What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety
by blondie in
1. jw
2. friends
as recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.

do you remember this?

notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

Exclusivity: Jehovah's Witnesses common denominator with other Christian denominations
by Longlivetherenegades in
1. watchtower
2. bible
one thread recently stated, the religious organization of jehovah's witnesses started as a protestant or pentecostal as it were then ended up being roman catholic in their mode of operations.

the evidence of their being exclusive is found in their own publications.... .

obviously, a basis for approved fellowship with jehovah’s witnesses cannot rest merely on a belief in god, in the bible, in jesus christ, and so forth.

The Big Secret

when the gb brought a formal end to all the type/antitypes in so many ways it could be said that they brought the religion to an end.

the other sheep/anointed teaching that leads to a two class religion was originally based on two antitypes--the jehu/jehonadab relationship and something about the cities of refuge.

in that 2014 annual meeting talk david splane even specifically stated that the cities of refuge has no antitype.

"JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????
by BoogerMan in

2. beliefs
the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.

(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

(luke 24:47, 48) .

pp.

14-19 just some quote and a few comments from me, very, very repetitious.

the gb seems to think that the rank and file came up the years 1914, 1925, 1975, generation (70-80 years from 1914=1994), overlapping generations.

study article 27 under the title :"help bible students to take a stand for the truth" paragraph 1 *did you have reservations about becoming one of jehovah’s witnesses?

perhaps you were afraid that your workmates, friends, or family would turn against you.

2. beliefs
the apostles creed could be recited in less than a minute in latin.

it was like an ancient youtube video clip: christianity in less than a minute.

it is very ancient, reaching back to the 200's.
