  Both corners of their mouth

  i was just watching dinesh d'souza talking about a chinese newspaper, and he was saying that the chinese communists like to have a form of communication that isn't 'officially' from the government but can transmit what they want people to hear.

  instantly reminded me of the gb, how they have agendas and outlines for circuit overseers, schools, even supposedly spontaneous experiences at conventions that are used to push certain ideas.

  they do the effective job at the time, but most jws wouldn't be able to track it down in print later.

  Watchtower and China seem to communicate to their people the same. Same as their concepts of rule over people.

  It looks like the WATCHTOWER—STUDY EDITION (SIMPLIFIED)'s last issue was December 2018

  by Disillusioned JW in

  i looks like the last issue of the "watchtower—study edition (simplified)" (at least in english) was the december 2018 issue - see https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=ws&yearfilter= .

  did anyone else notice that?.

  Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

  so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

  and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

  Time Indefinite

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from a very young age, i was always annoyed by this translation time indefinite simply means: time that has not been defined.

  where the new world translation uses "time indefinite", other translations use "everlasting" and "eternal".

  honestly, it makes much more sense to me "everlasting" and "eternal" as "time indefinite" would leave room for god to define that time later on.

  Sounds like Bullshit to me! But as usual anything Watchtower puts out makes you roll your eyes and yell "bullshit " while others clap like well trained seals with out even using their brains.

  Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.

  thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.

  the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

  Where there any cases where members should not have been at the meeting but still managed to attend?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. experiences

  no matter if you are tired, sick, worked late, trudging through heavy snow, or any other reason, you were never to miss the meetings.

  missing meetings is frowned upon.. i once went to a 2 day assembly with 2 wisdom teeth pulled the day before.

  my gums were still bleeding.

  On a Sunday, I woke up sick with a fever. My uber ultra JW Dad wanted me to get dressed and go to the Sunday meeting. "You'll feel better after the meeting!" I was too weak to even to get my azz out of bed. He went with out me. I was so sick I called a worldly friend that lived next store. I told him what I was I was feeling and what Dad did. We loaded up and went to the ER. After fluids and antibiotics I was I little better. My friend and I came to the conclusion that my father cares nothing about me, but more for the JW's. Reason 14 why I'm no longer one.

  God vs ET`s ,why is one more probable than the other ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw

  billions of people around the world beleive in a god of some sort or other who exerts some power or influence to some degree or other in lifes affairs .. i don`t think there would be anywhere near that figure that would entertain the possability of extra terrestial life elsewhere in the universe.. and i find that curious .. the ancients didn`t know that their were other humans on other continents on this planet until they ventured out and found them .. we live somewhere in the milky way galaxy with millions of suns and planets that orbit them.. our galaxy is only one of trillions if not zillions of galaxys in the known universe.. look at the diversity of life on just this one planet earth ,what possabilitys could exist elsewhere ?

  on alien worastronomers can use the hubble space telescope to view galaxies near the edge of the observable universe (the region of space from which light has had a chance to reach us within the last 13.77 billion years).

  by examining a very tiny portion of the sky, counting up the number of visible galaxies in the universe in that specific region, and then multiplying that number to account for all the regions of the sky, astronomers estimate the number of galaxies in the universe.

  The Universe, ET, we as humans are learning every day something new. ET very possible. God, not not so much possibly.
