Off-color posts on this poorly placed thread seem like a sort of perverted sexual assault upon the reader.
Stooping to sleazy remarks, and laughing about it, in the name of high political views...
Hypocritical
there is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .
most mainstream media do not report on this claim.
they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.

How many years has your father been "in the truth"?

Why is this topic not posted in the Politics and Current Affairs section?
This topic is not related to Jehovahs Witness or WatchTower society related and meeting new friends.
How difficult would it have been to click it into the appropriate category?
this century vs. beginning of last century-.
we had the great recession they had the great depression!.
so far 125k dead.
Watch Tower will continue to portray facts to favor GB doctrine, induce psychological FOG.... and promote a "sense of urgency"
"The End" is always "near" according to false prophets.... and Watch Tower.
Several broods of Watch Tower GB have all claimed the end was "near"... but now those men are dead, and this latest bizarre batch of GB will eventually go the same way.... Yet the world will keep turning.
Imagine what would happen to membership if the message was: "The end is probably coming after your lifetime!"
The only way for doomsday cults to drum up new (overlapping) generations of victims is to boldly declare renewed conviction:
"The End is Near!"
this is "return to jehovah video" from this weeks meeting.
the use fear to gain more people back in the truth?
what are your thoughts?
Fear mongering!
For over 140 years Watch Tower has been unremorseful in manipulating "sheeplike people" through Fear, Obligation, Guilt, F.O.G.
Watch Tower GB are now outright shameless in the use of these culty FOG tactics.
"The End" has always been "near" according to Watch Tower, and the "faithful discreet slave" has been wrong every time.
So these weird dramatizations and GB videos and just the same old Sh!# from different false prophets.
does anyone remember one of the videos on the jw broadcast, where the speaker actually prayed "in the name of michael, amen"?
.
someone was asking about it on another forum, but no one can remember when it was or if we can locate it..
In the name of Michael, amen
We have never heard that in the JW world, and any official making a habit of saying that during a JW gathering prayer would quickly be receiving warning counsel or defrocked.
Even though JWs teach that Jesus and Michael are synonymous, they know it sounds weird in a prayer, LOL!
Good catch, rtn. No hypocrisy there!
@lamalcool
JWs are attending more meetings now than ever before covid19.
Video-conferencing mania!
Watch Tower gave instructions that JW elders maintain regular contact with the flock in addition to the weekly video-conferencing meetings. That means live video shepherding, weekly, if possible.
so my wife is so diluted and brainwashed.
during this time she is having so much anxiety, mainly because me and my son's want nothing to do with the religion.. so the discussion was, i told her will never go back because they go way beyond what the bible teaches all the time.
i brought up overlapping generation, 607 and then i told her...show me where in the bible that jesus returned invisbly in 1914 and started ruling?
so how does the WT spin it that Jesus started ruling in 1914
Because World War I proved King Jesus evicted Satan from heaven.
You can debate scripture and chronology, but with a PIMI JW, it is nearly impossible to persuade them that WWI is not clear evidence of Jesus (aka Archangel Michael at Rev 12:7-12) was invisibly given power as heavenly king, with his first act as king being the eviction of Satan to earth, which caused great "Woe" for the inhabitants of the planet. - Revelation 12:12
Remember too that, to you, the 1914 doctrine may seem like a critical part of JW faith, but to your wife, 1914 may be a sort of non-issue. Something else may be motivating her to hold the JW faith. It could be the desire for everlasting life in a paradise earth, the "resurrection hope", the "loving united brotherhood", fear of shunning...something with an emotional connection.
If/when Watch Tower is forced to modify or abandon the 1914 doctrine, millions of JWs will still continue to follow Watch Tower because of their emotional connection to other parts of that belief system.
Attempting to forcefully awaken a JW can often result in very undesirable side effects.
If your marriage and family are genuinely happy now, it may be best to live and let live.
Sometimes the passage of time is what awakens a JW, when they naturally realize that the utopia they are promised may not be "just around the corner."
think of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.
2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.
3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....
@Zing
If that "PIMI" couple and that "PIMI" husband actually complained, even privately, about cooperating with the JW video-conferencing guidelines, then they are not truly PIMI...they would be tipping toward PIMO.
PIMI always rejoice over Watch Tower nonsense, and fanatically obey.
"we must obey god rather than men" act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the gb are obeying the united nations world health organization and shutting down all of their "witnessing" operations ,very effectively i might add.. instead of boldly proclaiming the kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying god rather than men they are now more in fear of what the superior authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.. this is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .. of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.. but the fact remains they are not trusting in jehovah to protect their members nor are they trusting in jehovah to keep the "worldwide preaching work" going.. what do you think ?.
Why did the GB submit to government orders and halt all forms of public evangelizing in response to a viral pandemic ?
2 words:
Self preservation
Emphasis on SELF
Meanwhile JWs imprisoned for Watch Tower approved civil disobedience and extremism are left scratching their heads baffled at GB double standard.
