3 Changes The Watchtower Made on Babylon The Great in the Last 6 Months
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/vpws6ncqpla?si=dqnf7-hupfr4pdta.
for decades, jehovah’s witnesses have been banging on about babylon the great—the so-called world empire of false religion—being on the brink of collapse.
any day now, they assured us, churches would empty out, priests would be left twiddling their thumbs, and humanity would collectively bin organised religion.

It cracks me up when they go on about " organised religions " the JWs are one of the most organised religions l can think of . They may not have paid clergy but they organise every aspect of their member's lives .

What "message" does the J.W Org. have to offer that will attract new members ?
by Phizzy inthe message they have been pushing for 150 years or so is "the end is near !"..
in the educated, civilised world, people think " yea ?
maybe because of economic meltdown exacerbated by climate change, but not from some intervention by a non-existent god".. "would you like a free bible study ?

Phizzy please don't even joke about JWs shooting householders. I do wonder if they were told that it's Jehovah's will to do that would they comply ?
If it was pitched to them as a kindness , like totally ignoring disfellowshipped people, would they do it ?

How does being a ceramics engineer ( I'm not even sure what that is ) give you incite into how scientifically accurate the Bible is ?
I'm guessing that the lady who talked about churches preaching materialism is American.
Don't these special talks include at least something from the Bible ?

Mikejw l am a Christian so believe that God is responsible for the world coming into being but have no problem with evolution. It doesn't have to be one or the other .
Anonymous Mous l agree that certainly most JWs and possibly many atheists have no idea how , as you say " really " religions operate .
Cults like the JWs push people to drink or suicide , they split families and cause children to have miserable childhoods .

Strange, Interesting Day
by HereIam60 ini have worked for over 25 years now in a day habilitation program for persons with physical and mental diabilities.
in recent years this has often involved assisting them in doing community volunteer work, as in our state, persons receiving services are required to have a 'job' of some sort.
as a result, we have worked in catholic and salvation army food pantries, animal shelters, libraries, a nature center, a vietnam war veterans museum and delivered meals on wheels.

Jeffro you know perfectly well what I mean . All this " discussion " makes no difference at all to the fact that the Witnesses are a cult and Jesus died for our sins .
