Since his departure, there have been some radical changes in doctrine and policy that I think Tony Morris would never have approved of. He was standing in the way of Jehovah's chariot and got run over, so to speak.

This debunks itself, but I feel that some of the players in this game have their own agendas that this serves. How's that for a conspiracy theory?

Repeated for emphasis: This debunks itself!

Another example is the Hollies' 'The Air that I Breathe', a recognisable chord progression of which turned up as part of Radiohead's 'Creep', followed by Lana del Rey's 'Get Free' which contains pretty much a recognisable everything from 'Creep'. There were quite different attitudes to the accusations of plagiarism by each of the alleged copiers!

dbm writes on the question: will sodomites get a resurrection?.

i guess it depends the date that you asked this question.

Oh no! They took away our fantasy of revenge on the whole world, cheated us of delivering a hard-hitting judgement message, but at least we can still be dogmatic about not being dogmatic!

Brothers, let us all set a half-hourly alarm to remind us to check jw.org before making any statement about anything. Just in case...

"Watchtower" vs Jehovah's Witnesses

by NotFormer in

jw

rattigan350, whenever someone brings up the failings of the organisation we refer to as "the watchtower", tries to define the argument away by saying that the watchtower is a corporate entity and has very little to do with the kingdom halls, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. could someone who knows their stuff please explain if this is a false dichotomy, using the literature which is used by r&f jws, if possible?.

it gets kind of tiresome when someone makes a point about something that the watchtower said and mr. apologist comes along and tries to define away what is usually a very good point..

In other words, any one of the individual heads of this beast can deny responsibility for anything the beast says or does.

Trust Our (Neither Inspired Nor Infallible) Life Saving Direction?

by Ron.W. in

wt 2013 11/15 p. 20. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. wt feb 2017.

"the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

markweatherill

1. The governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

2. When it meets together as the 'faithful slave', it is directed by the Holy Spirit.

3. The Holy Spirit is therefore responsible for errors in doctrinal matters or organisational direction.

as soon as you see steve letts talk at the agm you think to yourself “oh my, what’s happened to him?.

his hand has plasters and his skin doesn’t look healthy, like he has inflammation or something serious going on.. he had put on weight and is all bloated and puffy .

his skin really doesn’t look good, the kind of inflammation many people notice after the experimental covid vaccines.. there have been very high numbers of people reported inflammation after the experimental covid vaccines.

We see here some truly 'special' pioneers! How about a slow handclap for their urgent, life saving message...
