  The Cry of Peace And Security

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a bit late in coming, but i have a new article on the cry of peace and security at https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/peace-and-security.php.

  this was prompted by trump using the term peace and security a few times in 2017 and 2018, and the excitement this generated amongst jehovah's witnesses.

  i would love to see other quotes you like on this topic, or texts and experiences..

  Paul, you wrote: “ When the United Nations recognised 1986 as an International Year of Peace, Watchtower cautiously aligned this with 1 Thess 5:3.”

  The WT also hedged their spiritual bets on 1986 with the JWs only book ‘Worldwide Security Under the “prince of peace”’ and the ‘True Peace and Security-How Can You Find It?’ books released in 1986 just in case.

  Fred Franz was the president of Watch Tower Pa.

  The Motive of the Governing Body

  by jwfacts in

  i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

  however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

  it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

  Great article Paul.

  Suggested change:

  “All the Governing Body appointed since 2000 were raised indoctrinated, some from early childhood onwards, to believe the end would be within their lifetime”

  Thanks Petra!

  What a sickening letter directed towards the most vulnerable elderly JWs in Spain.

  [QUOTE]: “Dear elderly brothers, please be assured how precious you are in Jehovah’s eyes, the One that will always “support” you for your integrity and loyalty.”

  Translation: Neither the governing body nor the Watch Tower Society will “support” you during the coronavirus.

  Or as Geoffrey Jackson would put it: Dear elderly brothers, it would be presumptuous of the governing body to “support” you for your integrity and loyalty as the Bible clearly shows that it is Jehovah the One that will always “support” you.

  recognizing that their states have one integrated regional economy, delaware governor john carney, new york governor andrew m. cuomo, new jersey governor phil murphy, connecticut governor ned lamont, pennsylvania governor tom wolf, and rhode island governor gina raimondo today announced the creation of a multi-state council to restore the economy and get people back to work.

  this announcement builds on the states’ ongoing regional approach to combatting the covid-19 pandemic.. the coordinating group – comprised of one health expert, one economic development expert and the respective chief of staff from each state — will work together to develop a fully integrated regional framework to gradually lift the states’ stay at home orders while minimizing the risk of increased spread of the virus.. https://news.delaware.gov/2020/04/13/governor-carney-and-five-governors-announce-multi-state-council-to-get-people-back-to-work-and-restore-the-economy/.
