even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

Great teacher it’s a shame you say that but this is your choice, if there is a Creator and the Bible is his word then it says he has given us all a choice.

You do know it is a wager that you are taking by choosing not to take Pascal’s wager? You are taking a wager whatever choice you make even if apathetic.

I choose to take Pascal’s wager and live JWLITE life staying physically in but making damn sure there are zero disadvantages to my wager.

You have to ask yourself are there disadvantages to the wager you are choosing?

Muslims are dying ten to one for every Jew in this way.

It’s playing out exactly like the JWs say, they say king of the North Russia and it’s allies mainly China and Muslim nations are are the ones who turned on Gods people and the work is banned.

USA and UK are king of the South and they definitely sided with the Jews.

What comes next according to JW is the government’s make religion illegal

and JWs are the o kh ones who will not stop

I don’t know how that is supposed to work

Israel vs Hamas

by Riley in

we might have russians involved in the middle east and are attacking israel.. wait.. i thought the watchtower and tract society was the central figures in the end times.

.

not that i believe in any of this nonsense but any news in jw world about how the evangelical narrative might be playing out closer than the wts stupidity.

Apostacy!!!

i intend to show with this article that the man of lawlessness is the anti-christ and that the activity of this composite person is what constitutes the abomination of desolation.

this shows the anti-christ and the man of lawlessness to be one and the same composite person.

we have seen that the anti-christ exalts himself {not appointed by god} then we learned that the man of lawlessness takes his seat in the temple of god.

Not sure where to post this, we went to a JW wedding and there were lots of disfellowshipped family members

the elders said as long as they respect the arrangement and don’t try to talk to people!

that is ridiculous as they don’t agree with the arrangement and of course they will talk to people

they try to normalise this absurd behaviour but who are the GB to say family members can’t talk to each other at weddings or funerals

the situation has gotten very serious I wish rank and file would start ignoring the GB on the real stupid direction

Selena Vertolomo "The Mower" and her sister Sherrie call into The Six Screens TIME STAMP 2:53

by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER in

selena vertolomo, former jehovah's witnesses who was sexually abused in watchtower, went to visit tony morris in north carolina.

selena and her sister call in and explain their position.

callers dial in from around the world and ask plenty of questions.

Teddnzo

“It was personally covered by Tony Morris. That’s why I drove to confront him about it.”

What does she mean now? She and her sister did accuse him of being involved in CSA is she now changing her story?

By the sound of it and this is just a guess, she and her sister and possibly others were abused by her father and possibly others in a pedo ring. She says the GB knew about it maybe they tried to cover it up as that have done in the past. But it doesn’t sound like she is actually accusing Tony of CSA involvement himself

stan livedeath4 hours ago

But i would consider jwlite--if it meant by attending occasionally my son and daughter might speak to me. But realistically its far too late for that

-

ITS NOT TOO LATE STAN.

It would be better for now if disfwllowshipped one’s being shunned by family got reinstated and joined the JWLITE brigade.

Then you could slowly show your family members that the GB are wrong and do it in a very subtle way

Pascal’s wager is interesting because it makes it obvious that whatever your belief system is you are taking a wager or a bet.

Even being apathetic is a wager and you may lose.

Being atheist is a bet that the universe origin was chance. This may be wrong and then you are missing out.

Believing intelligent design was involved is also a wager or a bet

Is there an way where you can bet on all opinions and not have any disadvantages?

Yes I believe there is. JWLITE but make sure you don’t have any disadvantages to being physically in

Stan you are right there have always been some hanging on come to meetings occasionally.

This is very different though, this JWLITE thing is for everyone as you don’t need to go door to door anymore. Everything is easier than the 1960s.

Pascal’s wager idea applied to JWLITE is to live as if there is a God and JWs are one of the ideas closest to the truth from his word the Bible then you have nothing to lose by carrying on being physically in but mentally agnostic.

The AGM said you can get through last minute if you want if and when you see all the things happening that the GB say will happen, like governments turn in religion and cry of peace and security. They say only JWs will be the only religious group to break the law once the laws are passed that religious practices are illegal.

I’m almost 100% sure the GB are wrong but what is the harm in waiting to see

Hebrews 11 :1faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

On a scale 1-100 my faith or confidence in what we hope for was up near 100. Now my faith in the Bibles promises the way I used to think I understood them is way down nearer zero. But I still have hope that the Bibles promises may have some merit to them even if we don’t understand them correctly.

This is not living a lie. It doesn’t need to take a physical and mental toll on you if you come to the realisation that we don’t understand as much as we thought we once did.

I think if you are fully PIMI your faith in what the GB say is 100 and then you realise they were wrong about 1914 and then everything else falls apart then yes this would take a mental toll and you may even have a breakdown or kill yourself. This is almost certainly coming to many of the almost 9 million publishers around the world.

But I wonder how many are like me and have realised already that the Bible may be like a jigsaw puzzle. All the pieces scattered and some bunches are being out together and then those bunches seem like they have something to do with each other but then later you realise that was wrong. Actually it was all wrong but you keep trying
