  by Kosonen in

  brothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.

  but my efforts have remained fruitless.

  you well know the biblical procedure.

  Jan Kosonen did you honestly think sending a letter like that to the JWS HQ is even going to read by one of the GB members ?

  The GB are going to tow the party doctrinal line or they too might get labeled an apostate and DFed just like you and when they do they lose their food and shelter, their medical and dental care, their cars and insurance, their air travel around the world .

  They could possibly get booted out penniless with nothing, not to mention the loss of the friendship and socialization they have built as being in the organization.

  What Did You Choose Jehovah Over?

  by minimus in

  some jws believe they have the truth.

  they alone understand god, jehovah.

  they are very happy being jehovah’s witnesses.👍👌..... many others realize what they have given up for jehovah, to belong to the jehovah’s witness religion.

  england, wales, scotland & n.i.

  are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.

  garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.

  Yes but why is that a problem if these governments are acting out upon the effectual condition they have within their own responsible regions ?

  The WTS has been corruptly marketing the end times Armageddon soon for over 140 years, you could say it was this marketing effort which actually made the WTS and created religious following the Jehovah's Witnesses (public sales representatives) expand in accountable numbers over the years.

  One could also say that the Watchtower Corporation made the biggest religoius scam in the vein of organized unregulated charlatanism in the 20th century

  Dutch judge rules that elders are not entitled to hide behind clergy-penitent privilege

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  today a dutch judge ruled that jw elders and the jw branch cannot invoke clergy-penitent privilege when it comes to information used in a judicial committee.. jw had filed a complaint with the courts because the branch office, two kingdom halls and a few elders' homes were raided by police almost 2 years ago in search of evidence related to child abuse issues.. jw argued that the information that was taken by police is protected by clergy-penitent privilege.

  today the judge ruled that 1) an organization doesn't haven't such a privilege, 2) jw elders don't always act as spiritual counselors.

  their actions as judges in judicial committees aren't protected by privilege, and 3) conversations jw have with their elders are often not confidential at all (as per jw policy) so jw elders can't rightfully invoke clergy-penitent privilege to maintain absolute confidentiality, because there isn't absolute confidentiality in the first place.. jw are thinking about appealing the verdict..

  The Watchtower Corporation started out as a commercialized false prophet organization/ publishing house, 140 years later on it still is.

  The Kingdom of the WTS/JWorg. is where men built up their own power and authority if they were sanctioned by god himself, luring people into their Kingdom to be their subjective and submissive slaves.

  But wait they were apostate false prophet sinners who the bible says to not listen to, let alone to subservient and loyal to ????

  today is the 75th anniversary of the end of wii in europe.

  they were a special generation who were literally prepared to give their lives rather than submit to fascism.

  millions paid the ultimate price.

  eight years ago, i lived in a kind of "retirement" hotel.the palm house.no - it wasn't an old folks home.

  it was an ancient folks home.mostly senior ladies living off of faith and a dead husband's money.. my encounter with jesus came about in that environment.. once a week there would be a coffee and doughnuts get-together to get to know your neighbors.. well .

  .i got invited repeatedly, badgered, coaxed, pestered and i gave up.

  The Motive of the Governing Body

  by jwfacts in

  i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

  however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

  it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

  To identify a motive by the WTS/JWS leaders (GB), it really was about creating set doctrines which could be utilized to not only attract people to the literature the organization published but to coerce and manipulate people to publicly distribute those pieces of literature themselves. This was strategically designed as preaching an accurate bible based gospel of Jesus and his new kingdom order.

  Eventually overtime these doctrines ran their course and are easily pointed out as false unscriptural doctrines.

  The Watchtower Corporation was tricky, deceitful, lying, corrupt, apostate and sinful in its endeavour of preaching a tainted and commercialized Gospel.
