so this is from the brand new watchtower study edition of june 2025 which has just been posted on jw.org .under the title: modestly accept what you do not know, a let’s read paragraphs in question 4 &5: “read matthew 24:36. we do not know when the end of this system of things will come.
even jesus, while on earth, did not know the ‘day and hour.’ he later told the apostles that jehovah, who is the great timekeeper, keeps the timing of certain events ‘in his own jurisdiction,’ or authority.
i’m still an elder and i consider myself jw light.
as my fellow elders are.
we don’t throw our weight around like elders used to in the past, it’s all very easy going these days.
@elderberry what is your limit what you can stomage all of that bizar comments, not educated cleaners tell you what to do and think and think not?
All those fake smiles? Happy families with behind the door problems? Looking arround you in the hall and thinking what am I doing here?!?

I could never be inside the organization because of the social aspect only.
There was a moment I couldn't hear all the fake and bullshit from the platform anymore. Every idiot there could make stupid statements and making answers without arguments.
So for my health I chose POMO.
Better then ever!

( human beans ).
to those of you that believe in god: do you all believe the same thing ?.
Nothing will be done without energy.
So the higher powers in heaven consume a lot of it.

the verdict is out.
after full understanding and decision by the state administrator, full confirmation in the appeal case by the ministry of children and family affairs, three victories in the injunction case, a full victory in the district court, we now faced a loss in the court of appeal.
So, Watchtower made the removed rule easy for nothing.

during my jw.org lifetime since 1970 (2008 we faded out of it all) i read and heared a lot of the king of the north and the south.. but about an aliance between the two kings, that was not a jw.org scenario, wasn't it?.

Thx, great reactions.
I stopped with this history nonsense because of the Daniel and Isiah bookstudy.
It seeked the writere used to smoke pot for inspiration.

2025-s-147-announcements english-memorial and memorial campaign.
( i am still waiting to receive it in other languages.

The Campaign was a thing nobody cared about here.
A useless something from the past.

i've just remembered that i attended a hall where one of the brothers consistently quoted daily mail articles to back up his answers during the meetings.
i found it hard to keep a straight face when the inevitable daily mail article was quoted to 'prove' a bible passage at each meeting.. no one really seemed to mind and i remember one time i spoke to an elder and said this has to stop as he is passing off tabloid tattle as hard fact.. elder wasn't interested.
i guess as long as the answers backed up the party line no one cared..
I quoted church bisshops in a positive way in my parts at the midweek meetings in the 90's.

the new watchtower study edition is out and i have a bone to pick with the watchtower with paragraph 14 from study article 14. there we read: "we want to help clear jehovah’s name of all reproach.
consider this scenario: you have a close friend who is kind, generous, and forgiving.
The Beards and pants sect still creates it's enemies to keep their people inside.
They will NEVER change.
