Watchtower Study on 5th December.

by Lost in the fog in

the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.

in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".

however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.

Liberals really are so stupid

by mickbobcat in

so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.

now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.

they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

When you see what is happening now in Australia with detention camps is every reason there is never to give up your arms.

Sorry Simon, but that is a ridiculous statement to make and a complete misunderstanding of the situation here in Australia.

People ,whether they are black or white are required to isolate themselves away from the rest of the community if they are infected to protect the wider community and stop spreading the disease.

By far the majority abide by and respect that requirement and have no problem complying ,however there is always some idiot who doesn`t care if they are a threat to the health and well being of their fellow man ,and don`t care if they spread the virus.

Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

by pistolpete in

this magazine says it all!.

and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

Of course we both did at one time ,but thankfully my wife and I are well and truly out as are other members of our family that I was instrumental in getting them involved are all out now.

Except for one niece who shuns us all.

I`m astounded by this number ,what`s your thoughts ? definite benefits for sure ,but what of the future ?

by smiddy3 in

by 2020, 114 launches carried around 1,300 satellites to space, surpassing the 1,000 new satellites per year mark for the first time.

but no year in the past compares to 2021. as of sept. 16, roughly 1,400 new satellites have already begun circling the earth, and that will only increase as the year goes on.

just this month, spacex deployed another 51 starlink satellites into orbit.. right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet.

Now there`s a theme for budding authors on this forum .In the distant future there will be so much accumulative junk orbiting the Earth that it`s blocking out much of the Sun threatening life on the planet that is dying due to decreased sunlight.

Lost in the fog ,I also have brought up this point in previous posts , that Jehovah never shunned Satan and that Jesus never shunned Satan either , spending time with him and allowing himself to be tempted by Satan ?

And all Jehovah and Jesus did was cast him out of heaven thousands of years later ?

And the loving pair Jah and Jesus are, they sent him down here on Earth to cause more havoc for humans ?

Apparently neither of them have shunned him to this day and if they have, why send him down to earth ? there are plenty other places they could have sent him in the Universe where he couldn`t cause anymore trouble for humans.

If Ever GB Members Deserved To Be Thrown in Jail It's When ...

by smiddy3 in

it was when the governing body started to disfellow-ship jehovah`s witnesses from taking blood transfusions in an effort to save their lives .. resulting in many hundreds if not thousands of needless deaths of men women and children who by this coercion died from this doctrine.. and to this day they still go unpunished .

.

smiddy3

And those individuals who subject their unborn to the same fate in the case of a pregnant woman whose life and possibly the babies as well by refusing a transfusion.?

And parents who decide against minor children having a blood transfusion and indoctrinate them to refuse a transfusion ?

All because some men dictate their interpretation of scripture and enforce those rules by threats of DF or DA and shunning if they disobey them and their interpretation.

JW Newsroom "reviews"

by neat blue dog in

jwdotorg pats themselves on the back yet again with the latest article praising jw news reports.

among the reviews one sister is quoted as saying: "i appreciate that i can trust the news on jw .org.

it is reliable and objective.".

smiddy3

Then at the end of the article of course it says JW News is not possible without donations and a video about how to donate online.

That statement says it all : Including the lifestyle Governing Body members and their wives live.

Actually JW News reminds me of Watching The World on the inside back cover of AWAKE magazine .

IT was always months behind and past its use by date.
