jws often try to justify their religion as being the only true religion.
questions like.
which other organization is doing this or that?
I think we need to come up with short replies to WT thought stoppers.
One might be, "I don't understand why you call your religion 'the truth' when so many of their key teachings have changed just within our lifetime."
I'd like to hear others' ideas.
“1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.
according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.
it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.
I think the WT dropped the Adam-Eve creation gap explanation a year or two after 1975.
They didn't announce it, of course,
They just stopped mentioning it and hoped the 1975 fiasco would fade away.
hey.
does anyone else dread attending (in person or on zoom) the memorial months in advance?.
literally as soon as new year hits, i feel sick and super anxious, and i've realised it's because of the memorial, which i only attend because of family, who kinda tell me the reason they have bad health is cuz i left the jw sevel years ago..
Jesus said to eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of him.
The Watchtower tells 99% of JWs to refuse to eat the bread and drink the wine in remembrance of him.
i can agree that satan doesn't see god as a good ruler as stated at gen 3:1-5. he doesn't seem to see gods laws as right or good.
but whether there is an understanding/agreement between god and satan afterward to the effect that he can take the mantle of rulership to show whether his style is best is doubtful.
that conclusion is probably reached because god hasn't destroyed satan, and he is also called the ruler of the world in the bible.
The Watchtower uses the sovereignty issue to keep JWs in line.
Whose side are you on?
Us v. them.
Loyal followers of Jehovah v. evil apostates...

My advice would be to break free of it and just not go.
But that's a call you have to make based on your relationship with your family.
Are things going to get worse with them if you decide not to go?
They already know you've stopped being a JW, right?
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.

In Watchtowerland, only the latest "truth" matters.
JWs quickly forget the past.
It never happened, or it's been distorted by evil apostates...
Nothing to see here... move along...

Hellothere,
The GB is still deluded from reality.
They think God has anointed them to rule over his kingdom with Jesus.
a topic was started over at reddit directing people's attention to a depiction on jw.org of the governing body.
it's not in their publication, only on the website under the topic of "what is the governing body?
but who are these guys in the depiction?.
Better for the organization to have them silhouetted this way.
When JWs can see and hear them on YouTube it becomes clear that they are just men, not anointed oracles.
breaking news!
every jehovah’s witness elder in the 67 counties of pennsylvania are being given notice by state attorney's office to turn over any & all documents relating to child sex abuse cases!
watch attached video beginning at time-stamp 101:00...pay particular attention to what is said after 103:00.this is wild!.
Subpoenas are court orders requiring a person to come and testify, in this case before the grand jury that's investigating the WT.
A subpoena duces tecum is a special kind of subpoena which requires the person to deliver up records in his or her control. That may or may not be followed up by requiring testimony, depending on what is or isn't produced.

This could be a long process.
I think Phase 1 of the subpoenas is focusing on getting records rather than on getting testimony from elders and ex-elders.
Once the Attorney General's staff goes through those records and identifies situations where the elders did nothing or covered up abuse then will come Phase 2 where they will have questions prepared for elders and ex-elders regarding what they did or didn't do, what COs or the Branch advised them to do, etc.
