Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025

by raymond frantz in

the following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.

each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.

we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

There are no dead in heaven. Any in heaven are alive.

@Rattigan:
You do realize that Watchtower has indoctrinated you don't you? There are lots of dead people are in heaven. I'm going there when I die.

whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. - 2 Cor. 5

I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? - Rev. 6: 9-11

i have been engaging in bible study with my bible study conductor for the past two years.

i am on lesson 48 of enjoy life forever book and it is only a matter of time before i complete lesson 60 which is the final lesson.

my bible study conductor informed me today that once i complete lesson 60, i won’t be receiving any more studies as i have been given all of the information that i need to make a decision.

I thought that the good news was that they were bringing Jehovah’s word.

@FallenWinter

The good news is supposed to be the literal Millennial Reign of Christ according to Watchtower. But for practical purposes, the good news is really themselves starring as God's Sole Channel of Communicatiion. They are the "word" of Jehovah in their estimation.

2/3 of Evangelicals believe in a literal kingdom of God on earth, pretty much same as JW's do. tHowever, he good news in the church age is reconciliation with God. You can join his family and become his son or daughter with promises of inheritance and eternal life.

This is the primary biblical theme WT wants to hide from you by telling you that the new covenant "for the forgiveness of sins" isn't available to you. (See Mt. 26: 27-28)

God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the ministry of reconciliation.... we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. - 2 Cor. 5

John 1: 12 - as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God

This is what you are missing.

So I guess what you’re saying is that after studying with the Jehovah’s Witnesses for months on end you still don’t know (or agree) on what their good news is.

I find that very interesting.

@ Fallen Winter

You said the JW’s preach the “good news”. Can you explain what that good news is ?

philip brumley wt 7/2025 experience

by andr in

how encouraging one finds the experience of a liar.

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-july-2025/the-battle-belongs-to-jehovah/.

philip brumley is a legal counsel associated with the jehovah's witnesses organization, having worked for about 40 years at their world headquarters' legal department.

Sea Breeze

In 2023, he was fined over $154,000 for making false statements related to the involvement of the Watch Tower

No surprise that an appeals court found him to be a liar as well.

Jehovahs Witnesses are expert liars, from the top down.

119 Hours....

by onacruse in

...until i meet the most incredible, wonderful, fascinating lady i've ever encountered in my life!

bikerchic, you have captured my heart and make me happier than i've ever been, ever, ever, ever!

So I did the chicken thing and I left and I hate to this day that I left him alone in his time of need.
He didn't deserve to be left alone, he had helped me so much building my confidence up after years of abuse from not only the religion I was raised in but the years of life with an abusive husband who tore me down at every opportunity. I should have been there for him in his time of need and I regret so much that I wasn't.

Were yall married?

Women expect (and rightly so) that men be strong, protective, a good provider and avoid things that might damage the family or marriage.

When men appear weak, it puts women off. For the most part, men with deep emotional wounds should try to work that out in a group of other men to not overly burden their wife.

It is not practical to expect a spouse to be the primary source of healing.

Maybe so. But one of the world's empires of false religion appears to be tilting a little, if not falling.

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those

that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed,

and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you

have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is

God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the

servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer” (Romans 13:1-4 ESV).

BABYLON THE GREAT IS NOT FALLING ANYMORE? (NEW LIGHT FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING)

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/rsbfa_7lqv4?si=muuxmgtll1n1ifad.

the watchtower’s babylon the great: a shrinking reality?.

so this latest annual meeting introduced a new idea about babylon the great, and here is the part from geoffrey jackson's talk we real need to dig in and consider it's ramifications..... so you’ve got to hand it to them; they know how to keep things interesting with their ever-evolving interpretations and, of course, those classic "adjustments" in understanding.

Sea Breeze

Now, let’s break this down. Why would the Watchtower want to position themselves in a less extreme light? Well, for starters, they don’t want to look like a group of doomsday fanatics.

Well, its too late for that.
