A prophet means someone who speaks for God. Many mistake that for foretelling the future. But their speaking for God was by means of using the Bible. The apostle Paul was not one who foretold the future, he used the past and that was his means of speaking for God.

The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet
by The Quiet One inregarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.
but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.
that would clearly have been a mistake.

The 15 minute thing with approval was so stupid. What is to stop anyone from counting 15 as an hour? We all would round up anyway. And this You need permission to Aux pioneer, is stupid. Why? We stopped getting free magazines in 1989 so what benefits are there from Aux pioneering?

What’s Wrong With President Biden?
by minimus ini just watched excerpts from his cnn town hall event and something is seriously wrong with him.
he can’t put together a sentence without getting lost, tripping on his own words, forgetting what he is talking about.……this is embarrassing.
and it’s not because he has a stutter!

While Brother Breaux was going to an extreme with his view, he was correct in not relying on guns for protection. The Brother in the video was just waving a gun. He didn't have the conviction to use it. That would be the most dangerous to himself or his family. When a person has a gun, s/he has to be prepared to use it without hesitation. No JW would would have such preparation. They would hurt themselves or others or have it stolen or taken away.
Using a gun for self defense and then killing someone is not blood guilty, there is an affirmative defense for that.
Wisdom can find ways to protection without a gun. Macgyver didn't use guns, because brains are better.

In the talk he said to rely on wisdom and not weapons. But it is wisdom to rely on weapons. A weapon is a tool and you need the best tools to do the job when not having tools won't do it.

Leaked David Spane Apostate Rant? (Upcoming Lloyd Evans Video)
by Jofi_Wofo inlloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.
does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.
i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..

I say that Lloyd Evans is the one with the rant. It is a 2 hour and 44 minute video in response to next week's convention talk. Evans just wants to hear himself.

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.
by pistolpete inso in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.
he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.
he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

This is not a video rant. It was the early convention video leaked. It appears to be from Saturday afternoon on the convention
4:20 “Put Up a Hard Fight for the Faith”!
(Jude 3; Proverbs 14:15; Romans 16:17)

The problem I find with this and everyone seems to be ignoring is: If they say that criticisms against the organization is bad, then they are stating that the organization is perfect and can not have improvements from anyone anywhere. I don't see that example in the Bible. That is not humble. They should be encouraging suggestions and help especially from the lowliest of them. But where do they get their changes from? The governing body, the helpers and others at bethel. That is totally not humble.

What Did You Think Of The Songs Sung At The Kingdom Hall?
by minimus inwhen i was younger we had song books and i recall that some of the songs were pretty catchy.
then they revised it took some of those songs out, and added more.
i have to admit some songs were pretty good.

I didn't like when the 2009 song book came out. They changed the songs and I knew the older ones. I didn't like the changes just like I didn't like the changes to the NWT in 2013.

What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?
by pistolpete ini’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.

"I never even imagined that a VIRUS would be the downfall of the Organization."
This sounds like Sword in the Stone where Mim vs Merlin. Mim turned into a dragon and Merlin turned into a germ to defeat Mim.
