just received this note out of the blue from a pimi jw.
how would you respond?.
hi vander,.
First Off :
War on a large scale.?—Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:4.
Which war is he referring to that is ongoing at this present time? None that I hear of! Do you?
So the first so called prophecy is just not being fulfilled! I do not want to go into the others unless he comes with proof for the first!
Ask him not to just quote scriptures but give evidence through sources in news, or online mags or something.

hey all,.
i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.
i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.
Bumping this up, Please Snare, an update would be nice. Hope you are doing ok.All my thoughts and very best wishes coming your way!

i am curious can a single jw sister get a breast augmentation?
will the elders disfellowship her?
will jehovah be angry with her or upset?
Can single sisters get Breast Augmentation?
Why are married sisters excluded? Is there anything against them getting this done??

do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?
as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

Jdumbs in russia suffering / persecuted for not following governmental authorities to stop preaching and meetings.They cant compromise..Gibbering buffoons say obey god as ruler rather than men!
Due to the covid..Guffawing Babboons say obey the authorities and stop preaching; n meeting in halls!
Surprise surprise bad intent.This is blatantly double standards.This virus season they forgo tabout obeying god as ruler rather than men!
If they can zroom their blasted meetings, write letters, make phone calls on return visits for field circus then why was it/is it not appropriate or acceptable for the russian jdumbs to do the same instead of putting their lives, jobs at risk.
Pimping martyrdom syndrome!

Can all Explain what you understand from this verse/how it does or does not connect with the ministry that Jdumbs do? Bad intent or not you decide but I say inorder to keep them running on the hamster wheel, they have manipulated this verse.
"Let us hold fast the public declaration" - Hebrews 10:23a NWT means "go door to door"
Click the asterisk next to this term public declaration and, you'll find "public declaration" is "confession"
So what is meant by confession? Is it as suggested the public ministry of Jehovah's Witnesses?

background info: although i'm an apostate, i don't hate jehovah's witnesses, or the organization itself.
actually i find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased.
i think most of them are amazing people, and i wish more non-witnesses were like them.
They exhort all religions to examine their religion.The only religion exempt from this admonition is the Jdumb themselves.
W 1963, Nov 15 stated: it is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and to show that another religion is false. It is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.
But if anyone utters even a word against their religion/ even questions/ doubts anything - be it to understand or learn or catch them out in their own lies or wrongs; they shout persecution, propaganda, satans lies, apostates!
This is a religion that scares easily.
Truth stands upto scrutiny!

@Bill Covert: Thank you for sharing your experience. I enjoyed it and found it interesting. I am currently reading a load of stuff from 1930s and jdumbs and find it intriguing, eyeopening .Thank you for sharing.

some people i know have not gone out of their houses in weeks.
some will walk near their homes and run right back in.
meanwhile, i go food shopping and i see tons of people, many with masks and gloves on..
By the way I still am door knocking (just cant give up this jdumb habit) to see if the elderly need anything form the shops. I clean everything that I touch and only then leave it at their doorstep .
