"We will also increase our joy if we prayerfully and diligently study God’s spirit-inspired Word and Christian publications prepared under the spirit’s guidance." w92 15. 3. p. 22 § 16

The org always says, that all the publications NOT from man - they are coming from god. Otherwise we don't would follow this words in the orgs writings.

So the only defense from the org is, that the old publications are "old light".

And we all know, that this old/new light is also "b u l l s h i t".

This awake article shows us, that we can't trust the orgs publications and that there publications are man-made lies.

We can't stop showing this the hole world.

(by the way - I was 9 years old and a born in in the year 1969)

Further education

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

i just saw on a video that there has been a change about further education.

here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.

i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

Letter to Elders

WHILE THE FAITHFUL SLAVE HAS LONG PROVIDEO LOVING COLNSEL ON THE DANGERS OF PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FOLLOWING SUCH A COURSE IS NOT OUTLAWED IN THE CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION.

(2 COR. 3:17) TREREFORE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY OR WISE FOR ELDERS TO CREATE RIGID RULES ON SUCH MATTERS, ESPECIALLY AS THE FAITHFUL SLAVE HAS NOT DONE SO.

RATHER, ELDERS SHOULD BE GUIDED BY SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES AND ASSESS EACH CASE ON ITS OWN MERITS. THE SHEPHERD BOOK, CHAPTER 8, PARAGRAPH 30, HELPS US IN THIS REGARD BY POSING A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS FOR ELDERS TO CONSIDER. HAVING CONSIDERED SUCH QUESTIONS, IF A BROTHER WHO IS PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION SATISFIES THE SCRIPTURAL REQUIREMEMTS FOR AN APPOINTED MAN IN EVERY OTHER RESPECT, THERE IS NO REASON WHY HE CANNOT SERVE AS AN ELDER OR MINISTERIAL SERVANT.

What If?

by peacefulpete in

recent news about beards is getting lots of attention.

it made me wonder if any guys will return to the church under the impression that 'so much has changed'.

back when, i knew a couple guys who were outspoken about beards, seeing it as an issue, and was never terribly moved by their viewpoint.

@peacefulpete

I learned outside, that JWs (including the own family) only have conditional love.

True unconditional love is only outside the JWs possible.

So I would never ever return to this fake love cult.

Lloyd Evans Patreoff Pool - December 2023

by DerekMoors in

put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.

in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.

as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?

fastJehu

to keep it easy - I'm again bet for 411

Thought on “0 hours” reporting

by FFGhost in

so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

@inbetween "... Can the bar be any lower?"

Just get a car number/registration plate with JW in or
a sticker on the car with JW . org

@Phizzy "... over 8 million ..."

@FFGhost "... event hit 9 million in the next year or 2."

In some countries, religions are given money by the government and usually this is based on the number of members.

And according to the motto "follow the money", it makes sense that JWs are interested in driving the numbers up.

Lloyd Evans Patreoff Pool - November 2023

by DerekMoors in

let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?

let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?

will he drop back down below 400?

411 please and enjoy 2 cold german beer

When did you see realise James Lloyd Evans was a wrongun?

by usualusername1 in

jw
friends

i remember him on this site when he was called cedars and had jw survey.. straightaway i noticed he could not accept suggestions.. the time i knew he was dangerous was when his group aawa added people to their fb group without their permission and were outed.. he refused to close the fb page (whilst celebrating 1300 members joining in a few days).

one member complained and was subsequently disfellowshipped, which could easily have been avoided.. three week's after launching, the fb page was closed down.

from that moment i knew james lloyd evans was dangerous.. when did you realise he not good?.

fastJehu

When his group AAWA added people to their FB group without their permission and were outed.

Then when the reddit moderators even in Germany sided with Lloyd Evans and didn't allow any criticism of his confession video, they lowered themselves to the same level of Lloyd.

So, 60 Years Ago

by titch in

so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

(i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.

so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?

fastJehu

In Germany the convention was 1963 in Munich.

The place, where now is the Oktober-Fest.

I was 3 years old and can't remember anything from this convention.
