How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?

by pistolpete in

i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.

by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.

all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

define true belief.

In my day in the 50s, some had pet beliefs, mine based on Rev 11: !8, god will destroy war mongers. others were virulent anti clergy, because of abuse they suffered.

I now see belief in the GB among elders and elderly to sustain their hope, hope is not faith or belief. however.

As was said, wt wants [us] old ones to go, take their embarrassing knowledge with them, ,but leave their estates to wt $ inc. (or elders who have been known to be fellow-harvesters).

how many are true believers, or just doing the best bet , reverse insurance option? Playing for the crowd? on a power trip? hard to put a figure on the unknown.

Thoughts on Zoom

by waton in

the wt sponsored zoom meetings reduce individual freedom, spirituality.

the wt sponsored zoom meetings enables ego maniacs, narcissists to have their influence beamed right into your living room.

conversations that were private, personal are now broadcast, forced on all participants.

No one is forced to have a camera and microphone in their living room. They are guiltshamed but not forced. You can listen with microphone muted and camera off

But if you succeeding to have your picture, sound off, avoid exposing your family, does not mean that the worst of wt is not beamed right into your private place.

Hope that good 2 way only private conversations preserve friendships.

various other zoom gaffs

Bc; and these are tricks easily exploited to even enhance the bizarro's impact. like creating a "trumpet effect'" before the appearance of h/h majesty.

Like the cancelling of the localized "book study" meetings, a herd mentality, is now more strongly imposed by the few.

The worst of the wt word, like presence of pedophiles, confirmed adulterers is now beamed into the sanctity of your family, home.' instead of being confined to the Hall, where they belong.

how do feel --, deal, with that?

Samuel Herd... ''The Source of True Courage.''

convention.

jehovah—the source of true courage.

here is samuel herd on the subject, ''the source of true courage.

Incredibly, in circa 2000 a municipality in the same latitude, tried to have the police action again ( Blainville, shut down the tough Hell's Angels, but lost in court.) D Splane celebrated by playing the Grand at the hall.

Valid point Dreary W. and how about the religious violence, ethnic cleansing in Armenia Azerbaijan again?

Can you expand on that information

RR: You did your R&R research and reporting well.

In the rurals of quebec, wt foot soldiers were pretty much on their own. In one village, , were we had entered from all the different roads to flee easily, the priest got the carpenters working on the rebuilding of the Church. to literally grab their crowbars to chase us out, to our cars. (social distancing is not a covid invention!)

The police custody, was prompted by such a nuisance call, like depicted in the OP

Glen How send a warning, calling the gen d' armes "Enforcers of Her Majesty's laws", which did not go over well, and " If the priest has the right to ring Church Bells, we have the right to ring Doorbells".

Wt warriors like he and Covington were very combative. provocative.

Stuff like this is not going to prompt the angels into action.

S. Herd is a more pleasant person to talk to than them bsw.

happened to a group of us in the Duplessi years. Protective Custody.

Not really as bad as if they had used the crow bars they used to chase us with out of a nearby village.

P.S: when you think of the execution in Europe during WW2, the rapes in Malawi, when the wt god did nothing, what else, worse can go wrong Sam?

what is This weekend watchtower trash about. Wife is in cult mode 12-27-20

by goingthruthemotions in

so what is this weeks watchtower trash about.

wife is in cult mode and trying to see if there is a link.. thanks.

waton

bless, thank the wives for their good family work.

about this week's weak wt material:

"Governing body" in 1st century met only for emergence meetings: not every wednesday, for hefty circumcision debate. Pressure coming from outside.

GB now seems also reactive, " Approved of Cart Initiative / experiment in Paris." yeah, arms felt always tired holding the Reveillez Vous, le Tour. in the street corner work.

The Saviez vous? gimmick never caught on though. Perhaps never got to Knorr.

Wt taking created for the information technology inventions developed by more enlightened humans. aka "satan's world"

Who was it who ''rescued'', or ''saved'' you?

by Beth Sarim in

from the borg?.

i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.

towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

wt inc itself. the doctrines , starting with the 'Superior Authority' debacle, Their wt appointed "elders" , many very good caricatures of what it means to be "Christian"

More JW left ideology examples

by neat blue dog in

the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

Wt teaches that New World citizen will not be owners of real estate.

The inhertance goes to the kingdom government. They are the meek that inherit the Earth.

With patting the Pandas, prepare to pay rent. mortgage, like now already for the KHs.

The good things to come when wt inc is the only organisation surviving the end.
