admittedly it 90% crap over there but still they are up to 80k in subscribers.
over here it's the same half dozen or so that posts something, including myself.
why is that?.
Reddit is just a place where kids can vent about their parents when the fact is they need the direction of their parents or their parents need to be slapped.
Reddit is like twitter, in that it is just people jumping on the popularity bandwagon, i.e. Democrats, liberals just insulting because they can and it is encouraged.
here's my list of jw no-no's as i recall: .
1. no giving or accepting valentine candy for students.
2. no going to home coming football games.
I think all of you are nuts
"13. No dating Christians or anyone not a JW"
Of course JWs can date Christians. They are the ones in the congregation.
And they are allowed to date Non-JWs.
They can do many things on your lists.
They can be armed security guards. Just because in the past there was a superstition about it does not mean that thinking people hold to everyone's superstition. I would not be a security guard because it is a boring job. But if I were one, I would be like Macguyver and choose not to use guns, not because of a religion but because I feel that guns are for cowards.

About being a police officer. Why can't JWs carry guns? Nothing wrong with shooting bad people.

I could do #2, 3, 4,60 and many more.
thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.
Why does it matter? Why does anyone ever care?
They like to focus on those words of Jesus but your caring about that gives them the power.
Just ignore that scripture and their power is gone.
jehovah’s witnesses and sexual abuse: 3. some common misunderstandings.
a chap called terrill hamons who l am taking to be a jw apologist on quora sent me this link along with many others .
the sites are all about how misunderstood and unfairly treated the wt is .
Question:
Why does the 9th commandment say "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" (Exodus 20:16)
Why does The Hebrew Bible contain a number of prohibitions against false witness, lying, spreading false reports, etc Exodus 20:16, Deuteronomy 5:20, Exodus 23:1-2, Proverbs 19:5, Isaiah 29:20-22
Wouldn't it because Jehovah knew how people are? Untrustworthy liars
And he believes in Blackstone's ratio which is "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

1914.. tel-aviv university.
"biblical military campaigns reconstructed using geomagnetic field data.
I keep asking this question when this topic comes up: Why does it matter when Jerusalem fell?
1914 is not based on the fall of Jerusalem. Just because Nelson Barbour thought it had to, does not mean that Jehovah God thought it did.
The problem is that people rely on books like 'the Gentile Times Reconsidered" and are just as lost Rutherford, Russell and Barbour. Carl Olof just wrote it to argue against the Watchtower Society because he is so arrogant. He didn't write it to find the fulfillment of Nathan's prophesy to David to find when Jesus would become king.

Why does it matter?
1914 is not based on the fall of Jerusalem.
Nelson Barbour thought it did and thus Charles Russell and his prodigy did.
But that does not make it so.
1914 is based on 2520 years after the kings in the line of David lost their sovereignty as sitting on Jehovah's throne in Jerusalem. That happened prior to the fall of Jerusalem.
have you seen this video about the covid vaccines?
have you got any views on the information?
i find it worrying at least.
I heard on the news that alot of children are getting hospitalized for respiratory diseases not covid. Because of masking and distancing and not going to school they have not been exposed to viruses and germs to build a resistance to them.
has this question ever been raised before by jehovah`s witnesses?
and what`s the significance, if any ?.
" being the son of God and perfect, etc, is there anything on the NT that we can conclude that JC was circumcised"
The parents didn't know that. So they just followed the law like everyone else did. And Luke 2:21 "After eight days, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived"
