May the media coverage get the org to back off. More and more victims should put them in the spotlight.

Who Starts the Great Tribulation - Jehovah or Satan?

Purely from a scriptural point of view?(Revelation 7:14) "And he said to me: "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation..."
Context - from the same discussion just a few minutes earlier -
(Revelation 2:22) "Look! I [Jesus] am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation. . ."
J.W.'s are taught that the "unrepeatable" tribulation of Matthew 24:21 is the one described in Revelation 7:14.
Hello "brothers"!!!!! Such a tribulation was never to occur again - according to Jesus.
But if the Guardians of Doctrine in Brooklyn say differently, they must be right!
Just "wait on Jehovah". If it's wrong, it'll get corrected. :)

No words can alleviate your anguish. I just hope your wife makes a good recovery and loses the pain quickly.
Don't waste your mental faculties on the cult-members' attitudes if you can help it. They're not worth the time.

The video for "Free Labour", to be followed shortly by the sequel, "Donate More Cash for the New Branch" - because all of the money raked in from Worldwide Work contributions, congregation's monthly excess-cash donations, Kingdom Hall sell-offs, various Branch sell-offs, $1.25 billion from Brooklyn property sell-offs, and the unknown mi££ion$ which the London properties will accrue, will not be enough to finance the construction of a wonderful new house of God on toxic land in Essex, England!
Dig deeper into your wallets, suckers.

As a fader, I quickly realised that fellow J.W.'s were recoiling and baulking at my sharing truths with them (telling them about the org's corruptions) and that simply asking them questions about a topic rather than making statements was far more effective.
FACT: J.W.'s absolutely detest being given any new information which has not originated from Brooklyn.
Plant little seeds - acorns & tall oaks stuff.

Counterfeit Christians
by Chook incounterfeit christian beliefs can only be discovered with a close look.
the problem with anything counterfeit is that it looks genuine even under close scrutiny.
us 100 dollar bill is the most counterfeit currency, some of the best bank staff have trouble sorting genuine from real.

Matthew 25:31,32 : "When the Son of man comes in his glory,..............and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."
Jesus needn't bother!!! The org - and by indoctrination, every J.W. - judges everyone as a false Christian if they're not "dedicated to the G.O.D's. in Brooklyn.

The self-proclaimed "faithful slave" used to claim that the "anointed remnant" still on earth were doing this marking work.
w83 12/15 p. 17 par. 6 - "Today there is only a small remnant of the members of the “royal priesthood” yet in the flesh on earth, according to the world report from the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal on March 29, 1983. These serve together as the figurative linen-clad man, who does the marking of worthy ones in their foreheads."
In a very recent Watchtower they abandoned this pathetic doctrine and now give the credit of such marking to Christ himself!
WT June 2016, pp.16,17 Questions From Readers: "In the modern-day fulfillment, the man with the secretary’s inkhorn represents Jesus Christ, the one behind the scenes who marks those who will survive. The great crowd will receive their mark when they are judged as sheep during the great tribulation. This will put them in line to receive everlasting life here on earth."

IBSA (Watchtower UK) property portfolio for sale
by betterdaze inbehold: ibsaproperty.com“the extensive ibsa property portfolio in north london is now being brought to the market.”ibsa moved to the leafy london suburbs of mill hill in the late 1950’s.
since then, expansion has required the acquisition of further properties in the immediate area, and in some cases further beyond.
in recent years, relocation to a single site which would offer greater economy of operation became more than a matter of interest, and in 2014 a suitable site in chelmsford, essex was purchased.

The biggest elephant in the room which J.W.'s haven't even recognised yet (let alone talk about) is this - the WTBTS now appears to have more cash than any time in its history, coupled with its lowest running costs ever.
I say "appears" because I'm still convinced (until shown differently) that the org's global fleecing was forced on them, and is based on need, not greed. All that money is going somewhere - but not into "preaching the good news."

Oct 2021 Time Capsule
by LevelThePlayingField inwhat do you think the jw religion will be like in oct 2021?
if we go back five years from oct 2016 you get 2011. there was no jw.org, really pretty much no tablets, most people were using paper copies for everything.
now that's all changed.

Since the WTBTS is primarily about money, expect to see them create new revenue streams to compensate for the very many J.W.'s who cease contributing cash due to their religion being exposed as a money grabbing, pedophile protecting, real estate empire which portrays itself as "the true religion."
They'll have to recommend to the sheeple a "direct donation arrangement" whereby they will know who is financially contributing and who is not. They do it for field service hours - money is more important!

Oh the irony! The elder, a car accident, and me....
by stuckinarut2 inoh this is just worth sharing!.
so , as many know, it has been two years since i have attended any meetings, conventions, etc....nothing...cold turkey.. the hassles and problems the elders threw our way were monumental....so many details i could share, but suffice it to say, we stood firm and kept our dignity and poise and reminded them of "appropriate boundaries ".
one elder in particular has since spared no effort in ensuring that malicious gossip and slander has been spread so that witnesses have avoided us like the plague!.

Excellent example to give to someone who's supposed to "take the lead".
You forcefully proved to him and his family what Jesus himself said would be the identifying characteristic of a true Christian - showing love for one another.
It was never about preaching the good news of the kingdom - despite what J.W.'s generally believe.
