Jesus will expose those fakers on the GB at the appointed time, and everyone will know they are not really "Jehovah's Witnesses".

None of the GB are said to be "paid" or "hired" either, but sometimes "payment" comes in different ways.

Massimo Introvigne is a liar.

His article says:

"It is factually false that the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not inform secular authorities of believable reports of sexual abuse their elders have received, or worse, vengefully disfellowship victim of sexual abuse, or those who report incidents of sexual abuse to secular authorities. All manuals of instructions for Jehovah’s Witnesses elders clearly mandate that the laws of the land should be obeyed when they require that cases of sexual abuse should be reported to the secular authorities. In fact, even if there is no legal duty to report, congregation elders are instructed to report the matter if a minor is still in danger of abuse."

I am a victim of abuse in the congregation. The other elders covered for the elder and used every trick they could think of in order to cover for him. They broke their own rules recorded in the "Shepherd the Flock of God" book and they broke the clear commands of Jesus as recorded in the Bible.

The elders told me they weren't obliged to deal with the COBE until I talked to him first in harmony with Matthew 18.

When I called/wrote to the COBE to talk to him about the allegations, he wouldn't answer, so the elders said they didn't have to do the second part of Matthew 18.

Finally when COVID was fizzling down and meetings were going back in person, I told the elders I would speak with that COBE either before or after meeting at the KH so we could proceed with the next step. They went and got a trespassing ban so I couldn't go to the KH even though I never ever have disrupted a meeting in my life.

I was the one who got disfellowshipped when I warned the rest of the congregation via email of what was going on. I was accused of "reviling and causing divisions."

Eventually the elder I reported stepped down as HLC and COBE.

I am officially banned from meetings and conventions now because I went to the convention and still talked to my "friends" since I won't support the antichrist disfellowshipping doctrine.

Incidentally, over the course of several years I wrote to Bethel more times than I could count for "help" with the situation. No response until after I was disfellowshipped. Then Mark Sanderson sent back one of my letters with a big red stamp on it: "REJECTED".

Those men at Bethel are "paying" Massimo Introvigne with the same kind of "payment" they crave, worshipful esteem that belongs to God. They will "pay" anyone who does an act of worship to them, just like their god, their father the Devil.

"Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

Vander, I know you love God and Jesus. The GB has muddied the waters by focusing on technicalities rather than obedience. The GB continues to mislead the flock, and it makes me angry that they claim to represent Jehovah and Jesus all the while they are clearly disobeying basic Bible commands. If they were really faithful and discreet and slaving for Christ and directed by holy spirit, they would know better. They have brought so much reproach on God's name by all their scripture twisting. He will clear up the matter eventually in time.

Luke 23:43 the NWT

by Ade in

luke 23:43 - and jesus said to him, "positively i say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.

nwt places comma here , giving a totally different meaning to the verse.

now the average jw uses this to back their doctrine and it seems in itself virtually impossible to reason with them on it.

"But when the army officer and those with him keeping watch over Jesus saw the earthquake and the things happening, they grew very much afraid and said: “Certainly this was God’s Son.”"

If Jesus went to some happy figurative spiritual paradise right when he died, then why did God cause the heavens to darken and the earth to quake in a fear inspiring way so that even the soldiers knew God was upset?

Jesus didn't go to paradise when he died. Nobody is in paradise right now. Paradise is currently closed, but it will be open again eventually. Jesus said so.

"Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise."

"Milk is not blood, but a mother's milk contains millions of white blood cells none the less."

If the white cells in milk are the same as the ones in blood, then maybe someone should tell the medical people so they can harvest white cells for transfusion from milk instead of blood.

"Do you think if Paul were invited alone to the home of a pagan who was known to buy unbled meat from the shambles, that he would ask questions of conscience?"

I think Paul knew the difference between obedience and disobedience. I am confident that he would answer appropriately.

"So what about organ transplants? Would God be against a Christian having a kidney transplant from a family member to save his or her life?"

"Keep yourself from what is strangled, and from blood." If you consider the cells in milk to be blood and the cells in an organ to be blood, it seems you already have an opinion on the matter. Why are you asking me?

But as far as the Bible goes, you already know...

Acts 15 wasn't originally written in English. The word "blood" in Greek didn't mean milk or a portion of milk. It didn't mean an organ that had been properly bled. The Jews had been eating animal organs with God's permission for a long time. The first century Christians knew what blood was. They knew what it meant to abstain from blood and things strangled.

If you have a cup of blood and take a drop out of it and put it in your mouth, you are not obeying the clear command to abstain from blood. If you have an organ with congealed blood in it and put it in your body, you are not obeying the clear command to abstain from things strangled and from blood.

If you drink milk, you are not disobeying the command to abstain from blood.

If you put an organ in your body that has been properly bled, you are not disobeying the command to abstain from things strangled and from blood.

"For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!"

