(I thought Abu was just monkeying around.)

Oh, you shared a video. @KalebOutWest, since you have grown up in the Jewish faith and culture and since you know so much about being a Jew and since that is who you are through and through, I thought you might be able to just answer my questions from your heart without sharing a video...

"Does the name "Jew" really come from the name "Judah"? Maybe you can tell me more about what you know about Judah...

When Joseph first prophesied regarding his brothers bowing down before him, Judah did not believe that Joseph was a true prophet. Do you think that later on when Judah bowed to Joseph in Egypt that Judah believed?

What do you think this verse means...

Revelation 3:9

"Look! I will make those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews yet are not, but are lying—look! I will make them come and bow before your feet and make them know that I have loved you.""

AnonyMous said: "the Jews would’ve noted that Jesus was a spiritist or practicing witchcraft/divination as the few times seeing into the future is actually mentioned in the Bible (eg. Solomon consulting with the witch of Endor)"

Um, it was King Saul who went to the witch of Endor, not Solomon.

And as regards Jesus being a prophet, he himself confirmed...

John 4:17-26

"Jesus said to her: “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. This you have said truthfully.”

"The woman said to him: “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”

"Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”

"The woman said to him: “I know that Mes·siʹah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one comes, he will declare all things to us openly.” Jesus said to her: “I am he, the one speaking to you.”"

Jesus did not deny that he was a prophet. If you want to deny it, @AnonyMous, that's between you and him.

Could this be the end of JWs? What are the consequences if it is?

by Teddnzo in

multiple very serious allegations against tony and then huge efforts to remove him from all pictures and videos, have to admit it doesn’t look good.. once the pennsylvania investigation becomes public knowledge and front page news it will be very very hard for 8 million pimis.. is it possible that this could be the largest problem the branch has ever faced?

larger than 1975, the overlapping generations or any other ‘test of faith’.

many will feel heartbroken and betrayed.

The WTBT$ doesn't solely use the funds the way they advertise to the donors. I wonder how at risk they are at losing their tax-exempt non-profit status.

@DesirousOfChange, Yeah, I'm not a troll. I've been hoodwinked many times, and I have been hurt by a lot of pathological liars in the JWBorg, so I am a bit oversensitive if I suspect someone might be trying to pull one over on me. Sometimes I react too "loudly" now as a more recent learned defense mechanism (for a long time I didn't say anything at all, just got steamrolled). I know it's not the best quality, and I am working on it, but I'm slow. I apologize for seeming "troll-like". I don't mean to come across that way.

@Vidiot, thank you.💖

The so-called "FD$" are false prophets, as is described by Jesus in Matthew 7:15 - "Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves."

The fact that there would be "false prophets" implies that there would also be true prophets.

How to Legally Dissolve a Religious Organization

by EasyPrompt in

regarding the state dissolving a church organization.... .

as posted in another thread, here is what is happening in japan, filing a court order to dissolve the unification church.... .

EasyPrompt

God is the Highest Authority. He is the One who invented Legality.

AnonyMous said: "I was just speaking legally, there is nothing wrong, they are not transparent about donations, but they don’t have to be. It doesn’t phase me one bit, because every religious organization does it."

That is exactly why every religious organization is going to be removed. According to God, legally those religious organizations do have to be transparent about the donations, because God set the precedent in the Bible. He is honest. Any organization claiming to represent Him needs to be honest too.

The religious institutions have failed, and they will be dismantled and removed.

Mandated Shunning is a Crime

by Lee Marsh in

mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

EasyPrompt

Shunning in and of itself is a personal decision. The "crime" is that a group of men who fraudulently claim to represent God dictate who is "shun-worthy" to their misinformed followers. The GB of the CCJW do not follow what is written in the scriptures. They do not have authority from God to execute group ostracism judgments that according to the Bible should be personal decisions of individual Christians.

If the corporate structure of the JWBorg was taken down, then the disfellowshipping doctrine of the WTBT$ would end. There would be no centralized structure holding records of disfellowshipped individuals, no Bethel Service Department enforcing and encouraging bans, no Pharisaical writing group making up extra unscriptural rules. The ungodly authoritarian structure behind the enforcement of the disfellowshipping doctrine would be gone. People in local congregations would have to make up their own minds as to who they want to hang out with and who they want to shun independently of any corporate structure, which is the way the Bible is written anyway, with respect for the consciences of individual Christians to make up their own minds on who they will associate with.

The current governments express the desire to protect religious freedoms, not religious frauds. The fraudulence of the WTBT$ claiming to be Christ's judges has gone on long enough.
