this is a topic that i find really interesting- how the bible, in particular, the new testament was compiled and how the jw organisation strives to negate, scoff at and diminish the influence of the catholic church in its development.. here is the official stance of the org: .
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publications/watchtower/the-watchtower-1963/april-15.
'the roman catholic church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the canon, and reference is made to the councils of hippo (a.d. 393) and carthage (a.d. 397), where catalogues of books were formulated.
What always amazed me was how the wt tenaciously teaches and claims that jehovah made absolutely sure that the "holy scriptures" were preserved but he sure a hell didn't make sure that the most important aspect, his name, was preserved and how he "allowed" it to be 'removed and hidden' by Christendom! lol lol
just saying!
i can never get my head around this one ?
don`t the powers that be ever really investigate religions that claim exemption from paying taxes because they claim they are a not for profit religion ?.
you would have to be a brain dead imbecile not to see that the religion known as the" watchtower bible and tract society" otherwise known as "jehovah`s witnesses" are nothing more than a religious publishing house that have made x amount of $$$$$ over the years since their inception in the late 1800`s to this day.
All organized religions are a business and businesses need profit to continue to be viable! WT is no different but I agree that religion shoud be paying at least some taxes.

what do you think about this?.

many of them came down to have relations with women.
does that mean there are male angels?
if there are male and female, what makes them that with no physical body?
Some male angels came down and had sex with female humans which created hybrid giants called Nephilim. But they all got wiped out by jehober at the flood!
Other, less handsome, male angels came down and had sex with female lizards and created hybrid giants called Dinosaurs. They also got wiped out by jehober at the flood!
Makes sense ---------right!
just saying!
besides growing up in the religion, why do you think people turn to jehovah’s witnesses?
.
what made you become a witness?
Heavy recruitment! JW's being at the "right" place at the "right" time.

so if the bible is the inspired word of god and i don't believe it is by any stretch, how did adam when he was kicked out of the garden of eden know what a spinning sword was?
did adam invent swords?
more bible non sense garbage.
The loving god jehober created not only the first weapon, a simple sword, he created a weapon of mass destruction a flaming spinning blade!

our loco-needs this month was on apps, yes apps, the apps you use, that is, now catch this---"not by the governing body"!
did wt stop saying watchtower???
an app not by the governing body.
Slowly replacing familiar words like watchtower and organization with 'governing body' is called "gradualism". Something that the 'governing body' use to warn against!

is it me who thinks this.......jw pimi or pomi women lack natural affection toward there children, family and human's.. it must be the indoctrination that strips these emotions.
i see it in my wife all the time, when she talks with non jw people she is like "meh" i got to talk with you.. when she talks with jw people, she has a cult emotion like "yes my people" .
she is screwed in the head, the more that time goes by i want to leave her and get a divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Learning to not genuinely care about other human beings, I mean to actually care, is part of the jw religion. All jw's are taught that nearly 8.5 billion people are not worthy of god's kingdom. Being "Not worthy" by god equates to "not worth anything" to jw's. Typical cult culture of 'us against them'. The pretend love that jw's show by preaching is all about recruiting. The cult culture is hard to shake!

just a comment on your comment;
"....have reached retirement age with no preparation because they thought Armageddon would have come before this time".
jw's didn't "think" they would never reach retirement age! jw's were "told and assured" back in 1969 that they would never grow old in this system of things. Big difference!
