  Jephthah's Daughter

  by cantleave in

  i have read somewhere that jephthah's daughter did not really go into temple service but was a victim of ritual sacrifice.

  the bible says that after weeping over her virginity that the maidens would visit her annually.

  how could they visit her if she was killed?.

  God’s wisdom in allowing bearded JWs July 25 Watchtower

  2. bible

  the july 2025 watchtower has a paragraph that claims that it was the superior power and wisdom of jehovah that guided the gb into allowing jws to grow beards.. the study article is ‘can you still learn from basic bible teachings?’ under the subheading ‘jehovah is the creator’ paragraph 7 states-.

  “ 7. what did rahela do to accept a change in direction?.

  In truth, this is not theology—it is manipulation. By attaching the name of God to every policy shift and preference of the leadership, the line between divine will and human control is intentionally blurred. Once, Jesus was portrayed beardless in Watchtower publications, against all historical and scriptural evidence, simply because the cultural taboos of the time demanded it. Now that society has shifted again, so has "God's guidance." This is not revelation; it is reinvention.

  This is so so true and very eloquently put - thank you!👍👍👍

  Thanks for posting.

  That beard paragraph in the wt is utterly pathetic, and also sinister in the way it controls and brainwashes the rank and file jw dolts and droids..

  I hate the way they try to include 'Jehovah' into every pathetic facet of their lives..

  " We went into the lavatory and there was enough paper.." Jehovah's rich blessing.

  " We cancelled our papers and milk while on holiday.." jehovah's hand was in this.

  "Our car passed its yearly MOT." Jehovah has richly blessed us..

  "Our toaster has lasted for five years." Jehovah spirit is surely guiding it..

  I'm sure you can think of other things they say...

  I think I might have been spoiled.

  In every hall I have attended from the 1960's to the 2000's there was at least 2 or 3 'anointed'..

  The serious older ones from my youth gave the impression they were somehow different and on a higher spiritual plane to the rest of us, without appearing condescending or superior...

  Not sure how the current partakers come across?

  Special Talk just prior to the Memorial

  by Acluetofindtheuser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.

  is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?

  they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..

  Is this the 'special' talk?

  Is there anything 'special' about it that has not been regurgitated ad infinitum in jw land for eons of time already??

  i’m still an elder and i consider myself jw light.

  as my fellow elders are.

  we don’t throw our weight around like elders used to in the past, it’s all very easy going these days.
