Hot damn...2 days of this! As is stated @ John 8:7:
"He that is without sin among you (or us), let him cast the first stone..."
can you add to this:.
"does anything about your religion trouble you as a jehovah’s witness or is it all good?
some of the things that would trouble me if i were a jehovah’s witness would include:.
Does anything about your religion as a Jehovah’s Witness trouble you...?
Now there's a loaded question!🤣
Take the 'No Blood Doctrine' for example. The JWs don't accept whole blood transfusions...Okay! But they do accept fractions of blood...right! Yet they won't accept Plasma by itself or any of the other components by themselves...red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets... which amount to fractions of whole blood. Platelets are less than 1% (1/100) of the whole blood...white blood cells also makeup about 1% (1/100) of whole blood...red blood cells makeup 45% (43/100) of whole blood and plasma brings up the rear with making up about 53% (53/100) of the whole. Now if you add these 4 fractions together (1/100 + 1/100 + 45/100 + 53/100) you get 100% Whole Blood.
I'm confused...so which fractions of blood do Jehovah’s Witnesses accept?
Now if the JW No-Bood teaching isn't a conundrum & brain-teaser ...what is?🤣
considering it is contacted in the open and i see other people engaging outdoors on other sales activities why is cart witnessing still not allowed?
are there any updates as regards returning to this activity any time soon ?.
The WT Governing Body, GB Helpers, Bethelite members, Circuit Overseers, Pioneers, Missionaries, Special Pioneers are all a bunch of winnies/wimps/cowards! I believe all these characters fall under the group that is otherwise known as 'The Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesse (The Order)'.
This entire cast of flunkies for nearly two years have been cooped-up behind their compound gated communities or apartment dwellings afraid to venture out of doors in fear of catching the sniffles! Compare them to hero-like members of such humane organizations as the following:
1) Doctors Without Borders
2) The American Red Cross
3) The International Red Cross
4) The International Medical Corp
5) Mèdecins Du Monte
6) Dircect Relief Mission
7) World Vision International
8) Your local Police Department
9) Your local Fire Department
10) Your local Health Care Providers (Doctors & Nurses)
11) Your local Food Distribution Centers (Grocery Store Workers)
12) Some Outstanding Religious Organizations
Many members of the above list from 1 through 12 have paid the ultimate price as they served for the best interest of their fellow man. On the other hand...'The Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesse' (The Order) will only come out of there hiding places after being assured that it is safe to do so...What Chicken-Shits!
do you think the jdubs will start up the door whacking again one day?.
there has to be many inside the org that are dreading having to do that again and as for the general public seeing this, it’s hard to imagine.
.
Ya well if they intend to go door to door any time soon they'll have to do it without the Awake & Watchtower magazines...last I heard they had to stop production for several months...Why?...Who in the hale knows!
some jokes i`ve heard and 1 or 2 i`ve made up .. the shortest man in the bible ?
knee high mia.
one with a facial affliction.?
Some of these jokes are older than when Pontius was a pilot
Punkofnice...I got a real kick out of your comment...that was really witty!🤣
i have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6315842470936576/annual-service-report-yet-another-analysis-big-trouble-wts.
here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.
D.O.C. says:
A real blessing was cutting the Public Talk from an hour to 45 minutes to just 30 minutes.
That speaks volumes...when Mother (WT) herself reduces the Elders' public talks in half...from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. It shows She can't trust her own Dudes to 'Carry A Tune' so to speak. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if she were cut the PublicTalk to 15 minutes in the not too distant future!
there's already been a couple of threads on the 2021 report with insightful comments, but i'm vain enough to want to start my own topic with some additional thoughts..... as others on the other thread noted, it's useful to compare the 2021 numbers not only to 2020 but also 2019 (the last non-pandemic report).. there are some really troubling (if you're a wt headquarters guy) news in the latest report.. 1) baptisms plummet.
2021 - 171,393. baptisms dropped 20% in 2020, and 30% more in 2021. the total drop from 2019 to 2021 is an amazing 44%.. one could argue that without in-person assemblies and conventions you'd expect baptisms to drop.
but....if someone really wants to get baptized, jws will find a way.
Either way is fine by me asp59...I sort like your image better though...depicting a swifter, sudden & unsuspecting demise...Yay!👍

...big trouble for WTS
It won't be long folks...give it 5 to 10 years or so...before the WTBTS goes by way of the Rambler Automobile...

"...Big Trouble For The WTS"
Sooo Happeee!
🎶 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶
Great work FFGhost!
look...i've had my beef with lloyd aka cedars and some of the stuff he says or does but equally i respect what he is trying to do and what he has achieved in terms of waking people up.. he intimated he had mental health issues years ago but his video today is brutal...i see pain in his eyes and he is suffering.
his family come first and the man needs to heal.. yes he has issues that many on here see but its not the man that is important but his work.. but the man needs time to heal mentally and i wish he does so.
he deserves that despite the feelings and things that have happened in the past with the exjw community.. he has done so much for the exjw community in general that i hope all give him a little clack and he returns.. if any of us did what he did we may be in the same boat but none of us do...see past the man and see his work but equally the man is suffering and it is pretty sad...i hope he gets better soon.
"Poor Lloyd"...not so fast!
Me thinks 'Mother' may have had a private word with him...either directly or indirectly through one of her worldly legal connections and made Lloyd Evans a handsome offer (an early retirement plan) he couldn't refuse!
