Songs that help recovery

by peacefulpete in

jw
friends

are there songs that seem to speak to you?

maybe especially when leaving the church and losing friends and family.

i still pause when i hear hennly's heart of the matter.

Within your soul on sacred ground
Creation's song alive with sound
Let your light come upon a shining
Fly on, fly on
Within your heart on sacred ground
Upon surrender all is found
Let your light come upon a shining
Fly on, fly on

Missing Monthly Broadcast - May 2015

by Listener in

youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.

the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.

this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.

Bartolomeo

Something unusual is going on.
The following Monthly Broadcast video's have also been removed -
July, 2020
August, 2020
September, 2020
July, 2021
August, 2021
July, 2022
August 2022

this due to the pandemic, the regional congress was held postponed in the summer months instead of broadcasting

Watchtower looses Norwegian Appeal

by Diogenesister in

watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.

the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.

the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

@Riley
It saddens me to see people leave the borg and still be gullible idiots.
There are two types of people in the world. The first goes to University from 4 to 12 years and becomes a Nurse, Doctors or Scientists. The other reads facebook and twitter and cover their car with flags and stickers. The seconds believes they are equal to the first.

and all those doctors, scientists and other graduates who have a position against the Covid gene serums which category do they belong to?

Are you driven by vengeance or Payback?

by Fisherman in

“there is nothing more ironic and curious than a trapper being caught in his own trap or a plot backfiring.

ironic justice is the best revenge.” the inventor of the brazen bull, one if the most heinous torture devices in history was tricked to go inside of it and died of the torture he created.. probably one of the greatest movies ever made features revenge as its theme: once upon a time in the west.

sadly in this movie the main character doesn’t rely on ironic justice happening by god or chance.

Bartolomeo

Revenge has definitely never been part of my set of rules of life.
Of course I suffer in noting and sometimes experiencing on my skin the various injustices that life puts you in front of but I have always believed in a kind of "law of universal balance" which I am convinced in the long run will do its job.
In the same order of ideas I believe that part of my misfortunes may be the consequence of the injustices I have committed more or less consciously.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Apostates

by tfjw in

jehovah's witnesses basically define the term "apostate" as someone who was once a member of the "organization" (a jehovah's witness) but no longer follows the teachings, rules, regulations and practices.

the society gives their official definition in the following manner: "apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of god, actually a rebellion against jehovah god.

some apostates profess to know and serve god but reject teachings or requirements set out in his word.

Bartolomeo

all shareable, but the real question is:

what does the Bible really say about apostasy? how and where does talk about it?

because for example in the Hebrew Scriptures the original term that the WT translates as "apostate" literally means godless

Our J.W friends still have issues with beards 2022??Why?

by Witness 007 in

our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.

he for real, had to give an answer why.

this is pharasees total rubbish.

Bartolomeo

@Disillusioned

The WT's September 2022 study article (as shown in the JW website) called ' “Bringing the Many to Righteousness” ' shows the biblical Daniel wearing a beard in the New World paradise Earth and the caption to the illustration says the following. "How thrilling it will be to see Daniel, our loved ones, and many more “stand up” for their lot in the new world! (See paragraph 20)"

on the other hand in the symposium on Sunday morning of the last regional congress they presented Joseph without beard at a table among brothers, in a post-Armageddon environment ... always the usual double standard, the usual WT ambiguity
