the life story in the latest wt has a running theme that keeps popping up: if the organization tells you to do something, you do it.
this culminates in the following anecdote:.
we were staying in abrother’s home right next to a kingdom hall.. .
Your kidding me ,seriously?
‘The brothers are too busy to
notice that I am taking a bath.Pull the other leg!! ???
As you say it certainly is a strange example to use ,I bet there are still workers at that KH getting their jollies just picturing that bath memory in their heads.
Once seen you cannot unsee it.
so here i am 44 yr old divorced and free to remarry jw sister....first time single since i was 19. but guess what no single brothers in my area.
i’ve tried those stupid jw dating sites and still no luck.
oh yes there are tons of single brothers, but guess what...they all expect a hot barbie to come running into their life.
LoveNinja,
Some of us are active but recognize flaws in the teaching and, administration. Even some elders in addition to us hangers on for family reasons
Of course there are some active JW`s here ,that`s why we are so up to date with what is going on in the JW religion for the reasons given to you above.
So welcome, LoveNinja ,I hope you stick around as you will learn far more about the Jehovah`s Witness religion than what you would by going to a kingdom Hall or having a Bible study with a practicing JW.
the latest study wt gives another glowing report from rutherford's time:.
in his talk, brother rutherford identified those whowould make up the “great multitude” (king james ver-sion), or “great crowd,” mentioned at revelation 7:9. un-til then, this group was thought to be a secondary heav-enly class that was less faithful.
brother rutherford usedthe scriptures to explain that the great crowd are notchosen to live in heaven, but they are christ’s othersheep who will survive “the great tribulation”.
What I find incredible about this article is that they still quote Brother Rutherfraud at all .?

saw this on reddit , looking for people to sign the petition..
I`m curious why more people haven`t responded to this post ?
Either for or against signing this petition
Nobody interested in signing this type of petition ?
It doesn`t only apply to residents of the UK does it ? Anybody can sign it ?
Maybe they will now be overlapping Annual meetings.
yeah, so this is a pretty good video regarding the up-coming us presidential election.. i'm no expert in us politics, so if this video is a load of crap, please say so .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2fo83cp7vg.
"The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and an absolute majority of electoral votes, 270 or more, is required to win the election. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution requires each state legislature to determine how electors for that state are to be chosen, and it disqualifies any person holding a federal office,
So what`s the bloody point of giving the American citizens the right / privilege to vote if the Electoral college can overide the majority opinion of voters ?
"A democracy is a vote by the people for the people"
If the majority of American citizens took the time,energy, and effort to vote for candidate "A" and the rest of American citizens for one reason or another refuse to vote ,then the Electoral college chooses candidate "B" that`s a travesty of justice and un democratic , a farce , a gerrymander.
But on further investigation ,I find that both the Republican party and the Democrat party are both happy to leave that situation as it is , and as far as I can tell so do the majority of the American people,all I can say then is ,
You Deserve the president You Get. Whoever that may be.
here is one of the many commandments jesus instructed his twelve apostles to keep, follow, and obey!.
here is anthony morris ( supposedly selected by jehovah to keep, follow and obey the sayings of jesus ) name-calling and condemning enemies!
the pharisees used to label people as well.
oppostate ,
Several YouTube activists have made videos of their denouncing Tony's video by filing official complaints according with their respective national laws.
I wish someone could download those u-tube videos ,that`s something I would like to see.
a recent wt study was titled: “the resurrection reveals god’s love, wisdom and patience.
apparently there was a lot of speculation on how those resurrected will be needing to be taught god’s ways in last weeks wt study.
does anyone know how the watchtower tries to weasel out of the "resurrection of damnation"?.
Apparently there was a lot of speculation on how those resurrected will be needing to be taught God’s ways in last weeks WT study
I`m confused ? Shouldn`t they just go and knock on the door at Beth Sarim and ask the "Faithful men of old " such as Abraham ,Isaac , and Jacob , who have been living there since 1925 ?
writing is a lonely discipline that is constantly beset with self-doubt and constant self-criticism.
that is the way it needs to be.. there are times when i need to reach out for help in the form of criticism from others.
this is particularly the situation with this material.. https://jwstudies.com/second-temple_period_messiahs.pdf .
Most of us who hear the word Messiah certainly don't connect any smearing of oil to its meaning. Yet, that's at the root of Messiah.
Terry ,I wonder if it all depended on who was true and who was fake because of the oil they used ?
Castor oil ,olive oil ,Virgin olive oil ?
Doug , I look forward to reading through your work . I`ve always had the idea if you want to know how the jews think ask a jew rather than a gentile .
as always i preferece this post with a: i despise this cult!!!!
so glad the boys dispise it as well.. so, as stated...she is in a cult mode and i am trying to figure out what the trigger was.
the watchtower rag or .
Lots of speculation of how ones will be resurrected and needing to be taught God’s ways.I think ,
"Lots of speculation " sums up the Jehovah`s Witness / WT religion quite aptly.
Can you give us an example of what she is saying ? or doing ? or how she is manifesting this cult mode ?
give us something to work on here , GTTM
