@ snugglebunny - "JEHOVAH'S organization" in the scriptures? The word "organization" itself doesn't appear in the Bible, and therefore is unscriptural - just like "trinity."! :)

Many thanks again Wifibandit.
As Listener suggests, the Circuit changes probably imply that the Kingdom Hall bargain sale will rapidly increase over the next 6-9 months, so that the "consolidated/merged" congregations can be morphed into the new "consolidated/merged" Circuits.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

gb, PLEASE, PLEASE UP THE ORGANIZATIONAL HARSHNESS IN 2018
by steve2 insometimes i have expressed a longing for jw organization to tone down its rhetoric and become, well, nicer and more loving.
i have not been alone in my hope.
some posters have even said that if a wave of kindness washed over jw organization and, say, the shunning doctrine was modified (e.g., left up to the individual's conscience without fear of retribution from elders), they'd go back.

Steve2, I fully expect your plea to be answered over the coming months. The WTBTS's money-grabbing & doctrine changing chariot has gradually been accelerating over the past few years and must now be in top gear - especially their "Master plan" of merging and consolidating congregations.
The coup de grâce (a deathblow administered to end the suffering of one mortally wounded) for many JW's will be when their Kingdom Hall gets sold from right under their feet. The media & authorities will help too!

Snooker debate has finally been settled...................
by The Fall Guy in............by the most successful player to date, stephen hendry himself.. while commentating on the uk masters final last night, he said this;.
“if there's anyone in any sport displaying more genius at their sport than ronnie o'sullivan does at snooker, i've yet to see it.
best player i've ever seen!”.

Game or sport, doesn't alter the fact that he is a genius at it. I see people who are great or fantastic to watch at their sport and some can even be brilliant at times, but O'Sullivan's abilities on a snooker table are on a totally different level from every snooker player who's ever lived. He's not one in a million - he's one in billions.

All of my life I've bee privileged to see great sportsmen/women, but never one whom I would describe as a genius - until Ronnie O'Sullivan appeared. I was delighted to hear Stephen Hendry express the same sentiments I've felt for several years. Well done to him, and thanks and praise to Ronnie O'Sullivan for his incredible playing skills.

Why do we speak out once we learn TTATT?? Because the Society TRAINED us to do so!
by stuckinarut2 ini was just thinking about how the gb / society hates it when people like us dare to speak up or mention anything negative about the society.. they try and demean us, or colour witnesses view of anyone who leaves - especially if we speak up!
we know the sort of rhetoric they have been spewing forth over the last few years.. but the gb needs to face the fact that we speak out because we have been trained to do so by them!
they have used scriptural passages to encourage us repeatedly to "preach with boldness"(acts 4:29-31 eph 6:19).

It's a fact - J.W.'s are primed by the cult not to prolong any conversations with anyone who wants to discuss the Bible - only if they want to study WT literature.
In my experience, the vast majority of J.W.'s themselves don't study scriptures. They rely on their Warwick spoon-feeding.

Is the name Jehovah`s Witnesses a misnomer ?
by smiddy3 ini ask this because from what i read on this board lately is that they jw`s seem to be very reluctant to engage in conversation with anybody nowadays and are only interested in placing literature at carts.. and if anyone brings up questions in their d2d work that challenge them ( like the arc ) they will promptly excuse themselves and move on.
also didn`t jesus say "this good news of the kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth " for a witness ?.
when was the last time you heard a jw speak about "the good news of the kingdom" ?

Not just a misnomer, but anti-scriptural and anti-Christ as a previous post proved.
Here is the essence of it: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4885250786197504/what-org-teaches-8-jehovahs-witnesses-our-scriptural-name
Isaiah 62:2 - "... be called by a new name, which the very mouth of Jehovah will designate."
Acts 11:26 - "the disciples were by divine providence called Christians."
Matthew 10:18 - ".....for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations.
Mark 13:9 - "......before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them."
Luke 24: 47,48 - "....and on the basis of his [Jesus'] name....You are to be witnesses....."
John 1:15 - "John bore witness about him..." [JESUS]
John 5:37 - "the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me."
John 8:18 - "the Father who sent me bears witness about me."
John 15:26,27 - "the spirit will bear witness about me; and YOU in turn, are to bear witness."
Acts 1:8 - "You [11 faithful apostles] will be witnesses of me...."
Acts 4:17,18 - ...upon the basis of this (Jesus') name .... upon the basis of the name of Jesus.
Acts 10:39 - "And we are witnesses of all the things he [Jesus] did..."
Acts 10:43 - "To him [Jesus] all the prophets bear witness....."
Acts 13:31 - "who are now his (Jesus') witnesses to the people.
Acts 22:15 - "because you are to be a witness for him [Jesus] to all men......"
Acts 22:20 - "......the blood of Stephen your [Jesus'] witness was being spilled..."
Acts 23:11 - "..... a thorough witness on the things about me in Jerusalem..."
Acts 26:16 - "I [Jesus]..choose you as an attendant and a witness.. respecting me"
Romans 8:16 - "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit..."
1 Corinthians 1:6 - "even as the witness about the Christ..........."
1 Timothy. 2:6 - "......what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times."
2 Timothy 1:8 - "............of the witness about our Lord.. [Christ]"
1 John 5:9 - "the witness God gives...the fact that he has borne witness concerning his Son."
Revelation 1:9 - "....for speaking about God and bearing witness to Jesus."
Revelation 12:17 - ".......and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus."
Revelation 17:6 - "........and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus."
Revelation 19:10 - ".....the work of witnessing to Jesus.... bearing witness to Jesus."
Revelation 20:4 - "............ for the witness they bore to Jesus."
Ask any J.W. to counter all of these scriptures with just one verse which says Christians must witness for "Jehovah."
The embarrassing silence, followed by a feeble non-scriptural "explanation" will say it all.

The alleged "faithful slave" wasn't being very discreet when they "recommended" to their followers that only WTBTS
propagandapublications from the year 2000 onwards be used for personal study/research - because of all the "new lights."Any JW's who ignore this "advice" and who discuss "old lights," will be seen as not keeping up with the org's chariot.
