it's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.
If the WTS/JWorg is still around, yes for thats the strategic psychological game it plays onto people for exploitation and manipulation purposes.
The end is near so you better act to are directions or else.
Good things will happen to you if you do , bad things if you dont !
.......do you have any money ???
2021-jehovah’s witnesses accused of selling off assetsand moving cash to avoid sex abuse compensation.. .
some of the folks here might want this article.
those young folks over there are really working overtime to assist the authorities.
Not surprising at all.
Remember when the WTS/Jworg. heads instructed all Congregations to dispose of any written information about members who were expected being involved with child or underage sexual abuse ?
To be honest I hear they are now going to accept the redress scheme in Australia after refusing to do so.
Off the letter .......
The SaySorry.org group told the Redress Scheme that JW had:• remained silent in relation to the Redress Scheme,• refused to join the Redress Scheme,• refused to meet with survivors,• shunned child abuse victims within their own religion,• refused to say sorry for holding the statistical record for having the most child abuse victims per membershipnumber of all institutions within Australia,• refuse to adopt any Royal Commission recommendations;They have called for a raft of recommendations including:· the tax concessions be revoked for all charitable status of all the JW related charities;· a compliance audit for all JW members and entities working with children;· implement a redress scheme to pay abuse claimants and then pursue institutions for payment;· the JW organisations be subject to scrutiny, audit and investigation by ASIC, the ACNC, the AFP, and other federalor state law enforcement agencies.
most people over the generations have taken pride in their heritage, nationality and country they are from.
it’s not uncommon to hear of “proud” italians and proud irish people , as an example.
are you proud of your country and your nationality or do you feel shame or indifference?.
Yah Canada baby
notice that i left off "benevolent" .
reason being is because i could argue that being all knowing and all powerful is not a prerequisite of being "good".
yet i'm a firm believer that "something didn't come from nothing".
No because there is no evidence of such a thing, but it might be possible in a world we dont completely know all about.
anybody know something about vat 4956?.

The said scholar maintains his adherence to God's Word the Bible also championed by celebrated WT scholars.
Sounds like someone drank the Koolaid provided by the Watchtower Corporation and its sinning men.
If you really adhered to the bible you would have acknowledged Jesus's own words when he said that no one knows of the time not even he.
By the way he said that 500 years after the fall of ancient Jerusalem.
You adhered to the men running the WTS and their words instead.
hello.. i remember some time ago someone brought up a letter to congregations or some other similar instruction, instructing the elders to "contact the authorities immediately" if something like a robbery or trouble came upon a kingdom hall.. does anyone remember that?
and what was the source of that instruction please?
.
Is this surprising to any degree ?

He doesn’t care about the facts, just his religious dogma.
Couldn't agree more Jeffro
Problem is he is siding with false prophet religious teachers (sinning apostates)

The question remains will Jesus forgive the WTS men and their corrupt dishonest bible teachings or not ?
Will he accpet their actions as being sins to be forgiven ?
I think probably not .
They made themselves through proclamation as being "Thee" chosen spokesmen for all mankind by God, yet they were self avowed false prophet/teachers.
People who god said to not listen to through his spoken word and being avowed to be " True Christians " through baptism to Jesus Christ and his word.

Absolutely!!!!
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Isn't that right Scholar ?
Then your a corrupt intellectually dishonest bible scholar, just like the so called WTS/JWS bible scholars.
Jesus will one day acknowledge the company you keep
