just a thought and perhaps this has been discussed before but no jehovah's witness ever actually dies in the truth.
pick a year, any year.
if a jw died in say 1920 or 2020 or whatever...the doctrines change so much and so fast that what is "truth" today is "untruth" the next within this religion.
The fact that the GB/WT speak out of both sides of their mouth enables the R&F to flip flop between one belief and then an opposing belief with apparently no problem to their sanity ?
That`s why they seemingly have an answer for everything ,they can pick and choose how they answer a question because of the many flip flops.
anyone here from or living in aberdeen area of scotland, uk?.
I lived in Aberdeen Street Melb.Vict for a while does that count ?
Sorry I couldnt resist that.
in the image you can see what jw wrote about how galileo was treated by the catholic church.
now they are disfelloshipping me because i believe the earth is flat.
is this coherent?.
I don`t know whether to laugh or cry about that waton i have tears in my eyes thinking about it .
at matthew 24:45, where jesus discussed the faithful and discreet slave, he gave only two identifying features of that slave.
(1) providing the master’s domestics food at the proper time; and, (2) after having done so, being appointed by the master himself over all the master’s belongings.. since current watchtower teaching is that the appointment over all the master’s belongings is yet future and that such appointment is to be made by the master himself, how does the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses account for the fact that it has preemptively identified itself as that faithful and discreet slave?.
surely there remains among believing jws some who can discern the problem with this teaching!
What authority does a slave have over his Master ? It reminds me of the slaves leaving Egypt .
Where did they get all of these tents, equipment ,livestock,utensils,etc,etc,they were slaves for Christs sake.!
Sorry to go off topic.
i’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.
Hey they got something else right many years ago DD ? remember ?
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 ?
good morning, .
i am just wondering how you have constructively worked through the emotions of waking up?
i am trying hard to be positive, and i know life is a gift.
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 .
As an outsider ,Ozzie , I would choose Claire Underwood anyday.
just saying.

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 "
my intro essay for the new book caused all sorts of off blog controversy.
my writing partner, a retired educator and a witness, responded.
why aren't more witness men like this?
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 .?
