Yes the all powerful, all loving heavenly father,jehober, cares for his earthly children soooooooooooooooooo much that he has allowed billions of his children to suffer horribly through out the millenniums just to prove a point! Who the fuck in their right mind could possibly believe that?

what happened to all those new printing presses?
the wt said they were going to double the amount of mag's every month.
i wonder what ever happened.
15 years ago, the internet was Satan's tool but the printing press was jehober's tool!
Looks like Satan won round!

in 1985 a new phrase was added to our vocabulary, "new scrolls", complete with an explanation as to how they will benefit those who inhabit the new world.
the following five references are the only quotations of this new 'teaching', but incredibly, these two words have been indelibly stamped on most people's minds by repetition from platform speakers, and in general conversation.. w85 6/15 p. 18 par.
21 "during this thousand-year judgment period, jehovah evidently will give additional instructions, unknown to us at present, as new "scrolls" are opened.
"New scrolls"! lol, lol, lol. Yea I can see the GB rolling out this old bullshit teaching again soon! And they, of course, will be the ones who get to write the "new scrolls".
I'm pretty sure that them there "new scrolls" will include some command to give your 'valuable things' to jehober, by way of the current GB!

i’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.
my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.
i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.
You know that the numbers will be astronomical when published by the wt! Hell no one had to go anywhere to attend, no one had to endure the "late" memorial at some ungodly hour and everyone living in a jw's house was probably 'forced' to "attend"! So when the reporting is relayed to the congregation even the household's dogs and cats will be counted.

not sure if this is in the right subject but here it goes.
i’ve asked this question to a few elders and bethelites but they don’t seem to understand or like the question.
to start off we have to agree that jehovah is all powerful.
No such thing as 'prophecy'. Just coincidental happenstance and generalization of circumstances.

recognizing that their states have one integrated regional economy, delaware governor john carney, new york governor andrew m. cuomo, new jersey governor phil murphy, connecticut governor ned lamont, pennsylvania governor tom wolf, and rhode island governor gina raimondo today announced the creation of a multi-state council to restore the economy and get people back to work.
this announcement builds on the states’ ongoing regional approach to combatting the covid-19 pandemic.. the coordinating group – comprised of one health expert, one economic development expert and the respective chief of staff from each state — will work together to develop a fully integrated regional framework to gradually lift the states’ stay at home orders while minimizing the risk of increased spread of the virus.. https://news.delaware.gov/2020/04/13/governor-carney-and-five-governors-announce-multi-state-council-to-get-people-back-to-work-and-restore-the-economy/.
meanwhile on the west coast:.
Yea the walls around tRump are starting to crumble! His administration is in constant flux and the only reasonable, intelligent folks that he appointed have quit or been fired! Good to see those with a measure of authority finally 'growing a pair' and standing up to the bully! Hes proved that he's totally incapable of handling a crisis!

i listen to rush most days for entertainment.
i agree with him on some issues and disagree on others.
but today he said something i believe is an out and out lie.
Limbaugh could easily be a GB member for jw's. He certainly has the necessary credentials. He has a large following, his followers believe his unmitigated bullshit and hang on his every word as if god is talking to them, he's full of himself, he lies to people's face, he exerts his 'presence and pseudo authority' over others, will not listen to any reasonable person who has a different opinion and just plain babbles.
And in the end he will die believing that he did good in this life!

i really don’t know.
did they have it?

BEST MEMORIAL EVER!!!!!!!
Got to stay at home and pretend to care about the bullshit ritual with my wife!

jehovah`s witnesses have taken it upon themselves that they have been chosen by god to be his witnesses in what they believe to be the last days ,the time of the end spoken of by the prophets of old.. they are on record as stating in their publications that it is their calling and duty to preach this message of announcing jehovah`s kingdom loud and clear publicly and from house to house even when under ban.. which they have done on many occasions in the past putting their trust in jehovah .. taking to heart acts ch.5 : 17- 32 which states in a nutshell ," we must obey god as ruler rather than men " .
they are also on record that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one satan the devil to mislead all mankind.. this includes all governments ,religious leaders ,economic, and social systems ,they have even stated that the united nations was a counterfeit kingdom in opposition to the kingdom of god for the benefit of mankind.. so what do we see today ?
true , we have a pandemic with this covid-19 virus that is wreaking havoc in the worlds health systems causing death to many people on a scale not seen since the spanish flu pandemic a century ago.. now i`m just speaking from a jehovah`s witness mindset here,to put there money where their mouth is.
The world headquarters of jw's is in the USA as we all know! The GB will no doubt obey US governmental orders strictly as a matter of self preservation. Shut down the head(quarters) here in the USA and the body worldwide will die. Don't think that the GB will give up their cushy life style for some of their silly religious "principles" that can be miraculously changed with 'new light' in an instant!

great question to ask your pimi's.
if we truly are in final minutes of the last days before the great tribulation.
with most everyone home, why is the org.
Religion, including jw's, has never been about "saving" souls. It's about power and self preservation. In the case of the wt it was about literature sales. Now it's about real estate holdings.
Maybe among the rank and file, saving souls was important but not too much as one climbs higher up the ladder!
