Just read that Carl Olof Jonsson died yesterday
by slimboyfat infor newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

The young elder topic made me think of this
by enoughisenough init somehow never set well with me that if a boy got baptized that his mother couldn't pray or hold a study with him or in his presence without a headcovering.
maybe some of you were baptized as a boy in the home...how did that make you feel?
( like knowing you had rank over your mom???

How about Mary, a human, being the mother of GOD ? I Know I`m a bit off topic here as well but there you go.
Jesus being the third person of the trinity doctrine.,one of the GODHEAD.
enoughisenough ,you make good pointing out just one of the absurdities of WT theology ,however WT isn`t alone their.
Show me a religion that hasn`t ? Made a dick of themselves. ?

Nicolas King: the clues continue
by neat blue dog informer jw chorus member, original song performer and jw movie actor by day (and nightclub singer by night, not a bethelite & never was) nicolas king still hasn't come out about his sexuality or 'spiritual standing', although the clues have been accumulating for some time.
some new ones to add to the list...... you might remember fellow jw singer alex ashley, with whom he partnered last year for a concert.. .
well later that year (2022) alex ashley posted this intriguing message to facebook:.

And even if they become aware of this "trend" they still won`t be able to resist going to the reading ,just in case it`s legit .

Nisan 14 or not?
by LostintheFog1999 inif jesus memorial meal is meant to follow on from the jewish passover celebration, would someone explain to me why the jehovah's witness community are holding their "lord's evening meal" on tuesday 4th april; when the jewish community are not holding their 2023 passover until the 5th april 2023?
doesn't this mean that the jehovahs have got their date wrong?.

Yes ,and I`m ashamed to admit it as it shows how stupid and gullible I was and to bring my two boys up in this cult of a religion.
But thankfully we are all out now and getting on with our lives.
My memory is failing me somewhat now ,but I convinced my then GF who became my wife and remained a JW for between 30-40 years

Regardless of what qualifications he claims to have he can`t be too bright if he is a practicing JW as he claims.

Shaking hundreds of hands every week: are JWs the only ones?
by psyco inwe know that with our hands we touch what everybody else does: money, handles, buttons, etc.. we also know for sure, since the xix century, that our hands carry bacteria and germs causing serious illnesses because of that.. despite more than 25,000 jws dying because of the covid, showing they are not immune, they were proudly declaring how good they were in handling this pandemic.. now, jws have started to shake hundreds of hands per week at their meetings, like before, even if covid is not over yet demonstrating hygiene knowledge back to medieval times.. i am wondering: are they the only religion/community/group still doing this or others are doing the same?.

Is this a fact ? 25,000 dying because of Covid ? If so ,then they haven`t learnt much have they nor has their God apparently, ,and they still shake hands ?
