i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.
i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.
i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.
Believer, you replied to Cofty:
There are no books that tell us anything at all about Jesus outside the NT.
You haven't looked far enough. There are dozens, maybe even hundreds.
He's probably sleeping now, but you are now going to have to prove that.

Just curious Believer, were you a convert or a born-in JW?
now this is weird, ever heard of the "mandela effect" ???
i know how crazy it sounds but i got to tell you, this article about the governing body finally admitting the "faithful slave" was not divinely appointed by jesus in 1919 was epic to me.
like a mandela effect feeling.
The big deal in 13 was that the GB alone took over the role of the FD&S excluding the rest of the remnant. The appointment over the belongings part is confusing to me, just like the claim that the Evil Slave has not arrived yet. Sometimes I think they are just trying to make it all confusing so they can eventually discard all the 607 nonsense and along with that 1914,.

I can hear Bro. Brown saying that now.
I wonder if the authorities that showed up at Jonestown felt the same way as this policeman.
maybe some of you interested in this:.
between 11/2015 and 05/2016 they merged in germany 48 congs into 24 congs.
in this time they build 16 language-groups and 3 sign-language-groups.
sorry i thought it was a new morning worship video but it is 6 months old and has already been discussed on here.. it is presented by gb helper k flodin and about this generation.
the delusion and hypocrisy runs deep.. he reminds the cult members not to speculate because they aren't supposed to know the day or the hour.
then he proceeds to speculate that armageddon will occur before 2040.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_video.
I am certain after watching this I see how these men climb the ladder. His comments about Splane were disgusting to me. What a brown noser.

Concerning the "Hope" video, I will say it's very professional. But watching as the story played out, I was expecting the wayward brother to return as a prodigal somehow, and that did not happen. In fact, it seemed to me that what he did in leaving at a young age for reasons that made sense to him and pursuing a career was not condemned at all and cast with a negative light like it usually is. The fact he give his brother money indicated he was doing well unlike his factory working brother who was more concerned about spirituality, I can see young ones who may be on the fence thinking that way already picking up on that.
Also, does anyone else find it unusual to hear the term "need-greaters" used in something official like this?
about 30-50 high profile guests are expected among 300 other guests.
the kingdom hall has requested for support from the police for crowd/traffic control .

debbie shards storyposted on july 22, 2014 by lee elderi was raised as a jehovahs witness in a family that was associated from about 1910. i grew up truly believing it was the truth.
i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.
basically, everything must change.
we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).
On the other thread, someone post this scripture, which I think says it all
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
