this post is necessarily lengthy, but my hope is that these 14 examples of wtbts dogma will be examined closely by those who either have something to gain by doing so, or those who can provide "new light" for any of the topics.. "however, you may say in your heart: “how will we know that jehovah has not spoken the word?” when the prophet speaks in the name of jehovah and the word is not....true, then jehovah did not speak that word.
you should not fear him.

Anybody like to abbreviate this post key points to help others still trapped in the borgs so called "New Truths" shenanigans.?
The fact that we are now living in the year 2023 should wake up a multitude of old timers that the GB of JW`s dont know, and have never known what they are talking about.
we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.
they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?
) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.
Isn`t Simon just talking about other religionists who want to voice there opinions and take over the discussion here ?
“ The site isn't here to host your bible diarrhea, so please don't bother - you're just going to be wasting your time.”
Or have i got the bull by the tale ?
has anybody any information as to the whereabouts or the health of anthony morris ?.

Didn`t someone once say something like the Bible is an instrument that anyone can play a tune on to whatever they fancy ? or something along those lines.?
I have lived a long good life ,i don`t need a bible to tell me how to live ,and I dont need a bible to teach me about morals that I already have,
geoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .
“if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.
there’s no way to make that happen.
"I can’t explain the reason why AI poses an existential risk in anything like detail required"
And I don`t believe anybody else can either..
I think that`s all that needs to be said on the subject
highly recommend this video from youtube.
really well researched.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeggkcpkuve.
it has an interesting section about the un and jw's involvement and its good to actually see the un letter concerning jw membership still on the un website.
That`s all very interesting and a blight on humanity .,inexcusable .
What needs to be done is fix these situations by a world that can unite to doing so.?
However, believing in a pie in the sky alternative as the Jehovah`s Witnesses would have you believe ,is no answer.
Armageddon ,New system of Things , New World , etc,etc. are all just pipe dreams with no relevance in the real world.
They have never happened and will never happen. And the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses know that ,but will never tell the rank and file JW members ,because that would be the end of their religion.
So it`s in the religions best interest`s to keep that belief that Armageddon /New World is just around the corner ,and keep the believers thinking that it is just around the corner ,any day soon.
i am relating this happening.
i shared some thoughts from the 1989 question from readers concerning christ being mediator between god and man ( the wt spinning that he isn't ) and also the paragraph in that same article that plainly says: clearly, then the new covenant is not a loose arrangement open to all mankind.
it is a carefully arranged legal provision involving god and anointed christians.
Jehovah`s Witnesses have no Clergy until they are asked a question in a court of law that they don`t want to answer ,then they claim Clergy privilege .

Marked to watch at a more suitable time for me .
The video shows the Awake articles that sucked up to the UN from the 90's, notably the articles from Oct and Nov 1998, which has a full page transcript of the UN declaration of human rights. Big surprise, the 1998 Awake is missing from the JW.org library. Coincidence?
Now that is very interesting .

the link is to the tv report - may 3, 2023. .
below is a transcript of the tv report.. a pennsylvania grand jury has recently brought child sexual abuse charges against nine men—all jehovah’s witnesses—in what some are calling the most extensive investigation into the group in history.
I think you have a point there ,enoughisenough ,and if it happens enough the cult could just keep rolling along but this time going underground .

Jehovah`s Witnesses don`t have a clergy class until they are in a court of law and asked a question they don`t want to answer and then they, all of a sudden claim clergy privilege.?
You can`t make this stuff up
