what have you not heard lately?.
.... no discussion on “babylon’s fall”.
by 1919 it was apparent that jehovah had passed judgment on christendom—and indeed on all false religion.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the WBTS taught that first the governments of the world turn on false religion and THEN they would turn against "Jehovah's people."
That's quite problematic for the WBTS. They are stoking the flames of fear, as seen in the 2019 Regional Convention video, using the events that have taken place in Russia. This produces a problem. A cart before the horse problem.
Maybe this is why they have backed off the Babylon the Great has Fallen line.
.
any thoughts?.

WBTS teach the government and their police are bad. They're coming to get you!
WBTS use same government and police to enforce copyright laws to remove their videos from online sources.
Dear WBTS - hypocrite much?
have any of you just had a recent circuit overseer visit?
we have him this week and his opening night was a doozy.
his whole talk focused on persecution.
Music is meant to induce an emotion response. Take the same video, but this time edit in the Benny Hill theme song music and see what the effect is. Emotional manipulation - it's what cults do.
f**kin yeah - get in!!.
spurs came back from 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate to win the second leg against ajax 3-2, going through to the final on away goals.. lucas moura completed his hat-trick and scored the winner in the 5th minute of stoppage time.
well done to the manager and all the players for never giving up.. #coys .
Anybody but Man UTD.

"the european parliament has also said the decision to re-run the election on 23 june would end the credibility of democratic elections in turkey.".
i haven't heard the e.u.
Vote until you get it right.
when i asked my jw relatives about why they are the chosen one, she said one of the reasons can be found in mark 7:6-9. jw’s stand firm in rejecting all man made traditions including christmas, halloweenc and birthdays whereas no other religion does so.
.
what are your opinions about this?
Weddings and wedding rings are man made traditions. Witnesses have know problem with those things. Weddings are not Biblical nor the practice of exchanging rings.
In the Biblical ancient Israel (versus the historical Israel) when a man and a woman married, they just walked around town telling everyone they are now husband and wife. Their final destination was wherever their reception was being held.
on saturday i got two awakes from a trolley that were issue one 2018.
I bet the day comes that the WBTS has one magazine sized publication and one book for study. It wouldn't surprise me if they end up contracting with a publishing company to have it produced.
snippets of two talks by co at ca and during his visit to a congregation in ohio.
fear mongering at it's best.
has anyone else heard their co say the same nonsense?.
Does such a statement shock me? Not at all. If he had not made such a statement I am sure he would have been reprimanded.
I remember attending a CA in 2006 in which I young, uber elder, former Bethelite that I grew up with gave a talk and made a similar statement. After he got off the stage he told my brother in law that the "end" was decades away.

My farther did these news/documentary projects for the WTBS. He once did a study on the number of mentally ill people who were Witnesses. The number was rather high. He was told to bury his project.
"people who were born in 1914 will see the armageddon" i heard it so many times.. "alex you left!
you are making a mistake.
the armageddon is nearly here" i heard it so many times.. it is 2019. no sign of the end.. i can make the same post in 2029 and 2039 and 2049. sadly in 2049 there will be crazy jws telling me the end is tomorrow.
Looking back I now understand the statement "There's no such thing as a coincidence."
I recall that in the mid-1990s we were all expecting the Great Tribulation to start at any moment. Every tragedy in the world was linked to the End of Days. Just about the time the clock was going to hit 00:00 the WBTS pulls a rabbit out of its hat - Overlapping Generations. The Governing Body, the referees of our life, put time back on the clock and set the clock to ??:??PM.
I remember how people left the organization over this and couldn't comprehend it at that time. Mostly because I was a kid just out of high school. No it all makes sense and I can see the man behind the curtain.
