  It is a good letter, I just skimmed it. However, it will never be read by the ones you want to read it. They don’t care what the rank and file think. Listen, obey, and be blessed. 🙄

  Oh, and prepare for your judicial committee.

  Wing Commander, I completely agree with you. I brought my daughter to church, toddler through teen. She made lifelong friends there, she THRIVED as a teen, involved with projects and mission trips through the church. She helped with Hurricane Katrina cleanup, and helped build an orphanage in Ecuador. She chose a Christian college to attend, married a Christian man. She is a happy Christian, unburdened with the FOG that I had growing up.

  Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

  say it ain’t so!

  .

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

  It’s kind of a shame, but a 53 year old should be able to make their own decisions, even if it results in harm. A child, however, is a different story.

  Is Watchtower totally off base on Armageddon?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to me it is quite evident that the gt spoken about in matthew 24, mark 13 and luke 21 is a one time, non-repeatable localized event resulting in the destruction of jerusalem and the temple followed by the dispersion of surviving jews throughout the nations.. however, what is not so clear to most is that the gt of revelation deals with the same event.

  my understanding is that the gb of jehovah witnesses has no clue as to how to interpret the apocalyptic messages found both in the synoptics and revelation.

  but steve greg has armageddon down pat.

  Beth Sarim, I was with my elder dad when a householder pointed out that scripture that says that every eye would see him. He explained that every eye would see him “with the eye of understanding.” 🤷‍♀️🤔 I knew even as a kid, that that was bull 💩

  Witnesses after Covid shut down are increasing their calls around my neighborhood

  by wozza in

  hi all , i just had another call by a an elderly jw ,let's call him ian.. only about 3 months ago i had a young jw call and trying to talk to him i had to tone it down a bit because he did'nt seem so theocratically bright as he only offered a tract and not much else , and i've had others call since covid.. so it seems around here they are making regular calls but not like back in the day when i used to auxillary pioneer where we would go over this turf every 1 to 3 weeks in the 80's.. but back to my caller ian ,on his own , but out with a group of jw's he was quick to get around the pleasantries and and so i interrupted him tactfully to slow him down.

  started with a bit of my history easing into the fact that i had my first contact with jw's with my soon to be mother-in -law who was an invalided jw ,we had many good talks about her beliefs in the early 70's.. at this point he jumps in and wants to know if i would want a study again because i told him that i once did a study with jw's back.

  i carefully steered him into telling me about those days ,what was he was doing back then.

  The HLC do not pressure JWs

  by usualusername1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the hospital liaison committee (hlc) for jehovah’s witnesses does not pressure members to refuse blood transfusions.

  rather, their role is to support jehovah’s witnesses in adhering to their pre-existing religious beliefs, which include a strict prohibition against accepting blood transfusions based on their interpretation of biblical scriptures.. jehovah’s witnesses are well-informed about their stance on blood from an early age, and refusing blood is a deeply ingrained religious conviction, not something imposed during a medical crisis.

  the hlc’s purpose is to provide assistance in accessing bloodless treatment options, facilitating communication with healthcare providers, and helping ensure that the patient’s choices are respected.. while the hlc strongly supports adherence to the beliefs of jehovah’s witnesses, the ultimate decision remains with the individual.

  So true, Beth, and their own literature condemns them.
