  The King of the North has now entered into the 'land of decoration' (the Spiritual Estate of Jehovah's People) - Annual Meeting

  by Listener in

  the final part of the october, 2018 annual meeting has now been released of jw org tv.the following includes a transcript of mark sanderson's speech for those that don't want to listen to the broadcast.. we have long held that the land of decoration is the "spiritual estate of jehovah's people"... now brothers what can we say about all these events that have taken place (referring to recent events in russia) in such a short period of time?

  well, truly, if you're a student of the history of god's organization, you can say these events are unprecedented in our history.

  we've never seen a country or a territory with 175,000 witnesses of jehovah go under ban.

  1. "We must follow direction from Jehovah's organization ... Why? Because Jehovah will provide us with the direction that we need, so that we can maintain our spirituality. And Brothers it is vital that we adhere to that direction closely in order to preserve our spirituality and the spirituality of others who may worship with us."

  Translated:
  1. We are going to be asking you for MORE money, make sure you give it to us!

  2. We are going to be selling your KH and move you into an already crowded hall, don't complain!

  3. We are going to tell you to be more frightened of other people, you better do it.

  Just peeking in for a bit...

  i rather apprehensively would like to say hello.. i've been raised somewhat in the truth,one of my parents is rather rather strong in the beliefs but could honestly be considered pomi with how active they are and their side of the family comes from a line of witnesses, the other parent was but faded a long time ago.

  as such i was taught quite a bit of jw teachings between family and off and on again bible studies.

  recently i had a serious emotional break down over a few months after said pomi parent had advised me that they would not attend my wedding should that day come (i also had recieved a text from my bible teacher i hadnt heard from in a year or two giving a scripture) and it sorta all sank on me that my activity over the last few years was not really jw material.

  Jidders remember these 2 things ALWAYS!

  1. Truth should WELCOME scrutiny. It should never be afraid of sincere questions.

  2. Extraordinary claims require Extraordinary evidence.

  If someone is ever not willing to work under those 2 axioms, something is very very wrong!!! RUN!

  Are the younger generation taking on roles in the Cong?

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  i notice that several of the congs i've been to seem to have a majority of the male roles performed by older men.

  very few young men are wanting to be ms or elders etc.

  it also seems like very few young people are being pioneers either.. would you agree with this?

  Depends completely on the congregation.

  Plenty of young guys who want to "reach out" in some congregations, and few in others.

  I am a proud Jehovah's Witness Defender

  by Matthew Jefferson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my name is matthew j and i have just ended my study with the jehovah's witnesses.

  no, i did not stop studying because i believe the jehovah's witnesses are a 'cult', i left due to the minor beliefs that i hold that remain separate from the organization.

  i called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that i do not wish to continue my studying.

  You are funny man.

  You defend them but don't believe them enough to join them.

  Dude - they only shun people who had been JWs and left, not a BS (bible study) like you.

  Get this through your skull.

  You are EASY field service hours to them.

  You are and EASY RV to them.

  You make their day in service easier because if you are home you will answer.

  You are no more than that now.

  do you believe in a higher power?.

  No not any more. There is 0 evidence. All anyone can point to is just feelings, or not knowing how anything could have started.

  But if there is a higher power, he is a sadistic a-hole.

  JWLEAKS.ORG is back for 2019 with a Scandal

  by jwleaks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep, we are back after taking some extended time off.. the jwleaks.org website had been archived for some time.

  i was concentrating on other jw-related projects in relation to say sorry.. but the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, who no longer claim to be infallible, decided that in their fallibility the best use of 'dedicated funds' would be to launch civil action against me in a us federal court.

  to this end watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc., sent their attorneys after me.

  Jesus confuses his apostles about baptism

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  jesus's apostles were confused by some of his sayings.

  they didn't understand the true sense of what jesus was trying to tell them about baptism.

  "no one'', he said, ''would get the true meaning of this scripture until a modern day "organization" in the 21st century rises up and reveals the truth.".

  Everything about the bible is confusing.

  It is like reading Tea Leaves, i will say whatever you want it to say.

  Thus the THOUSANDS of christian denominations and the many major divisions and contradictory beliefs with in them.
