I haven't read through all the original posts and this was probably mentioned.
The correct , Biblical question is to WHOM would we go ?
The WT changed it to stress their position of being Jehovah's only mouthpiece on earth.

99If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?
by Disillusioned JW insometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?
' i say 'why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism and why not a secular philosophy which teaches a way of life?
' what do you folks say?.

Rattigan , I'm not sure how JWs preach Jesus . I rarely hear Witnesses mention Him . It's Jehovah this and Jehovah that .
Punk I'm sure that you know that the Orgs version of the Trinity is nothing like Christendom's Trinity.
We don't believe that Jesus was Michael so a huge difference. If a Witness could actually explain where that comes from l would be interested to find out .

The word Jehovah does not appear in the New Testament .
The WT inserted it to support their teaching .
The Churches of Christendom preach the Trinity so equating Jesus with Jehovah.

Hi Noni , my Condolences on the loss of your Mom .
I'm British and , l suppose , a Royalist. I too feel very sad about the Queen's death . She was a constant in all our lives, the one person always " there " . I'm 66 and my own Mum died a few years ago .
Maybe seeing and hearing how loved Her Maj was by her children makes you sad that you didn't have that with your Mom .
It's probably had that effect on anyone whose relationship with a parent wasn't as they would have liked . You aren't on your own in that respect.

Punky l am delighted to agree to disagree in a non disagreeable manner with your disagreement. Sounds very grown up and reasonable and does appear to be agreeable to you .
Actually Tamuff is ok . You very rarely hear of any incidents especially not stabbings. There are enough Tamworth social media sites to ensure that stuff gets round .
The big hoo ha of late has been some travellers around the area.
You are still very welcome to attend our 5pm sung Evensong service . If you came then l think that you would agree that it's most agreeable
Agreeably yours Jan

My Granddaughter once told JWs at her door that the family were devil worshippers. Funnily enough they never had another call .

I have to disagree Punky . Looking at the State of America right now Blighty is wonderful.
Compared to many countries we are Paradise. We have roofs over our heads , food every day , education and healthcare. Millions can only dream of that .
Yes we have our problems , every country does but l don't think that ours are as bad as many .

Smoking gun GB can’t get out of this one
by Mikejw inhere in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .

NO ONE EVER SAID that the vaccine would prevent covid or stop it's spread. It reduced the effects. Less deaths , fewer hospitalisations . Hospitals were crammed with patients on ventilators thus beds for other patients weren't available.
Yes people are still catching it but the effects have been no where near as bad and far fewer deaths and hospitalisations are occurring
I refer again to America and the much higher rates of death among the GOP states where the uptake on vaccination was much lower.
Here in Blighty death rates ( from covid) have consistently dropped as more and more people have been vaccinated.
Interestingly l have heard of a few people feeling unwell for a time after being jabbed but no one dying.

Bettyhumpter thank you . Vaccines haven't wiped out polio., smallpox , child deaths from measles have they ? Polio was an awful plague on society ( literally) . Only the use of vaccines eradicated it .
What short memories people have . Measles was a killer at one time . Now it's a week off school and some spots . Because of the child vaccination programmes .
All the people on here be grateful if your parents had the sense to have you vaccinated against these one time killers.
A few years ago some parents refused to get children vaccinated and that resulted in children being hospitalised for what should have been minor illnesses. This was because of the rumour mill Fb , Twitter etc . Doctors had to campaign again to stop this.

Replacing God?
by punkofnice inwe seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.

I think that it's very possible.
