  How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  i 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.

  hello, brothers.

  i don't speak english, but i really want to share what i have.

  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

  the 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.

  I 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? in

  i 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.

  .......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.

  All the local night spots have to close early tonight where I live so it looks like ordering in some Chinese and watch a couple of movies.

  Not bad, not great

  I suspect sometime in 2021 we will eventually return to normal social interactions,

  he’s unhappy with republican leadership.

  can you see trump leaving the gop and going rogue?

  I see him leaving politics for good.

  His backing support from the Republican party was always questionable.

  Why ? because they have been mentally indoctrinated to only accept the interpretations put out by the WTS , constrained with ignorance and inherent corruption by this religious publishing organization.
