In the "basement video" you will notice how the doctrine regarding the "Great Tribulation" is Outdated. Kevin, from the drama, left the JWs just few minutes before GT, but that doesn't mean he won't "survive" Armageddon. That's what they "promised" now in "new clarification", at least.

PM Harold Wilson, UK and JWs. Anyone know if this headline was to be taken literally? Satire?

I am not trying to sell an item on eBay. This item has been listed up there for quite some time, and the seller is in the UK. I was only wondering if anyone knew why the reference to JWs was on the cover. Did he actually say something like what's on the cover? https://www.ebay.com/itm/155110296118 The description. says: The front cover features Harold Wilson - Wislon Joins Jehovah’s Witnesses. Wilson is saying: “I cannot be a Christian and Prime Minister". Note that they spelled Jehovah's Witnesses correctly, but not Wilson. The Awake! mentions him a couple of times: *** g74 8/8 p. 30 Watching the World *** Church and State ◆ The …

I've seen this rumor all over xjw sites, they are making a huge deal about it, but if it is true that Morris is not a gb anymore, then my guess is that he is retiring. I don't buy into all the fluff that he was disfellowshipped or asked to step down due to a drinking problem, etc. Again my thought is he just wants to retire, and that's all. If he is leaving due to health issue's, I hope his health is ok but if not I pray he gets the care he needs. But either way he will be replaced, angry opposers were hoping this would be the starting of the end of the gb, but that wont happen.

In WTJorg, some say one thing, and some say something completely different. So who should be trusted? "Food at the proper time" that confuses, if you can see the difference. But GJ testimony is not on the "spiritual table", because there are reasons for it. GB in 2015: GB in 2023: 9. What quality is needed to understand Bible prophecy? Explain. 9 Be humble. Jehovah promises to help the humble. (Jas. 4:6) So we need to pray for His help to understand Bible prophecy. We must also acknowledge that we need the help of the channel he is using to give us our spiritual food at the proper time. (Luke 12:42) Jehovah is a God of order, so…

Tell me, please, how can imperfect people be perfectly frank in their statements about own mistakes? Doesn't imperfection imply the constant possibility of error, by the own admission of these church leaders? How, then, can the alleged sincerity in statements be spared from mistakes? Is there really such sincerity among religious leaders that does not hide a touch of falsehood?

7 Children are not fully developed in their ability to think, to reason, or to recognize and avoid danger. (1 Cor. 13:11) https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2019400 However, contrary to statement above they should be baptized as soon as possible as we can see from article bellow, said by WTJWorg. Should My Child Put Off Baptism? Occasionally, even when children qualify for baptism, their parents may decide that it should be postponed. What may be their reasons? I fear that if my child gets baptized, he might later fall into serious sin and get disfellowshipped. Is it reasonable to believe that a young person who puts off bap…

“But this little fellow is essentially a scavenger, doing the work for which he was created: returning trash, garbage, and dead carcasses to the earth.” (Ref: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101992046?q=cockroaches&p=par ) Genesis 6:21 reads: “And on your part get yourself some of every kind of food that is eaten, and stow it with you, so as to have it for your eating and for theirs.” BLE (Ref: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/by/1/6 ) If we accept Genesis 6:21 literally for what it says, what does that mean regarding what Noah took onto the ark as food ‘for [his] eating and for [the animals]?

Recently, there was an instructional video for JW elders, leaked by a Bethel insider, that showed a meeting of JW elders of a congregation where the CO questioned the status of an elder. Namely, the child of that elder is a student of higher education. And that is not appropriate to be in a family where the father is also the elder of the congregation. Everything was directed against this JW elder and showed once again how WTJWorg is against higher education for JW members. Since that video no longer exists because the GB spies were able to hunt down this JW individual and shut down all the videos that came from this Bethel volunteer, I came across this YT video wh…

quote from document: The reasons for the decision The Religious Society Act sets several conditions for being able to receive state support. In our investigations, we uncovered several violations of the Religious Communities Act. 1. Right to free withdrawal according to the Religious Communities Act § 2 Persons who voluntarily leave the faith community shall be treated in the same way as excluded members. This means that remaining members, family and friends, will not have contact with the excluded. The preparatory work for the Religious Communities Act § 2 points out that the right to freedom of religion presupposes that withdrawal can take place unco…

The Answer May Surprise You! The screen shots below give you some very strong evidence that is undeniable. Even when you use various languages for Jehovah, all language transliterations go back to the Hebrew Tetragrammation יהוה – as you can SEE. The ‘truth’ is so simple isn’t it? Will they repent to keep on living or will their pride bring them down to the valley of hinnom of everlasting destruction?

