  crazy people shoot up places and kill people.

  take away guns and they will find knives, poison, bombs , etc.. seriously, there are a lot of mentally unhealthy people!

  Keeping Track Of The Brothers During The Great Tribulation

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i couldn’t help but watch the “bunker video “again.

  i learned that once they are in the bunkers they will need to get the attendance numbers from the different groups that are in hiding during the “great tribulation.” chris and wife risked their lives going to the different groups and getting the numbers and putting them on slip of paper which he then handed to brother brown.

  of course these numbers would have to be kept track of so they could make a full report back to the headquarters.

  And when a couple of young Japanese JW sister`s get attacked with one murdered and the other hospitalized the JW Organization quicky distances themselves from them saying they are only volunteers and are in no way accountable to the Jehovah`s Witness organization .

  Take notice lurkers ,you will be quickly thrown under the bus if the JW Org. thinks their may be even a hint of an insurance claim made against them

  The rank and file are like fodder to them simply to be exploited .

  I just glanced at the word sign in the" Bible Words Indexed" at the end of the 1984 NWT of the Bible with 20 entries half of which seem to contradict the other half.

  I`m sure their are plenty more in the Bible that do the same.

  On the one hand its a wicked and adulteress generation that keeps looking for a sign and on the other hand the Bible provides signs so the believers can be assured of their faith.?

  As for this asteroid are you sure its not a phallic symbol ? Or even a middle upright finger ?

  You often hear about how Jehovah protects his people in the WT and at conventions and such .

  But all is quite on the western front when some JW`s get murdered or even beheaded during some random violence or persecution .

  So it seems like Jehovah is partial as to who he saves and who he lets get murdered

  And why go hide in a Bunker ? just wait on Jehovah he will fix it in his due time .

  And Jehovah protects some brother as he goes around collecting attendance figures ? Are they for real ?

  Do they honestly really believe this nonsense ?

  Did you enjoy your visit to Bethel?

  i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.

  it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.

  but mostly just so boring.

  If you need a laugh:what's up watchtower AGM with Susan Gaskin

  by Diogenesister in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so funny, the guys from "what's up watchtower" join susan gaskin for a round-up of the crazy goings on in the jw/exjw world over the last year.

  at 34.00 mins the discussion about the naked, tripped out "car group"who were busted attempting to save their neighbours from an imminent armageddon had me in stitches.

  enjoy!.

  While its treated as a light hearted funny episode what can be overlooked is the seriousness of the facts it also speaks about .

  Point of facts : # 1 . I thought was particulary interesting was the role Steven Unthank has played in suing the "Faithful & Discreet Slave class" and ,the JW lawyers admitting no such class of people existed that it was only a Theocratic arrangement .

  #2 . How Steven Unthank shed nu-lite on the WT Organizations lawyers {not Jehovah or Jesus } that apostates were mentally diseased persons.Highlighting a soon to be released NWT that changed the wording in that scripture .

  #3 . Terence O-Brian lawyer for JW`s acknowledging under oath in a court of law that Steven Unthank was not an apostate .

  Even though he has taken them to court suing the "faithful & Discreet Slave Class" , and taken the JW`s to court for refusing to get the required by law to get working with children checks and was successful their .

  Their are other gems in their worth reflecting on also that could benefit people .

  I think the heading of the opening post could have been worded better so more people would likely view it .

  just my 2 cents worth

  { I almost didn`t bother to watch it , however I`m glad I did } simply because of the heading.

  hi guys .

  i was wondering about the above , if a jw is allowed to remarry if a spouse has died, then what happens when they are resurrected at armageddon, do u land up with two wives/husbands ,,,,,,, makes no sense to me & can the jw's be so dumb not to think about this or have i got it wrong ?

  and i will not be asking my uber jw husband , don't have the energy.. thanks.

  Do Angels have sexual organs ? i don`t think so ,yet they materialized as males to have sex with female humans ?

  Wern`t their any Gay/lesbian Angels in Heaven ? who wanted to have sex with their fellow humans ?

  Why does the bible only depict Angels materializing { apparently to only males } and only wanting to mate with females ?

  Was that a failing of Jehovah God that he/she did not give sexual organs to Angels ? That they were looking down on humans and thinking , shit look what we are missing out on .

  Where do Christians,Muslims and Jews think/believe Heaven is ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this 21st century with so many nations involved in space exploration sending satellite`s out into the far reaching` s of the universe and none have detected anything resembling what could be described as a heaven ,i`m just wondering how these 3 major religions that base their beliefs on sections of the bible would/could answer this question.?.

  not only have these many satellites been deployed to various parts of our solar system but at least a couple have even ventured out of our solar system into deep space .. and none have encountered a heaven of any description.. your thoughts ?.

  What , no takers ? Come on guys heaven has a big role to play in the Bible, Koran, Jewish religion .

  Surely both believers and non believers can add their 2 cents worth to such a basic belief that`s taught in Scripture ?

  I honestly would like to hear both sides of the story in light of this 21st Century`s scientific achievements in Space exploration .

  Where is Heaven ?

  hi everyone, haven't been here or posted for many many years, my health has been poor..

  i checked in briefly the other day and i was very happy to see and hear that something substantial is finally happening about the mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse in the organization here in australia, thanks to the australian royal commission hearings..

  some things that i was just wondering about that someone may already be aware or knows if it will be implemented:.

  According to G.Jackson at the CARC Jehovah`s Witnesses would love that as it takes the "burden" off them to do so .

  As he said under oath it would make things much easier for the Jehovah`s Witness religion ? if it was made mandatory in all states in Australia.

  Knowing what I know now 21 months of mandatory military service would be a piece of cake compared to studying and being accepted as a Baptized Jehovah`s Witness that may end up taking decades to get out of your system.

  That is if you ever could .
