Hidden Spaces

by mann377 in

well my son (he's pimi) came to me the other day and asked if i could make a bookcase with hidden spaces built into it.

i asked him what for?

he said that they were encouraged to start thinking of and preparing for persecution and hide literature.

I wonder what will be the first choice of publications to stash, the bible? I think not.

Good point blondie, shouldn`t the only piece of literature they need, be the Bible ? Jehovah`s word is supposed to be infallible ,whereas the GB members have admitted they are not infallible they make mistakes and they are not inspired .

So why the need to stash and hide their literature above the Bible ?

Its statements like this OP that convinces me that the GB/WT know full well their is no GOD and they are religious charlatans exploiting the gullible for their own advantage.

Introducing myself

by Leopold theseconed in

i have been introduced to this site by my new friends that are helping me navigate through the reality of waking up and finding out that i have been lied to my whole life.

i grew up in the truth and have given over thirty years to this organization and the few years i wasn’t there my mind was certainly trapped.

the more i think about it i am really not that surprised there was a lot along the way that should have woken me up but it took till recently.

Welcome leopold .... it took me 33 years before I woke up and their are some on this board who took longer to wake up .So don`t beat yourself up about that .

At least WE did wake up to the bullshit.

Take care buddy .

Who Really Controls the Governing Body

by LevelThePlayingField in

since we neither can handle a challenge to god's power nor change the actual processes he has in place for the salvation of men, we will influence the men at our disposal.

we will use these men to formulate a religion and establish doctrines that heap reproach and shame to the very processes god has in place for salvation.

we'll establish our own process.. we’ll inspire men to change the bible and make it their own bible.

smiddy3

Their is no GOD and their is no DEVIL ,so what it comes down to is its human beings who see religion as a money making enterprise that they can exploit to their own advantage .

It's time

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

we got a call from close jw family, that it is now time to visit the kingdom hall again because armagedon is a question of a few months.

now it will happen in a very close time, the brothers say so, was the message.. i had earlier the feeling that jw's think the time has arrived because what they say and what they do, work like mad men with their chart every weekend.. so the expetations are high.. gorby's wife replied "how do you know, you should not know day and hour".

stay alert was the reaction.. so sad and so stupid.. g. .

You really have to wonder about the intelligence /IQ level of those that have been in the religion for decades and still believe in this religion.?

my mind boggles

Governing Body of JW's - Bare-faced LIARS!

by The Fall Guy in

w11 8/15 p. 22 questions from readers - “we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.

the governing body does not keep a list of all partakers.. see this - s-21-e congregation's publisher record (2018-12).pdf

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6255453529964544/2019-elders-manual-whole-lot-more.

smiddy3

So in light of what has been advanced before us in previous posts are the GB of Jehovah`s Witnesses bare faced LIARS ? as the OP suggests ?

Or are we mis-interpretating it ?

Or do they get out of jail free card .?

"No more than 40 years"

by dynamiterose77 in

in another corner of the internet someone stated that witnesses are proclaiming that this system will be no more than 40 years now... that "gog of magog" will start the great tribulation.

can anyone confirm this latest "prediction"?.

smiddy3

Maybe the GB /JW`s don`t commit themselves to explicitly saying a specific date ,but they sure as hell have implied many dates , many times in their publications ,special talks ,etc,etc.

What happened to the statement "This system of things can`t last any more than 5 years now things are so bad in the world" which I first heard when I converted in 1960 .

What a dickhead I am/was for staying in for 33 years and subjecting my family in it.

"Romans" added to NWT Study Bible, and one omission.

by Wonderment in

rom.

14:1 says: "welcome the man having weaknesses in his faith, but do not pass judgment on differing opinions.

" (italics added.).

smiddy3

These declarations make us wonder how the Society can reconcile their controlling and judgmental attitude and policies toward the brotherhood with those expressed statements above. What do you say?

I say, I can`t see how the WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witnesses can justify anything they teach on any level when you compare what the Bible actually says about any subject and the interpretations the GB members through the WT publications demand their followers to adhere to or face a Judicial inquiry or be DF for not obeying the directions of the GB, who admit they make mistakes and are not inspired ?

Without ever apologizing ever for mistakes they don`t admit to ever making .
