  Bible Reading Schedule, Dumbed Down?

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.

  does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?

  at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..

  I can never decide if there really is some Master Plan, or if the GB has no clue where they are going.

  There ain't no Master Plan, that's for sure.

  1975 !

  how many of you here remember 1975?

  i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.

  those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.

  My mom racked up credit card debt expecting "people throwing their money in the street" and the destruction of the credit card companies at Armageddon.

  I personally knew several families that did the same thing. I say "knew" because not only did they all to a person have to declare bankruptcy in 1976-1977, they grew old broke and living hand-to mouth, they've died! They sure saw the promise that WT made.

  Changed View of Post Armageddon and Paradise Conditions ?

  by HereIam60 in

  when i first came into contact with jehovah's witnesses they were talking about god's kingdom bringing about a peaceful new world.

  the scripture used being psalm 37:10,11 "just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more.you will look at where they were and they will not be there., but the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delightin the abundance of peace..".

  i took this to mean, then, that when jehovah intervened, at his appointed time, it would be instantly, invisibly, and painlessly.

  David Splane said in a talk."... suppose you love the country, but you are assigned to live in a city?...Well you can learn to love the city!"

  Someone needs to 'splane to that bone-head that the first city was built (according to their Bible) by Nimrod!

  Too Much Video ?

  by HereIam60 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone feel the same way?

  i am not anti-video, just feeling overload.

  since the jw organization started video production there has been such a flood of it that no one can, or possibly even wants to keep up with it all: some thoughts and questions i"ve had -.

  JW's are to videos what spoiled children are to unlimited free candy.

  I found the proliferation of video and still images to be nauseating. I'm pretty sure that since I left it is even worse now, judging by the hairy faces all the males, and many of the females are sporting since they got permission from the governing body.

  JULY 2025 STUDY WT How to Give Advice

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i scanned this article and i saw a theme throughout it.

  when info like this shows up in the study wt, you can be sure the elders are doing it wrong and the wts hits directly on what it is.

  older elders do it wrong and train by word and action the newer elders to do it wrong.

  You may have strong personal opinions on the matter, but you have no medical qualifications or training in dealing with the illness. Consider another reason why we should be careful when giving advice to someone: We could share responsibility if our counsel causes someone to make a decision that brings on negative consequences.

  Like the governing body "doctors" who damned near demanded that every JW get the COVID jab as if God himself came to earth and whispered that mandate in their ears. Have they ever taken responsibility for the deaths and illness that are now being recognized as side effects of the jab for gullible JW's that believed every "inspired" utterance from their mouths? Hell no!!

  Green Handshakes - Taxable income in Australia

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was doing some research on the taxable status of money being gifted to co’s and travelling missionaries and was surprised with what i found.

  i had assumed that it was not taxable income in australia.. it is taxable income in australia and it‘s likely that the same rules apply in some other countries.. a registered religious institution only receives tax free status on donations because they have been endorsed by the australian tax office.

  travelling overseas and missionaries are not in this category.. there’s a tax ruling that goes into great detail.

  But then how does that state keep track of items you buy to catch you not paying that tax?

  In my state it is pretty much the same thing. The state relies upon the honesty of their citizens. It is disgusting the number of JW's, the most honest citizens alive according to them, that even if they know about this law refuse to honor it.

  Oh my -- hope she wears appropriate fitting attire to the meetings

  I've seen it with my own eyes (dammit!). That is to meetings. In street clothes she is even more exposed with her "spanx" as Morris called it.

  We are living in the last days and times will get tough? What??? Who knew....? Obviously, the solution is to: 1. Do more field service 2. Attend more WT meetings 3. Send all your money to the Watchtower organization. Problem solved...

  Sounds like WT could well be added to this list . . . “The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. “There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
  the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
