satan in heaven.. as per the bible,the devil took jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

Yeah, like when you take the "nothing" that the Earth hangs on figuratively.
There is no such thing as "nothing". The Earth is supported against the gravity of the Sun, and not falling into it, by energy, the dynamics of orbital velocity which results in the right centrifugal outward force. the bible s a farce. humorous fun.

Even after the 1000 year Reich, the nations will be gathered into the 4 corners of the Earth, which, from a flat disk Earth in Jesus" day, has been stretched into a square, or if you are not a Flat Earther, into a triangular base pyramid. Not much room at the top though.
2 pioneers of the opposite sex.
the brother is in his mid-20s, sister is in her late 20s.
both are alone in car as the only 2 out in field service.
so: brothers beware. more likely than not, there is something potentially going on in every congregation.
so this is just a general question.
call it curiosity.. what sort of phobias do we have?
heights?
I freeze in terror now on ski lifts, near any open heights, but used to fly aerobatics when I with glee, was younger.
the other day on this site, a lot of topics about the org.
and sexual abuse...now when i come on this site...crickets... what happened ?
it seems everyone is being exposed except the org...oh yes it's mentioned here and there but then it fades away...many celebrities are being exposed....& gov't officials and even our president, but not the org...ummmm.... thoughts ?.
I think the scope of child rapes among JWs, is mild compared what "the world" has dished out. Down with all the rapists. prevent it. sorry for them (I can hear the screams), but compared to Rotherham 1500, the Canadian ski coach, the US gymnastic coaches, doctors, the male abuses in the celibate clergy, now the Rohingya females, The perils of white girls in Europe...You need a magnifying glass so to speak, to track down the individual jw offenders. The news media is coarse, big shock and new news driven, it need big, fresch sensational items all the time. Nothing kills ratings like old, bland stories.so, let justice take it's course and the victims heal, with your help.
many people point to the irrationality in the depiction of god by the religions and their scriptures, hence jump into the bottomless pit of atheism.
in either camp, god is not a factor because religion is only a means that misrepresents god, hence religionists themselves are atheists (literally, those who live without god).
it is like saying there exists no earth because you found out your friend who taught earth is flat is wrong; or it is like saying mathematics itself is wrong because you found out your mathematics teacher made a mistake.
The purpose of all this debating of unproven fluff is to make you read it, and read it again and again. Do You-all have not better things to do?
i saw this on jw reddit and thought, okay that will just be one of the protesters videotaping near their security entrance but it's really from inside the hq's.
i doubt the org.
will be happy that this was taped and leaked.https://rutube.ru/video/2dbc8185062524a41ed8c9e2117ca39d/.
That was amateurish camera work, perhaps taken without wt authorisation. that is why could get past "security" to Russia with love.
i've seen a lot of posts around and about warwick and the goings on there but was curious as to people's theories on why the move to warwick?
granted there's the obvious point about all of the money from the sale of properties in brooklyn but for as massive as warwick is, the purchase of an apartment complex there, multiple sites and buildings i would be surprised if they had much left from all of the profits.
so beyond a financial incentive why move?
first step from the harshness of a blemish that NY is on nature to the PpP of wt dreams.
I was surprised how long they stayed so close to ground zero, in the near crosshairs of the Mutual Assured Destruction cold war situation.
does anyone know of any diagrams online that show the current hierarchical structure of the watchtower compared to the previous hierarchical structures of the past.
i know they have complicated it on purpose to try to protect themselves legally from lawsuits.
i would like to try to understand their current structure compared with the past.
thanks wild thing. The keepers of the bird cage of course, the real hierarchy, are not shown.
just spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.
clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.
their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".
This weeks watchtower "study" par 17, trashed " higher" education as well, in favour of "pioneering, Construction, Bethel and even ,--tada: gilead training."
