2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

by Listener in

a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

The UN recently managed to pass legislation, or whatever it's called, which failed for the WHO, that they will have the authority to over rule local governments and authorities in events involving Planet, Human and Animal Health. Maybe that includes war, I don't know but it also involves the WEF.

Your man in the talk isn't prophesying, at least, not on behalf of God, but sharing the inside info that he has been allowed to share. The WT corporations are signed up to WEF organisations which are trying to bring all religions together. WT is actively involved up to the eyeballs, I wonder what they have been promised in reward by their human rulers?

WATCHTOWER WINS IN FRANCE AGAINST 🇫🇷 MIVILUDES

by raymond frantz in

jw
friends

https://youtu.be/lkflr6sgyfm?si=j4gopnyfpy3wxnxs.

in what can only be described as a win for truth, justice, and religious freedom (depending on who you ask ofcourse), the paris administrative court has come to the defense of jehovah’s witnesses.

on june 14, 2024, the court ruled that miviludes, france’s government agency for monitoring cult-like behavior, had committed the heinous crime of defamation against jehovah’s witnesses.france unlike most other countries has an agency that monitors destructive cults and gets who is in their list: jehovah’s witnesses, i wonder why that is.

I am beginning to think that WT won't fall because of CSA cases, the elites, the politicians, the royals are all too implicated themselves.

Child abuse was the norm in Ancient Rome and in the higher echelons of society, today's 'patricians and senators' , things are just as depraved and debauched.

Maybe their fall will be because of financial scandal. Who knows.

Large number of fake requests for a call

by JohnR1975 in

my body of elders keeps getting requests for someone to call round.

when we send one of the pioneers they say nobody in the house actually requested a visit.

it was fake.

Prank calls 😂 love it, humourous warfare

Proof of two destinies for believers in the Bible, heavenly and earthly

by slimboyfat in

the jw idea that believers are destined either for heavenly life or for endless life on earth comes in for significant criticism by critics of various kinds.

even some groups, such as the christadelphians, who share belief in a future paradise earth, don’t share the view that some christians are destined for life in heaven.

yet there is surprisingly quite a lot of evidence in the bible for the existence of two distinct groups of believers.

KerryKing

IF there are two groups with separate destinations/jobs then I think people need to be humble enough to accept that it's very likely the faithful Jews, whether from before or after Jesus' death, who will be part of the 144000.

Insisting otherwise is the same as attempting to claim the best seat at the wedding banquet. Let the host assign you your seat, just make sure you're there on time and in the door with your invite.

Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

by slimboyfat in

say it ain’t so!

.

in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

KerryKing

The problem isn't whether there is a two tier system or not, or how many there are, the problem is that all those claiming today to be anointed, CAN'T prove it!!

Jesus, the Apostles and 1st century disciples, could prove their anointing with holy spirit by miracles, healing, speaking in tongues, prophesying, good works and so on.

Those claiming to be anointed now, are self appointed anointed Christians. They have picked the best seat in the house for themselves, rather than waiting for the host to asign them a seat. And they have assigned the less favourable seats to those whom they decree to be less deserving, less spiritual than they themselves.

It is the height of arrogance to state that 'We are anointed, but you are not, you obviously have a mental illness'!!

How many times did Jesus stress and highlight the essential quality of humility, to enter the Kingdom of God? That his disciples have to be like little children, ie non ambitious?

The entire male population of the WT org is steeped in ambition and power grabbing!

WTS 2024 Annual Business Meeting ...

by careful in

... is just three weeks from this saturday.

the org has been tight-lipped, really, successfully secret about advance info on these in recent years,.

now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting fs time, judicial matters, etc.

KerryKing

That's interesting 3gen.

Not long ago I had the discussion with my pimi family member about the doctrine change re the fd and the gb being one and the same. They answered, well we always knew that not ALL the anointed wrote the wt articles!

Seems like they were wrong.

Videos used to teach the resurrected ones?

I haven't heard that one yet 🤣🤣 so God is going to leave the power supply undamaged or at least enough diesel powered generators after the fire and brimstone from the skies assault so that the JWs can watch their little happy videos 😂😂

I can understand why you're needing to vent! ❤️

What evidence is there for a biblical jesus?

by Touchofgrey in

is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.

the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.

i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.

KerryKing

What do you mean by 'independently verified'?

Scholars, historians, archaeologists, scientists?

Would you accept any of their conclusions? I know I wouldn't because they're human, prone to mistakes...to greed..fame...power.

People believe what they want to believe, and what they don't want to believe. So long as it harms no one, benefits themselves and even others, who are any of us to demand proof of their beliefs?

Whoever said these words 'Love thy neighbour as thyself' was a very very wise man, because if each and every one of us, spoke to and acted towards each other as we wish to be spoken to and treated, this world would be a joyful wonderful beautiful planet to thrive on.

That's good enough for me. Peace be with you all.
