this was leaked only few days ago and it's a small segment of the video from the 2024 convention that has already started.
the video shows a jw logo down while worried jws are watching it as a news item on their tv screens, others are seen hiding from the police, others driving is the countryside to escape the authorities.
Why do they keep talking about the government persecution?
We have the 1st amendment to the federal constitution protecting our freedom of religion and each state has that freedom in its own constitution.
And even if those were to fail to protect that freedom, we have the 2nd amendment of the US Federal constitution to bring back those freedoms.
"if you confess with your mouth that jesus is lord and believe in your heart that god raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
- romans 10: 9. i find it interesting that this simple requirement for salvation has been a specific target of wt since their beginning.. first, jw's call jehovah lord, not jesus.
the fact that scripture calls jesus the king of kings and lord of lords doesn't seem to matter to them.
It is simple. The structure was that Israel was God's people. Then they became unfaithful and in Jer 31 a new covenant was given to where the structure would still be Israel but not of the flesh, but of the spirit.
We can't rely upon what Jesus said and not on what Paul said. Neither of them knew that the structure would be limited to 144,000. That was not revealed until Revelation.
Starting at Pentecost, the Israelites were anointed with holy spirit and adopted into the covenant, then in Acts 8 the Samaritans, then in Acts 10 the Gentiles. Then people in general whom God chose were anointed with holy spirit until the 144,000 were filled. This was filled around the mid 1990s.

Sea Breeze said "Before the cross, Jesus predicted that he would resurrect himself from the dead, while he was dead."
No, he did not predict that. There was no cross. Jesus did not predict that he would resurrect himself, because he would be dead.
"So, if you are good with a man who resurrected himself from the dead being the Lord of your life, that's about all there is to getting saved. Living the Christian life is a 3 step process though.
1. Justification
2. Sanctification
3. Glorification"
None of those 3 are part of Christianity. What ever happened to "I will cause a boy who drives a plow to know more of the scriptures than the pope."
No one needs to know those 3 words listed above.

Sounds like it applies only to his readers as all of the other letters from Paul go.
Paul is not the authority here.
And that 1963 W is correct. Jesus could not have been resurrected in the body that he lived in as he could not ascend beyond the atmosphere.
It had to be a body of spirit as he was at the right hand of God.

Why do people keep using the words of writers against the religion?
we've got some really knowledgeable members on here so i have a question for them and everybody.
what was the earliest adjective used to describe the snake of genesis 3:1?
currently one can read words in english translations like 'cunning' and 'crafty'....but in other languages you see words like 'wise' and astute...which convey a completely different idea.. i'm wondering what may have been the earliest and most accurate adjective known or used.
"Eve breaks the Mosaic Law, the Law against stealing"
There was no Mosaic Law at Eve.
may 14, 2024. hello brothers at the writing committee.
many brothers and sisters are wondering when will the end come?
we were supposed to live in the last days of the last days as brother lett told a couple of years ago.
That was a pointless letter. It was just ridiculing them.
"Brothers are wondering: Where is the proclamation of “Peace and Security”? "
There will be no proclamation of peace and security. You could have explained to them why. But you don't know.
it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.
i was almost 5 years old when these were released.
“1914 and you” — may 1, 1984 watchtower.
Disgruntled fool, Those 1952, 59, 61 Watchtowers do not change what I said.
1914 is not a false prophesy.
It is not even of Russell. That preceded him.
To have a prophesy, there must be a prophet.
The problem is that you all don't understand the actual Bible prophesies and their application through time.

Chevelle, it was only false because you believed it to be false. Deut 18 does not apply.
1914 is true.

FYI, it is not a false prophesy because it was not a prophesy. IT was an interpretation of scripture.
That's why people proclaiming the rapture is not a false prophesy as that also is an interpretation of scripture. That is a misinterpretation of scripture.
1914 is a valid interpretation of scripture. You all are just disappointed because it didn't result in what you wanted it to be.
