  What you can see is that many JWS are acting out through a pretentious characterization of righteous virtue and wholesomeness.

  A portrayed characterization designed and arranged by the WTS and its leaders themselves.

  They are in essence mostly playing to this role in cooperative unison and acceptance.

  Is he a brother , is she a sister ?

  The cumulative answer and how much involved they actively are such as in Pioneering, eldership, DO's, GB members etc. relates to their level of assumed righteousness.

  The reality is these people can be just as behaviorally wrong as the common practicing JWS are or non JWS for that matter.

  A Site About the Governing Body

  by Anna Marina in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this site puts the spotlight on gb's teachings, actions and policies.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses - putting a spotlight on their teachings, actions, and policies.

  the latest article examines the reasons why it is not scriptural to apply the two witness rule to child sexual abuse cases.. the “two witness rule”, is it scriptural to apply it to child sexual abuse cases?

  - the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  When men seek power and derive it from old ancient mythological writings such as the bible or the Quran and not from modern secular knowledge, humanity always suffers in one way or another.

  The leaders of the JWS (GB) is a case in point.

  vaccinations.

  how many deaths were instigated which could be prevented?watchtower policies against vaccines left faithful sheep vulnerable to horrible consequences.antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the 1930s.. 1921 - "vaccination never prevented anything and never will, and is the most barbarous practice" - golden age oct 12, 1921, p.17.

  1923 - "vaccination, summed up, is the most unhygienic, barbaric, filthy, abhorrent, and most dangerous system of infection known.

  Where to flee Covid mandates and restrictions?

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the moment there does not seem to be any place to flee to from covid mandates and restrictions.

  we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.

  but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?

  Remember when HITTING A WOMAN was just WRONG!

  by pistolpete in

  1. social
  2. current

  just a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.

  today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.

  what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.

  Sorry but I don't think a guy born a biological male and therefore have that natural physical advantage should be able to compete in fighting sports even if they are of the same weight class competing against natural born females.

  I also don't think something actively stupid and wrong has to be labeled or associated with left or right political ideologies.

  In practice common sense doesn't need it.

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  But keep in mind folks that those who control or make their own doctrines, actively lure in and control the people.

  Thats why the JWS leaders never sought out collaboration and backing support from other knowledgeable and trained bible theologians.

  "This Generation" revision is flawed not only from its own derivative, its also flawed because its based from another flawed doctrine which is 1914.

  One should always keep in mind that the WTS's doctrines were ideologically contrived in support of literature proliferation, not particularly in truthful and accurate scriptural interpretation.

  Sure some got married to woman to only eventually come out the closet leaving their female wives for male partners .

  Kind of felt sorry for those woman.

  One guy I remember was known to be homosexual but didn't act upon it, who eventually became an elder, go figure.

  The Bible - God's Word or Man's

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that is the title of one of the watchtower's seemingly endless list of books that was pushed out for sale placement in the jehovah's witness' ministry.

  the title does ask a great question.

  those who would deny that the bible is divine in origin usually point to failed prophecy, events that do not mesh with historic evidence, scientific evidence, or even plagiarism from other religions.

  The Hebrews had a reason, purpose and intent to what they wrote especially concerning and relating to their god.

  Through the knowledge of what mankind has acquired over the centuries, we can also see the apparent ignorance of the writers of the bible.

  Sep. 2021 Broadcast: more money

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.

  to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.

  first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.

  Its because the GB men want people to give their offering money to them, it therefore becomes an act of showing righteous loyalty to Jehovah.

  " You love Jehovah's earthly organization don't you ? "

  Seems like god turns on and off the light randomly and humanity has to pay in doing so .

  So many men want the power of god in their hands, yet they all say they are being spiritually guided from him but they say totally opposing things against one another.
