All religions are man made with writings of men / women, that they base their Beliefs ,Traditions , and Doctrines on.
Presumably you are talking about Christianity and if so ,why do you need any organised Church to worship in.?
Why don`t you just stick to what is written in the Bible and follow your own path ?
Just remember the Bible was written by men and basically Jewish men who had their own agenda in mind.
Welcome Talkie , this is a good forum to discuss anything and everything.
hi all.. just spotted this news item in melbourne:.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-19/vic-govt-threatens-cut-off-orgs-dont-sign-up-to-redress-scheme/12161886.
victoria to blacklist institutions that fail to sign up to national redress scheme for sexual abuseposted about 7 hours ago a black and white photo of girls in a boarding home.photo: the national redress scheme was a key recommendation of the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse.
Thank you for sharing that info jtg and of course JW`s are one of those that have the capacity to pay, haven`t yet joined the scheme.
i dont post really.
probably because i'm full of discord and shame about this religion.
i'm embarrassed, but working thru it.
I have been out for over 25 years now Difido was a JW for 32 years and where we live now I have made a few friends and in the past 14 years we have been here I haven`t told a soul I was once a JW.
I`m embarrassed that I was ever one still.
One day I might drop the bombshell on them and tell them ,I can just imagine their faces of disbelief .When I was a member of U3A { University of the 3rd Age } I was in a discussion group and gave a presentation about the JW`s however none of them are in my circle of friends I have now.
But I can relate how you feel. And as far as taking a big step in posting here I think we can all agree to that feeling.
By the way welcome .
heard the lastest in jw land?
god commanded the org to sell buildings in new york cause corona virus was comming.
lots of jws see it as this is the true religion cause of that 🙃😊 ofcourse no one been mentioning why no warning before spanish flu 1918 or terrorism 9/11.
And he only had them move just 53 miles away ? Some protection ...not.
i have a trove of old watchtower literature.
i know of course, and for example, to keep the three first volumes of the watchtower (bound) and a bunch of other items.
(and i handle them delicately.).
The first edition of "Aid To Bible Understanding" admitted that the pronunciation/ spelling of the name of GOD was most likely not Jehovah .However they admitted that they went with that name because it was the most popular name in use ?
I don`t think they included that in later additions.
Also if I remember correctly the word Elder was not even in that publication ,but it was only a few months later that the Elder arrangement was introduced
I thought even back then, that was strange .
Remember to keep the paragraph on the inside cover of the Watchtower about the generation that saw 1914 would see the fullfilment of Gods promises .{ You know what I mean}
With Doctor Who`s reasoning there could never be a Paradise Earth filled with perfect human beings ,his/her arguments refute such a possibility .

Why didn`t Jehovah just stop the virus if he knew it was coming or was he just out for more blood.

Yes and the Nursing homes they go to are usually run and serviced by one of Christendoms religions that take care of them.
Just like it would be presumptuous of Geoffrey Jackson to say that he believed the WT/JW`s were the only religion God was using.
what happened to all those new printing presses?
the wt said they were going to double the amount of mag's every month.
i wonder what ever happened.
I found those links very interesting lancelink thanks for posting them.
and i would like as many as possible to view it and comment on it as possible because i cant believe they are still pulling this shit and the rank & file are still lapping it up .?
in this year of 2020.. i`m sorry i do not have the nouse to make a link or attachment or whatever and hope someone can do so .. i know, i had doubts about looking at it also , its on jw.org ,whats new or something phillipines memorial and an experience was given their about a young pioneer girl that had eyesight problems and how she got her doctor and hundreds more to go on line to watch the special talk .
and they even went on to say they had 30,000 non jw`s log on to the special talk.?
In one city over 31,000 non witnesses linked in to the memorial commemoration? yeah right.
The whole experience is contrived and just beggars belief that anyone could take this seriously its propaganda at its worst .
One medical professional thanked Daphane and the brothers for the invitation and said: “We had no idea that Jehovah’s Witnesses preach online. You are using technology in a very good way.”
Decades after Christendom were doing this On the day of the Memorial, medical professionals, policemen, and high government officials were linked in to the meeting. By the end of the Memorial, over 31,000 had connected to the program either by video or audio.
Give me a break ,and yet the rank and file are lapping it up
