What Could Jehovah’s Special Provision Be to Save His People From the Wicked Watchtower Society?

by MADMARY in

i was baptized as one of jehovah witnesses in 1986. then in 2003, i disassociated myself officially with a letter.

but i did not stop reading the bible or believing in god.

but i have noticed everyone’s reaction here is very different to the great wickedness of the watchtower society.. some of us do not believe in god anymore, and threw their bibles away completely.

jwleaks

Why do jehovah's people have to be within or under the control of the Watchtower Society to begin with? Why can't they be trapped by Sea Org instead of trapped by JW Org? Why can't they be Buddhists for whom the light has not yet gotten brighter?

The bible says that god will take out a people for 'his' name but we don't know exactly what 'his' name is. Besides, god is the one that will take out a people for 'his' NOT a group of people will decide to take on 'his' name and claim to be 'his' people.

If Apostle Paul had been living in our time, would he have written certain things he did?

by venus in

1) he wrote woman are not qualified to teach (1 corinthians 14:34).

in my experience, i have been taught by both teachers—male and female.

some of the female teachers were too wonderfully effective.

jwleaks

The apostle Paul taught to be 'all things to all people.' (1 Cor. 9:19-23) He simply taught a message that appealed to his audience at the time in the first century.

INTERVIEW WITH ALEX RANCE after Grand Final win on almost leaving Richmond for the JW cult:

"We are a champion team now, we have proven that with these medals," Rance said from the victorious Richmond rooms, as a hefty spray of champagne covered his face.
"It's big, it's big. I was very close (to leaving footy), I am glad I didn't because this is a great feeling being covered in alcohol. I am going to be sticky as in about half an hour but I couldn't care less.
"I was very close (to walking away from footy), I had a lot of things lined up but I am glad I didn't go."
...
Rance was asked about next season, despite it being minutes after tasting the ultimate success this year. He offered what words he could on the challenge of keeping this "special" group of Tigers together.
"I couldn't be more proud of the boys ... I love them all ... I hope not (that anyone leaves), after you win a flag it is pretty rare so I am going to just enjoy the moment, I can't think that far ahead."

Leah Remini Scientology series might tackle Jehovah's Witnesses in season 3

by jp1692 in

i've seen comments by some on leah's expose on scientology: aftermath.

she actually won an emmy for this show.

rumor is that she might take on jehovah's witnesses in season 3. .

jwleaks

I believe that Scientology and the JWs both registered on the same day as religions to take advantage of newly introduced US tax exempt laws for religious charities.

New Light - God chose the Bible students as his org long BEFORE the official inspection in 1919

by doubtfull1799 in

was watching this recently done new history of the society - here it is on youtube if you missed it when it first came out:.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv82k1z7n_4&feature=youtu.be.

lots of contradictory and nutty comments - for instance stating one minute that 1914 proved such a faith strengthening event because it fulfilled all their predictions, how encouraged they were, and then a few minutes later claiming the opposite - that many were disappointed and shocked because their expectations were not met!.

jwleaks

Evidently jehovah read the jesus inspired Finished Mystery book, published by Watch Tower in 1917, which made, on page 144, the following claim in relation Revelation 8:3

"And another angel. -- Not the "voice of the Lord," mentioned in the preceding chapter, but the corporate body -- the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, which Pastor Russell formed to finish his work. This verse shows that, though Pastor Russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the Harvest work. The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society is the greatest corporation in the world, because from the time of its organization until now the Lord has used it as His channel through which to make known the Glad Tidings."

Ftn. The word 'organization' is used but not in the context that David Splane used it.

marriage"equality" survey, Australia.

the australian govt has set out a survey to see if people are in favour of changing the marriage act to include same sex couples.. hm here have received their papers?

the survey promises to be anonymous but has a substantial bar code at the bottom... anonymous yeah right.. the marriage act once said "two people" then a previous prime minister changed it to say "man and woman" all that is needed to amend this situation as required by the gay community is change it back again to "two people" there, done and dusted.. and millions of dollars need not be wasted on this survey which is not compulsory as is voting in australia.

can anyone here who still goes to kh tell us if this has had a ruling from the platform?.

FYI - Australian Senator Derryn Hinch has never voted in his entire life (73 years) not even for himself.

30 years ago, in an Australian congregation I was in, the elders presented to the congregation a choice of two types of floor coverings for the kingdom hall. After much discussion the body of elders put the decision to the congregation for "a vote". Hardly anyone voted for either floor covering. Why? JW's do not vote.

Protect Your Family??

by Tech49 in

here is an article in the current study copy of the wt.

tell me your thoughts and i will tell you mine.!

this is a topic that i am very sensitive about, as i could never see not protecting my family, even if that meant using whatever means at hand to do so!

The book Hitler’s Table Talk, 1941-1944: Secret Conversations records Hitler as having said the following sometime between February and September 1942:

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty."

There's a reason why the governing body do not want the subjugated to possess arms.

The JW Blood Issue: Resolved!

by loyal2truth in

i just completed writing a series of 8 blog posts dismantling the watchtower's blood policies.. it was my goal to prove that the blood ban is neither scriptural nor sensible.

this is a rewrite of the series of articles i contributed some years ago to the now defunct jehovahswitnessblog site of james peyton (you may also know james as the founder of jwpodcast.

) even though this is a very serious topic, i tried to stay true to the humorous mood "tenny pajamas" always managed to maintain on his site.

jwleaks

loyal2truth: Great reference on whole blood and blood fractions. Thanks.
