  The Wwatchtower turning into a real laughing Stock

  by Overrated in

  1. jw

  over the years watchtower has turned into a real joke in the world scene.

  with the lawsuits, downsizing and decreasing numbers.

  what they use to be is gone and they will never recover the numbers they once had.

  WT has tried its darndest to get the world to respect and take it more seriously. That was part of its rebranding a few years ago when it adopted the JW.borg logo. And that endeavor of adding a mascot (JW.borg logo) may be backfiring on the organization in the worst way they could have imagined. The very definition of a mascot goes totally contrary to its own belief system.

  Mascot (logo): an animal, person, or thing adopted by a group as its representative symbol and supposed to bring good luck:

  Me thinks the attached WT mascot has turned out to be a curse rather than a blessing:

  Name an Amazing or Unexpected Fact

  i saw this on twitter the other day and it blew my mind.. tyrannosaurus is closer to us than to stegosaurus.

  that is, when tyrannosaurus lived, stegosaurus were already fossilized and those fossils were older than tyrannosaurus fossils are today to us, by a good 20 million years!.

  in a similar vein, the star wars prequel movies are now older than the original star wars movies were when those prequels were released.. how about that we're closer in time to cleopatra than she was to the pyramids being built.. what 'ya got?.

  An amazing exercise for someone with a lot of spare time...if you write out the letters (one, two, three etc) your not going to use the letter 'B' until you reach one billion.

  If you don't believe me...try it yourself!😊

  Bobby Hendriks sure did nail it @ 2:05 in the interview where he says that 'many have turned to alcohol, alcoholism & self medication' to cope with the self isolation brought on by being cooped-up for the past year due to the pandemic.

  Bobby has got to be speaking from experience. Bobby and all his fellow Bethelites have been confined, impounded & caged in their 600 to 800 square foot one bedroom studio-type cramped living conditions...not allowed to leave their apartments...not allowed to venture outside the WT compounds on penalty of being refused re-entry. Many a Bethelite has described it just shy of calling it...'like living in Hell'!

  Me thinks that WT has its share of 'basket cases' throughout its 120,000 congregations and numerous branch compounds who in fact are heavily self medicating as Bobby admits to in this interview.

  Someone who plays with knives will get himself cut...someone who plays with guns will get himself shot...a JW family member who tries to re-indoctrinate an XJW family member will get a mouthful of rebuttal!

  This son gave a lot to his father to think about in just a few sweet words...Awesome!

  The WT spokesman, David Hendriks says that in covid year 2020 150 people each day in the U.S. reached out to headquarters through their website.

  Really...WT considers that low (150) number something to brag/boast about!

  Holy schitt...this memorial talk was bad, boring & a waste of time!

  I noticed of the 120 frame participants...close to 50 (42%) of those participants had their video camera off.

  Spiritually Weak Ones Are Bad Association according to the Governing Body

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after you read the words of jesus in mark 2: 17, you will see that the contrast between the teachings of jesus and the governing body.. .

  you clearly read what's written in the bible, but the society is always twisting and bending scriptures to their benefit.

  here is stephen lett talking about ''spiritually weak'' members and twisting jesus's words teaching on sinners:.

  The one word that comes to mind is: Exemplary

  The WT has made it a practice of using this word when inviting publishers to be members of the Bethel family...to international conventions and the like. They specify only Exemplary Publishers need apply whenever they make announcements of upcoming special events.

  I remember back in the day & it's still done today that only exemplary publishers were to be interviewed during certain Kingdom Ministry parts. On the other hand any dufus could join the Ministry School.🤣

  It's almost as though WT has its own caste system in place. Spiritually strong publishers who are pillars are a must in this organization...spiritually weak not so much..Yes very pharisaical in nature!

  Not so far this week. It may not be read to the congregations...someone said it may have been addressed: To The Elders Only

  No problem...how many elders will read this letter and think to themselves: "The nerve of these a-hole Governing Body!"
