  by blondie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought i would never do this again, but a comment on this article made to look it up.

  not much knew but looking back at previous articles, the wts has ramped up on this topic since 2020...i see a correlation there.

  it is lengthy so i will split it up in parts.

  So many qualifiers: message that we MAY deliver in the near future, hailstorm MAY take the form, it COULD BE that this message. This tells me they don't know what the hell will happen and are just winging it.

  My favourite female protagonists: Ellen Ripley

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  and my next favourite female protagonist is ellen ripley, played by sigourney weaver.. ripley only just survived in ridley scott's alien (1979).. the sequel, james cameron's aliens (1986), was mostly about ripley overcoming her trauma from the first film.. she also ends up seriously kicking ass.. ripley is probably my favourite protagonist of all time.. the following clip is lovely.

  newt calls her mommy 🥰.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought this was an interesting response to the question.

  "being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.

  being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.

  Stress of Going to a Summer Convention

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.

  however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.

  as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.

  Bait and Switch "Bible studies"

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  mark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .

  "they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.

  what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.

  waton, current JW doctrine is that the anointed will survive INTO the GT but die before Armageddon.
