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

JWs don't consider older WT as revelant
by enoughisenough ini 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.

AI on Biblical Sheep
by Vanderhoven7 inmy son sean, who is a pastor, decided to ask ai.. "who does the bible consider sheep and how does an individual become a sheep?".
turns out that wt non-leaders should consult ai instead of relying on their writing department.. ai writes:.
"in the bible, sheep are often used as a metaphor for followers of god or believers.

Who is AI ? I`m sorry I thought AI was Artificial Intelligence ? And if so ,why would you trust AI ? for your answers ?
And not your own thought out reasoning ?

New Convention Song “ It Will Not Be Late”
by BluesBrother inthis made me chuckle.
a new song that they are encouraged to practice for the convention.. “ we know your day will come, sure as the rising sun.
no matter how long it takes , it will not be late” …………... it is based on habakkuk 2 , we discussed this in depth around 1973/1974.

"do not forget that the timescale predictions have come from the human reasoning of the Watchtower Society and not from God himself"…
And yet God himself / herself has kept silent all these years and continues to do so , more than 2,000 years and counting.

Miserable week ahead for witness kids in England-The Coronation
by Mit123 ini feel sorry for witness kids this week.
schools going crazy with the coronation in england.
witness won’t be allowed to participate in a harmless tradition that whatever you think of the monarchy will be a lot of fun..

It`s just another way the GB /JW Org. alienates their young / potential MS servant / Elders ,pioneers etc,etc,
Well maybe that`s not such a bad thing .

All the Old JW Acquaintances Passing Away
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, my dad told me an older sister passed away.
she wasn't too old (in her 60s), but i knew her 30 years ago and haven't seen her in 15 years; the main reason being that i faded 10 years ago.. yesterday, i seriously considered attending the funeral and catch-up with old jws i used to know.
after thinking it over, i decided against it.

This is a good topic.
I have been out for many, many years ,and I still find myself reluctant to identify myself as a former JW with the many circle of friends I now have with the two clubs I frequent each week.
I have often thought about it but the subject of religion has just not come up.......... yet.
I think it would be very interesting as to their response / attitude to this revelation, as I have been out / in this community for the past 30 odd years .
I do not believe i have a problem with identifying myself as a former JW ,it`s just the fact that the opportunity has never arisen.
Religion is not a preferred subject of my associates .

One thing that J.F.Rutherford said, that is fact .
"Religion is a Snare and a Racket "
Jumping from the pot into the frying pan does not solve anything, it`s still just wishful thinking.

Charles the Third and the Two-Headed Beast
by Anony Mous ini was reading an article about the pomp and circumstance around the first coronation in nearly a century.. made me think of the revelation book (the red one, not the bible) and the picture of the two headed beast with a sword and if i have some time today i will see if i can’t find it and age it a bit, it seems the sword is a bit dull and the two heads are now both octogenarians with severe dementia, kind of funny to see that instead of “swift judgment” we’ve come to internal decay.. what do you canadians, english, scots, irish and australians think about your new leadership?.

I thought Charles dumping Dianna for Camilla ,would have been the end of him and here he is King ? The sooner Australia becomes a Republic the better ? Or at least dump the monarchy.
