Thursday from Thor's Day.
Friday from Freya's Day.
the cult demands that the "sheeple" avoid anything which has "pagan origins," so for consistency, the wtbts should come clean and abandon the use of the pagan gregorian calendar, and adopt the biblical hebrew calendar.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gregorian_calendar#months.

published december 22, 2022. the state manager in oslo and viken has decided to withdraw jehovah's witnesses registration as a religious community under the religious society act.. .
we sent a notice to jehovah's witnesses about possible loss of registration on october 25 this year.
This also means that society loses its marriage authority.
how can i report a corruption in a kingdom hall?
can i escalate this to the jw headquarter?
any suggestions are appreciated..
You would be better off going to your local newspaper if you really want things to get done.
if you drink macallan whisky, at armageddon you will become righteous immediately, a son of god, brother of christ, an immortal king/priest, and to cap it all, help all the un-righteous minions on earth grow to perfection gradually over the next 12,000 months.
no such 'growing' needed for macallan drinkers!
study watchtower september 2022 par.
27 And taking a cup of 35 year single malt scotch, he offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: “Drink out of it, all of you, 28 for this means my servants hard earned money, which is to be poured out in behalf of the Governing Body for forgiveness of your sins. - Matthew 26:27-28, NWT
this came to me today.
at first jesus's own brothers didn't believe in him....thought he was crazy...can you imagine him shunning them for apostasy?
i would think disbelieving in jesus would be far worse than disbelieving the gb.
Jesus conducted miracles and his own brothers doubted him. Not a sin.
Sadducees stated Jesus' miracles were from the demons. That was an unforgivable sin.
Conclusion - denying the Governing Body is Jesus appoint slave from 1919 to the present is not heresy or a sin.
i like to check google news for "jehovah" every month to see what's new...".
man suspected of sexually assaulting a child, search warrant executed at kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses near woodland park" "teller county, colo. (kktv) - a 60-year-old man is suspected of sexually assaulting a child in the woodland park area.. the teller county sheriff’s office announced the arrest of shawn lance swisher on tuesday.. “a search warrant of swisher’s residence was also completed at the time of his arrest,” part of a news release issued by the teller county sheriff’s office reads.
“the second search warrant was executed at the kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses near woodland park.
This is the second time I have seen law enforcement executing a Search Warrant on a Kingdom Hall this year. 2 different Kingdom Halls in 2 different states. What I can also add is, in all my years, I have never seen a Search Warrant executed on any other religion except cases of extreme abuse in cult compounds.
for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.
even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.
even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.
My family and I commonly celebrate birthdays a day before or a day later as it helps with schedules so everyone can attend. It doesn't "dishonor" the persons be doing so. Just the opposite - we all have a good time celebrating our family member's birth.
There is no law or tradition that demands birthdays be celebrated or that they not be celebrated or that they can only be celebrated on the actual calendar day of birth.
Jehovah's Witnesses are the true masters of making up whatever they want as "truth" and then grasping at straws to justify it with erroneous reasoning and taking scripture out of context.
a friend is just after sending this to me.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/zcrssl/schism_in_jehovahs_witnesses_over_secret_abuse/.
Just to be sure I read this article correctly; The claim is that the Watchtower is putting the JW membership on notice that they are aware of PIMO members and the bodies of elders have been tasked with sniffing them out?
mark jones explains the watchtower gospel much better than i can.. "the good news that christians in the first century preached was the birth, death and resurrection of jesus christ; that all those who believed in him were saved and reconciled to god through the death of his son.. unfortunately jehovah’s witnesses) have been led to believe it is something bizarrely different.
the good news according to the watchtower society is as follows:.
the the good news (according to jehovah’s witnesses).
Then for a long time he did nothing until 1919 when he chose the Watchtower society publishing company to be his channel of communication on earth. 3 He fed false information to the Watchtower leaders over the decades “as a cleansing” to sift out “those serving a date”. This is known as “new light”. 4
So, according to the Watchtower, Jesus is a lazy do-nothing and a liar.
