Jehovah's protecting his people - Korea
by no-zombie inwith the chances of war breaking out on the korean peninsula rapidly rising, i wonder if jehovah will save his people in seoul if kim jong-un decides to nukes it?
or will their deaths just be written off by the governing body's writing department as another case of "time and unforeseen occurrence"?.
while you might think that i'm being flippant or trivial here, i'm being quite serious.

Relationship Between the JWs and Brooklyn Coming to an End
by betterdaze inthe 107-year relationship between the jehovah’s witnesses and brooklyn is coming to an endby terence cullen sept. 21, 2016, 9:45 a.m.for jehovah’s witnesses, brooklyn heights was until recently the equivalent of vatican city for catholics.
brooklyn—“the borough of churches”—arguably has no congregation with a more noticeable presence than the witnesses.
the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, the governing body of the jehovah’s witnesses, built its headquarters at 25-30 columbia heights, and it is there to greet any visitor driving over the brooklyn bridge.

"But I was just following order and directions!" The 'outsourcing' of personal responsibility
by stuckinarut2 ina thought struck me that throughout history people have often claimed that "i was simply following orders and directions" when it comes to their actions or beliefs.. instead of using logical thinking skills to determine if the course of action is correct, they just assume that it is based on a superior telling them so.. think of someone handling finances for a corrupt boss.
if asked to hide sums of money illegally, can they just say to the authorities "i was just following directions"?.
or as we know, war crimes have occurred in history and the same excuses have been used.. similarly, it seems that witnesses "outsource" their thinking abilities to the society and gb and think and act exactly as directed...even if such changes dramatically as have many, many teachings and beliefs.. think of all the far out and strange things in the society's history.

Skin of My Teeth
by WhatshallIcallmyself inan evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".
science is quoted as having discovered that teeth are covered in skin and therefore how would job have known something that modern science has only just discovered.
i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.

Love and compassion
by stavro inhttp://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-37955748.
after watching this i asked myself the question, how did i ever believe jehovah was about to kill billions of people who have so much love and compassion in their hearts?.
