

I was once told by a long serving missionary that the society changed its policy in or around the late 1940s / early 1950s because it dawned on them that missionaries going to foreign fields with dangerous diseases would need to be vaccinated. Suddenly the light became clearer and voilà! vaccinations were acceptable for them all to receive.

Who's he kidding!?

by Lost in the fog in

i had to read this paragraph twice in case i'd misread it the first time.

who is he trying to kid!?

mr gomez says, "there's very little rules, if any, most of our conduct is governed by principles, and there's a lot of room for us to make personal choices.

Mind you it says that he's been at a two week training school. Talk about being a bare faced liar with "There's very little rules IF ANY."

A friend of ours sent us a photo of a letter allegedly from the Queen of England's suite. The JWs are all excited by it. Don't think she actually reads all of the stuff she must get sent otherwise she'd be snowed under.
