KH's Still All Closed- How Bad is WT doing Financially?

by OnTheWayOut in

most churches are back to in-person worship.

not jehovah's witnesses.

is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

Announced at to US Bethel family this morning that the suspension of in-person organizational activities such as the use of Kingdom Halls and various in-person forms of the preaching work will need to remain in place until at least November 1.

Love the old worn-out whore analogy, so fitting and true.

The upcoming Splane rant that we are at War will be interesting. It’s not until the final talk on the Saturday program. He says that since Jesus was falsely arrested then that proves that getting arrested doesn’t mean anything. So don’t worry if you hear about the organization settling lawsuits out of court. It’s all scriptural or just a satanic lie. Pathetic!

Are JWs Enjoying Not Having To Go To Meetings and House To House?

friends

since this pandemic, especially, are witnesses fine with never having to go to another meeting or assembly again?

Most publishers in my area seem to enjoy everything better on Zoom, no more wasting gas or time commuting. We’ve gotten very lazy and will not want to go back to the old ways.

Eye-Opener

by ElderStuckin in

each eye-opener in my awakening had nothing to do with apostates.

it was always by looking directly at the so-called spiritual food that helped me awaken.. in 2019 they changed the wording of the second of two baptismal questions which are answered aloud before the audience.

now i realize that these questions have been adjusted over the years.

Each eye-opener in my awakening had nothing to do with apostates. It was always by looking directly at the so-called spiritual food that helped me awaken.

In 2019 they changed the wording of the second of two baptismal questions which are answered aloud before the audience. Now I realize that these questions have been adjusted over the years. I also know that the Bible does not state that any certain questions must be answered at baptism.

However, this adjustment was very telling. It’s like this cult is hiding in plain sight. How did they think they could do this and not raise eyebrows?

The previous version of question #2 was, “Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identity you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?”.

The new version removes the Holy Spirit. So they actually admit that they were lying to baptismal candidates for years about being directed by Holy Spirit.

Here is the question now, “Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization?”.

No explanation was given and nobody dares to ask. The blinded and brain-washed just keep right on. Absolutely nuts!

I know you are lying

by Me.Wonderful in

did you ever reach a point in field service , you knew you were lying to people ?

just before the pandemic , i had an encounter with a witness and i didn't let on who i was or my past.

i just very politely listened to his nonsense.

In 2013 beliefs were clarified regarding the meaning of the name Jehovah (w15 12/15 10-11; nwt 1735).

How could it be possible that Jehovah didn’t know what his name meant until 2013?

The answer was in the 2017 February study edition of the WT when they admitted the Governing Body can err in doctrinal matters (page 26, paragraph 12).

In other words, they are just imperfect men, making this stuff up as they go along.

It was also eye opening, that the Faithful and Discreet Slave did not know who they were either until 2013. So how can they be trusted with telling us anything?

Thank you for the supportive comments. I’ve been reading this forum for 10 years but never had the courage to join or post. I guess I thought lightening would strike.

One more major eye opening moment was the Australian Royal Commission. Seeing Geoffrey Jackson deceive and lie, made it obvious that Jehovah was not blessing his efforts. That was a pitiful display of the best the organization could produce. If there was any time for the true and living God to show his backing, that would have been it. But, Mr. Jackson was all alone trying to weasel his way out of every difficult question.

I just conducted a Bible Study in the new publication. I know it’s all a BIG FAT LIE but I am stuck for now.

I was 20 in 1985 when I got baptized. I had a standard Christendom upbringing. At age 19, my parents both died suddenly. I was heartbroken and unknowingly the perfect target for a cult that seemed to have all the answers.

I became a ministerial servant in 1988. I have been serving as an elder since 1993. I am also a regular pioneer and have attended the pioneer school 3 times and served at Bethel for 3 years.

I know for a fact now that Jehovah’s Witnesses are a deceptive, mind-controlling cult. I’m so sorry that so many of my Bible students were baptized. I’m also sorry that I disfellowshipped so many.

Hopefully, I will be able to share more information that might help others who are stuck to think clearly and to know they are not alone.

This is not the religion I joined in 1985. I know I never would have been baptized if the internet would have been available when I was studying.

Everything has changed, not just the embarrassing overlapping generation but also the identity of the faithful slave and even the meaning of God’s name. What’s next? They know 1914 is bogus too!
