  WATCHTOWER WINS IN FRANCE AGAINST 🇫🇷 MIVILUDES

  in what can only be described as a win for truth, justice, and religious freedom (depending on who you ask ofcourse), the paris administrative court has come to the defense of jehovah’s witnesses.

  on june 14, 2024, the court ruled that miviludes, france’s government agency for monitoring cult-like behavior, had committed the heinous crime of defamation against jehovah’s witnesses.france unlike most other countries has an agency that monitors destructive cults and gets who is in their list: jehovah’s witnesses, i wonder why that is.

  "abstain and die!"- WTBTS

  by hamsterbait in

  1. social

  i find it amazing that the wtbts says that you should refuse blood, even if it could save your life.. look at the apostle paul.

  he knew the injunctions of acts 15 - yet by his own admission in his letters to the corinthians admitted that he bought meat sacrificed to idols and ate it.

  so would he have refused this meat if he were about to die of hunger?.

  L.A. D.A. Announces His Office Is Reviewing The Menendez Brothers' Conviction

  not sure if anyone really remembers this case, it was huge at the time.

  the very interesting point though about this was that at the time the parents were known to be very active in the jw religion.

  i also believe that the father may have been an elder(i could be mistaken, though).

  MINA TREASURY SERVICES LIMITED, Ireland, Bethel, the vow of poverty, stocks, dividends and Christ Jesus. Find me the connection

  by LaFrancia in

  2. beliefs

  i read this from a european blog.

  all the bethelites who are part of it (16 in total) own 631,250 shares (value of each share 1 euro).

  the shares will generate a dividend, but the bethelites have all taken a vow of poverty.

  how do you feel about the use of the name Jehovah now?

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those who still believe in god and the bible, how do you feel/think about the name jehovah now?

  i am one who never wanted to bring reproach on god's name.

  i will admit using the word jehovah now makes me feel rather icky...like i am promoting a lie of sorts.

  Director of ICE, appointed by President Biden, has released a report of the number of criminals deliberately brought into the United States.

  by liam in

  the director of ice appointed by biden couldn't contain anymore what the biden administration was secretly hiding from the american people and congress.

  so he released his report a few days ago to congress, and revealed that hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists from afghanistan were being flown into the country in private planes during the night and releasing them into all the states.

  this is not a republican report.

  Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

  by slimboyfat in

  2. beliefs

  say it ain’t so!

  .

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?
