  The WT uses phi LIST ine. The world says PHIL is tine. I remember they had a pronunciation guide devised by a clergyman which is OK in as much as as we dont speak hebrew. But it goes too far. I have heard the rules applied to spanish, Italian, german. Makes ignorant people more so.

  As for clergy, apparently (n) before 1914 the sources are correct to use. Then in 1914 god said: "what a mess, nobody is fit" ( examining american evengelicals only) and threw a dart to choose.

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  Truth. Good video. It also points out muslim as being a danger to everyone.

  Bobcat. I have windered about the background music. Of course hypnotism is demonic🙂

  Mark. Very much like asking a KKK whether he is racist. The GB definitely fits the definition

  We can see the same thinking in climate change, woke, BLM and Kkk, green, both major US political parties.

  from an interview with ebony magazine:.

  in 1987, he left the jehovah's witnesses.

  there was strong opposition to his "thriller" video on the part of some witnesses.

  Not required but encouraged. Do not answer the phone. You may miss news of an emergency or death but what the hell.

  The WT is not the largest distributor of bibles, nor the most prolific translator.

  An upcoming Watchtower article saying if people Pioneer Jehovah will provide!

  by LongHairGal in

  i saw the post on reddit and the thread got many responses..can anybody believe the religion is still saying this??

  it has to be as plain as day that so many jws are poor and struggling today because they never got a career or decent job years ago.. sadly, there are still witnesses who believe money will fall from heaven if they are in the full-time ministry.

  they expect some miracle to occur..but, we all know the truth: people in the congregation will be hit up for yet more money for another bunch of irresponsible people pursuing poverty.

  Yep. The world is passing. And we ain't on it. Just like the kid looking through the window at the candy store.

  Getting sick after assemblies:

  Unknown air quality, the assembly hall has ventilation that blows right down your neck

  People will not miss no matter how sick

  Stress from travel, even if just across town, poor food (copied from the old served stuff), cramped seats ( the assembly hall has way better seats than the KH)

  Lack of exercise
