i hate to say this, but given my own experience as a jw for almost 3 decades, i am beginning to believe the average jw will continue to look to and be guided by the gb regardless of whether they are right or wrong.. despite all the scandals and negative media attention the watchtower organisation is receiving, life seems to go on as normal in jw land.
it's truly bizarre!!.
clearly, the gbs tactic of mostly hiding away from the media is clearly working for them.
Wait...you mean it is a cult? Gasp...
We have the GB saying that the dubs should follow their advice "even if it seems unreasonable from a human standpoint" and then later they say that they are not inspired, are not infallible and every doctrine and policy can be wrong...
And yet everyone still listens, obeys and be blessed, at the cost of what was it? 30,000 lives lost from 1961 to 2016 because of the DF on taking blood...
jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.
The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name
WTF???? What on earth is going on SBF?
robert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .
however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".
does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.
It is that Jehovah is in charge of the work and in complete control.
But the GB just said recently that they are not infallable and that they are not inspired so how is the big J in charge then?
this guy has to have the most courage of anyone i've ever seen or balls the size of basketballs.he actually gives a good talk and has tidbits scattered about throughout his public talk with hints,suggestions,innuendos of the wt organization.i never want to go in another kingdom hall again in my life but would have made an exception just to be in this audience.
lolnotice what's going on in the audience when they realize somethings up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqqt0y1peuu.
How did he get into the position where he was giving a talk???
will they draw a new name out of a hat or do a kiss test i don't know..
Go through the list of "helpers"....they are your next members...as all the current members were helpers prior.
i have posted the full story on a fb site.
so my apologies to anyone who's already read it.
some of what i've written is what was told to me by my father.
I read every bit of it...utterly absorbing...many thanks for writing that...
I'm a Leeds fans...safe to say our teams have both been through the wringer! Looks like we are both on our way back up though!
Hope you still go to matches!
making little or no difference to our daily lives, comes the claim that most of our human genome is not functional.. dan graur an (evolutionary) biologist at the university of houston and other academics made the claim in a paper published in an online journal, genome biology and evolution.. the group's calculations suggest that not more than 25% of the human genome is functional - the rest is seen as 'junk' dna,.

Atheism is the driving force behind the standard godless evolution narrative, not facts.
Just go away...cos that is utter crap.
42years have passed since the great 1975 expectation delivered nothing.
blame for the expectations laid at feet of the faithful, 'it's your fault , you believed us so you are responsible for the let down'.
i have asked this previously and repeat the point, where were the current members of the governing body, 43 years ago.
I thought they were all of the "other sheep" when that WT article came out about "helpers" in 1992...and most of the current GB were helpers when that WT came out...and it said all helpers are of the "other sheep" hence why the current lot cannot be the second generation in the overlapping malarky because none of them were anointed in 1992 because they were all helpers then and the WT said the helpers were of the other sheep.
so in england they report a "white clean-shaven man" mowed down worshippers at a mosque.
why do they never make such detailed descriptions when muslims do the same?.
i hope this event isn't a bad turning point.
Surprised this has not happened soon tbh...nutters everywhere.
it's nearly a job for life if you don't literally fu.. up..
Yes...I reported his sons for drinking and debauchery to him and he said he would sort it out...nothing happened...I spoke to other elders...they were not aware of it...he covered it up...removed.
