  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  The local witness overhere have absolute no idea what 607 is.

  There is no knowledge of this kind of doctrine. They live their live, visit the congregation but don"t study anymore.

  So, 607 has for the Western world jw's no relevance.

  The epicenter of Friday’s metro-area quake was around Watchtower's former Mountain Farm in Lebanon, NJ

  'the epicenter of friday’s metro-area quake was around the sleepy, tiny, agricultural town of lebanon, nj — where the temblor sent residents running home from work to check their houses and loved ones.. the us geological survey confirmed that the rare historic 4.8 earthquake struck around 10.23 a.m. near the small borough in hunterdon county — just a stone’s throw from donald trump’s national golf club in bedminster, where a 2.0 magnitude aftershock was felt shortly after.. the incident caused buildings to shake everywhere from the big apple to pennsylvania, connecticut and delaware.. “i was working from my home office in town, and everything started falling off the shelves,” lebanon mayor james pittinger told the post.

  “i felt a shake like i’ve never felt in the 30 years i’ve lived here.. “it was one of the craziest things i’ve ever experienced.”.

  Are JWs becoming more militant?

  by Vidqun in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after their courtcase in norway going wrong, splane actually warns lawmakers that they will be in big trouble if they don't change their ways.

  he's referring to the preaching work, which has nothing to do with the case.

  it's all about their treatment of ex-jws.

  Prediction: I think the Blood Policy is about to change.

  by underground in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’d like to start out by saying this is my opinion.. i believe that the organisation is about to make blood transfusions in any form a conscience matter.. they will still ban the eating of blood.. they will gaslight everyone by talking about how it is so much safer now.

  and will say something along the lines of how our stance protected us from the aids crisis etc.. and i believe this change is going to happen before the annual meeting 2024.. i think the annual meeting will announce they are scrapping the midweek meeting and instead we get to watch a streamed talk at home through a revamped website similar to the way netflix works.. obviously take my opinion with a hefty pinch of salt..

  Update changes well received

  a few weeks later, the witness that i speak, family and friends are very happy with the recent changes .. no one mentions the df aproach change, fieldservice report and free entrance to the paradise for non jw.. only the clothing style and beard are mentioned.. the sisters are all in a halaluja happy modes.

  they are feeling being respected and heard by the lovely leadership.. one brother told me he will never grow a beard because he lost his elder status in the early 90's because of his beard.

  now it's allowed i will not grow a beard he sweared.. it seems jw.org has down a great change job.

  Is the Governing Body Apostate?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mark jones writes:.

  actually, it was “love for jehovah” and a desire to “remain loyal to him” that made me leave the jehovah’s witness “religion”.. gradually, it became very clear to me that the organization does not represent jehovah.

  if anything, it had become apostate.

  I heard the story that a brother overhere in the 70's DF'ed the Governing Body.

  The result of that was an open door...

  The Memorial and my thoughts.

  by Truth and Justice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no matter what opinions you may have, the memorial is very important to us.

  many are opposed to the way the organization performs the memorial because of restrictive rules as to who should partake.

  as jesus said in scripture, "keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

  Thanks all for the reactions. We came into the hall with a friendly smile and left with questions and some disapointment. Was this the religion of our youth?!?

  We, a PoMo family, have peace of mind, joy and hapiness. Our children are happy, friendly, logical and such a great open mind characters. My wife and I have the friendly smile and peace in mind. We don't have the rules and regulations. And the changes about field service, beards, clothing style and DF had no impact on us. Jo Publisher and his family seems realy depressed. The Caleb and Sophie's seems not happy anymore. Remember the saying that people outside the organization live in "a mist". I think the mist clouds are in the hall now.

  It's not about 1, 2 or 3 meetings today. The flock lost the joy, and a beard and pants will not change it.
