  This case reminds me chillingly of Gary Breaux's 'Pillowgate' talk.

  you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!

  the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

  Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that Mark Sanderson didn't mention the 'faithful and discreet slave' at all in his talk, instead it was all 'the governing body has decided'..?

  If that's so, I have some ideas what it's the start of laying the foundations for.

  Jehovah's Witness Governing Body, (New Light Division) Are Vegetable Oils not more important than Beards?

  'use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,'.

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101997444?q=vegetable+oil&p=par.

  'when possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.'.

  I reckon Mark Sanderson is one of the 'apex predators' of the 'food pyramid'.

  Drink up your corn syrup and one day you, too, could look like that.

  VAT4956 - 530 BC destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar

  by jwposter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my studies, i have concluded that year 530 bc was when the destruction of jerusalem occurred and the temple destroyed.

  i had determined this prior to investigation of vat4956.

  i had already found that the jubilees, sabbaticals, courses of the priests, and chronology attested to this.

  The mathematics should be presented in pyramid inches to give a true picture of the worth of this theory.

  The faecal smell syndrome may be something called Intestinal metabolic bromhidrosis syndrome (IMBS)

  I went to school with a boy who may have had this; he certainly had a pretty foul stench for which no explanation was ever forthcoming.Poor guy!

  The First Holocaust

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please, please ignore all the scientific impossibilities here, that's not what this topic is about.. let's make the assumption as many christians do that the bible is historically accurate.

  the noachian flood actually happened a little less than 4,500 years ago after which eight adults stepped off the ark to repopulate the planet.. that means that approximately 60 million lives had been snuffed out, a holocaust by anyone's estimation.

  as if that isn't horrific enough just think about the babies, toddlers and young children god killed.. he drowned all of them, every single one.

  I think the answer to those who would take Genesis literally, and then raise questions about God's motives or judgement, is found in Job 38:4, words to the effect that maybe the Almighty God of the universe knows more about it than you.

  Governing Body Culpability

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i've seen people say something along the lines that the authorities would like to/have been trying to subpoena (members of) the gb (in csa cases).

  my question is: why don't they?

  if the gb are issuing orders to cover up evidence in csa cases, and otherwise interfere in justice being served in those cases, then they are accessories before (and after) the fact, and theoretically can be arrested and charged as such.

  This is arguably why Jehovah's organisation is such a tangle of legal entities.

  Jesus: Be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves
  Watchtower: We need to be as slippery as eels.

  Jesus: There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed
  Watchtower: We need to buy a shredder. A cross-cut one.