WTJWorg is a very strange creation. They preach that they will be "persecuted" by world authorities, institutions and other people who "hate" them because of Jesus and that this is one of the proofs that they are the true religion. On the other hand, they don't want to be "persecuted", so they constantly go to court and file lawsuits more and more frequently. They are absurd in their theology and in the way they try to solve their problems.

Jehovah's Witness was attacked by husband who feared she was going to cancel Christmas

A Jehovah's Witness was attacked by her husband who feared she was going to cancel Christmas, a court has heard. Jason Mortimore struck his wife Rachael in the face three times with a magazine before burning her Bible and other religious documents in a garden incinerator. Mortimore, 46, admitted racially aggravated assault and criminal damage at Exeter magistrates court yesterday (TUES). He was fined a total of £666 but the court did not impose a restraining order on him. The court heard that the couple had been married for 12 years and have three children. In November Mortimore saw that his wife, who "has returned to her faith of Jehovah Witness", ha…

Some participants here may recall the utter shock of what our JW friends suffered in Malawi. The persecution was horrendous. It was all over a document known as an MCP party card. How many here have ever held one in their hand to look it over and see what it is? JWs of the time were under the impression that, as it was quoted in our publications, "they can give their allegiance only to Jehovah God and his kingdom". (Ref https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1968081?q=they+can+give+their+allegiance+only+to+Jehovah+God+and+his+kingdom&p=par#h=16 ) Under that impression, JWs in Malawi were refusing to obtain the MCP party card.

Elon Musk recently opined that what makes things funny is that they have a “revealed truth” in order to be funny. Something that everybody “knows”, but never thought about. I agree with this. The Babylon Bee is a religiously oriented web site that excoriates EVERYBODY, but one might suspect favors Jehovah’s Witnesses only because they seem to have the same clear vision of “Core Truths” that JWs have. They have produced a series of five short YouTube video clips about “Californians Move To Texas” that has MANY subtle screamingly funny “revealed truths”. Well worth the time to watch at least three times each, if for no other reason than understanding what m…

Over the years I have immensely enjoyed the continuous religious satire of “The Babylon Bee”, as they have excoriated and sometimes figuratively disemboweled Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, and Mega churches, the idea of a burning hell, and doctrines galore. Today, it was Jehovah’s Witnesses turn, and it was painfully funny! I had to ask ChatGBT what a “J-Dub” was, because I thought it was an insulting term. Then I had to think about that answer until it made sense ChatGBT: “The term "J-Dub" likely originated as a casual and abbreviated way for people to refer to Jehovah's Witnesses. It's a combination of the letter "J" from Jehovah and "Dub" from the "W" in…

After these things I heard something like the loud sound of a great crowd in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,” (Rev 19:1 LEB) Trinitarians falsely proclaim that God has No Name Trinitarians falsely proclaim that God’s Name cannot be found in the Greek or NT Jesus’ Name when translated means ‘Jehovah is Salvation’ John’s Name when translated means ‘Jehovah has been Gracious’ Matthew’s Name when translated means “Gift of Jehovah’ So they are many Names that Have Jehovah in them in the Greek! Jesus – John – Matthew – to list a few. The divine name appears in its abbreviated form in the Chr…

But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples were telling him: “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them: “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, I will never believe it.” Well, eight days later his disciples were again indoors, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and he stood in their midst and said: “May you have peace.” Next he said to Thomas: “Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick it into my side, and stop doubting but believe.” In answer Thoma…

Cryosupernatant plasma (also known as cryo-poor plasma, cryoprecipitate depleted [or reduced] plasma) is a product rendered from blood that is left to individual JWs to accept or decline purely as a personal choice. For whatever reason(s), cryosupernatant plasma has never been mentioned in our publications addressing use of products rendered from blood. This despite cryoprecipitate plasma finding ready reference in the general search bar at jw.org. Medical use of cryosupernatant plasma is said to have markedly improved medical outcomes for JWs who accept it, and particularly for those suffering from acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). In this…

I just read that Shinzo Abe's alleged killer assassinated Abe (2020) because he thought that Abe had ties to the Unification Church (aka "Moonies") and because the killer's mother had given so much money to the church that he says it brought his family to ruin. This reminded me to ask if anyone here knows if there is any evidence for the rumors that the killer/murderer who shot and killed so many Witnesses in Hamburg was also angry that he had given so much money (millions?) to the Witnesses before becoming disillusioned. (Someone said that he had asked for his contribution back and was refused.)

Many Countries offer Social Benefits to their citizens to give them a helping hand. These Benefits were meant to be given for a limited time. Those precious benefits will come to an abrupt end as the Political Kings of the earth turn against the World of False Religion to confiscate and plunder her Wealth. Look! I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. (Rev 2:22) And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. (Rev 18:4) “And the k…
