135Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting
by slimboyfat insay 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?

I would say the majority of JWs have now figured out that the end is not coming in their lifetime. My parents were true believers. My mom pioneered since I can remember, dad was an elder for a long time. After the annual meeting changes, where the governing body member said that now people can repent at the last minute, actually that people would be allowed to see the Great Tribulation and repent, my mom stopped pioneering, Dad stepped down as an elder, as well as other elders in the congregation stepped down.They didn't make a fuss, they just quietly stepped down and stopped Door to Door.
When they stepped down they attended all the meetings and maybe an hour or two on Saturday field service. Then they started Zoom during the week and only attended Sunday. Then they stopped Door to Door completely and just attended Sundays once a month. Finally they stop attending all the meetings and just Zoom.
I hear all this from my younger brother, because I think they are embarrassed to tell me anything. So I don't press it. Last I heard my parents are attending some kid's baseball games every Sunday.
Then add to that is the fact that they are not supposed to count hrs in field service anymore. That has caused several regular pioneers to quit pioneering and most of them have started taking the steps towards a career. In my parents congregation, my younger brother told me that most of the time they have between 25-40 people attend on Sunday. before covid it was over 100 every Sunday.
Only two to four people go out in service regularly on Saturdays, and they are the Old timers.
I think a lot of people are leaving. There has been a lot of pictures on other social platforms, of kingdom halls Sunday attendance with only 20 people and sisters handling the mics.
The WT religion is gone. Door to door is a farce, it use to be Zoom but now it's not even that anymore.
There's probably a few congregations where people are still trying to hang on. But give it another 5 years and they will figured it out also. The members are leaving quietly, not making a big fuss. And the older ones are dying every day. That's why they are selling Kingdom Halls every week or consolidating congregations.
The Truth is not the Truth anymore and people know it.

Putin has become predictable, dropping the threat to go nuclear whenever the war HE STARTED escalates.
Fighting together, Europe, the Nato nations and the U.S. would crush Russia overnight
I've learned by reading tons of book on human psychology, tons of books on crime and murder, that when someone makes a threat against you, whether it's to shoot you or nuke you, You take his threats seriously. It doesn't matter if it's a small pussy man, a woman, a young teen, or a 71 year old dictator.
If Putin is attacked by Nato, and pushed into a corner, I wouldn't doubt he would go, but he would take most of Europe with him by nuking them. You are talking millions of people plus disruptions in food and fuel supplies, perhaps for years to come. Also they would now become vulnerable to other nations like China, Korea, Iran or others.
Several US Congressmen are so stupid that they have actually called for a tactical nuclear war against Russia. They have no idea that all it takes is a couple of nukes to hit American cities, and literally millions will die instantly and millions more will die because of disruptions in food delivery to several states, fuel disruption, chaos among the survivors, etc.

What if JWs voted in elections?
by Las Malvinas son Argentinas inall this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….
let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.
i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.

As it has become obvious by all the different views. Democrats are for welfare programs, Republicans don't want that many because lots of people abuse them. Democrats are for abortion, Republicans not in many cases but not all. Democrats want open borders, Republicans want "Make America Great Again"
The problem all around the world is that we can't sustain Huge Countries with Millions of people with different beliefs, Customs, Culture, Religious orientation, etc., and expect a small group of people to be elected and make important decisions for the millions and millions of different tribal, racial, and religious groups.
It won't work indefinitely. Sooner or later Civil War will break out amongst the different groups, and the Nation might fragment into different Countries just like the continent of Africa.
First of all, humans don't need leaders, period. But in the evolutionary process of reaching our potential as a self sustaining human species, we still haven't reached that point of understanding. The majority of humans haven't grown up. The majority of people still want someone to take care of them, they still want parents to care for their needs.
As a result of not growing up, many humans are irresponsible, many woman have tons of babies with different fathers and want welfare programs to care for their stupidity. Many men are also idiots, in that they impregnate tons of women and won't accept the responsibility to care for their own children, they want the State to care for them.
So who pays for these irresponsible men and woman? The law abiding, hard working citizens. They are the ones that pay the price.
On top of that, we still allow Greedy, Power Hungry men and women to obtain power. And once they grab power, they control masses of people to their demise. A good example of this is Bill Gates. Yes Capitalism works for some, but for the majority, it does not.
Bill Gates was allowed to become a Billionaire. With that much power he is buying thousands and thousands of Acres of Farmland. What do you think he is going to do with all that farmland? He and his decedents will control all the food in the USA. He is already using his power to derail many farmers and put them out of business. Capitalism, Socialism, Marxism and all those political structures don't work.
Whether we like it or not, Billionaires/ aka the Elite, determine your life because they set the parameters for the masses of citizens who are not Billionaires.
What humans need to do is decentralize all these Nation States with Millions and Millions of people run by a few men and woman. It doesn't work. The world population needs to be broken into small communities. Communities small enough where every responsible voter votes for policy that affects the community and not elect individuals who make life and death decisions for them based on factors like; She is a "Woman....Woman of Color.....or Good Looking.....or a Man that is Good Looking......Tall, ...etc.
The majority of US will not vote for polices that affect them, they will vote for a person's looks, gender, race, tribe.
A generation of 18 years old kids who believe a man can get pregnant is allowed to vote. How do you think that will affect the lives of the majority.
Young girls are allowed to vote for war, which will force young men to go and die, but the women who voted are exempt from going to die for their beliefs. They can stay in the comfort of their home and have a nice career on only fans, becoming a millionaire in a matter of a few years. How is that fair.
Elections and Voting for an Oligarchy is a Scam. It's worse than the scam the Governing Body is using on its members.

Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?
by liam ini didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.
practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.
now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

That podcast with Joe Rogan and Brett Weinstein is an interesting theory on why the Covid Vaccine was created in the first place.
What we know now is that Bio-weapons manufactures financed by taxpayer's monies, had been planning to create a weapon that could be delivered to a certain populations that needed to be culled for any reason that might pose a threat to the survival of those in power, including an enemy nation.
The spike protein has the ability to lay dormant in some people for decades, then at a certain age of the individual, it resurfaces in the form of some type of respiratory disease that will kill the individual but cannot be traced back to the vaccine. This will allow those in power to control who and who will not live.
The best and assured way to control any dissenters to the power structure in Government is to vaccinate all the population with a spike protein that has a timer and can hide in everyone's DNA, and be turned on anytime those in control decide to cull the population.
This would explain why many got the vaccine and never got sick like the unhealthy who died. But if they got the vaccine, they are still on a timer.

Alien: Romulus
by nicolaou ini never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up.
romulus is getting great reviews and i just don't understand it.
it was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.. it brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact.

Here is an honest review of Alien Romulus.It is a movie that is catering to the new generation that has never seen the first alien movies
It's not a movie for the overlapping generation.

Jw Broadcasting Sept 24 : Making up stories about Miriam
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/mvhvtxh3fn0?si=yw_pszgyh8xvmoy8.
so the following video is part of the latest jw broadcasting for september 2024 the script for this video is taken from the publication "immitate their faith" which is like "my book of bible stories" but for adults but is full of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods and here we deal with an outright fabrication about miriam, the sister of moses:.
under the subtitle "miriam the proud" we read: privileges and prominence bring blessings as well as dangers.

Why did God stop intervening in human affairs and deliverance of his people?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe bible is full of stories of god intervening on behalf of those that had trust and faith in him.
he rescues his people from various battles, trials and challenges from their enemies.
the rescued individuals or communities are quick to offer praise and gratitude to god for his mighty acts on their behalf.. the story of the israelites’ exodus from egypt and the parting of the red sea is a prime example of god’s powerful deliverance in the bible.

God Never intervene!
These are just ancient stories.
God never parted the Red Sea.
God never stopped hungry lions from eating an old man named Daniel
And the wall of Jericho never fell because of Trumpet blasts.
Goliath was not 10 ft tall. David was probably 5ft and a couple of inches tall and Goliath was 5ft 9" maybe. Men tend to exaggerate how tall they are throughout history.
And a Donkey didn't have a conversation with Balaam because Donkeys can't talk....Unless it's Shrek's donkey.
And that's why God didn't intervene to stop Hitler from killing Millions of innocent men, women and children.
And that's why God didn't stop humans from inventing the Atomic Bomb and disintegrating two cities.
And that's why Gold won't stop a nuclear war from wiping out most of humanity.
Everything bad that happens is because of us humans and who we put in power. Don't vote Harris!
