Privileges

by neat blue dog in

for me, outside the jw context, that word seems to relate to something like a prison setting, where you're allowed to do certain things based on good behavior.

waton

The other term is "enjoy" as in "will enjoy the privilege" "enjoy reviewing the meeting". and "serve as/in" the congregation as POoBoE. really

enjoy dominating over the other dismayed wannabes.

jehober "always'" protects his 'loyal servants'?

by eyeuse2badub in

last week i watched the docuseries on prime video called “the last narc”.

it was mainly about the notorious mexican guadalajara drug cartel during the 70’s and 80’s and a united states dea agent, kiki camerena, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in guadalajara, mexico in 1984. this is a very well-known and haunting event here in the usa.. however, there was also about a 7-8 minute segment during the docuseries that graphically detailed the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 4 jehovah’s witnesses that also took place just days before kiki camerena was taken.

the jw’s were 2 married couples, us citizens, dennis and rose carlson, ben and pat mascarenas.

right after the invention of religion , that is sacrificing to the deity, 100% of true worshippers were wiped out. God knew about it, did not stay the stave.

You Know You're A Jehovah's Witness When...

by pale.emperor in

you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..

waton

when your late grandparents, you spend quality time with , are an early group of the same generation as you, living along the "partakers" of the same age.

(if the anointed overlap so must everybody else)

KH flying Chilean Flags??

by Vanderhoven7 in

i saw a headline saying chile is demanding religious organizations fly the nations flag.. is this accurate?

is the society complying?.

https://jwsurvey.org/tag/jehovahs-witnesses.

waton

Thinking: what about a ship used by jw missionaries, and vessels are required to fly the flag of the nation of their registry.

would the blue JWORG do? the new earthly symbol of the 1914 kingdom? or are the local colours de rigueur ? for an imaginary HMS "'Lookbryn" ?

seriously though, in the 1930 the government ordered all to fly the swastika, but since no ceremony is involved, could/should a ZJ have done so, or

a local jw done so in Malawi?

Pic of old woman having no food but donating to Watchtower

by Darkknight757 in

i hope you are all doing ok and healing from the cult.

i’m looking for an image of the old woman donating to watchtower but also in the same pic looking in her fridge and having little to eat.

i need it for a video for youtube.

waton

750 k is not a big deal in many places, as real estate values are well above 500 000 a pop for a house.

One widow endowing the congregation could have them hit the million mark.

wt motto: "the harvest is great"

afterthought: that is why the lady in the empty fridge picture has that expensive coiffure, all the time.

when I saw the picture I was appalled, it ranked with the mind-insulting videos for the childish wt believers.

The lady reminded me though of the well to do widows and divorcee women here, that always have a picture perfect hairdo

The subtle double message is really: -- keep up appearances, beautify the "truth", stay slim, before food shopping put aside funds to feed the wt maw., ma.

1914 Dropped

by pale.emperor in

so i was observing an online conversation between a jw and a former-jw.

the non-jw pointed out that wwi cant have had anything to do with satan supposedly being "cast out of heaven" because wwi was already well under way in oct 1914.. the jw proceeds to explain that satan was actually thrown down to the earth in 1915 and that he started to wreak havock on the earth from heaven knowing he was about to be cast out.. so 1914 is officially old light now?

does anyone have a source for that or was this brother lying through his teeth?.

waton

1914 will be the date that Jesus’ coronation ceremony began, DD:

and the start of the "anointed" the "bride", to also becoming the generation that will not pass away, and overlap in 2 groups.

wt has the story wrong here , not because 2 centenarians like F. Franz, overlapping by 20 years will get us to 2075, but

if all the "anointed" will not pass away until all has happened,

they might make it to the post-Armageddon "wedding" alright, but miss their reserved place in the army of 144 001 immortals, killing all the babies, apostates and all those that did not subscribe to The Awake & Watchtower, or Jw.Org.

Why Jehovah`s Witnesses are wrong emphasising the name Jehovah.

by smiddy3 in

hi friends, feel free to correct me where i`m wrong with this post.after all it`s just my observation of jw`s and the bible.. in the beginning of gods dealings with adam it was on a personal level , god to man so to speak.. god then dealt with humans via the patriarchs , then with the levi priesthood ,then judges ,( and a woman was a judge ) then kings ,somewhere in between all of this prophets played a major part ,and then came jesus christ the messiah.. and to my knowledge god has not validated a successor to him with any evidence i`ve seen .. jehovah`s witnesses claim to be christians but have with no new testament backing usurped jesus with jehovah.. this period of time ,until god says otherwise ,christians are to give honour and glory to none other than jesus christ .. that is the name that is above any other name until god says otherwise.

phil.2:9-11. not the name jehovah .the bible never says anything about a kingdom of jehovah ,the coming kingdom is the kingdom of jesus christ with his associate 144,000 earthly subjects.. this is just my understanding of what the bible actually says .. whether i believe it or not is another matter..

waton

If Jesus is their leader, as jws sang this week, why do they not follow his lead? He, who is on record to have never addressed his father with that name. Case in point: His last words while dying: "Father, why--" "Eli, Eli, --"

Steal in Iran and Get Your Fingers Chopped Off!

by minimus in

jw
friends

three teens were convicted of stealing and the punishment is cut off their fingers.

some past punishments were finger and foot removal.

pretty barbaric but i bet they don’t have too many looters there..

waton

Rape is a crime of power and violence, not lust. f218

,you must never have experienced the strength of the male sex drive. either way, the Iranian solution would render the rapist powerless. Their kind should be prevented from inflicting their crimes on the rest of us. They should be prevented from spreading their genes into the future humanity. imho.

as to the person with the shortened hands, They would be great greeters at walmart, baumarkt. banks. seeing the consequences of their craft would guide potential thieves' shopping / chopping experience.
