  Another suspect JW experience

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest jwdotorg experience tells of using video conferencing to hold congregation meetings inside jail for prisoners.

  it says that the prison director himself and his wife have also started attending the zoom meetings and quotes him as saying.

  “these meetings are of great importance for the spiritual and emotional well-being of the prisoners during this period of social isolation.

  The fact is a lot of prisoners find religion. Anything that occupies time contributes to peace

  Would You Be Comfortable Wearing Political Attire or Putting Political Bumper Stickers?

  some people get triggered if they see something they don’t like.

  you can’t even talk about your preferences with some people because they get very upset.

  would you freely talk about politics or show who you support?

  I do. I have my nra hat, sticker, thermos. I am thinking of getting a Confederate battle flag and a gadsen flag, not because i believe it all, but just to assert rights. And a white sheet.

  Trump said it would be great if there was something as simple as disinfectant. How about an injected vaccine?

  Trump may well being trying to not create panic but the dems have all us under our beds waiting to die

  brother gave a zoom talk this morning about the conquest of “the promised land” and how in many cases, ‘everything that breathed” was destroyed.

  how loving!

  but the real question here is:.

  They claim relays. My take is the numbers reported are greatly exaggerated if the event even happened

  Hillary is telling all Americans to NOT CONCEDE IF TRUMP WINS----FIGHT! What will you do if you are put in a corner.

  2. current

  hillary clinton is telling all democratic supporters to be ready to fight if trump wins.

  other democratic leaders are telling the masses to destroy everything in their cities and cripple the economy if trump is elected president.

  other democratic leaders are appealing to the military who support the democratic agenda to step in and stop any arm citizens on the side of trump if he is elected, and remove the president by force if he wins the election.. hillary clinton is making it clear to the democratic supporters, that joe biden will become president -after president trump becomes elected.. looks like a dictator coup d'état,to overthrow the usa government by non-democratic means is now in the making.

  If trump wins you can bet there will be extreme rioting. And the conservatives(not KKK, arian) will take notice.

  Hilliary mentioned pressuring people at the polls and hinted at putting in biased judges

  How Often is 1914 Openly Spoken of at the Meetings?

  by Number 6 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as someone who left in 1991 aged 21, one of my overriding memories of growing up in the watchtower was being able to "prove" the end times by referencing 1914.. major change in 95 then again after that.

  if i'm being honest i could not even tell you now what the current teaching is.. for those who still attend the meetings, is it still openly spoken about?

  i genuinely curious as i wonder if the teaching will be altogher dropped eventually, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is to stop speaking about it.

  New JW article - Help children deal with disturbing news reports

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has the audacity to think it is some authority on the matter of telling parents how to deal with news reports that may disturb them, when for decades it has been promoting a horrific destruction of 99% of people currently living on earth, including detailed pictures in their own 'news reports'.. why would people print disturbing news reports?

  one reason that they provide specifically relates to themselves as well.

  children may have trouble putting the news in perspective.

  Took a long look and meditated on the slave business. Poor time to be a slave. Could be beat as long as the slave didnt die until a day or two later. That is from a god that respects life and kindness. For a hygienic superiority culture that piercing the ear sounds like an infection place. I wonder if they put in a gage?

  Being a woman must have been a special treat with the rape laws and all.

  Bobcat:

  The fictional parts are put into every drama. Tge sad part is the rank and file then wonder how they missed that when reading the bible.

  Since things are written so far in advance there must be plans laid to sell more

  Today's WT Study: "Return to Jehovah" - Lots of Elephants in the Room

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..

  Justaguy... charity work, real charity

  The convention just said those who feel a lack of love are not doing their part. No mention of cliques, overbearing strong arm people.

  The biggest reason has to be the unfulfilled expectations and the anti education stance
