i have just been informed that there is a 'special letter' to be read at the meetings week of feb 3,2019 in canada.
anybody heard of this!!
just a heads-up!
Dear brothers ,
We have just been informed by none other than Jesus Christ himself that the G.T. is just around the next corner ,not too far away and the big A is around the next corner after that ,so lift your heads up because your deliverance is very near .
P.S. Don`t forget to donate your valuable things $$$$ while their is still time left before it all becomes worthless refuse.
Your Christian Brothers
The Governing Body
the gb individuals are chosen not by holy spirit as we well know but by being selected for one quality only, that of implaccable loyalty to the watchtower organisation.. to be up there requires the fixation that the org is being used by god -- even though now in the small print they claim they are not divinely guided -- what a laugh, what a puzzle?.
the more i watch their antics the more implausible they seem.
their function: to persuade as many people as possible to conform to their own whacky beliefs.. most jws eventually leave the fold, only one third remain as we understand, so will any of the gb become pimo?.
Anythings possible Hb .Its true that most of us here at one stage never dreamed we would be sitting on this side of the fence exposing WT `s deceptive ,manipulative and controlling practices .
Yet here we are , so anything is possible.
Though it is hard for humans to give up prestige ,adulation,power & authority,not to mention the life-style they enjoy,world travel along with other lurks and perks they undoubtedly have.
It would take a man with intestinal fortitude to do so and I`m not sure any of the present GB qualify.
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 ?

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 .
