266Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Maybe the drop in Vaccine mandates has something to do with the 95% drop in covid hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths since 2021. Three years of repeated inflections/vaccinations that lead some to something called heard immunity.
Just a throwing that out there.
Please, go back to crazy town you gullible idiots.

Is Jesus God?
by Sea Breeze ini know that a lot of historical names have claimed to be a god.
but, jesus arguably claimed to be god.
scripture says he's the creator.

The Old Testament is littered with the phrase “the word of the lord appeared “ and the lord said. It is not entirely clear who or what is happening. This figure seems to be recognized as god yet separate from god.
The entire book of John is dedicated to this idea. In the beginning was the word, no one has seen giod, only the son.
Jehovah witness theology on the subject never really bothered me ( god created an angel who created the world and everything then gives it back to god. ) What bugs me is they no concept of how the New Testament is referring to the Old Testament and nothing is really clear outside of Jesus being the visible manifestation of god in the Old Testament.
It is not invented by false religion . It is just in the bible. It is completely understandable who Jesus is god in the flesh.

You have joined a club whose central message is Jesus died and for eight men only. Piss off with the spiritual nonsense. Your traded that away .

Christ is the Old Testament manifestation of the invisible omni present god. He is the creator that stepped into the creation and became the mediator back to himself. An advocate for sinful humanity.
Weird stuff. It is all chicken and egg , if a tree falls in the forest , dust in the wind kind of shit. All discussions about it usually result in circular nonsense.

Japan has an aging and declining population and has no immigration to replace it.

Are JWs forgetting Jesus altogether?
by KerryKing ina relative sent me yesterday's wt study article 46, how jehovah guarantees his promise of paradise.. it's been a long time since i read one of those articles but what really struck me about this one is that, considering it's discussing a fundamental jw belief, it only mentions jesus twice as an aside, and not at all as the central figure like the bible does.
it actually mentions satan far more in the same article!.
i don't remember this discrepancy from my time in the org 15 years ago.

The story of Christianity is of a god who himself becoming that intermediary figure that advocates on our behalf ( sinful humanity ). The human one who sit on the empty throne besides god. That is why Jesus is kind of the center of the religion. It is also the reason it kind of becomes ambiguous who god is and Christ is.
What JWs believes really doesn't fit the bible story or what the big picture of scripture really is all about.

Did Jesus have a pre-existence or was he fully human, begotten at his human birth.
by gavindlt inso when was jesus begotten.
was he truly and wholly fully human.
did he exist in two states, part human part god.

The new testament is the realization that Jesus was the visible manifestion of YWHW in old testament. The fire in the burning bush, the cloud rider in the book of Daniel, the fire in the sky in the book of Exodus, the angel of the LORD, the word of the LORD.
The ambiguous use of the tetragrammaton in the new testament is by design, not corruption.
This failure to understand this basic concept is what makes the WTS special in a stupid way.

I went to pick my wife up today and see about half the men are now growing beards.
I thought it was funny.
It made them look like a bunch of half wit cultist who live their lives at the whims of a body of wizards.
An elder ( without a beard ) talked to me and I told him I think the beards make them look sloppy. He changed the subject right away like he didn't even hear what I just said to him.

The WTS is now like the US army. i guess they were forced to lower the standards to met recruiting goals. Zoomers just don’t care.
How do you expect us to believe the end is so close if they don’t even believe it.
