  Allowed?

  a jobo i know has cancer.

  her son goes and cleans her house and generally cares for her.

  so does another non-jobo relative.. the congregation, interestingly, has shown very little support apart from the odd one rabbiting on about 'bible promises this and that'.. so, the co visited and said, 'but your son is an apostate(tm).

  We'll have to find out if it's allowed?

  Why do they need permission from the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger for everything? By the time all the yes's and no's get sorted out, the father is going to be dead. And for what? What are they going to do, disfellowship the father for associating with an apostate after the father is dead?

  And what's with this always checking with higher ups for permission? This is with everything. You want a job, you need to check with the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger or with a hounder-hounder? By the time you get cleared, the offer is gone. And so is your income potential. Then you get a job that pays garbage, is lousy, and drains you--and joke-hova blessed you? Or, more likely, cursed you by taking a good job out from under you so you would get this trash job.

  Or, with marriage? They are always so permission-seeking that, by the time it clears, the window of opportunity is closed. They find some flimsy pretext that "they are too new" or "too weak" for you, and by the time that gets "fixed", someone else gets the spouse.

  If this is what joke-hova and/or jesus wants, then I would rather check with Satan and the Demons instead. At least that way, any "No" would be simply a bad compatibility situation, not simply because someone wishes to hold you up with your life until the opportunity closes.

  Can You Name ANYTHING That Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Been Right About?

  regarding prophecies, i can’t name one thing jws have been correct about.

  as a matter of fact nothing stands out to me that shows the witnesses have the truth..

  About the only policy I can agree with is against smoking and drugs (not the extreme measures taken against those who do, but the policies themselves). Using these things is stupid, not so much wicked as the washtowel claims. And, if no one smoked or used recreational drugs, people would be healthier and not waste so much money.

  Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

  First, I will agree that China is a filthy country, and communism is why. This filth is why so many are susceptible to diseases. And by "filth", I mean really bad air and water pollution, and lousy living accommodations. This will naturally make what would have been an isolated incident into a pandemic.

  And the washtowel can go on all day about this being a sign of the end. What about the plague, which exceeded even the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic? That was a result of xianity itself. They banned cats as "from the Devil". This prevented cats from keeping rat populations in check, making a paradise for fleas (which made the rats' lives miserable as well). The fleas carried the disease. No one thought that keeping the fleas under control, or bringing in cats to keep a lid on the rat population, would keep this plague from destroying 3/4 of Europe.

  As with that, all three of the "allowed" religions are holding back science. Without judaism and its offspring filth xianity and islam, we would have cures for these diseases. As soon as one person gets a new virus, someone would find its cure and administer it. Within a day or so, that patient is cured and that virus is extinct. Problem solved. And that goes for non-infectious diseases that are poorly treated with drugs--I don't know what is worse, cancer or the drugs they use to treat it (never cure it, treat it). Better to get these three parasite religions out of the way so science can work on curing such diseases instead of relying on lifelong courses of dangerous drugs that barely work.

  What Jesus could / should have said if....?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if jehovah god had purposed followers of jesus to be called jehovah`s witnesses , jesus christ had the perfect opportunity to instruct them to do so .. the fact that he didn`t and the overwhelming evidence in the new testament that followers of jesus were to be witnesses of jesus christ as the only means to come to the father jehovah god.. sciptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jesus 20+ , scriptures that say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah in the new testament ?

  none / zero .. not the wtb&ts or the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses but only by bearing witness to jesus as his witnesses.. and here is the proof not by what jesus said but what he didn`t say when he had the opportunity to do so.. when many stopped following jesus because they were shocked by what he was saying .john 6 :67-69.

  "therefore jesus said to the twelve ,you do not want to go also do you?

  If I am going to do what jesus would have done all the time in every situation, all I am going to be is the perfect slave. Since I do not want that, I would not do what jesus would have done in that situation. And that generously assumes that thing exists at all, which I do not think it ever did.

  If you're "anointed" don't seek out other "anointed" so says the Watchtower January 2020

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was affiliated with the witnesses, there were barely 6,000 who profess to be of the anointed remnant.

  i recently read somewhere that today there are over 20,000 who profess to be anointed.

  that figure may be more when you consider those who meet and partake privately for fear of the stigma of claiming to be anointed.

