  The WT has gotten people to rely on them for what is supposed to happen in the last days. They don't even follow the correct sequence found in Daniel's book. They can't. Russell started out on the wrong foot and the rest of those following his religion have to do the same.

  That being said, the WT's explanation of the Peace and Security cry is something like this - The world thinks it has solved the problem only God can fix. So their cry of Peace and Security is likened to the tower of Babels boast of "nothing can stop us now, we don't need God" Which is false according to WT.

  It's past my bedtime so I won't swear to everything being 100% correct.

  Why Do People Oppose Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by BlackSpirit in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  jesus christ, the son of the most high god, jehovah has this to say: "if the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

  if you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.

  now because you are no part of the world, but i have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

  If the Governing Body is no part of the World, why did they sign up with the UN?

  When I was growing up, you couldn't even use the swimming pool at the YWCA because that would be sharing in a worldly religion. Even if they were "just using it for the library card ( )- which it was more than that - that would still make them friends with the world. And they are supposed to be living up to a higher standard.

  this afternoon, i had a vision.

  one of the past, present and future.. .

  over the past two decades, i recall one distinct, universal phrase being uttered by older jehovah's witnesses on many different occasions:.

  My mom apologized to me one day out of the blue. "Sorry" she said. I said what for? "You've grown old"

  Even tho she recognized that what the WT said about children my age not graduating school, having to get a job or growing old had failed, it didn't change her thinking about the religion. She's in her eighties and having to contemplate death now. She won't change because she would have to face the non existence of paradise and the end of her life long dream.

  Most everything that moves in Australia will get you. Surprising they didn't have the Jumping Jack Ants

  

  I watched a program that showing a mechanical roving camera going to take a look at the ants. As soon as one saw the camera, it started leaping in great jumps to attack it. It can cause shock and death. Little stinkers. That's why I decided if I had the chance, I would go to New Zealand. Just blood sucking things there.

  Maybe some of the funds are disappearing into the hidden accounts of those that belong to the "incorporated" part of the society. So that when the rainy day comes and the organization is going to have to pay out for hiding pedophiles, they won't have a worry. It will all be on the "religious" part.

  Why does John have to do it a certain way? I have my way of talking with a JW that may not match his, but I recognize he's a different person than me.

  Let them go back to their congregation and talk down about him. Oh, he said "why don't you look up an abuse case in Philadelphia? And I just looked him in the eye until he walked away! After all, it's just lies isn't it?" And someone listening will be curious and look it up for themselves.

  You never know.

  by Addison0998 in

  hey guys, so now that i’m pretty much atheist and i’m not scared of demons or supernatural things, or bring them into my house by watching movies or reading books about them lol, i defenitly want to watch a few scary movies.

  i’ve always loved scary movies, but as witness, you don’t get to watch many since they need to be pg-13 and have no spiritism in it lol.

  does anyone have any suggestions?

  This movie isn't new. It doesn't have great special effects although it was probably pretty good for it's time. It does have some nice acting and rewatching it today, made me scared like it did when I was a kid. Mostly because it was filmed a little like film noir.

  https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/jehovahs-witness-elders-told-abused-1636907.

  a bradford man's sex offence against a little girl was kept quiet for 23 years because elders of the jehovah's witnesses church persuaded her parents not to report him, a court was told.. robert lee's crime in the forest of dean was not revealed until the victim had grown up and went to the police, gloucester crown court heard on friday.. .

  both the victim's family and lee were jehovah's witnesses at that time, said prosecutor kerry barker.. he told the court that having avoided justice, lee, formerly of coleford, but now of alexandra road, bradford, went on to commit further child sex offences in 2008 and 2016.. lee, who used the surname howarth at that time, admitted indecent assault of the girl in march 1995 in coleford when he was aged just 17.. sentencing lee to two years jail suspended for two years and ordering him to sign the sex offender register for 10 years judge ian lawrie qc said he was 'concerned' at the church's advice to the mother not to report him.. he also placed lee under a 10 year sexual harm prevention order.. “i've raised concerns about how this came to the attention of your church authorities and was not reported.

  Those elders and the Watchtower are guilty for what that man did after molesting his first victim. The mother....I'm afraid that my mother would have done the same thing. Believing in the authority of the JW religion... Every time I type believing, I see be lie ving. They be lieing.

  So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

  okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

  they reduced printing of mags.

  they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

  Island Man - They might it even spin it as a safety precaution - keeping the government in the dark when the great tribulation breaks out. It would give the JW's goosebumps because once again - it's so close!
