  What the Watchtower was REALLY saying!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we all should have read between the lines:.

  w11 5/15 p. 27 - "another way to cooperate with the anti-christ christ’s “brothers” is to have a positive attitude toward any reversals of doctrines refinements in our perversions understanding of scriptural truths as published by the evil slave “the faithful and discreet slave.”".

  JWs can toast now….what’s next

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower

  so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

  a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

  too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

  "…they drop the mid-week meeting." I've looked at the workbook they have for that, what a joke, for a 3rd grader, practically spoon feed the audience with ground up baby food. No congregation "bible" study, simpleton replacement for the theocratic school, and no substance for the "service meeting" and not saying the old meetings were "exciting." I would rather watch paint dry.

  Latest WT article: Suffer like Paul and call it a blessing!

  by raymond frantz in

  from their latest october 2025 edition ,study article 40, paragraph 12:.

  "what if we start to wonder whether our problems are proof that we have lost jehovah’s approval?

  it may help to think of other faithful servants of jehovah who faced very difficult situations.

  I would say, you first, suffer like Paul, when I know they take 2 cruises a year, and go skiing in Europe.

  What did I learn today about this, 1) the place where the camp was is called "flood alley." 2) a flood like this happened 40 years ago (so not one in a 200 years as some have claimed). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeBVpB40pVs&ab_channel=CBSTEXAS

  I agree, jwleaks, I have had a very small part helping, but Barbara has carried a big load with others, educating lawyers to the inner workings of the WTS, and giving of her time, energy, and jumping into this working with victims/survivors of the WTS policy on reporting CSA. It has been a long road to get to this place. So I am very sad, that some can't acknowledge that. It has been a team effort, but Barbara and several others have given a lot of their life to this.

  Anyone explain the generation idea!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't understand we went thru a phase where we down played the generation so now it's the generation that knew the 1914 generation???

  is that correct?

  how does that even work.

  I saw a problem right away, at least probably not a problem for the WTS, room for there to be more overlapping, to infinity.
