At 1 Peter 3:3 Paul wrote "Do not let your adornment be external—the braiding of hair and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothing— "
When Paul wrote "Do Not" was that just a suggestion or a command?just saying!eyeuse2badub

Once again the wt has bragging rights about 'numbers'. Numbers are extremely important to the wt society. They can no longer brag about the increase in members or the increase in the number of congregations or how much literature they gave away. So now they have to brag about how many languages they have translated. They have translated, not the Bible, but only their bullshit into 1,000 languages.
Oh---they can brag about the increase in the numbers of how many can now sip the wine and nibble the crackers at the Memorial. lol lol

Did You Ever Get Hit On By An Elder?
by minimus inthe organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.
never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.
do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT November 3, 2019 WT Study Article (September 2019) JAH VALUES HUMBLE SERVANTS
by blondie inblondie’s food for thought, 11/03/2019 wt study article, jah values humble servants, september 2019. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-september-2019/jehovah-values-his-humble-servants/.
opening comments/food for thought.
i first asked myself, why does the wts sometimes use the word “servant” then “slave”?

Hey Blondie,
Good critique!
Some more food for thought is that jw's claim to be sooooo Christian but not one mention of jesus in that wt study yesterday! I guess he wasn't humble enough to make article yesterday!

Russian raid on 50 Jehovahs witnesses
by Diogenesister inthere has been a raid on a large jehovahs witness gathering in norilsk, above the arctic circle, according to the moscow times.. a building with 50 jws inside was surrounded by masked, armed special forces forces who burst into the building and demanded they surrender all electronic devices.. i'll link the article but it's obviously going to drive these witnesses deeper into the religion.
not to mention the images conjured up in the report are likely to be used by watchtower as more fear mongering, since its very much like last year's terrifying assembly videos where witnesses were huddled in a field and surrounded with similarly masked, armed men.. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/10/22/russian-special-agents-raid-jehovahs-witnesses-resort-as-crackdown-intensifies-a67855.

Another opportunity for the gb to muster the troops in a massive letter writing campaign. At least it keeps the troops busy when they aren't 'cart witnessing----sitting down in the vicinity of 'the cart' using their cell phones!

Fore decades we have lived with the assurance that jehober always protects "his people". So either he doesn't have any "people" or we lived with a lie!
Like I told my pimi wife, "Jehovah always protects his own-------------------------------except when he doesn't."

I was so fu*king indoctrinated that I actually felt euphoric about being a pioneer for a few years before going to jail "for my faith"! Getting that 100 hours a month out in preaching was the ultimate high------until it wasn't!

January 2020 Watchtower - Dogma being force-fed yet again as "truth"!
by The Fall Guy inif the wording & context of a scripture is dismissed at the outset, then every statement and assumption which follows is implicititly false.
in the very first study article, the gibbering body continues to indoctrinate the sheeple to accept that over 500 people met jesus on the mountain - despite the blatant fact that 1 corinthians 15:6 says absolutely nothing about the 500 people being anywhere near galilee!
(matthew 28:16-20) however, the 11 disciples went to galʹi·lee to the mountain where jesus had arranged for them (the 11 disciples) to meet.
