Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower

by Indoubtbigtime in

i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.

they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.

they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

Is or was JEHOVAH GOD partial , and still is ?

by smiddy3 in

i mean for the fact that he only dealt with and chose one body of people ?.

whatabout all of the other bodies of people all around the earth at that time ?.

apparently he didn`t care much for them !.

Why couldn`t he have embraced all of mankind living on the earth at that time and taken them under his wing ?

My conclusion is GOD, by whatever name you call him, can`t possibly exist .

Should Jehovah's Witnesses Trust the Governing Body?

by Vanderhoven7 in

if there is evidence that jesus invisibly chose specific men at headquarters in brooklyn new york in 1919 to be his faithful slave and that mandate and ability passed on to future directors...then the answer might just be a resounding maybe.. what is the evidence for this invisible appointment and what is the evidence that this is just watchtower mythology?.

i hope jws like scholar and fisherman will explain why the trust the gb.. i must be honest, i see no evidence at all to put trust in either the 1919 selection or the current men taking the lead in warwick.

What the GB members of JW`s beleived in 1918-19 and which they claim was approved by Jehovah God and Christ Jesus ,today there is virtually nothing they taught and preached back then that is beleived ,taught or preached today .

So why would they have been approved of back then ? if nothing taught back then is beleived today ?.......Simply stated they couldn`t have been selected by GOD & Jesus.

They are delusional .

Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?

by LostintheFog1999 in

were you ever on a congregation picnic?

i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".

well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

Hell, what is it

by Anony Mous in

so perhaps we all heard the jw story about jesus talking to gehenna and he was referring to a place outside the city where there was a dump burning refuse and everyone knew what it meant.. according to jw.org: tradition relates that the valley of hinnom thereafter became a place for the disposal of garbage.

and the bible provides confirmation for this.

at jeremiah 31:40, for example, the valley of hinnom is evidently called the “low plain of the carcasses and of the fatty ashes.” there was also the “gate of the ash-heaps,” a gate that seems to have opened out onto the eastern extremity of the valley of hinnom at its juncture with the kidron valley.—nehemiah 3:13, 14.. i think i heard that in the study of the greatest teacher book first.

Are the statistics out yet?

by slimboyfat in

isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?

or have they stopped publishing it?

did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

We wait with baited breath LOL , and can only hope they are honest in their report .

Is it Logical To Beleive In A Creator - GOD ? In This Scientific Age ?

by smiddy3 in

jw
friends

i don`t think so .

hasn`t science ,astronomy ,time , .....proven it an illogical beleif ?.

with the information about this solar system and it`s planets ,other stars and their planets that we have information about ,and the fact that no god has ever revealed him/her self in any shape or form 'there is no evidence that a creator / god has ever existed.. except in the minds of humans who want to control a section of humanity .. the fact that religions rely on "you have to have faith" to beleive in a god ,surely is a cop out.. i look forward to your comments .. and a happy new year to you all..

In other words, something some thing always existed, God.

That can also be said about the physical ,material universe , is that not also true ?

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

by Newly Enlightened in

original reddit post (removed).

smiddy3

but you have not at all mentioned the people he affected by doxing them or his "dating" of sex-trafficked young women(girls) and using prostitutes from poor countries that exploit young women in desperation, all while having his wedding ring on. This does not affect you in the slightest at all.

You are correct in pulling me up on this ,I haven`t been reading anything about L. E . since day one ,I have really no idea about his activities or his lifestyle the only reason I posted was because of the amount of activities posts devoted to the subject of Lloyd Evans , as I have said before my bad and I apologise to one and all who have taken offence at my comments.

JW Broadcasting - simply a platform for narcissists?

by eyeslice in

jw
friends

one thing i notice from sitting through a number of broadcasts is just how much these guys love their titles.

it's always brother such-and-such, member of the gb, helper to the teaching committee, etc.

it's never simply brother such-and-such, a local elder with such-and-such congregation.. it seems to me the witnesses are pretty quick to pick up on catholics who call their priests father, which at the end of the day is in much the same vein simply a title.. i suspect these titles point to a huge amount of narcissism of the part of those who revel in such titles, certainly it doesn't seem to fall in line with christ's advocation that the greatest amongst you should be be the least.

enoughisenough, { and anybody else who are looking at this post }.

You are quite correct and that is exactly what I see ?

Jehovah is portrayed in white with a yellow glow around him and Jesus is on his right hand side in a blue/green / garment.

Maybe it might help to use a magnifying glass on your PC get a clearer picture.

Admittedly it is very difficult to make out ,but I assure you it is their.
