  Bible Reading Schedule, Dumbed Down?

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.

  does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?

  at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..

  1975 !

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  how many of you here remember 1975?

  i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.

  those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.

  does anyone feel the same way?

  i am not anti-video, just feeling overload.

  since the jw organization started video production there has been such a flood of it that no one can, or possibly even wants to keep up with it all: some thoughts and questions i"ve had -.

  i like to take a peek at the kids over on reddit every week or so.. this thread caught my eye:" curious….

  do any ex jw or pimo, still believe the world is ending.

  i see people who have never been witnesses think that the world will end soon and they say things like “jesus is coming soon”….

  PIMA is best so it’s not a shock to the system if the tower collapsed

  by JohnR1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.

  mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.

  i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.

  Her Handbag Told Her to Stop Preaching

  ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

  forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

  Any reason for my mother and I not to go back, this is one of them.

  by Truth and Justice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi to all, i have been away from the organization since the 1980's and as it seems, i haven't missed a thing.

  i have seen a deterioration take place that is continually getting more dramatic than i have ever seen.

  the thumbing down or the minimizing of spiritual food is reason enough that people are starving for something good.

  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.
