Why ? Because it was a self made construct by the top leaders of the WTS, a identification of who was in absolute power within the organization..

15I have read and re read acts chap.15 and for the life of me I can't find the part about the 1st century governing body!
by nowwhat? ini cannot find the verse where it talks about several self appointed men that went behind closed doors to render their decision regarding circumcision.
all i see is that it was the apostles, older men and the congregation that came to a decision.
perfect example of why we need the governing body today.

New Years Eve
by wozza inhere it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.. i do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .. though i've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time i did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.. i had to plan my driving trip to queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.. so i'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.. that's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.. i don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,i've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but i have made some for good.
some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.. the one big thing i am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.. so thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the ozzies on here.

Mt 10:18 / JWdom
by Magnum inmt 10:18 (nwt):.
and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations.. how has this worked out for jwdom?
i always got the impression that jws would be brought before governments and would give some kind of grand, impressive witness.

As its known the JWS gospel is wrought full of bullshit, which they think is the most honest (Righteous) and accurate by the WTS's own indoctrination.
They were and are witnesses for the Watchtower Corporation and its devised gospel which isn't inline with bible scripture.

How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?
by pistolpete ini have a few jw relatives who are true believers.
by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.
all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

The top leaders of the WTS/JWS were novice bible theologians who wanted to sell literature
.......end of story.
They created alluring bullshit for the masses, they somewhat succeeded .
The inter-net is awakening people to that fact.

The terminology used for non Jewish (gentiles) has continued for thousands of years even before the establishment of Israel/Judea.
Ancient civilizations existed well before the establishment of Judea or Israel by the Hebrews such as Egyptian or the Canaanites to name a couple.
A link for Carl Olof Jonson's book Gentile Times Reconsidered a good read

Maybe they should publish a book on how to fool millions, create power and wealth by the writings you make, could sell that one for few bucks I'm sure.

Where I live the government has made New Years partying at home or at restaurants and pubs very restricted, as in pubs have to close at 10 PM.
Lets just say people will be partying at home this time saying goodbye and good riddance to 2020.
2021 will be the year we say goodbye to Covid-19.
Sorry JWS your end time plague is going away, Armageddon is put on hold once again.

More JW left ideology examples
by neat blue dog inthe latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.
then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

Yes use the bible to cheer you up, there you'll find babies having their heads smashed against rocks.
The Hebrew nation invading another ancient civilization killing all the inhabitants except virginal girls and talking all their valuables.
Hebrew children who dishonored their parents being killed.
Hebrew girls who were raped being bought by the men who raped them from the girl's parents.
A lot of people being enslaved and murdered and not to forget people at Armageddon who are going to be burned alive by god when he hurls fire bombs down upon them, only later to have birds eating their dead carcasses.
JWS are especially waiting for that to happen, they proclaim its going to happen real soon now.
So yeah if you want some relief from being fatigued and depressed of being home bound because of this pandemic, pull out the bible and start a reading, you soon feel happy and refreshed.

.......because there wasn't any.
The WTS leaders took it upon themselves as Hebrew high priests with god's power at their hands and discretion.
Why would Jehovah choose false prophet apostates in 1919 ?
Oh yeah they said that as a means to give relevance and verification to the literature they published.
