should we refer watchtower as to a online religion now?
i mean we could discuss if they ever return to kingdom hall's in the future.
if most of them haven't been sold.
Sooner or later they will start to sell KH`s there is no rush .They made Millions of dollars $$$$$$ when the sold properties in Brooklyn NY ,and if every JW only donated one Dollar a week now they would have over 8 Million dollar $$$$$$ net every week .
That`s the reality ,there is no hurry.
the scripture saying: "...one day is with the lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
" (2. peter 3:8) is often used both by jehovah's witnesses and others, to show that a day can literally mean a thousand years in the eyes of god.
this is then used especially for the creation story, and for the fall of adam and eve.

An interesting story,I wonder how this will pan out ?
i always hated suit, shirt and tie and wondered why men of all walks of life should be forced to wear these uncomfortable clothes and spend the money on them.
it should be remembered some of the worst people wear them, like creepy joe, putin, dirty corrupt frauds in business, law etc.
and of course al capone.
I haven`t worn a suit or tie since `93 and if i go to a funeral I wear casual clothes as does nearly every one else here in my neck of the woods.
Did any of the first century Xia ever wear a suit and tie ? or did they wear their everyday clothes when they gathered together in a meeting.? They never had special clothes for special occasions back then.
Just another controlling factor that the GB puts on their members.
original reddit post (removed).
If these accusations against Lloyd Evans are true and they seem to be according to Evans own words out of his own mouth ,then i`m flabbergasted how anyone can still support him ,still throw money at him to keep supporting his poor choices / lifestyle living , cheating on his wife , and family.?
Regardless of what good he has done in the past as an activist ,it doesn`t excuse how he has lied and misappropriated funds meant for his activism against the JW / WT religion and used for his dysfunctional lifestyle with hookers ,misusing those funds.
He is a fraud.
It makes you wonder about the caliber of people that support him and his lifestyle.?!

Who the bloody hell is Kenneth Cooky ?
in a recent post ffghost made a comment about how they're always inserting modern concepts into biblical narratives to make it relatable to jw's organization.
here are some that come to mind:.
- the capitalized term "governing body" when referring to the older men in jerusalem (really just another group of christians that paul outspokenly disagreed with and didn't look to for approval).
Yes I too remember the beardless Jesus picture , it really goes to show you how dishonest and what means they will go to and deceive you.

i had an aunt that had rheumatic fever as a child and only had an iq the high 70's.
but, absolutely no one was able to bs her on an emotional level.
she had an uncanny ability to see through people's bs.
Having a high IQ doesn`t equate with having common sense or critical thinking skills.
i just picked up a few from mark jones as follows:.
i see is that the vast majority of jws don't seem to understand what their religion actually teaches.. the more controversial or embarrassing doctrine - although still official doctrine that has never been rescinded - is just not talked about anymore in the magazines.
there are dinosaurs living on venus.https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/2fowhx/dinosaurs_on_venus/.
Are ex JW`s here aware that 6000 years of human existance on earth ending in 1975 was preceded by an earlier timeframe of 6000 years ending in the late 1800`s ?
Something to do with a calculation error of some prior bible scholar ? or some such thing ?
It is recorded in one of their publications somewhere .
