The Black Goat in the JW Covid-19 Report - 2020 Governing Body Update #5

by Oh-my-God in

did you notice this?

2020 governing body update #5. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/docid-702020307_1_video.

why do they show the black goat in the picture?

I will give you a quick rundown on what this connects to. Fake Jews which worship Moloch/Baal control the world. These deities are as far as I can tell used as representations for aspects of Satan/Lucifer. Modern Jews which have taken over Judaism for the worship of Satan have created goyim clubs (infidels) which serve their purposes. One of these is that of the Freemasons, as well as the Knights Templar, who are the original Baphomet worshipers, Skulls and Bones, Bohemian Groove, Finders Cult, NXIVM and countless others.

Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. His grave is a masonic pyramid, and one of the common masonic symbols is that of the pyramid with the all seeing eye on top. This symbolizes enlightenment, which is a concept that ties deeply into Satanism. Think back to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and how Lucifer means "light bringer", thus someone who enlightens you.

Goat like representations are also deeply tied with Satanism. Think the image of Baphomet. As someone who owns goats, I can understand why. Goats are deeply curious creatures, always seeking to find things out, but also rebellious, mischievous and sometimes destructive. Anyway, what I want to say is that I'm not surprised an organization created by a devil worshiping Freemason would prominently display a goat in their videos. They have been created as a subversion of Christianity.

Thank so much backformore! Thanks for the encouragement and all the kind advice. Clearly, playing by JW rules will only bring me misery as I become more bitter from being deprived of a normal relationship. I've decided to say no more. Fuck what the JWs will think!

Bethelite, you ask a good question. I would simply say that my wife and I decided that the children will not go to any type of religious indoctrination until they are mature and can make their own choices. Considering I barely attend, I don't think that it would be a big deal. Celebrating children's birthdays and Christmas, that would really upset them, but we can simply do that privately as a family and it's none of their business if they don't approve.

Ding, you are right. She does deserve better than that. Those were simply silly hypotheticals of certain short time mitigative actions. I would never put my girlfriend though something that makes her uncomfortable, even though she's not bothered about JWs at all, she finds it all very silly, doesn't take it seriously. Honestly, this woman is so amazing I wouldn't hesitate to marry her tomorrow but our relationship has started not very long ago and I don't want to scare her with life-long commitments just yet.

LV101 you actually gave me some very useful advice. You see, my parents have had issues themselves with that elder (which is why is hates me, he hated my parents before me) and I can use him as an excuse (partly true) as to the reason why I'm fading stronger and no longer interested if he and other elders chimp out about my worldly relationship.

Haha, I was mostly joking about the money part Mr. Mustard, they are a corrupt and money hungry organization, but I'd have no guarantee they'd actually leave me alone, unless I keep donating, and that would be just like paying protection money to the mafia. I shouldn't and I won't pay just to not be harassed or socially ostracized. One of the elders hates me on a personal level anyway, so no amount of money would keep him off my back.

I wish to express my sincere thanks so all the others that have contributed to this conversation so far. It's a lot of input but I really have no one to discuss these things with who will understand and this makes your feedback very valuable to me.

You are right Carla that it's not fair for her, but I'm trying my best to make it fair and she does know what she's getting herself into. I have explained everything to her fully and truthfully, and she still wants us to be together. She doesn't care about what JWs think and has never been religious, so my unwillingness to participate in other religious holidays does not bother her. Also why I will never pressure her to do anything she's not comfortable with doing, which is not much because at most I'd ask her to accompany to the memorial or something like that. Although, she does celebrate Christmas, birthdays and other commercial holidays like normal people. My parents will just have to accept that is our business what we choose to do as a couple. In other words, I will ensure that she will never miss out on any life experience because of my past with this cult, that much is certain.

In another line of thought, I wonder if serious financial donations would buy me leeway with the elders. Can I bribe them? It sure seems many JW celebs have been given a lot more leeway than regular publishers. Maybe I could do the same now that business is booming? Or maybe I'd be a fool and money feeding a heartless corporation that masquerades as a religion.

Thank you guys! You've really helped me organize my thoughts and form a plan of sorts. It's a small town and everyone knows everyone, not many secrets and not very likely to keep a relationship secret, nor do I think it would be fair and mature to ask my girlfriend to 'hide' as we're both young and would like to enjoy life together, but I won't advertise it either.

We'll see what happens and sort of go from there. I'll be discrete and if they do find out I won't tell them much about it except that she is positive towards JWs and that we're following scriptural advice concerning moral behavior. I won't tell them I don't want to be a JW anymore and generally try to keep my mouth shut about everything, and claim I can't share details about my private life.

There aren't many JWs around and I remember the scriptural advice that it's better to marry someone that's not in the faith rather than sin.Ultimately though, I realized that I'm willing to lose all acceptance from the JW community if it means I can finally start living the life that I wish for. I feel imprisoned and in arrested development. I'm in my mid-20s and while I have done well financially and professionally, I feel like something is missing from my life.

Continuing to pretend I'm a JW is pointless. I'll never be one truthfully, and there's no point in having any relationship with other JWs if it's based on the lie that I share their views. I'll just fade away completely and hope they do the same. I think my parents will understand and their desire for grandchildren will override any concerns brought up by the cult as long as a maintain a calm, healthy attitude and show them I can be happy and loved outside the cult.
