the wt always said that preaching is a must for all christians as it was 'demanded' by jesus.
in the latest announcements, it has become clear the rank and file are only allowed to preach if the wt leaders approve.
in other words, all jw's are providing obedience to their wt leaders instead of jesus.
In other words, all JW's are providing obedience to their WT leaders instead of Jesus
And enforced to propagate their own unique version of the Gospel of Jesus which is in opposition to Jesus's own instructions and guidance, particularly concerning false prophet date setting which he himself condemned and admonished.
JWs are just sharing in the sins of the top GB leaders of this organization (WTS/JWorg.).
what do you think of them?
should a business or establishment require that you show proof that you have been vaccinated before they let you in?.
As for vaccine Passports
Since most people are going to be vaccinated by summertime, it would seems a bit redundant .
social isolation.
unloving shunning..
I cannot imagine my formative years filled with the dreadful talk of destruction and Armageddon.
Yes I would have to agree with that LHG
I knew of a JWS about 14 who hung himself in a garage behind a Kingdom Hall back in the early 1970's , about my age at the time.
It was assumed that all the talk and propagation of Armageddon coming in 1975 drove him to level of anxiety and depression.
At the time there was condemnation of the mental health profession by the WTS so his JWS parents refrained from taking him to seek psychiatric help for this young teenager.
Some years latter on another JWS friend of mind also took his own life out the fear and depression instigated by the WTS and its Armageddon soon doctrine.
The list of people who I knew through being a JWS myself and in association with others is disturbingly long.
Unfortunately people (JWS) who die this way doesn't get the attention as those who die from not taking a blood transfusion in the media.

hope link works.
I think they probably will once the social restrictions are lifted, its to their advantage in gaining potential people to the religion .
a viable option to pioneers
The numbers and accounting of those numbers are very important to the JWS religion.
The theory might be that if they dont maybe the top leaders of the JWS are secretly willingly let the organization fade and dwindle down while they still hold on to the millions $$$ in assets to themselves.
let me follow the trial.
in 1931 rutherford started jehovah's witnesses.
be before that.. bible student and they merged before 1917 with russelites and they merge with adventists, and then miller in 1844.before that be disperse into baptist and other denominations.
Much of these men's endeavors were derived from a personal drive of creating public notoriety of self importance and stature as being god's selectively chosen one(s) or channel to all mankind.
The Faithful and Obedient slave/servant as it were, a higher stature of righteousness than other practicing Christians as they proclaimed.
For example Russell was called by his followers the Laodicean Messenger .
Today's GB men of the JWS claim they are the FDSL or modren day disciples as described in the bible but in reality they are modren day false prophet apostates enacted through their own commercialized charlatanism.
social isolation.
unloving shunning..
Yes this is one of the causative results of the shunning practice orchestrated by the JWS religious cult.
Doesn't get mentioned enough in my opinion.
Just heard of another young woman (JWS) who took her life indirectly caused by the JWS cult that she got involved in.
The JWS religious cult does cause psychological harm in many various ways to people.

In review of all these men and their professing theology/preaching going back to William Miller in the mid 1800's up to today's JWS, they are and were false prophet apostates who didn't faithfully respect or adhere to Jesus's own stated proclamation and admonishment that of no one knows of the time.
Nevertheless power and money was connected to preaching these false doctrines to the public, in spite of these endeavors as being recognized and acknowledged sin through accurate and honest reading of the scriptures. .

One could correctly say the JWS religion was a breakaway from the International Bible Students Association, the doctrines that were created at the time (1931) were still derived from the IBSA, proliferated from the Watchtower Corporation publishing company and its directing leaders.
walked away from the trooth years ago(over 20) my older sister sends me an invite to the memorial via zoom.
i have no interest in jwism at all.
should i ignore or respond?.
Just say thank you but you've lost interest in " all " religion
after you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .
you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.
here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.
Since scripturaly the GB of the JWS are false prophet apostates , associating with these men is then bad association and dangerous to ones own spirituality.
