  Commenting Ban?

  do you think the watchtower will ban commenting at the meetings one day?

  if you are pimo, you might want to try to make some comments to make others think about the “truth”!

  It's one of the WT's main indoctrination tools.

  Only a parroting or mirroring of the printed material is allowed.

  Any deviation gets you marked, cut off from commenting, or even brought before a JC.

  Do Jehovah's really have true Bible studies?

  frequently asked questions.

  if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

  jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

  If you don't become a JW, you'll be wiped out by fireballs at Armageddon, but don't feel pressured to join...

  Just how much of a dramatic FLOP is this NEW LIGHT?

  your opinion, please, on the above video.

  1. before jesus, humans were judged either by the law (jews and converts) or by natural law (noahide law).

  I thought WT doctrine (based on a mistranslation of Romans 6:7) was that people's deaths acquit them of their past sins (the sins they committed in this life) and that those who make into into the 1000 year kingdom will only be judged on the basis of what they do during that kingdom rule. People will die during the millennial kingdom and there will be a final rebellion at the end, so quite a few of them will be doing vile things, right?

  Sometimes I wonder if the GB understand what they have been teaching for decades.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | february 2022. study article 6. do you trust in jehovah’s way of doing things?.

  15 as the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in jehovah’s way of doing things as never before.

  during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.

  I wonder how many of the GB really believe their pronouncements come from Jehovah.

  Congregation in PA sues over mandatory reporting

  ivy hill congregation of jehovah's witnesses is currently suing the pa department of human services.

  it requests "a declaration that its elders are entitled to" clergy privilege, or, in the alternative,.

  to the extent that the clergyman privilege is determined to exclude its elders on the basis that they are "members of [a] religious organization[] in which members other than the leader thereof are deemed clergymen or ministers," the court declare the statute to be unconstitutional.

  A few years ago, I talked with a Pennsylvania elder who assured me that the WT obeys mandatory reporting laws.

  I wonder what he's thinking now... or if he's thinking...

  What are the maim lies Apostates tell about Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower

  main not maim.

  picked this answer up on quora.

  please add other apostate "lies" you are aware of.. "jehovah's witnesses cannot refute the facts in the so-called “ lies” against them, and when they do, they shamelessly lie and tell half-truths to defend their mind-controlling sect.. their new york based leaders tell them that anything negative said about their sect is a “ lie “ from “ mentally diseased, bitter apostates”.. jws are yet to come to terms with the fact that we are in the information age and they can no longer get away with lying to protect their organisation.. for example, one of the “ lies “ told about them is that they shun anyone who leaves the cult , including family members, including their own children.. another “ lie “ is that jws are ready to allow their children to die rather than accept a life-saving blood transfusion.. the child sex abuse coverup in the cult is also said to be a “lie “.

  That they won't look at evidence which shows the Watchtower is wrong about anything.

  After 1975 came and went, an elder told me, "My service to Jehovah isn't tied to a date."

  I said, "That's funny. A year ago all you could talk about was that date."

  COs know that if they just tell all the elders, "You guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work," they won't be COs very long.

  The GB is always demanding more of JWs -- more field service hours, more members, better attendance at meetings, more members pioneering, more people attending the Memorial, more sacrificial donations of money, and so on.

  This puts a lot of pressure on COs to show better results, and COs pass that on to the elders.
