17How Satan used the United States government in the 1950's to create 'new light'.
by was a new boy in'legal concerns seem to be a factor behind the watchtower society reversing its position and allowing vaccinations from the 1950's.'.
"the matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself... and our society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.
" watchtower 1952 dec 15 p.764.

Jesus as 'The mighty + almighty God'
by JW Answers injehovah's witnesses refuse to believe that jesus is the almighty god.
they would state that jesus is 'mighty', but not almighty.. below is a 30 minute video proving from the word of god that the lord jesus christ is both mighty and almighty, separate from the father but equal too.. the verses used from scripture show without a doubt that christ is mighty (isaiah 9:6) and almighty (rev 1:7-8)..

The first century jewish followers of Christ are eventually equating Jesus as the physical manifest of God in the old testament. (the fire in the sky in the red sea, the figure in the burning bush, the glory of god, the wisdom of god, the word of the lord etc ).
If an invisible omniscient god appears in a manifestation that is both separate and equal to being god, it is god ? It is all very chicken and egg, if a trees falls in the forest type of question.
I don't care what you believe but what has always struck me as silly about the WTS and how little they know about the basic bible narrative.

Yesterday I got a call from the my seven year old sons school. They told me he was quite sick and should take him home. Of course I am the contact because she makes no effort know where her phone is or if it is even charged.
When leaving the school with my sick child, my wife and the circuit overseer and her group drive right by and see us.
They don't stop, don't call. Maybe it is a medical emergency ? You would think you would like to know.
I end up taking the rest of the day off to take care of my son.
Not happy.
I hate this religion.

Fake panic attacks to get out of field service. Then fake depression to get out of meetings. Eventually they will figure it out and you can just Sail off into the sunset. -

The length of a public talk
by Farmer Jim1 indoes anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?
i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.
fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

How did you deal with long prayers ? Boy if it just started to become a show I would just walk out of a meeting.
If it was before a meal , I would just start eating.

There was a time I would have care about something like this. Then a watched a million Americans die of covid . Preachers and pastors lied to get bums in the seats and dollars in the collection plate. More people believe in the power of prayer than modern medicine.
if there is a god he doesn’t care who is buggering who and he doesn’t really give two shits about us.

Former Elders Please - Disbeliever recently married to a JW
by doasthouwilt ini recently married my best friend of 32 years.
she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.
we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.

I have become downright hostile towards the Elders. I find that is the best way to keep them away from me and not minding their own business.
I say stuff like when I see them.
" Hey, what is understanding of the faithful slave this week ?".
" Did a wizard have a vision ? "
" You guys preparing for the mockery of Christ ? ".
The only power they have is what you give them. Fuck em. Don't worry about them at all.

Does praying for “all those who are in positions of authority,” include the 'deep state' and all subsequent coverup's?
by was a new boy indefinition of deep state.
: an alleged secret network of especially nonelected government officials and sometimes private entities (as in the financial services and defense industries) operating extralegally to influence and enact government policy.
the power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions, and shared values.

God Has Only One Visible Organization on Earth!
by Vanderhoven7 inwhy is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?
why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?
what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?

The WTS changes the hinge point of the bible from the New Testament and the birth ,life and death, resurrection of Christ to 1914 and 1919. The bible then becomes secondary to the literature. It is kind of like all those shitty Star Wars movies when it would have been better to just quit at Return of the Jedi.
Any new twist on an old favourite usually involves making it into some kind of club.