  Or maybe they are afraid that, once enough of them get together, one of them will do some research and find out what kind of place heaven really is. Once they find out, no one will want to go there. No, you will not rule anything (that is, unless you are one of the reptilians or descended from them). Instead, you will have your soul consumed as a meal for the reptilians. While the "other sheep" serve as slaves under joke-hova. Worse than the most communist version of Russia, China, or North Korea. More like the Dark Ages, without any hope of a Renaissance.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Mega Halls

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about this recently.

  the society owns all the kingdom halls and with desperate need of money, their closing down and selling off properties.

  consolidating congregations seems to be the order of the day.

  I hope they make people drive 100 km each way to boasting sessions, and have territories more than 10,000 square kilometers that do not get worked properly. And I hope that makes for more people staying home because they do not have the money to waste on gas, nor the time to waste driving an extra hour per way just for a boasting session they can download from the official site. And, all those new studies--I hope they find that they cannot or will not afford the gas and time wasted traveling those long distances just for a boasting session.

  Back in 2005 and 2006, it became the most shredded rag. I got a paper shredder and shredded all my surplus rags, which turned into a lengthy project since there was more than 1 1/2 meters of these rags when stacked. Every single one of them wound up in the shredder, and my best guess is that it represented at least half the rags I picked up.

  Is wifi sensitivity the new chemical sensitivity?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several of the jws i know have recently graduated/incorporated wifi sensitivity into their (self) diagnosis of chemical sensitivity.

  they seem to be particularly terrified of the new 5g, with some even believing that it's the new 5g that's causing coronavirus in china.

  the fact that even though they maybe able to turn off their own wifi but will still have all the other wifi signals around them doesn't seem to occur to these jws.

  It turns out that 5G is more dangerous than 4G. They need a tower every few meters for 5G, and they put out radiation in the millimeter range. For brief exposure, millimeter radiation is not too bad. But, if you are in it all the time, it is quite dangerous and eventually will lead to health issues. This is true with regular microwaves, but you need more dosage for longer periods to do any significant damage. Even radio waves can mess with your health in large enough doses in time.

  However, 5G cannot cause coronavirus, or any other virus or bacteria. It can't even cause a regular virus (such as a regular cold) to mutate (you would need much more energy that is more likely to kill the virus). It can make one more susceptible to these viruses in high enough doses, as with any other stress. Beyond this, I think more people are going to die from the panic and spot shortages that the virus scare will create than from the disease. And even more from the communism that this is going to generate--mandatory shots that contain an even worse agent or chemical poisons, mandatory sharing of all provisions (which is communism), and so on. You can prepare for the virus--quit smoking if you still smoke, and get your supplements. You can prepare for the shortages--stock up on medium and long shelf life groceries before they disappear. But, for the communism, no preparation will do more than get you thrown in the gulags.

  Tablets? who can afford those things these days, and especially with all the washtowel rules against getting a decent job? And, what about the data plans? "Unlimited" is not really unlimited, because they can and will throttle you once you use a certain amount per month. And it is very expensive.

  Beyond that, what is to stop anyone from getting a 4 TB card and putting regular videos on it? I would be downloading YouTube videos about all subjects and putting them on that card, and watching them during field circus. And, the washtowel videos go on a separate portion of the card, so I can easily open that in one window and my YouTube videos on another. When I need to show someone a video, I would open that window and run the video from the card instead of wasting data online, and then go back to my worldly video.

  Not to mention, downloading whole blatantly Satanic websites onto the card and reading that instead of whatever bibles or washtowel littera-trash they might have. For sure, I would rather have an astrology site open than a bible. And, if they do get me to open to a bible or washtowel section, I can download it in German and make things miserable for them (I can read German a lot better than they can, even if not yet perfectly).

  Kh's will be gone in 5 years! Here's how it will work

  by nowwhat? in

  besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.

  there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.

  so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.

  And wait until they see how much they will get for donations. How often do people actually donate for something like YouTube videos? Not very. With something like this, they will simply watch a few minutes of the video and then click the big red X at the upper right corner of the browser. And how are they going to find out whether people are actually complying if they have a streaming video "meeting" instead of actually coming to a physical boasting session? Also, what counts as "attendance"? Do you "attend" by just clicking on and loading the player, buffering and all? Or do you have to watch the whole video? (And how would Internet cuts and video buffering, and downloads, affect that number?)

  As for me, they will get absolutely nothing out of me. They might get about 50 false start views out of me, lasting under a few seconds before I close the browser tab and "try" again only to close that tab out, too. How are they going to deal with that? Or, if people move the cursor that marks how far along the video has gone? It is pretty easy to start the video, watch maybe a minute or so, and then move toward the end of the video and watch the last few minutes. If they are live-streaming, how are they going to deal with people that come in late and start skipping around?
