J.F.Rutherford " Religion Is A Snare And A Racket "
Two ticks in their 140 odd years of prophesies can`t be too bad can it ?

The GB got it right!!!
by DATA-DOG ini’ve spent the evening watching some john cedars videos and laughing my ass off.
i was reminded of something that i’m pretty sure was mentioned on this forum when jw broadcasting started, that being the incorrect rotation of their “legit news globe” in the background.
in 2014 the globe spins from right to left in relation to the viewer, but in later episodes the globe spins the opposite way.

Looking back at some of your past posts I see that your wife is still pretty much PIMI and that can be very tricky for you when trying to educate your children about TTATT and protect them from cult thinking.
I don`t envy you being in that position it must be extremely hard and I dont really know what advice I could give you to alleviate the problem except to say take small steps ,many of us here have made the mistake of trying to wake somebody up far too quickly with disasterous results.
My thoughts are with you .

Isa.40 : 22 There is one who is dwelling above the circle of the earth....( only one ?)
I have coins in my pocket of various denominations they all have one/ two things in common ,they all have a circle and they are all flat ,not a sphere among them .

I think Earthmeasured is just trying to take the piss out of us however its good for a laugh is it not ?
It brings to my mind the song " It Ain`t necessarily So " Normie Rowe
"All that your libel
To read in the bible
Ain`t necessarily so "

Deborah was a prophetess and Judge of Israel with the approval of Jehovah .
She taught she judged she must have been an amazing woman Judges Chapt. 4
Jehovah doesn`t change so the Bible says.
So why shouldn`t their be women in roles that are presently only allowed for men? in congregations ?
And why isnt their a woman or two on the Governing Body to balance out the male ego`s of the present GB.?
Deborah was blessed by Jehovah for her service maybe the GB should take note and make the needed changes .
But then again since when have they been influenced by what the Bible actually says .?

WT about child abuse
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
there is something realy wrong if you have to tell your church members what to report to who when child abuse happens.. g..

The trouble was and maybe still is,is that Child sexual abuse was considered a sin and not a crime in JW land .
Hard to believe that may be ,but it is the truth and does not in any way alleviate the seriousness of the sin of omission committed by Elders who sat on judicial committees dealing with such cases and not reporting it to the appropriate authorities regardless of whether it was a mandated requirement or not.
Ethically and morally they should have reported such abuse to the authorities when it came to their notice.
They failed the victims.

Everybody holding a bible, Jackson holding maybe Kingdom Interlinear version to make sure all is right,
If he is then he should look more closely at the forward which states that Yahweh not Jehovah is more likely the correct pronunciation of the Divine name.
So the GB of JW`s are knowingly promoting a false name of God in their Worldwide Ministry .
The book "Aid To Bible Understanding" virtually said the same thing that Yahweh was the more correct pronunciation, however they stuck with the false name for God because it was the most popular name in Christendom.
Here is where Jehovah`s Witnesses speak out of both sides of their mouth .
They have always claimed that Christendom has tried to hide the name of God from their parishioner`s.
Why is the name Jehovah engraved in stone on so many Christian Churches throughout the world going back Centuries ? if they were trying to hide that name ?

Jehovah`s Witnesses apparently follow the Roman Catholics as it is the 13th Century Spanish Monk Justin Martinus who first coined the name Jehovah as the name for the God of the Tetragrammaton YHWH or JHVH
