"JEHOVAH'S" witnesses: How could WE get the name so wrong????

by BoogerMan in

the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.

(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.

(luke 24:47, 48) .

Narcissist challenges culture ingrained with the concept of “saving face” to perform humiliating retreat

I have to say I do wish we would stop buying from a country that brings cheap, often pointless products over the sea in tankers that do the majority of the worlds polluting.....

As another poster says we all should start repairing things more etc & manufacture more at home. Train up our own people to design & build, too, although I appreciate that takes time.

One thing I like is that in my country Brits have gotten a lesson in just what a poor state their country is in & how we don't have the ability to be acting like Charlie Big Potatoes anymore. The only reason we get a seat at the table is because we're seem as so stable - which worries me because it means the establishment will fight to the death to prevent any new political party/parties from being formed & gaining power... especially one that might upset the apple cart & put the British working classes first for once.

CaminanteWhile Arthur might come through as immature, naive or lacking self-respect, he is nevertheless a kind-hearted, smart and good kid.

Yes Arthur has Asperger's and it infuriates me that Lloyd takes advantage of him.

144thousand_andone He would have had a very rough time growing up in the neighborhood where I was raised, because he would have been subjected to extreme bullying.

Yes I think it's one of the reasons he's such an asshole. Pretty sure he would have been bullied at school here in the UK, dude like that

Is there a link to the Reddit thread anyone?

Is jehovahs-witness.com legitimately and reliably independent of WTB&TS and peripheral, aligned entities?

by great-trivialization in

forum
links

i am new to this forum and uncertain that this is legitimately and entirely independent of conniving jw controllers or the wtb&ts and its related entities.

markers like the use of jw.org in the forum description and the policies seem controlled/controlling vs other xjw forums.

this is not an accusation, it is an attempt to know enough to be comfortable with motives of the ownership and controllers of the forum.

Diogenesister

I do OPs occasionally every now and then I will get hit by the meanest, nastiest comment in the thread below that you can imagine.

Very doubtful they are JWs.

Far more likely to be a brainwashed Authoritarian jackboot leftist you have offended in some way by not using the current acceptable nomenclature for some bullsh*t or other ...🤷‍♀️

I don't think Watchtower really keeps this website under their radar as nothing of significance is really posted here in the way of leaks. Watchtower seems to be more concerned about Reddit and YouTube, as well as monitoring some prominent websites like AvoidJW and JWfacts.

Ha! You couldn't be more wrong. Almost everything of any significance is stored here and what's more everyone who writes or owns any website or you tube channel etc has either woken up and begun their journey because of this site, or researched information found & collated on this site before creating their own content.

In other words this site is the grand daddy! It's played a part in the journey of almost all apostates (whether they know it or not) with few exceptions such as the like of Barbara Anderson & James Penton whom I could probably count on one hand!

WA bill mandating clergy report abuse clears Senate floor

What I don't understand is if a priest or Elder is told by the victim (or victims parents) they've been abused, there's absolutely nothing stopping that priest or Elder going to the police anyway!!

That's not a "confession" because a victim has no sin or crime to confess - it's just the report of a crime!!

Someone please tell me if I have this wrong?!

Diogenesister

Calling Jesus a "boy Piccaninny" is NOT going to go down well with Jamaican church ladies😱More L's for the Watchtower🤦‍♀️

What is this?

by Achille in

this image is from "the watchtower" july 2024 (study edition):i can't figure out what that object is that is between the sleeping apostles.wath is it?

a stick, a scroll of the scriptures?

....

Diogenesister

If you know this:

Finished M. It is said that the human mind has a tendency to see patterns even when they're not really there.

Then why conclude this?:

F.M. it's got to be demonic forces changing the digital art somewhere along the way before it goes to print

I can't see any faces in the background and as per the story, like Nathan Natas I would assume it's a (poorly drawn) sword (doesn't look that much like a willy) but I think it does look far more like a scripture scroll🤷‍♀️
