  the july 2025 watchtower has a paragraph that claims that it was the superior power and wisdom of jehovah that guided the gb into allowing jws to grow beards.. the study article is ‘can you still learn from basic bible teachings?’ under the subheading ‘jehovah is the creator’ paragraph 7 states-.

  “ 7. what did rahela do to accept a change in direction?.

  Can someone remind me the reason's you could be disfellowshipped?

  the only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.

  there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.

  i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

  Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.

  usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.

  this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.

  for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

  Why is there nothing known about the Jehovah’s Witness brother WOLFGANG OTT which raped 6 women in Austria and killed 4 of them?

  by Sektenkult in

  2. scandals

  the wikipedia has not even his date of birth, photos unavailable.

  only the places where he rapped and murdert are known nothing else.

  normally when somebody like him kills and murders everything gets public, which school was he, what was kn his mind and so on and so on.

  asking jehovah’s witnesses to interpret specific passages is a great way to demonstrate their interpretive abuse.

  blood donor james harrison has died aged 88 in australia (17th feb) has saved the lives of over 2 million babies.

  after receiving a huge blood transfusion during heart surgery aged 14, he vowed to become a donor at 18. he held the record for the most blood plasma donated until recently, donating every two weeks from the age of 18. his blood produced anti d used to produce jabs that protect unborn babies from hemolytic disease of the foetus & newborn (hdfn).

  this occurs in pregnancy when a mothers red blood cells are incompatible with her babys.

  New GB member Judy Jedele critizing Job's "humility" while wearing $20,000 Rolex, gold cuff links, coloured suit. Incredible!

  i swear, you can't make this shit up!

  for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.

  " of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

  When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...

  by Ron.W. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.

  it's been around as long as i can remember.

  is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

  The Greeks had a word for it, but the Watchtower didn't

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall as though it was only 60 years ago, sitting in the kingdom hall on those horrible chairs, learning of the four forms of love: agape, philia, storge and eros.. the watchtower never mentioned pragma.. pragma: this is a committed, compassionate love that often grows as two partners continue to cherish and care for each other.

  this type of love is associated with being together for a long time.

  in some cases, the passion of eros can grow into pragma over time, this forging a lasting bond.. i think i know why; the watchtower isn't into committed, compassionate, cherishing and caring, are they?.
