  TODAY is my 56th anniversary of GOING TO PRISON as a Jehovah's Witness Conscientious Objector

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  what happened to jehovah’s witness young men and why did it happen?______in the 1960s men of draft age were called upon to either serve in the military (during the vietnam war) or to comply with the alternate service option: serving in a hospital or community in need.. non-jehovah’s witnesses were faced with only one refusal: military service.jw boys and young men were instructed (in private) to refuse the alternate civilian service as well.

  the superior authorities had made this exemption for people of conscience.the law was clear on this.

  if we worked in a hospital community we would be free to go about our witnessing ministry - if we double-refused: we would languish in prison.a no-brainer to them.

  In a conversation with Randy Watters, he admitted to me that the literature was destroyed.

  Soros owns like 10% of Vice.

  
  

  However, taz, is a cooperative-owned German daily newspaper administered by its employees and a co-operative of shareholders who invest in a free independent press.

  
  

  Gonna try the Jehovah's Witness technique that was used in Russia, I guess.
  

  
  

  translated:

  
  

  'Regarding the investigation, Fuellmich's lawyer Dagmar Schön told the German Press Agency: "It's all a lie" and "We will prove it."

  
  

  'Attorney Schön still thinks that her mandate will receive broad solidarity. She calls on people to send masses of letters to the prison. She told T-Online: "My dream is that after two weeks the collapse comes to the post office and they say, please fire this man."

  
  

  Time will tell.

  Psalms 118:8

  8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

  Not sure which will be best, her book or the movie.

  Their business model said they needed the abuser no matter what!

  A bit ironic for all the abuse she suffered in Brooklyn, that she has a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge in her

  living room.

  Until recently the Unification Church in Japan wasn't a cult either.

  'Japan's government has asked a court to revoke the legal status of the Japan branch of the Unification Church, the controversial group founded in South Korea by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.'

  bribing the children to serve--by request!

  request from researcher: is it true that children in the early years of the watchtower society, were bribed into the field ministry work to make a profit to have money to spend?

  if this is true, would you know where i could find that information?

  So Brother Sharp's mum bribed him. 🤔

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/life-stories-jehovahs-witnesses/dayrell-sharp/

  (If Dayrell's mum also bribed him to sell literature, I'm sure it was omitted)
  
  I was never bribed, no need to. With the mid week study of the 'Babylon The Great' book (the first time) and with the revelation type hailstones coming at any moment, the hard proclamation of Jehovah's day of vengeance at hand; that is hearing guilt trip speeches week after week on sell, preach, and sell some more, fresh in my mind. That's all that was needed for me to sell the literature before any manifestations of the wrath of God showed up and not bellyache about it.

  But, I always had to turn in the money to Mum. I did get rewarded a couple times though if I sold a good number of magazines on a Saturday. Afterwards we'd go to the Farmer's market and I'd get to buy a car model.

  Well, the questions will have to wait for another month. My engineer friend was not there. He doesn't miss many of these dinners, but wouldn't you know he'd miss this one.
  I'll see him next month...I hope.

  maybe 'my engineer friend' didn't want an early death?

  '... In the case of 9/11 theories, first of all, labeling them conspiracy theories is an ad hominem attack. It is labeling and name calling. Second, there are a lot of unanswered questions...
  In fact, the Empire State building DID endure a plane collision. I believe it was a B-52 if I'm not mistaken. The building is still there.'

  The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
  

  On July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber of the United States Army Air Forces crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building in New York City while flying in thick fog.
  

  
  

  At 9:40 a.m., the aircraft crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building, between the 78th and 80th floors

  'As the bloody events in Israel and Gaza unfold, host Andy Steele is joined by Jeremy Kuzmarov,

  
  In this episode the two discuss what is being called “Israel’s 9/11” and compare coverage of it to the coverage of 9/11 itself during its aftermath, and the similarities between the two as an agenda-driven media attempts to mold the public’s collective mind in favor of longtime U.S. government ambitions in the Middle East.'

  This Generation/ 1975

  by TxNVSue2023 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was born in 1977 & came in as a convert in 2003 --- so i have no idea what went on before my time.. however i have been familiar with the scriptures of "nobody knows the day or hour" & " it will come as a theif in the night" meaning that it was sure but unpredictable time.

  how could anyone belive that anyone else ( organization or not) put a date on it?.

  also what was the significance of 1975 anyway?