Do you believe that Jesus is the head of the congregation and pours out the holy spirit to direct his congregation? Do you believe that we must obey Jesus' direction in order to be pleasing to God?

@Vanderhoven7, I know you believe.🙂💖

The dietary rules found in Acts 15 were temporary and designed to facilitate fellowship between Jewish and Gentile Christians.

Were the immorality rules at Acts 15 temporary and designed to facilitate fellowship between Jewish and Gentile Christians?

Were the idolatry rules at Acts 15 temporary and designed to facilitate fellowship between Jewish and Gentile Christians?

The purpose of the decree recorded at Acts 15 wasn't "to facilitate fellowship." A rave facilitates fellowship, but that doesn't mean it's approved by God.

The purpose of the decree recorded in Acts 15 was not to "facilitate fellowship". It was to glorify Jehovah with clean worship.

I believe what is written in God's Word:

"Jehovah God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. And Jehovah God built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman..."

I know God transplanted Adam's rib to Eve.

I also know that milk is not blood. I have a university degree, but I don't need a university degree to know that milk is not blood. I have breast fed my children, and I have raised livestock that feed milk to their young. Milk is not blood.

There are water molecules in many of the products at the grocery store. Milk has water molecules. So does Windex. So does toothpaste. If I tell my kids to not eat household cleaners, they know I am not talking about water molecules. They know they can still drink milk even though milk has water molecules and Windex has water molecules.

Jesus said even a kid could understand the truth. It's not complicated.

If you put a cup of milk in front of a kid and a cup of blood in front of a kid and tell them they can drink the milk and but they need to dump the blood, they will know what to do. It's not complicated.

Dubtown (kevin McFree) - A JW Parody on Youtube done with Legos

by Acluetofindtheuser in

has anyone ever come across the youtube channel that uses legos through stop motion animation to make fun of the witnesses?.

it's called dubtown but the channel is under the name kevin mcfree.

the creator sounds british.

EasyPrompt

I agree with you. I hate the WTBT$ misapplication of the phrase "wait on Jehovah" as if that implies not doing anything. What about that other phrase "give Jehovah something to bless"? Kevin gave Jehovah something to bless.

David only needed one small stone to take out Goliath. David didn't walk away. Neither did "Kevin McFree".

"Kevin McFree" was standing up for truth, and Jehovah is the God of Truth. The wicked judges in the borg may have judged Kevin harshly, but at the end of the day Jehovah saw that Kevin be vindicated by a different court.

It's awesome that he won, but we have to remember that sometimes we don't win the first round of a "battle". Winning or losing right away isn't necessarily evidence of God's favor or disfavor.

Jesus "lost" his first case against the Sanhedrin, but in the future hearing he will be the judge.

The WTBT$ lawyers have had lots of different kinds of cases. They are not all the same.

Is it good to help prisoners of conscience? Yeah.

Is it good to defend freedom of speech? Yeah.

Is it good to hide child sexual abuse? No.

Is it good to lie under oath and defend slanderers? No.

The God of justice will make sure all the phony WTBT$ lawyers and other fakers at Bethel are completely exposed. Those ones who are reproaching God's Name by attempting to crush victims of abuse and defend an antichrist institution supposedly "in God's Name" - Jehovah won't let them do that forever. We can have a part with Him in exposing the lies when we are willing to stand up and tell the truth, like David, and Kevin. Jehovah is the God of Truth. Just because a faker wears the label "Jehovah's Witnesses" doesn't mean they represent Jehovah or truth. On the other hand, a person doesn't need the label "Jehovah's Witness" to be a real witness of Jehovah the God of Truth. The awesome lawyer in the ARC who grilled Geoffrey Jackson, that lawyer was a real witness of Jehovah the God of Truth. Geoffrey Jackson, supposedly "Guardian of the Doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses" was shown to be a fraud.

Esther, Mordecai, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah and others, they worked with the governmental leaders of their day in order to help people and it wasn't "being part of the world". They were faithful examples for us to imitate.

@Desirousofchange, you said: "Today, it would appear they cannot win a case, even if the decision costs them MILLION$.

Ever wonder what that is "evidence" of?"

No, I don't wonder - I know what it's evidence of. Jehovah is about to let the WTBT$ institution, along with all other religious institutions, be completely destroyed. The governments are going to completely strip them of all their real estate, holdings, financial stuff, prominence, titles, etc. Religious fakers will be completely exposed. We can share in exposing them when we keep telling the truth, whether it be to the media, the government leaders, on the internet, whereever. The time is near for the Watchtower to be torn down, with Jehovah's blessing. Jesus hasn't changed how he views religious hypocrites.

"...and they will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not discern the time of your being inspected.” Then he entered the temple and started to throw out those who were selling, saying to them: “It is written, ‘My house will be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers.”"

Everyone will see the evidence that the WTBT$ has Jehovah's disfavor.
