That always bothered me, that they said you can’t get salvation without them. 🖕😡
They replaced Jesus with 8 men in New York.
i am a historian and the period of english history from henry vii to elizabeth i is my specialist area.. i was talking to an ex-jw about the time when tyndale first translated the bible into english with his intention that everyone from the ploughboy upwards would be able to read and understand the scriptures.
it dawned on us both that this was a significant point in english history.. just having access to the bible in hi their own language allowed the common man to understand what god wanted him to understand.. it was and is, so simple.. why then oh why then do jehovah's witnesses think that they need a fds to explain it to them?
when in the 1600s just having a bible written in english was enough for people to understand the word of god?.

"if a person accepts a blood transfusion, the jehovah’s witness elders are required to “investigate” to see if the person is sorry for “cowardly” saving their life.
if the person doesnt beg and grovel to the elders for allowing the doctor to save their life (or that of their child) then the elders can take this as a sign that he/she has disassociated from the congregation - and tell the congregation to start shunning them.. if someone willingly takes blood, perhaps because of being under extreme pressure, the committee should obtain the facts and determine the individual’s attitude.
Paul Blizard, exJW who appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, told how he and his wife decided to let their 6 year old daughter have a blood transfusion, were immediately shunned by the congregation, and they also shunned the 6 year old, who later died. Can’t you just feel the love?
from the faq as captured on the website with this question (how many jehovah's witnesses are there worldwide?
) led to this question of mine who do the organization sees as a jehovah's witness?
the organization answers: .
Yes, they made some announcement about her, not certain if they used the actual word ‘disfellowshipped’, but they made an announcement from the platform that the congregation should shun her as bad association. And she was out, at 15.

So…I guess I was a member since age six, since that’s when I was forced to ‘preach’ and turn in time. And, I never wanted to do it! What a stupid system. I guess that’s why my cousin got disfellowshipped at 15, and was never baptized. Cuz they just felt like it. Poor kid ran away from an abusive home, and they disfellowshipped her for it.
so last night me and hubby got round to watching love actually for the first time .
seemingly everyone says that it's a must see christmas film , people watch it numerous times .
sorry to say l was underwhelmed and won't bother watching it again.
I saw the first Avatar, don’t care to see the second.

published december 22, 2022. the state manager in oslo and viken has decided to withdraw jehovah's witnesses registration as a religious community under the religious society act.. .
we sent a notice to jehovah's witnesses about possible loss of registration on october 25 this year.
Mikeflood, don’t forget, BTG is supposed to turn on FALSE religion first, lol. Irony, much?
for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.
even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.
even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.
LHG, that’s just how I felt, and I was a born in. Felt like leaving a dark place, and also a heavy weight lifted off me. Merry Christmas to you! And everyone else, too! 🎄🎄🎄😀😀😀
