  No Need To Preach In Every Country Anymore

  by pale.emperor in

  2. beliefs

  speaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.

  he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.

  and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?

  Who remembers when the internet was evil
  

  Almost 20yrs ago, a young bloke from the job site I was working on, heaving with JWs, was wrangled into attending a JW convention. I asked him what he thought of it, I’ll never forget his response.

  “What was with all that, ‘the internet is the devil’ shit? And how come you’re not allowed to flog off?”

  Flogging off = masturbating. I’m not sure if that’s an Aussie thing but anyway, this bloke was having none of it, probably enjoyed a flog while viewing the internet, like many Jws would I’m guessing.

  Do You Think Veterans Are Treated Fairly?

  i don’t think many people truly appreciate what veterans have done for their country.

  i believe they should be given the best health care over any other group.

  members of congress have phenomenal health care.

  Not all serve in the same capacity and obviously some service comes at a great cost. It takes an army of people to keep only a few fighting, those who take the ultimate risk will virtually never be the same and should be looked after. Lots of service people in the military, probably the majority, will never have to face a man in anger or put themselves in the line of fire. For some it’s a job that offers security and opportunity where there exits little.

  I feel for those who have served and deserve much better, and generally speaking it seems Veterans form USA can get it pretty rough.

  JWs: No Infant Baptism! (just children)

  here's a new article that came out:.

  do jehovah’s witnesses baptize infants?no.

  the bible does not endorse infant baptism.

  The bible does not endorse infant baptism nor child baptism, but really the Bible does not endorse plenty of shit they’ve come up with.. so just dunk the babies while they’re still blue and call them dedicated servants of Jehovah. When they start Kindergarten, they can ramp up the pressure not to associate with the little worldly grubs and do any satanic activities, like the Xmas, Easter and that horrible mothers/fathers day stuff. The threat of divine judgement in the little ones eyes is would be so heartwarming for them.

  Why is Life Expectancy in the USA So Low Compared to Other Countries?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw

  i was looking at the world health org.

  report and it shows the us ranks 37th in the world (tied with albania) for combined male/female life expectancy.

  the top 5 were japan, switzerland, singapore, israel and spain, all around 83 years.

  US statistics are skewed by inner city ghettos and illegal immigrants. These people do not have healthy life styles and do not seek medical care appropriately. All this 'diversity' hammers our statistics. You are trying to make a political point but it falls apart when you look at internal numbers
  

  ..because the typical middle class white American is a vision of health, I doubt they would ever consume things like red meat and refined carbs in excess. In reality we see affluence comes with a host of potential health dangers

  They’ve got a regular spot in town thats very obscure, actually incredibly stupid given the urgency that’s apparently associated with their message. Very little foot traffic passes the area it’s mainly vehicles.

  It’s not so much witnessing nowadays just blending in with the general scenery, or sometimes even blatant hiding.

  Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?

  by minimus in

  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  Generally speaking I don’t give shit about the police, I’ve met so many bad ones, mostly traffic cops though. Funnily enough, I’ve had my residency raided by the state drug squad and they were all quite courteous at my house.

  I was driving a sports car 15 or more years ago, got pulled up by a female cop who gets to my car window and says, “Daddy’s car is it?”... a disgracefully unprofessional way to address me I thought. My father was dead and I’d worked my arse off at manual labour in the hot Aussie sun for years to afford the car.

  I do like Rage Against the Machines version of F*ck the Police

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  I’d imagine the JW obsession over apostates will escalate dramatically over the next few years. That’s a multitude of messengers to shoot.

  this morning, this article appeared on our national online news channel; the abc.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-10/jehovahs-witness-abuse-exposed/11561776.

  They can’t join the redress scheme because they’ve spent 100+ years bagging the shit out of governments and their initiatives. Only the WTS provides solutions, worldly institutions are ultimately controlled by Satan.

  Now the government and public want justice for child sexual abuse victims and the WT is going to hang itself on this issue. The idiots are embarrassing themselves in the court of public opinion it’s become a sick joke.

  I can’t see how they can join, not joining will be very detrimental on a number of fronts.

  Why is it so important to them to let child molesters go out in the field ministry?

  by Eustace in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what's up with the watchtower society still letting those they know to have sexually abused children go out in the field service despite that being crucial to the ruling against them in the conti suit?

  they don't let men with beards go out in the field service in america with the justification that "beards are not the custom" and that therefore they "are not considered acceptable for christian ministers," but having sexually abused a child is somehow acceptable for a christian minister?.

  last i checked molesting children isn't considered socially acceptable according to the customs of the united states and certainly finding out that child molesters are allowed to be jehovah's witness publishers is a whole lot more alienating to potential converts than them seeing jehovah's witness publishers with beards.

  The WT is run on yes-men not the content or character of individuals, they just want people who will do as they’re told.

  The best JW is always Brother Yes-man, who is out witnessing at every opportunity.
