someone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.
1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.
Thank goodness for the spirit-inspired or non-inspired 'slave.' (it changes with each side of their mouths)
How would we ever know how to understand this verse without them?
(Revelation 14:1) Then I saw, and look! the Lamb (figurative!) standing on Mount Zion, (figurative!) and with him 144,000 (literal!) who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. (figurative!)
3 out of 4 are figurative. Thank you so much G.B. for revealing the "truth" about this verse.
alyssa milano is saying that women have to go on a sex strike to take control of their bodies.
what do you think about this?.
Alyssa Milano tweeted, "Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy."
Reproductive rights being erased? No - just unborn foetuses. No one is stopping women from reproducing.
And don't women already have control over their bodies?
They can legally choose to use contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, and they can legally choose to avoid sex. Both scenarios assign them control over their bodies.
Alyssa Milano says nothing about responsibility and accountability for the unborn child.
i do bible study and attend meetings.
”well i was away and i was going to attend in that city”.
i did everything right, i told my bible study conductors in advance and genuinely i wanted to see another hall.
BS1 - ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND MORE!
The deeper you get into any toxic situation, the more traumatic it will be to escape from it.
Get out ASAP and save yourself a whole lot of grief. Just tell your conductors that you're temporarily stopping the study because you have private & personal issues which you have to deal with, and that you'll call them when you've resolved them. If they try to interrogate you, just say, "As I said, the issues are private & personal, but I will contact you when I'm ready."
Then do research and ask questions - here and elsewhere.
to all the moms around the world.

rutube 😉 dang holy spirit foiled again .
LOL! In video 1 of 5 on Sunday, the congregation Secretary's apartment door is battered down by those pesky security forces who are wearing balaclavas and carrying sub-machine guns!
Does any other religion try to scare the living daylights out of their adherents & kids the way this cult does?
At least with Catholics, hell-fire and damnation comes after you die. JW's terror is coming sooooooon!

Excellent, thanks!
The WTBTS rushes to prosecute anyone who publishes JW content on the internet, and yet here we have all of their Regional Conventional video-crapola plastered on a web site which is controlled by the Russian government - a government which outlawed the cult and it's propaganda.
I am delighted by the double irony here.
on may 6th, 2019 watch tower attorney paul polidoro faced off against anonymous reddit user darkspilver, represented by eff, the electronic frontier foundation.. link to youtube video with audio from may 6th hearing:.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wzopjmzfco&feature=youtu.be.
polidoro, noted for his appearance in the supreme court case of watchtower versus stratton ohio, now represents watch tower of pennsylvania in their efforts to flush out the inside leak sources of documents, videos and images.. these documents and other sensitive information have been leaked to the public and reposted by dozens of individuals since 2017. watch tower is deeply concerned about the internal moles leaking this information, since much of it has been used by whistleblowers to reveal watch tower's private internal policies and procedures.. included in the leaks are publisher id and records management materials which reveal the extent of jehovah's witness data collection and management prodedures, including the destruction of documents.. jehovah's witnesses have come under intense scrutiny for their failure to report child abuse across the globe, not only in mandatory reporting states, but in every location where clergy members are not required to report.. the dangerous policies of the jehovah's witness organization have resulted in a significant movement among current and former members to expose the organization and force transparency.. current members with high-level access to watch tower documents have risked expulsion and legal recourse for their efforts.. the electronic frontier foundation's attorney alex moss represented the unidentified darkspilver redditor in defense of the motion to quash watch tower's subpoena to unmask his identity.. listen closely as both sides make their case, and the judge seeks to understand the issues involved.. freedom of speech versus alleged copyright infringement- you be the judge.
I agree with those on REDDIT who reason that Darkspilver may be a Bethelite in the UK.
If Polidoro and the WTBTS think the same, then it would explain why the cult is doing whatever it takes & costs to nail him - despite submitting (IMO) an illegitimate defence for "copyright infringement.".
They judge pointed out that there was no copyright infringement of a confidential letter - because it hadn't been copyrighted!
The org is trying to terrorise anyone/everyone into not publicising on the internet any segments of WT material which shames them.
for helping with relief work.
maybe am the iii was sending the scotch to hurricane ravaged lands to help comfort them?.
https://tv.jw.borg/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-pk_34_video.
I truly, truly, truly hope that the org keep going down this road, because so many JW kids are going to despise the cult even more so than the previous generation, and abandon it ASAP.
Most youngsters do not like the majority of requirements they have to obey - but taking their cash???
The org has seriously crossed the line!

"The European Parliament has also said the decision to re-run the election on 23 June would end the credibility of democratic elections in Turkey."
I haven't heard the E.U. say that UK democratic elections would lose credibility if the referendum was re-run.
snippets of two talks by co at ca and during his visit to a congregation in ohio.
fear mongering at it's best.
has anyone else heard their co say the same nonsense?.
"It does not belong to you to know the times and seasons the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction." (Acts 1:7) (it belongs to the Macallan swigging charlatans at Warwick!)
