So when UK and US worked together during WW2 was not a fulfillment?

Actually didn`t the UK , the US ,and Russia work together during WW2 ? to end the war ?

How does that fit in with JW prophecy ?

if the watchtower think that these are the end times why dont they employ all the people who used to work at bethel to go door to door or go on the cart full time.after all money is no good in paradise .

pepperheart , you have missed the point my friend ,the Watchtower /GB / WTB&TS do not employ anybody at all .

All of Jehovah`s Witnesses from the Governing body members down to the rank & file member /publisher is no more than a volunteer .

Certain members depending on where or how they serve in the organization may earn a stipend however that in no way should imply that they are employees of the said organization .

They are only volunteers. and as such not employees ,legally

And the WTB&TS /JW`s are not employers ,legally.

But that`s how cult religions operate .

And they get away with it legally .

2018 BRANCH ORGANIZATION Manuel Says The members of the Governing Body do not regard themselves as the leaders of Jehovah's people.

by Fabian in

thanks to atlantis, this statement is mentioned on chapter 1 paragraph 1 in the middle.

but i like how the statement says members but the sentence right before has the governing body dudes in a collective whole like voltron here is the paragraph in whole.

1. governing body: the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is made up of brothers who are anointed servants of jehovah god.

In other words they "Are a law unto themselves" and I might add " may even be rejected for reasons known ONLY to the Governing Body "

Zealous much?

by Olig in

evening everyone hope we're all oreyt!

first time posting.... bit of my background i grew up in the wts (still keep on almost calling it the "truth!

" lol) and have been pimo for around 2 years now.

smiddy3

Welcome Olig ,however be careful how much info you divulge about yourself here or anywhere else.You will get so much support on this forum but keep your true identity secret .Just be general about where you are from etc.

As Giordano says their is no need for your sister to rush into baptism because Jehovah knows her heart condition and Jesus didn`t get dunked until he was 30 years old .

Don`t let her get pressure from Elders scaring her with threats of persecution and the end is now so close .

I`m glad to hear you got out at such a young age ,and I wish you all the best ,take care and keep us informed on how you and your sister are going.

I had to laugh at the last 3 sentences Giordano posted ? We do have a sense of humour here LOL

Article-Spain: A judge cites for the first time to declare Jehovah's Witness leaders for a case of sexual abuse

by AndersonsInfo in

https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/vida/juez-cita-primera-vez-lideres-testigos-jehova-abuso-sexual_221160_102.html.

a judge cites for the first time to declare jehovah's witness leaders for a case of sexual abuse.

the justice calls to appear to four elders of the congregation in spain by possible concealment of a crime of rape to a woman when she was 18 years old by her boss.

Thank you Barbara for the link.

I would love to see more Country`s around the world take this stand and prosecute Elders on a JC that never reported child sexual abuse to the appropriate authorities and only handled it in-house and not treating it as a crime.

It would make the Elders more accountable for their actions or rather inaction in dealing with child sexual abuse within the congregations and possibly make the Elders more aware of how the JW Organization leaves Elders out on a limb to take the blame and absolving the organization from any blame.

This case handled correctly could be a real wake up call for many ,I truly hope so .

Remember The Green Song Books

by new boy in

jw
friends

then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .

thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.

i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

smiddy3

I think even Charles Taze Russell would turn over in his grave if he heard those songs sung at meetings.

In fact i think he would be turning over so fast he would be doing cartwheels in his grave .

I agree with what you state john.prestor 100% they, the governing body are religious charlatans

The Governing Body is organized to take the lead as Jehovah directs it by holy spirit.

Then how is it they can never get anything right ?

It either means Jehovah/Holy Spirit is a complete imbecile

or

The Governing Body are outright liars and fraudsters .

Trashy Watchtower Corporation Carts In Public Places, Can Cities Ban them?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

they have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.

have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?

i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.

smiddy3

While the QR codes sound like a great idea ,seriously how many people do you really think stop & take any literature ? I don`t think anybody does nowadays .

Except maybe ex JW`s who throw it away or PIMI JW who wants some freebies .

I just wish their was a cart in my area so I could dump their stuff on a regular basis. I never see one around here .

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.

smiddy3

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

??? What the frigging hell for ? What`s the literature going to do for them ?

How about some literature moments from the past off the top of my head.

Don`t get your child vaccinated

Don`t have children in this system of things as they won`t even get to high school before the big A

" Life everlasting In freedom Of The Son Of God" Six thousand years of human existence in 1975 and it would be appropriate for Christ Jesus to begin his 1000 year reign.

This wicked system of things will end before the end of the 20th Century

Faithful men of old will be resurrected in 1925 such as Abraham Issac and Jacob to be princes in all of the world after the big A

The front page WT edition showing elderly people as the generation that would not pass away before the big A { sad to say they have all passed away }

The generation that witnessed 1914 would not pass away before the end of the system took place ,the Bible gives a generation as no more than 50 years Matt.1 17 ,Luke 3:23-38, Matt.24:34

Example :Abraham 2018 BC ---Jesus 2 BC = 2016 years , 42 generations = 48 years for 1 generation .

That`s 3 witness rules from the Bible ,god`s word according to believers yet the GB/WT comes up with a ludicrous unscriptural overlapping generations excuse to cover up their failed prophecy .

And the gulible have lapped it up.

And their is heaps much more than what my failing memory can recall

Looking at all of these past failures in literature provided by the obviously unfaithful and not so discreet slave class ,how can you trust anything they say ?

So why hide literature that is new light today and old light tomorrow ?What benefit is that to you ?

"They are so keen, they need to be locked up for the first 6 months!"

by stuckinarut2 in

do we all remember that expression when we were jws?.

someone new would "come into the truth", and be so enthusiastic and keen, that we would all joke about "locking them up for the first 6 months because they would preach to everyone".

jws thought that the passion for "learning the truth" was the issue.

smiddy3

What you say is true stuckinarut2 the emotions can sometimes get the better of us.
