  I'm surprised they talk with anyone at the carts other than to smile, offer them free literature, and direct them to jw dot org.

  what do you guys think of the evangelicals theory about babylon the great and the last pope...just starting this big book out of curiosity...like 500 pages...it seems there is a lot of different thinking from the borg.

  Most of the time, the WT acts as if it's the only religious organization that pays any attention to Bible prophecy.

  When it does mention other views, it chides Christendom for its errors, ignoring the fact that (so far as I know) the WT itself has promoted more failed dates that any other person or organization within the same time frame.

  Never mind what we said yesterday. We have new light for you today.

  Meanwhile, the GB continues to see itself as the focal point of history and interprets everything in terms of themselves. No wonder they can't get anything right.

  I think Uncle was showing the elders the sort of things they would face in court if they mess with Uncle's JW family members.

  YouTube's 'Colder Pizza' Reads Hilarious Proselytizing Letter by Awakened PIMO JW

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the record, 'colder pizza' is the fifth youtuber to read this incredible letter.. jws hate this letter because it accurately expresses current watch tower teachings which they have embraced as "the truth" in language commonly used by jws in private conversation but would never express so candidly to non-jws.. most people have known at least one jw at some point in their life, but nobody knows what jws actually believe; therefore, they view jws as basically a harmless religion.

  this letter is designed to correct that common misapprehension.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7099bfvhvs&t=378s.

  Latest Watchtower tells THE TRUTH!!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the sheeple have always been indoctrinated to think of themselves as witnesses for jehovah.. but the 8m followers of the jw governing body are now told a biblical truth - that they are witnesses for jesus!.

  december 2022 study watchtower, p.21, par.

  17 = "one of the primary reasons why satan wages war against god’s people is that they “have the work of bearing witness concerning jesus.” (rev.

  Their "witness" is that Jesus is an archangel who picked them to run everything for him.

  Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?

  by Roger Kirkpatrick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

  The Pharisees added laws upon laws.

  Can we think of anyone who does this today?

  question for those who either aux pioneered pioneered

  by enoughisenough in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of you would have spent the hours "pioneering" if it weren't for the pats on the back and being looked up to as someone special in the congregation?

  i will admit that back in late 1970's i attempted to aux pioneer during a campaign because it was promoted and seemed the right thing to do,but i didn't get the hours and it was stressful trying to...and i didn't feel like a cheerful giver.

  i never attempted it again.

  CM's experience illustrates that the WT religion is driven by guilt trips and judgmentalism rather than by love and encouragement.

  2. beliefs

  yes, that is an actual question in the awake magazine.

  jw kids lives are already miserable enough trying to obey all the ignorant rules of the wt.. no sports, no school dance, no holidays.... just field service.

  as if that isn't enough.... let's take away their puppy dogs too!.

  Honest Hearted Ones

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are certain wt terms that sound biblical but really just puff up the pride.

  hundreds of times the wt has used the term honest-hearted in their literature.

  it sounds biblical, if for no other reason because we hear it so often in jw circles.

  In the WT version, "honest hearted ones" = JWs who believe and obey the GB without question.
