"Antimatter."
"Highly scientific means."
Haha.
Can't wait!
in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..
"Antimatter."
"Highly scientific means."
Haha.
Can't wait!
watchtower january 2017 - par.
15 - "we live in exciting times.
the earthly part of jehovah’s organization is growing in many ways, but growth necessitates change.".
Yes! How amazing is our growth! It's all Jehovah!
Oh hell... Wrong one...
That's better now!
from the january 2017 watchtower:.
first paragraph reads: when faced with making a personal choice, one woman told a friend: “do not make me think; just tell me what to do.
that is easier.” the woman preferred being told what to do instead of using a precious gift from her creator, the gift of free will.
The perfect way to enslave people: tell them they have the free will to do things but will die if they disobey their superiors. Then this free will becomes just an illusion that in actuality keeps people enslaved.
well how's it going round your way?
massive increase of interested ones?
did you even know it was supposed to be happening?
Technically I do, but I guess it's easy to miss some topics...

WAIT... WHAT???
There was some kind of a special meeting? A campaign...? What the hell...?
No, seriously... What the hell? How did I not know this? I am an unbaptised Witness, still officially recognised as an unbaptised publisher, but I just faded around three or four months ago. I was a Witness in good standing in the congregation, and other Witnesses often praised me for my "wisdom" and thinking capabilities, which I presented in each answer I gave. (Despite being young, I never read from the magazines but put every answer in my own words; additionally, I did extra research.) Yet, no Jehovah's Witness knocked on my door because of this campaign to invite me to this special meeting. As a side note, there is an elder who lives at the same street as I do. It's literally 3–5 minutes of walk to get to his house. He was the one that studied the Bible with me and took me to the meetings. I thought they cared about my well-being and my life... Am I not going to die during the Armageddon? Do they not care out of the blue?
And like OnTheWayOut, don't get me wrong. I don't care. I am happy that I'm left alone. I'm just surprised... I thought somebody would have visited me by now.
so the wife was watching the latest installment of jw broadcasting and near the end there was a new segment on dating and courtship.
it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

The only negative thing about this guy that I saw was being on a phone during the meal... And even that is debatable. In reality, it would probably happen only once at a time during some very important event.
And watching basketball and cars? Well, if a girl thinks a guy shouldn't have hobbies then she isn't ready for a serious relationship... (Same goes for guys; if a guy thinks a girl shouldn't have hobbies he also is too immature.)
Having that said, I don't see any reason to break off the relationship... God, this cult is so embarrassing...
my brother (elder) e-mailed this to my sister(not a jw).
the francisco pope praises j.w worldwide.
oh shit, they will have a field day with this.
But... I don't understand... Aren't false religions supposed to be under the control of Satan??? Does it mean that Satan is commending us?!?!?!??!!
8 october 2016. china's governing communist party is set to launch a nationwide crackdown on the christian church.. by matthew carney - abc.
the communist party has just enacted much tougher laws that criminalise christians if they do not pledge loyalty to the state.. chinese president xi jinping has warned that all religions now have to become "chinese" and the new laws will attempt to bring churchgoers and their leaders under party control.. the new laws will put the state firmly in charge, giving the communist party the ability to hire and fire church leaders and change religious doctrine to make it more chinese.... that means churchgoers will have to pledge loyalty to the communist party first.. there is good reason to be afraid.
chinese authorities have already started the crackdown in the christian heartland in the southern province of zhejiang.. it's been extensive and brutal.
Thanks for the link. I'll read it immediately. Seems interesting.

I don't quite understand (because of my lack of knowledge on the subject) options 2 and 3. What was the approach the Governing Body took in Mexico and Malawi? I would appreciate if someone could fill me in on the matter.
Thanks in advance.
i remember around 2009, there was a scandal going on involving 2 families in my cong where the husband in one family was having an affair with the wife of the other family.
this resulted in pregnancy and subsequent disfellowshipping.
what was interesting to me though was a comment made by a co from the platform.
I guess it was somebody who really hates cheating. Bad experience from his past maybe?
But when you think about 7 years of being disfellowshipped... That's quite a lot. Don't get me wrong; I hate cheating myself as I highly value loyalty, but having no contact with family and friends for 7 years? That's a lot.
