lloyd evans has just tweeted a video he will be releasing soon on the "change" to the meaning of the sheep and goats and when that is to occur.. i've missed any discussion on that on here or anywhere?
it seems it was part of the 2020 annual meeting the gb had?.
any info on this?.
The JW is always looking out for new light ,hoping for the big A now.
The average JW now is there because of feelings ,the majority have no idea of doctrines, and how could they with the changes that are constantly occurring .
All they understand is ..A wicked world we live in , Armageddon will destroy it ..Paradise earth... is awaiting faithfull JW`s , and that`s about it .
And some lucky JW`s will rule with Jesus for a thousand years .
All based on feelings not facts/evidence .
freedom!
not having to adhere to man made rules and regulations.
not being afraid of maybe “stumbling “ someone..
No more going to fricken meetings 5 times a week ,with a tie and suit, taking two poor kids along and a wife with me ,forgive me family ,I know not what I do !.
Tolerating people who I would not normally associate with ,nor probably them with me .
I hated witnessing from D2D but I must have done enough to become a MS ?
Actively supporting and encouraging others to join what I now know is/was a Publishing - Real Estate Enterprise using Religion as a front to promote these enterprises .
Whether it started out this way or not I do not know but that is was what it became
"Worldly" publishing agencies recognised the WT were sitting on a gold mine with now 8 million people freely giving their time to promote WT publications ,and getting nothing in return.
And not having to listen once more about their excuses for failed predictions made by the society using "the light gets brighter as the day draws near " changing completely what they had said /predicted before .
1914 ,1925,1939-45,1975.....,6,000 years of human existence ,twice mind you they also did that much earlier,and made a correction to that date.
A man could go on and on but I`m now tired ,as if what i`ve said is not enough to put people off the JW religion.
i know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!
secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.
some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..
When I was a teenager I used to say that anyone who confesses to masturbation is a fool and anyone who denies it is a liar .
I also on occasions would say to someone " You know I read somewhere that people who masturbate would grow tiny smooth hairs on the palms of their hands."
And laugh when they would raise their arm and look at the palm of their hand.
i no longer believe in the bible as the word of god, but do appreciate the value in teaching it to my kids.
its teachings influence the life and culture of billions of people today and shaped the history of the world.
so, i bought a book that quickly goes over the core stories and have discussions about those with my kid.
I just looked at the site of Who is God ? In Got Questions ?, And going through all of those points being made ,I`ll stick to being an Atheist as far as the God of the Bible is concerned ,and that the Holy Bible is the word of God.
maybe i`m a just a bit more impatient than some ,but the govt.
did say they will name and shame those who do not sign up to the redress scheme didn`t they ?
and take away their special priveledges , etc.?.
OK Maybe I have found it.
, institutions listed above may have their charitable status removed should they be eligible for Commonwealth Government tax concessions. Amendments to primary legislation to enable this were passed by the Parliament late in 2020 and will commence by April 2021.
mysterious romantic letter?.
my story begins at noon with the letter-carrier dropping off a mystery envelope.
(for my grandson severin (he was out walking his chihuahua.).
The first thing I would have looked at is the pamphlet and saw JW.Org and that would have been enough for me ,however a good story Terry , you had me in at first.
Also the words in Spanish are pretty easy to relate to, english in the pamphlet it was really obvious it was from some Bible religion.
inspired by a previous post i wrote and thought it deserved a place of its own .. i hope it helps people on their journey out of the wt/jw religion .. their is no going back after discovering the "truth" about the wt/jw religion.. its the path of freedom from enslavement to a man made religious organization that was born in america, a nation that has spawned numerous charlatan religious organizations, especially in the 1700`s to 1900`s .and even beyond..

do you see a man with a backpack running into the woods?.
do you see a dog running out of the woods?.
i saw the man running first .... .
Now that one blew my mind away and continually looking at it I cant see it as I first saw it .?
Now for the first question the dog on his back was the first thing I saw.
I just went back to the plates and they are all right side up still.!?
"ONCE YOU SEE THE TRUTH YOU CAN`T UNSEE IT "
Take note JW.ORG!
even some democrats are advocating for reopening society, and are at least hoping for some point in 2021, but the governing body just announced that they're canceling the assemblies in 2022 as well, aiming to restart in 2023. .
they're really milking this 'pandemic', because as soon as things go back to normal that sense of urgency will start to die again, and publisher counts / meeting attendance will go down as well.
i wonder how many jws are suffering form (additional) depression from this as well, because with meetings, assemblies and conventions at least you could see and meet new people, as well as socialize.
I would be interested just out of curiosity why that person who gave me a dislike did so ,not that I would judge them as they have a right to their own opinions . Was it because I projected my reasoning into the future paradise ?
Or was there another reason ,?

Jehovah couldn`t protect the Israelites from Leprosy either as a colony existed among the Jews. Miriam Exodus ,Naaman 2Kings 5:1 ,even up to Jesus day ,Luke 5:12 ,so Jehovah`s Witnesses don`t expect him to protect you from anything in Paradise ,the New System of things.
