shawn bartlett, the records management overseer for the jehovah’s witnesses, explains the organization’s new record-keeping policies during a 2017 seminar in britain.

This video should be shared by all on this site with whatever social media we use to make as many people as possible aware of how far Watchtower/Jehovah`s Witnesses will go in covering up Child Sexual Abuse in their Organization.

Because that`s what its all about.

Why a Belief or Non Belief in the existence of "A God" or "The God" is Futile {In My Opinion}

by smiddy3 in

because their are so many different god`s worshiped in the world today and none of them have made themselves known to us in this 21st century for all of mankind to see and verify .. all of the gods worshiped today are from hundreds and even thousands of years ago derived from ancient writings and texts in languages that are no longer in use today.. that of course brings up problems of another sort translating an ancient language into its modern day equivalent.. and nobody is in total agreement that such translations are accurate or correct anyway.. and their is no god coming to the rescue of translators to say which is the right interpretation.

they are mute.. i`m not just talking about christianity/ judaism either, the same goes for all non christian religions too.. its a total cop out to say one must have faith to believe in god .

"faith, belief in religious doctrines divine truth without proof" and no verification from any god christian/islam/judaism or otherwise ..

That of course brings up problems of another sort translating an ancient language into its modern day equivalent.

And nobody is in total agreement that such translations are accurate or correct anyway.

Proof of God

by MrDantastic in

i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.

i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

hmu..

MrDantastic started a topic "Proof of God" 6 days ago challenging people `s beliefs one way or another and we haven`t heard a word from him since and yet we have gone 7 pages in discussion .

What should that tell us ?

Jesus tempted by Satan, real or just a vision.

by pleaseresearch in

not with their shunning policy.

me and my brother seldom communicate sadly, but no way would we go anywhere for fear of being seen with an inactive jw for over 10 years.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-simplified-march-2016/questions-from-readers/.

from the website:.

Neil Armstrong standing on the moon and looking back at the earth would not be able to see all the kingdoms of the world

Also for Jesus to be tempted by Satan and Jesus having gone along with him shows that after all these thousands of years since Adam Jesus has never shunned Satan .And obviously neither did Jehovah shun Satan all those years .

So if Jehovah and Jesus never shunned their chief adversary what right do the G.B.of Jehovah`s Witnesses have in instructing their members to shun anybody for any petty or even major reason in their view.?

JWtalk.net is an act of Disobedience

by Londo111 in

the governing body and watchtower publications make clear there is only one official website that jws should go to about their religion.

they do not approve of independent pro-jw forums.

this would also fall in line of there being no independent study groups, on the internet, or elsewhere.. for that matter, they do not approve of jws posting on behalf of their religion on social media, “apostate” websites, or anywhere else on the internet.

The more disobedient Jehovah`s Witnesses their are the better I say their is still hope for them .

Sex and Rockets - Strange Angel CBS series, Charles Taze Russell and Jack Parsons

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i'm watching the cbs series strange angel.

it is based on a true story about jack parsons, who along with others, pioneered rocket development in 1930's america.. "strange angel, a drama series created by mark heyman (black swan, the wrestler) and based on george pendle's book of the same name, explores the dramatic intersection between genius and madness, science and science fiction.. the story follows the life of jack parsons, a mysterious and brilliant man in 1930s los angeles, who by day helps birth the entirely unknown discipline of american rocketry, and by night is a performer of sex magick rituals and a disciple to occultist aleister crowley.".

I would take exception to a couple of statements made in this OP however others might disagree.

Page 9 of this book says this: "Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses

I would argue that C.T.Russell founded the "International Bible Students Association" not the Jehovah`s Witnesses ,C.T. Russell never identified himself as a Jehovah`s Witness .

J.F.Rutherford usurped the followers of Russell after his death and he was the founder of the Jehovah`s Witness religion stating that they would now be identified as Jehovah`s Witnesses.

When Russell announced to his congregation in Brooklyn, New York, that the end had begin, he meant the finale was not an instantaenous end to all things, but rather the beginnign of the end as outlined in the Book of Revelation - the appearance of the Antichrist and the harlot, Babylon the Great, being two of the key events.

I believe that is bullshit ,Russell initially believed that 1914 was the end of the known world and that all the Faithful, his followers would be in heaven by 1918-19

Just my take on what has been presented in the opening OP without looking at the links and I stand to be corrected in what I have stated

And probably in 1919 -20 also Gorby they never look at the big picture do they .

Syria ,Afghanistan ,war zones ,potential hot spots still in places like the South China Seas ,and if they are thinking of Nth and Sth Korea who are they trying to kid ? Even if peace did eventuate their that`s not influencing politics or military threats any where else in the world.
