  Covid 19, is this the WT new push to bring back ex JW's before the end of the system?

  by William Penwell in

  not sure if this was covered as i could not find anything on it but talking to my son he tells me one of the gb had a talk telling them this is a sign of the last days.

  have the jw's being pressured into talking to relatives and friends to bring them back into the fold before the end of the system blah blah blah?

  the reason why i ask is my son was saying his mother has being on his case the last few weeks and then two days ago i got a telephone message from my sister, that hasn't spoke to me in 4 years, asking how i am doing.

  When liquor was legalized again after Prohibition (1920-1933) in the USA ended, did jw's have a problem drinking alcohol? (And we know that some jw's had no problem with drinking alcohol during Prohibition) The only thing that made drinking alcohol during Prohibition wrong to jw's was that it was illegal. The affects of alcohol and the results from drinking it didn't change after Prohibition was repealed. Only the law changed.

  So, now the law has made using marijuana legal. I smoked a bit of weed in the 60's (bad boy) and I'll probably visit my local cannabis store soon! If the GB members needed medicinal marijuana (like Rutherford needed booze) you can bet your ass that they would say it's okay now that it's legal!

  for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.

  paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.

  paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.

  Wonder how many Zoom meetings have been Zoombombed. It has become so prevalent, that the Public schools in NY have outlawed zoom in the classroom. Have any here witnessed a hack?

  Don't know if it's happened yet but sounds like a good idea! Imagine zooming in on some porn site during the watchtower meeting! lol

  The whole fucking ransom thing is hard to square up with the facts. According to jw's, jehober required that a ransom price be paid--right!

  Supposedly, Satan took/kidnapped something from jehober and mankind, namely, perfect human life!

  So to get back what was taken, a ransom was required and needed to be paid!

  Logically, the perpetrator, the bad guy, Satan, the one who took/kidnapped perfect human life should be the one asking for a ransom price to be paid. Satan should be the one setting the price of the ransom!

  So then, why is it that jehober set the ransom price? When a person or a valuable item is takes/stolen, who asks for a ransom? The person from whom it was taken or the person who committed the crime?

  Maybe it's just me that has the problem!

  I will feel very silly sitting in front of my iPad with my pimi wife, zoomed in, during the memorial ritual this year. And of course, she insists that we have bread and wine sitting in front of us (wtf----- cult ritual). At least we won't have to go to the 'after memorial get-together' for cake and coffee!

  Gas lighting at it's best!

  But one added thing! Even when I was a very young enthusiastic jw, I could never quite square up the thought that everything written in the book of Revelation was symbolic, EXCEPT........the number 144,000. But I went along anyway!

  How will the GB respond to the new treatment for COVID-19?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one new cutting-edge attempt to deal with the novel coronavirus is to take plasma from those who have had covid-19, recovered, and have the natural antibodies against it, and then put those antibodies in victims who have the virus and need help.. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/03/826638981/hospitals-universities-push-for-treatment-using-plasma-from-recovered-covid-pati.

  isn't taking plasma one of the the no-nos according to wts doctrine?does anyone see "new light" on the horizon in this matter that would allow the faithful sheep to accept such treatment?.

  What I see happening is the wt making it a "conscience matter" on whether or not to be vaccinated. In their very convoluted explanation of scientific shit, that they know nothing about, the wt will probably find a way to 'explain' that the vaccine serum is made from blood "fractions", therefore making it a conscience matter.

  The Covid-19 pandemic is way too hot a political/social issue for the wt to stand up against. Maybe in the old days with Frantz and Rutherford but not today. The gb know that they have too much to lose. There is a huge leap between a few individuals refusing blood transfusions to the possibility of infecting entire communities with Covid-19. I don't think the Great 8 (aka GB) have the balls to stand up to the whole world!

  Today’s nauseating WT

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am sitting at home, trying not to barf as this wt paragraph by paragraph tries to character assassinate those who have the temerity to take the emblems.

  the unwritten, unspoken subtext is that they, the gb, the now distinct and separate “slave” are above all this.

  they, the gold standard are immune to this questioning.

  The "new" 144,000 are soon going to 'overlap' the old 144,000. So there will be 2 "classes" of 144,000. Two "classes" with one hope.

  How does that explanation sound? Does it qualify as 'new light'? Remember you heard it here first!

  How to CYA (cover your ass) Watchtower style

  by eyeuse2badub in

  2. beliefs

  today’s watchtower article was the ultimate cya.

  for friggin’ decades all we heard was that as armageddon gets nearer and nearer, the number of the ‘great crowd’ will increase and the number of the “little flock” will decrease!

  in fact, it was one of the proofs that the end was near!.

  Surprise! The “great crowd is shrinking and the “little flock’ is growing. It can only mean one thing………Armageddon is getting further away!

  The attempt to ‘cover your ass’ was pathetic!
