what did the physician luke report happened to a young man, and how did that affect others?”.

paragraph 11 in this wt reads:.

Another case of WT making up imaginary light. Hey who knew that by throwing in the word "perhaps" you have a fact.

So am I understanding correctly that the special talk will now be recorded and presented to all congregations who's language is on the list? If so, it's another example of the control the gb is exerting over everyone. It is controlling more than ever not only what information is given but how it is presented. Most likely assemblies are next.

When lacking education makes you say some eternal truths

i think some of us are familiar with those jw facebook pages that post images that are shared by our contacts from time to time.. i don't know if this happens with english speaking jws, but in the case of spanish speaking jws many of those images contain some spelling and grammar mistakes.. but this one is killing me nicely.. .

it literally means: "unless you use your life to serve jehovah, you will never feel empty".. beautiful :').

Wow never have they spoken so much truth!😂

by Festus in

local newspaper in finland has published an article concerning wtbs:s "pillowgate@ videos.

the local "communications manager" of jehovah's witnesses - veikko leinonen - has declined to comment them.

according to him they are for internal use only.

He said what he's been programmed to say.

i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .

and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

Welcome lurkers. This site in addition to Crisis of Conscience, jwfacts.com and the Watchtower's own Kingdom Interlinear helped me wake up. You will find people with amazing knowledge here.

New Member Of The Governing Body 24 Jan 2018

by pale.emperor in

just seen this announced on reddit:.

ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.

i dont recall him from the broadcasts, but he was formally a helper on the writing committee as per https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/.

Incredible! The guy is all of a sudden annointed. He must've replaced an unfaithful ex-annointed. Stupid.

CL&M part Jan 4 - annual meeting service report - our outstanding experiences

by loneranger in

this was the first part in the "living as christians" section of the meeting tonight.

speaker had two pioneers on the stage to relate their outstanding experiences for 2017. we have 23 pioneers and over 160 publishers in the hall.

our territory is densely populated with single family houses, apartments and condominiums.

Are you serious

Lol I remember really struggling to find someone who had a good experience and that was in a Spanish congregation mind you. They were difficult to come by and I usually ended up getting a pioneer who would recount a somewhat good experience that another publisher had.

Since leaving the JW Organization, who is believing?

by Issa in

friends

i left the jw organization last year during summer.

maybe some of you can relate.

who of you are agnostic or an atheist?

Are you serious

I'm agnostic at this point in my life. Definitely don't believe in the war-mongering, jealous, murdering, evil god of the bible. I haven't delved enough into evolution to form an objective opinion on it. At this point I have no idea how humans ended up on earth but I'm not obsessed with that either. Just trying to live my life.

Don't you think that some people are just better off within the org?

by paradiseseeker in

this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.

first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?

some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.

Are you serious

Bienvenido paradiseseeker😀. I've had similar thoughts regarding certain ones in the congregations. If they are all in as a jw it may have a really bad effect on their lives if they awakened. Some have EVERYTHING riding on the paradise hope and resurrection. If they were to have an inkling of doubts their cognitive dissonance would kick in immediately to protect themselves and protect their hope. ¡Mucho gusto en escuchar de tí!
