Rattigan, if you truly believe that Jesus Christ in Heaven, has anything to do with the JW religion, then you have no business being on this forum. Jesus Christ would NEVER endorse a false religion AKA cult.
All hail the governing body!
fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?
yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.
br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.

on a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.
he simply stated that jw is tolerated by the church but that really not much thought is given to them.
is there an official stance on jw by the catholics?
Halcon, I think a JW baptism is “ In the Name of the Father, Son, and Spirit Directed Organization “.
Now what, you know that Jehoopla reveals truth to his chosen people slowly, and often in a zig zag fashion. The Bible says so! 😂😂😂
i am watching the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of ve day.
80 years since the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. i find the interviews of the stalwart men and women who played their part very moving.
these veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside.
Overlapping! 😂😂😂
i finally got my own copy of the new song book in english.
i notice that the lyrics in one of the songs have been changed from:.
fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.
I remember that song. I asked my parents if we SHOULD fear those who kill the body, because we have no soul? In their teachings. That is one of those (many) times that I was warned not to “think too much” because I will “think myself right out of the truth”.
it’s now official - the governing body members are called for legal deposition in a major court case against jehovah’s witnesses!
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ke6cgh/its_now_official_the_governing_body_members_are/.
recent court documents show that members of the jehovah’s witnesses governing body — including former member tony morris — have been officially subpoenaed to give sworn testimony regarding cases of sexual abuse in new york and how the organization dealt with (or essentially hid) them.
Get your popcorn ready!
when i was growing up i remember many young people interviewed on the platform at assemblies.
the ones who really stood out are the talented ones who gave up amazing lives to pioneer.. i remember specifically when i was a boy in the 70s and 80s some who were very good at sport or something.
their teachers begged them to get professional training use their talents to the full.
Hoser, you are right, but how many, who made the choice to forego college, sports, or other opportunities, instead of slaving for WT for free, regret it now? And, who knows, maybe that person could have been another Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, or cured cancer? We will never know.
has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.
does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?
at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..
They really don’t want Bible readers, they want people to just listen and obey, and give us all your time and money. This “Bible based” organization is anything but.
how many of you here remember 1975?
i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.
those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.
Yes, I remember thinking that I would be killed in Armageddon because “Jehovah reads hearts”, so of course, he would read mine, and, knowing I hated being a JW, would kill me. What a way to grow up. Btw, I have that book, Life Everlasting…Freedom…bla bla bla. What a crock of 💩

I turned 16 in 1975, I remember that very well. If I bring up 1975 to my relatives, they gaslight me, telling me that it didn’t happen. I WAS THERE, IT HAPPENED. I remember Sunutko’s talk, “Stay Alive Till ‘75”.
At the district assembly in summer of 1976, Fred Franz came to the convention and pointed his finger at the audience. He said it was OUR FAULT the end didn’t come, because we were expecting it. I remember thinking to myself, You are a f##+ing liar.
