Yes indeed, all the congregations I looked up now show 'removed charity', and the Registration History of a couple of them (likely to be representative of all, I guess) shows this:

04 March 2022: Removed (Amalgamated)
04 March 2022: Funds transferred to 275946 THE KINGDOM HALL TRUST

Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?

by Kosonen in

jw
friends

there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

.

the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

I was just thinking how ironic it would be for an Iraq-style 'Oil for Food' program to be imposed on Russia by the UN. If, that is, we survive that far ahead.

Watchtower says you can be Disfellowshiped for being Fat!

by Witness 007 in

watchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?

is he grossly overweight gorging himself?

does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".

There are eight fat old guys who are exempt from this.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

by GoverningBody in

this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

"bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

If their website has a FAQ section that needs to include the question of whether it's a cult or not, that's telling.

In the answer, I recall they state that a cult has one leader, and that proves they aren't one, end of story, checkmate apostates. Surely the 'composite slave' meets that definition, or if not them, then Jehovah, acting through his Spirit-directed organisation?

Jay the unfunny Comedian is calling everyone who disagrees with him racist now

by Diogenesister in

just some screenshots of his twitter.

these are absurd reaches.

at this point it's just a risk communicating with him at all.. .

I hope Jay has already realised how silly he was being.

If he wants to be a comedian, he should try not to be a laughing stock.

This talk of legal action reminded me of Lloyd's opinion in the case of 'watchtower vs Faithleaks':
