this is the watchtower study article being studied today.
so it’s the current new light!.
what are the new qualifications to be an “elder-aka older man...and circuit overseer?.
They took me off microphones when I had not been out in the ministry for a few months, but when they needed a highly specialized and uncommon and skill for a building project, they we quick to call.
I explained that I was not qualified to even hold a microphone, so "I don't see any way that I can help you".
That felt so good.

the universe came into being 13.8 billion years ago in the big bang.
after an initial flash, it went through a period known as the cosmic dark ages.
according to a new study, probing cosmic dawn, 250 to 350 million years after the big bang the first stars emerged bringing light to the cosmos.
It is obvious that allah created the universe - why else would it have started with a big bang???

at the direction of our heavenly father, yhwh (יהוה), i am providing you with information which this world has never comprehended or have found the meaning to.
the account of shadrach, meshach, and abednego cast into the fire flame.
this is divine proof that he, along with jesus, are with me now in preparation of taking over his world through his son jesus christ, amen!!
Dear EisMe, sorry to burst your bubble:
The Jews are of no special significance.
They are not chosen buy God.
They are very good at leveraging the above lies to there own advantage.

when the gb brought a formal end to all the type/antitypes in so many ways it could be said that they brought the religion to an end.
the other sheep/anointed teaching that leads to a two class religion was originally based on two antitypes--the jehu/jehonadab relationship and something about the cities of refuge.
in that 2014 annual meeting talk david splane even specifically stated that the cities of refuge has no antitype.
Thanks for that, aqwsed12345.
I this that this is post of the week, in essence, the WT dynamited the towers own foundations when they dropped antitypes. I remember the announcement well and remember thinking... what the heck... where too now???
If I was good at using AI image generation, I think I could make a pretty good meme out of this, anyone want to give it a go?

this website is an invaluable source of knowledge for me in my deconstruction journey as i gradually fade away from the org.
i absolutely love it here.. however, i haven't been very well as of late.
and i make an effort to bring a sad little message.
Hey Ukpimo, sorry to hear that you are unwell. There is some good news on cancer treatments recently using repurposed drugs that are very cheap and very safe and seem to work very well.
They are very cheap because the patents have expired and big pharma can no longer make any money out of them. For this reason and also that they threaten sales of very expensive drugs, you will not hear anything about these drugs from your doctor or the media.
Best wishes,

is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.
is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?
they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..
- It is about as special as the "special sauce" in a Big Mack.

locally, in northern california i have seen/heard a drop in jw and mainstream church attendance especially in person attendance.
(exception: a new creepy local new-age charismatic/pentecostal group: "bethel church" 11,000 and growing mega church(kundalini yoga/sex combined with prosperity gospel, trumpism, guns, rock music, dancing, glitter, speaking in tongues, and faith healing).. for me this paragraph sums it up regarding jehovah's witnesses: " ...smith described organized religion to me as having become a “polluted” idea in the american mainstream, because of the publicity around sex abuse scandals and financial malfeasance in many different faiths in the ’80s and ’90s as millennials came of age.
“the scandals violated most of the virtues believed to make religion good,” smith wrote.
Hey Rivergang, I like the Church of the Righteous Hog!
But in Australia... we have
2/2025 czech news agency czech culture ministry considers deregistration of jehovah’s witnesses.

Burn, baby burn!

i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.
mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.
i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.
"you don’t even know what happiness is until you step out"
Yep, that bit right there!
