  I don’t think the free tier patron thing was his idea or even his choice, it was a patron wide thing.

  With him it’s always a possibility that he’s lying, but he has had wealthy backers from the start. I think there was someone on here called Marvin who supported him years ago, and another American who would send him lots of money too. Maybe for some of these people it’s simply a case of throwing good money after bad because they can’t admit to themselves they were wrong about the guy.

  Plus is it possible that some pro-JW people are funnelling him money to keep him going? Keeping him on YouTube serves Watchtowers interests, so I don’t think it’s out of the question that he is getting some indirect support.

  Somebody gave him money and he went on holiday and that’s why he hasn’t met his fans like he said he would. Okay. But was there any reason he didn’t tell his fans this before disappearing? Obviously, aside from he just couldn’t be bothered/general disregard.

  By the sound of it he’s given up on Zoom calls altogether. What would he say to them anyway?

  His interviews were terrible. He got some pretty interesting people to come on the channel, like Jim Penton, but LE spent most of the time telling the interviewee how much he knows about the topic himself, and his own opinions on everything. A complete waste of everyone’s time.
  

  I think his channel might grind to a complete halt, but he’ll still collect the money, of course. The ironic thing at this point is that occasional videos probably only succeed in reminding a few of his absent-minded followers to unsubscribe. So he’s probably better off posting no videos at all than a paltry amount.

  DerekMoors I agree he’d probably get nowhere trying to take a job with a regular boss. But I guess that’s not what he’ll do, he’ll look for another opportunity to get other people to work for him for free. There’s plenty around. Our system is based on it.

  He’s a practiced confidence trickster. His main skill apparently has always been getting other people to work or do things for him for free. It might be a lot harder for him now, but he hasn’t suddenly lost that skill, so he’ll probably land on his feet at some point, to other people’s detriment.

  Who will be killed at Armageddon?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.

  but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?

  it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.

  I know what has been said about the AGM but I want to hear he the talks fully and in context before I am sure what they are now saying.

  Not a comment you often hear about GB talks. Sometimes apostates and semi-apostates turn out to be the GB’s most devoted audience. 🤓

  LE: “I resemble that remark” 😠

  That’s what I’m saying 😁

  Doctrines and Bible Interpretations

  by IWant2Know in

  i would like to know if ex's and formers who are not church christians, believe that many of jws' doctrines and bible interpretations are correct, or do you feel that they aren't?

  JWs are much closer to the biblical texts than other Christian groups in key teachings including: the importance of God’s name; that Jesus is the firstborn of all creation and subordinate to God; that Christians should be separate from the world and not take part in wars; that consciousness ends at death; that humans will be resurrected to a restored earth; that anointed Christians comprise the ‘Israel of God’; that all Christians must preach; and so on, this is not a complete list. The things they are wrong about are relatively minor and mainly to do with the end times, such as the Gentile Times ending in 1914 and the identity of the ‘faithful slave’.

  old habits die hard...and quite often in my comments i will refer to the borg as the 'truth'.

  does anyone know of any other churches that refer to their own particular church or religion as the 'truth'??

  also, does anyone know how it originated...all my life i have used the term...comments like 'how long have u been in the truth?

  Yes Christadelphians do use this phrase.
