Fisherman: Obviously JW make mistakes but they do their best.
Even a broken watch is still of some use...I have an old watch that looks nice...I get a lot of compliments when I wear it & it's tells the right time twice a day! 😀 😃 🙂

20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses
by Vanderhoven7 ini don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.
that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.
unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

I don’t understand how Jehovah’s Witnesses can rightly claim:
21) That first and foremost what determines whether a brother qualifies to serve in the capacity of Ministerial Servant or Elder is the amount of time/hours he reports on his monthly time sheet.
When a C.O. visits the congregation and meets with the Elder Body to see if a certain male member of the congregation qualifies for appointment...the very first thing he asks for is the brother's publisher card to see how many WT field ministry hours he reports on monthly. Of lesser importance to the C.O. is how he measures up to the Christian character qualifications set out in the Bible at Titus 1:5-9 and 1Timothy 3:1-7 where no hourly requirement is even mentioned!

Elder Arrangement
by vienne inhi everyone, (including the person who down votes all of my posts).
as some of you know, i'm working toward my master's degree.
comments from those associated when the elder arrangement was introduced would help me with a research paper.. what was the reaction among adherents?

Balaamsass2: "...The second round of appointees had never read the bible even once..."
I would say there are a ton/high percentile of JW elders today who to this day have not read the Bible from cover to cover.
I remember a C O. visit where he asked our Servant Body how many among us had read the entire Bible. Of the 15 or so among us only a few raised their hands. The C.O. stated he was asking all congregation Servants in his circuit the same question and related he was getting the same negative results from the other Servant Bodies.
The C.O. went on to admit that when he had first applied to serve as a C.O. one of the questions asked of the applicant was if he had read the entire Bible. He hadn't at the time. So he sets out for the next two months or so to concentrate on reading the Bible. The sole purpose for his reading the Bible was so that he himself could ✔️ (check) that question as yes!
Any wonder why the WTBTS has a bunch of 🤡 clowns serving as elders throughout the borg! :) :) :)

For each senior JW that dies..that's $8.25/month less that goes to the WTBTS! How do they offset that loss? More Caleb & Sophia cartoons that push/drive infants on becoming li'l Publishers...that adds back the previous $8.25 loss!

I recently got a call from an elder...two of them wanting to do a Shepherding Call no doubt due to my lack of in-person meeting attendance. "Let's just do your Shephering Call on the phone while we're talking" was my reply. I can tell he wasn't pleased with that. After a long pause he asks: "How are you doing"? I told him in no uncertain terms that I was happy and doing really great! Then suddenly he had to go..."Good-Bye"!

3. on the other hand, some brothers and sisters—younger and in good health—have more favorable circumstances that may allow them to attend christian meetings regularly at the kingdom hall.

What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?
by Vanderhoven7 init seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.
who is the way, the truth and the life?
(john 14:6).

In the words of Rodney King who had just gotten the crap beaten out of him by the LAPD:
"People, I just want to say, can't we all just get along?"
Let's all just agree that the original Bible in no way, shape or form emphasizes/mentions the hybrid term 'Jehovah'!
😁🤣😂

No, because they live in a compound...a guarded, gated, walled community & they don't get out much! 😊 😀😃
