You make a very valid point! And again the borg has really painted themselves into a corner. The #2 baptism question is sort of a mute point!
just saying!
from the faq as captured on the website with this question (how many jehovah's witnesses are there worldwide?
) led to this question of mine who do the organization sees as a jehovah's witness?
the organization answers: .

under 8 years of bush the younger, there was crime.
It starts at the top! tRump surrounded himself with criminals and bigots!

this is part of splane's lecture in the final part of the final day of the 2020 convention.
now speaking of broadcasting.
do you think jehovah has been preparing us for something like this pandemic?
What Splane should have said is that, instead of preparing us for this pandemic, jehober should have fucking prevented it.
But I suppose that jehober wanted to see hundreds of faithful jw's die from Covid-19!

the next thing i knew, i was knee deep in conversation with a seminary student covering two thousand years of religious history.
damn, how did that happen?i won’t bore you with lavish details.
in fact, i only mention the incident for one reason.i'm no smarter than anybody - but i've had way too much practice chatting with eager christian seminary students.i posed a couple of questions i’d never done before which seemed to stop this fella dead in his tracks.
Damn if the christian version of "the end of the world" came an hour from now we would all miss the final day of the Zoom Zoom----- "Always Rejoice" Regional Convention. How sad would that be?

the watchtower—study edition | august 2020. study article 32. walk humbly and modestly with your god.
jesus is depicted in the heavens.
next to him stand some of his co-rulers.
I'm 73 now so I go back a few decades. When I was in my 20's, and an elder, I met an older brother at an elders school who had been in Bethel during the Rutherford era. He despised Rutherford, privately of course, as did many in Bethel.
He told me that Rutherford was the one who banned beards, in fact all facial hair, for jw's because he wanted to distance himself from Russell in every way so as to make the wt organization his own brand! Of course since then the gb has come up with "sound scriptural reasons" to 'ban' beards such as beards inentify people with certain groups of "worldly" people.
I wonder why head shaving for brothers hasn't been banned for jw's since it identifies with the 'skin head' Arian brotherhood?

did anyone else experience a nostalgic throwback to the 1990s when the latest watchtower announcements presented their demand for increased donations from congregations as a “simplified” arrangement?
5. adjustment to resolved congregation donations: in the past, the congregation was presented with multiple resolutions to donate funds to the branch office in support of vari- ous activities cared for by the organization.
this arrangement has been simplified.
I'm sure as hell glad that the GB "simplified" the "generation" doctrine! So fu*king simple that even they can't explain it!

you will be resurrected.
but if you live one more day when armageddon starts you will die a horrible death with no chance of a resurrection.
makes sense to me!.
@nowhere?
Does any wt shit make sense to you? Say bye bye to "making sense" when you become a jw!
