i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.
We were never instructed to observe the memorial.
Jesus only told the 11 that was there. They were the only ones who could keep doing that in remembrance of him because they were the only ones with memories of him.
None of us today have memories of Jesus. None of us walked and talked with him. We only know him because we read stories of him. So to remember him, we just reread the stories.
i heard on the meeting about apps called nwpublisher and cartsmart.
new world publisher (nw publisher) is a free apple ios and google android app created by jehovah’s witnesses for jehovah’s witnesses.
congregation publishers can install new world publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.. cartsmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts.

New World Publisher (NW Publisher) is a free Apple iOS and Google Android app created by Jehovah’s Witnesses for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Congregation publishers can install New World Publisher on their mobile devices and be more united and connected with their congregation.
CartSmart was built to streamline the way we schedule our public witnessing shifts. It's goal is to provide the congregation with a hassle free way of finding and scheduling their shifts for public witnessing, and to give the servant body an easy way to let the congregation know what is available, and to simplify the scheduling process.
prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.
are they allowed to?
would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.
I remember back in 1976 when I was a kid the songs "Devil Woman" and "Magic Man" were considered bad. Also Paul McCartney's "With a little Luck". I've always liked that song, but couldn't let others know.
Now with this thought of Jehovah being offended by violent movies, etc
fyi, i posted this prediction on my facebook page last night and it has received 224 likes and there have been 83 comments made.
many of the comments are hilarious.. .
a beard prediction for 2024:.
I'm watching the meeting on Zoom and several elders look like they are growing beards. Unless it is just bad lighting and pixelation.
Do they not realize that bearded Spock existed in the evil mirror universe, for a reason.
did they hope that everybody who read the1969 awake as a kid is too senile to remember?.
.
Please stop talking about the 1969 Awake article. The writer is long dead. So what is the point of beating a dead horse on and on?
That writer is not currently writing for the WTS.

a beard prediction for 2024:.
The issue is that people just don't care about their appearances anymore. They would rather be rebels, without a cause.
what is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.
g..
There is nothing wrong with 1914. It is solid doctrine that preceded the governing body, Rutherford, Russell, etc.
The beard thing is going to create divisions because people like me are conservative on that. Not in a religious sense, but as Lett said back in the 60s people started growing their hair out of rebellion. I'm for being a rebel, but a rebel with a cause. Bad grooming is not a good cause.
lett has announced in the latest video update that jehovah has dignified the brothers by now letting them to choose for themselves whether they want to have a beard or not -.
https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/global/2023-governing-body-update-8/.
this applies worldwide and to all brothers in any position..
What I didn't like and agree with was how Lett at least 2 times say Paul under inspiration wrote. What Paul wrote back then was good for back then. It is just good advice today. He wasn't inspired in the sense that God told him or prompted him to write that. He was inspired in that he knew God's heart and direction on the matter.

It's obvious that they are lowing the bar to have more brothers do more and stay and be appointed.

"Jehovah has dignified the Brothers ".
No, on the contrary, beards are not dignified.
Shaving is to be done in the morning when brushing the teeth as regular hygiene. If people wear beards, what's next, letting hair in the ears and nose grow out?
