those who say they are christians or follow christianity needs .
1. father .
2. jesus .
Is this more of an American thing ? Here in the UK l would say that it's mostly the JWs and Mormons who choose to keep separate . That is to do with control over members. Both religions that started in the US .
If they come to my door l will engage with them and explain why l believe what l do . I do tend to point out the false prophecies to try to get them to think about that .
I won't mention the Trinity if they don't.

my only prowess in making predictions stems from my 77-years of life in the united statesgrowing up under president truman, eisenhower, kennedy, nixon, .....etc.
etc.i was a widdle kid sitting in front of a tiny black and white tv set when the very first broadcastsof political conventions, deal-making, debates (nixon vs kennedy), assassinations (jfk, rfk, martin luther king, etc.
) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).
RIP America .
So does anyone want to predict how long Trump will last before Vance finds a way to take over ?
I have a feeling that he is the power behind the throne and Trump has been his puppet.
Either way a sad day for the world .

the seniors in our family were scammed by watchtower, for over 7 figures.
an interesting read today to give some insight.. one of the most egregious con-artists is watchtower bible and tract society the “legal” entity for jehovah’s witnesses.
many retired jehovah’s witnesses have been targeted over the years to “loan” money for various “special projects” to further the “preaching work”, only to find they are never to be repaid.
Beth 👍.

Beth many religions use money donated for work in the community or actual upkeep of buildings . The Church of England building that attend is a 160yr old stone building which is quite expensive to keep going .
However many people who never contribute want the Church building available for Baptisms , Weddings and Funerals when it suits them .
Also we run a Place of Welcome group for ANYONE who wants to come and have refreshments and company.
Plus an Mom's ( Dad's, Grans, Grandads) and under 5 group . Also a Knit and Natter Group for anyone to attend
They do not have to be Church members, these groups are for the benefit of the community.
In addition we support overseas charities like Aytuliah which helps women in India to get out of the sex trade and learn skills to get legitimate work .
Please do not view all religions through the prism of the WT .

DoC most religions are nothing like the WT .
SlimboyFat you're right, but when people believe that they are loaning money and get ripped off that is very different to knowingly spending Johnny's inheritance.

i was looking up how to do something and found this awesome piece of writing.
it's really good information... and it made me chuckle too.
the picture over "understand the beliefs" is priceless to me.
When JWs knocked on my daughter's door my teenage granddaughter told them that the family were Satanists.
They couldn't get away quick enough and never went back .

can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
May l , as a never a JW , put my two penny worth in .
I have certainly learnt an awful lot about a lot of things since joining this group
Certainly about the WT but also about people in general
It's been a real eye opener so thank you to all of you .

Welcome to the forum

not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
NotFormer thank you for completing my ignorance. As you say no mainstream church goer is aware of these channels and l totally agree that ignorance is bliss
