  $31.89 reflects the 3,088% increase in costs from 1913 to 2024.

  It only feels that high because of Bidenflation.

  Scam Marketing !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are constantly being attacked by scam marketers who create a perceived need , not a real one, and hence create within us a want.

  if we fill our desire for that thing or things by buying in to it, we then end up with totally unnecessary expense.

  we have been scammed.. whether that be something to do with the latest fashions and trends, the latest 'phone, car or something similar.. the longest running, and most lucrative marketing scam in all human history has been religion.

  I think it developed organically, for many different reasons. And, over time, was corrupted for the benefit of those who could use it to take advantage of the people around them. Which, sadly, makes it like so many other human endeavors: business, finance, government, and so on. Created to meet a need, developed as societies grew, and abused by grifters.

  The survival instinct keeps doing its thing, even when it is detrimental to the group and, therefore, the individual.

  Lots of people will reflexively give when someone begs, so he will always see an increase when he does so. But there are diminishing returns, especially if done too often in a short time frame, and moreso when there is not enough content to justify the continued support. After a while, it will become apparent that he's asking them to fund his living expenses with nothing to show for it.

  He was on his way to 900-1,000 Patreon subscribers when he made his disastrous livestream. He has managed to get the number back up over 500 once with a begging stunt, and had another one or two increases when he reached out to his remaining supporters. How many subs would he have now, if he had more self-control? 2,000? 5,000? Subscriber totals tend to increase at a faster rate as the number grows, after all.

  But, no... he threw it away. Not because he is sexually repressed and cannot control his penis. The problem is that he cannot control his ego.

  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

  greenhornet: My mom making hamburger patties. "It's not blood it's juice"

  She was right, kinda. Myoglobin is a protein found in the muscles of animals. It's not a component of blood. Mixed with oxygen, it's the source of the "red" in red meat and is what makes the 'juice' red.

  (because they told us so in a wt!.

  w71 6/1 p. 330 par.

  10 - "another reason why many feel there is no place for them in the service of god is due to the clergy-laity distinction that is fostered in the churches.

  NotFormer: There's no precedent for MS, CO, DO, Pioneer, etc.

  It's more of a business-type structure than a religious one.

  the spanish exjw forum) is closing soon.

  (but that's a whole different topic).someone found an app called watchtower reader, i have the 2006 version in spanish, and it seems like it's a special edition of the wt library app that has much more than the regular wt library.. for example, it has:awakes up to 1960 (this is not even found in the english wt library).

  wt up to 1960 (found up to 1950 in the wt library in english but only up to 1970 in spanish).organized to accomplish your ministry (2005).anyone here know or could get this in the english version and the latest they can find?

  Jehovah’s Witnesses’ UN Prophecy Fails Again: Trump’s Win Proves Them Wrong

  the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses (gb) has done it again—another bold prophecy, another epic fail.

  during their 2024 annual meeting, they confidently announced that the nations of the world would soon hand over their power to the united nations.

  Beard quote from WT 1975

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  extreme hair styles can easily lead one into a trap of the devil also, and cause others to stumble.

  for example, a young man in the united states was making fine progress in his study of the bible, and he was moved to share with an experienced witness in preaching to others about the good things he was learning from the bible.

  from early youth he had let his beard grow, and since some in the business community wore beards, he felt that his wearing one in preaching to others would be acceptable generally.

  Germany plans to mobilize 800,000 NATO troops over fears of World War 3.
