Female JW parking "attendants"

by neat blue dog in

i was shocked recently to see on social media a couple pictures of jw sisters at a convention working as parking "attendants".

i put that title in quotation marks because they still don't get the official attendant badge like the male parking attendants do, only the reflective vest.

has anybody else heard of this .

Sorry but i do wonder what is wrong with the women and even the intelligence of the women in the organization that allow themselves to be demeaned in this way and they quietly just shut up and put up with it ?

It takes a good imagination to be a JDub

by Sour Grapes in

at the regional convention, the speaker said that jehovah is our best friend.

so let's see...if i need a ride to the doctor's office can i call on my best friend to give me a ride to the office?

when i wake up in the morning and tell my best friend jehovah, "good morning, how are you?

And after the 1000 years has ended Jehovah will let his good buddy Satan out of the Abyss to mislead and corrupt as many as he can which according to Revelation are as numerous as the sands of the sea.

So obviously many more millions are to be slaughtered by the God of Love who gave his son a 1000 years earlier so no one would be destroyed ?

Maybe God has a short memory ? or he has Dementia ? or Alzhiemers? or he just loves killing humans .

How is it according to the Bible God did communicate with individuals during the first 4 Centuries before Jesus Christ came on the scene no hang on he did communicate with some in Jesus day ?

So why does he not directly communicate with those that claim to be his earthly representatives on earth today as the Faithful and Discreet Slave class.? In theses last days ?

Has he lost his voice ? If this is supposed to be the last days before he brings his judgement on mankind isnt this the time he should be at least speaking to those who claim to be representing Him and not remaining silent ?

Leaked S-303 Assembly Guidelines: Stealth tax? Money over mercy?

by Fay Dehr in

anyone got any more info they can share, or comments to add on this question: .

are jw assemblies and conventions hit with a stealth tax?why do i ask?

well, please take a look at these leaked docs.... s-330-e_assembly-guidelines - https://1drv.ms/b/s!amcrvjcxi6m6gxlpiqofwa6ho52l.

I just looked at the links you provided Fay Dehr and I could just see Jesus Christ sitting down with his Twelve Disciples and outlining to them all of these man made rules and regulations and legalities etc and saying to them ,

"Make sure you familiarize yourself with all of these requirements before I speak to the great crowd that we expect to attend my next sermons .

We want to make sure we get the maximum contributions from them for the world wide preaching that is going to take place by the Roman Catholic Church before the protestants come along and throw a spanner in the works and confuse even me .

Archbisop jailed in Australia

Of course its too early to blow your trumpet in victory as he could and will very likely appeal the decision of the court and it could drag on for years if it eventually went before the High Court of Australia which is a possibility.

Having said that it still is a significant victory that could/should open the way for many other cases to be found in favour of victims of Child sexual abuse where Clergy/Priests/Elders have failed to report such abuse and covered it up in their respective institutions to be charged and convicted as this Archbishop Wilson no less a senior member of the Roman Catholic Church of Australia. was.

I think we would all like to see the Elders of the Jehovah`s Witnesses face the same charges given that their were over 1000 Judicial cases by Elders of Child Sexual abuse that were never reported to Law Enforcement`s /Police or Child Welfare Authorities and was in effect covered up by the religion.

LTPF you have nailed it like a "hole in one" and it all flies in the face of the statement of C.T.Russell`s words to the effect that

,"We will never ask or beg for money if the voluntary contributions dry up then we will know that God has said it is enough and our work is done"

If there is a god.....

friends

“if there is a god, and he is a loving god, then he would of given each of us a time machine” .

The "Time machine" genre belongs in the Si-Fi box and the imagination of people who make up excellent books and movies on the subject and I hope that`s where it stays.

Imagine some good meaning well intentioned J.W.sending you back to a time when you were an active J.W over and over and over again until you saw the light again and rejoined

In Search of An Analogy

by InjusticeSystem in

i hope this finds all of you well.

i'm also hoping some of you might be able to help me with a particular type of de-witnessing strategy that i'm trying to develop more in my own discussions with active family members.

it seems to me that analogy and metaphor plays a prominent role in the society's teaching (critical thought killing) techniques.

Jehovah's Witnesses worship a pagan god derived from the ancient Canaanite civilization

by Finkelstein in

historians of ancient history along with bible scholars have found from where the ancient hebrews acquired their god yhwh .. el was the all powerful god of the canaanites which the hebrews converted mostly to a monotheist style of worship for themselves.. apparently their were ancient civilizations that predated the canaanites as well .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnpaoappiqm.

And according to the "Aid Book" published by Jehovah`s Witnesses they admit that the name Jehovah is not an accurate translation of his name but it is the most popular/common name in use in the world .( Satan`s world mind you ) ?

And who in this world would be the people most likely to be using a name of God ? Why Christendom of course whether they be preachers Clergy Bible Scholars ,Biblical researchers etc.

,However they, in the world that are using that name Jehovah all belong in one form or another to Christendoms religions who Jehovah`s Witnesses have branded as apostates .? of the Christian faith.

So how is it that Jehovah`s Witnesses adopt for God a name that is invented and sanctioned by Apostate Christendom in the thirteenth Century namely Jehovah ?

News spot for JW convention - keep barf bags ready

by days of future passed in

i could barely stand listening to it.

watching the jw pushers at the same time was too much.

Maybe the journalist should have asked what is it that Jehovah`s witnesses provide at these conventions that is any different from what any other christian religion offers ?

Jehovah`s Witnesses are mainly made up of ex members of other Christian religions that have been poached away by Jehovah`s Witnesses ,very few join from non Christian religions how is it you don`t seem to appeal to non Christian religions ?

Christendoms Religions have spent thousands of years making converts to Christianity and Jehovah`s Witnesses come along this past 100 years or so and steal them away to an old time worship of Jehovah that was exclusive to the Jews and not Jesus that the scriptures say" every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground" and " that God gave him (Jesus) a name that is above every other name" ( which includes Jehovah)

As for the obese guy "practice what you preach man " or is it a case of do what I say and not what I do .

Just saying.
