are all of the governing .body .members american citizens ?
shouldn`t they at least represent a greater proportion of nations in light of jesus being a saviour of all the world ?.
god loved the world of mankind right ?
I personally knew a JW sister years ago who went to prison because she obeyed the Bible/org's rule that a JW could not swear on a Bible in court if summoned to be a jury member.
Her conscience wouldn't allow her to pay a fine as an alternative to prison, but a wealthy JW family got her released after paying the fine for her.
Mr. Whacko-Jacko of the WitchTower Babble & Trapped Society must have missed what Jesus said about not swearing.
..........make a phone call.đź“ž.
yes, that’s what the multi billion dollar corporation, watchtower, claimed they did in the 2019 convention.. devastating mudslides in rural myanmar left thousands of people cut off from food, water and medicine, many of them witnesses.. watchtowers solution?
fly in a helicopter of medics and engineers?
"By a telephone call, all will know that you are my brothers." (John 42:14 - RNWT)
if we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?
or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.
The "official" attitude is, if you're not witnessing for Jehovah, you're not one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
However, the org no doubt delights when JW's decide for themselves to shun any irregular/inactive ones.
Shunning is now viewed as both a conscience matter and as a mandatory one by many JW's.
i was just wondering if there is any official rules on dealing with this.
a sister in the congregation is planning to divorce her husband who is also a witness so she can marry a different brother in the same hall!
yes this is a huge scandal!
I heard this saying when I was in "the truth":
Whatever goes on in "the world," goes on in the organization.
So true.

Thanks Petra & Atlantis.
I'm really thankful that the "slave's" property empire is so clearly supported by God Almighty:
"What has been accomplished to date is truly remarkable, giving evidence of Jehovah's blessing."
God has been busy watching over a building site??? Thank God for that!
do you think these would be a hit?
or would i get into trouble?.
Peter was referring to Christ when he said, “Whom shall we go away to?”
The WTBTS pervert this to mean "the “faithful and discreet slave” organization."
No difference, eh?
And JW's swallow it - hook, line, & sinker!
i wrote a letter some time ago and to my surprise and despite the elders manual saying that a letter is sufficient for establishing 'wrongdoing' they would not announce me as no longer a jw until i met with 2 elders to verbally acknowledge that the letter was written by me.. .
well yesterday i met with them and the meeting lasted 2 minutes.
"did you write the letter?
Well done Jared.
Do what Mr.Tate said.
translation:"inside the "destructive sect".
antĂłnio madaleno was a religious leader in jehovah's witnesses.
on the eve of a demonstration of strength of the organization, which in the next three days promises to fill the estádio da luz in an international congress, this former leader characterizes it as "a group of high control" and tells us his personal drama to get rid of it.".
Good!!
The silence of the lambs can turn into a roar.
i took a break from posting, but i'm back, and i wanted to share a story.
i grew up in a fundamentalist baptist church, i was never "one of jehovah's witnesses.
" what i know about jehovah's witnesses i learned from books, from attending services as a researcher, and from ex-witnesses like the posters of this site.
JW salvation depends on the compulsory recruitment programme.
You seem to be back in their cross-hairs. They'll forget all about you if you start asking about the org's "inconvenient truths." Or simply tell them to sod off and leave you alone!
Knowledge frightens them far more, though.
over the past few days i have twice visited screwfix - a uk nationwide company which sells tools & fixings.. on my first visit, i informed the store assistant of the item i required.
she immediately said, "post-code?".
i informed her that it was a cash sale and there was no need to give information.
GORBY, good idea -
Postcode? SW1 2AA
House Number? 10
