breaking news | resuming public witnessing.
on may 31, 2022, the governing body informed all branch committees that they may now resume all forms of public witnessing with the exception of the door-to-door ministry.
That`s good ,no waking us up these cold wintry mornings and we can then do a lot of anti witnessing to those still trapped in the Borg doing cart work if we are so inclined to do so.
We should be able to form great questions for them to mull over even if they don`t respond to us at the time .
Once a seed of doubt is planted in their mind who knows what will result ?
You can`t unhear what you heard.
wt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!
and the end times.
a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?
Jehovah / Yahweh must really hate humans to banish Satan to earth when he could have sent him to the other side of the universe or just kill him .
He didn`t have to wait more than 6000 years to send him to earth did he.
i just found out this evening, may 27th, that the well-known greek musician, vangelis, passed away just last week.
may 17th, in fact.
he was 79 years old, which, well, as you know, is old.
Farewell Vangelis. I thank you for your musical talents and contributions to the music world.
I second that and thanks for posting titch,I wasn`t aware of his passing .
Sorry, I have to disagree with you that 79 is old .I consider 90 as being old but maybe that`s because I`ll soon be 83.
the most powerful had their meeting in davos this week.
it is organized by wef.
(world economic forum).
Now when it looks like WEF is even more powerful than the US, could WEF be the sevenheaded beast in Revelation 13?
The short answer is NO
The bigger picture is you have to believe the Bible is a set of books inspired by a GOD.
I don`t.
The set of books are written by humans over a long period of time with scientific and geological inaccuracies as well as historical fallacies .
And humans are the ones that determined which books were to be included in the Bible and not a GOD ,and they don`t even agree on which books and what number of books were to be included
.I rest my case.
i saw a post pop up on some click bait where serena williams saying she was praying for armageddon to come and that the jws have said we are living in critical times hard to deal with.this was her response to the texas school shooting.
another cult catch phrase.
i am sorry williams you aint no jw.
You and me both LUHE
, Typical non thinking of a wannabe Jehovah`s Witness who doesn`t have a clue what the religion is all about.
Any other normal JW person who mimicked her lifestyle would be hauled before a judicial meeting and counselled or disfellowshipped long ago.
And she get`s away with her lifestyle because of her fame as a tennis player and the money she can donate to the organization.
If you put those questions to any practicing JW today their response would be ,oh but she`s not really a JW .
What you should ask then is : Why hasn`t the JW organization publicly reproved her or openly come out and said she is not a Jehovah`s witness as she does not live up to our standards.?
only jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.
“now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.
What was Satan doing in heaven for so long after rebelling against Jehovah anyway ? Should `nt he have been kicked out when he did so ?
Why was `nt he put down then and there. ( in death)
And why earth why not some uninhabitable planet ? where he could`nt do any harm ?
Why did it take him six thousand years to act ?

Have these translations stopped using the name Jehovah ? and if so have they adopted the more correct name Yahweh ? Or have they just used LORD and GOD instead.?
And do you think its possible that the Catholic Knox version of the Bible used YAHWEH throughout the old testament because of the JW`s use of Jehovah.?
how do they verify this claim,if they can and how easy do we debunk this claim if we can ?.
what is needed to verify a claim made by anyone or an organization ?.
i`m interested in what you have to say about this ..
Maybe this helps ??
The Bible Student movement is a Millennialist[1] Restorationist Christian movement. It emerged from the teachings and ministry of Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), also known as Pastor Russell, and his founding of the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society in 1881. Members of the movement have variously referred to themselves as Bible Students, International Bible Students, Associated Bible Students, or Independent Bible Students.
I also understood the Berean Bible Students in Melbourne Aust. were a breakaway group from Russell according to a then Presiding Overseer in the 1960`s .
i found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.
anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.
he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.
Simon,
I loved Xmas and Easter as I put my hand up every time because nobody else ever wanted to work those holidays .
And it just became accepted that I would be available as it turned out for 28 years .

I think Rutherford was determined to distance himself any way he could from Christendoms religions and call the religion Jehovah`s Witnesses .
I think the mistake he made was settling on the name Jehovah which was in fact used throughout Christendom for centuries.
Inscribed in stone on ancient churches in Europe and elsewhere.
And the Catholic Douay version of the Bible.
Maybe he should have used something like Yahweh or some equivalent to differentiate themselves even more from Christendom.
