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.

Regarding his disciples, Jesus said to Jehovah in prayer: "I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. I do not request that you take them out of the world, but that you watch over them because of the wicked one. They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world." Later, Jesus was talking to Pilate. Pilate asked if Jesus was a king. "Jesus answered: “My Kingdom is no part of this world. If my Kingdom were…

"Therefore, whoever eats the loaf or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty respecting the body and the blood of the Lord." If you see a member of the governing body partaking this year while there is still a "disfellowshipping doctrine" in effect throughout the organization, then you will know that they are partaking unworthily and are guilty respecting the body and blood of the Lord. "First let a man approve himself after scrutiny, and only then let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup. For the one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment against himself. That is why many among you are weak and s…

You’re Invited to a Sacred Event! The Memorial of Christ is not the Last Supper that the world continues to celebrate. The Last Supper is the Last Passover Meal that was first established in Egypt. The Jewish Day began at Sunset. Since the Sun sets at various times, the Passover Supper would begin and be consumed as the Sun was beginning to sink into the Horizon while there is still Sunlight. The meal needed to be eaten in hast in its entirety during twilight or between the two evenings of the sun setting. (Exodus 12:6) The Last Passover Meal was Nisan 14th, 33 CE with the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law. Today as Christians, we invite others to sim…

There are 407 verses in the NWT Bible that mention blood. Can you find even one that supports the "accepting blood fractions are a conscience matter" statement? (I can't. Because accepting blood fractions is unclean and clearly apostasy and standing away from Jehovah God.)

"...Vehren said police were alerted to the shooting about 9:15 p.m. and were on the scene quickly. He said that after officers arrived and found people with apparent gunshot wounds on the ground floor, they heard a shot from an upper floor and found a fatally wounded person upstairs who may have been a shooter. He said police did not have to use their firearms. Vehren said there was no indication that a shooter was on the run and that it appeared likely that the perpetrator was either in the building or among the dead.

The 144,000... when are they chosen and sealed? Brother Rando is a student of Prophecy and one of Jehovah's Witnesses. His interests are directed towards how the time of the end would come about. His Goal is to educate the public that Jehovah Witnesses have accepted the Sacrifice in Christ, whose Blood was shed for many as a ransom and exercise faith in 'Jesus Christ' for salvation. (Romans 10:9) As a student of Prophecy, the passing of time often reveals the specific timing of such divine declarations. The Prophets that announced them do not always know the exact timing. The Sealing of the 144,000 is now at hand. Another timed event that nee…

Jehovah has allowed the nations time to experiment with all different forms of government. The nations have not yet had the opportunity to have a world government without the interference of religious institutions present. Very soon they will be given that opportunity. The Bible says the UN will hold power "for a little while". Three and a half years is a little while compared to how long the other forms of government have been tried. True worshippers will be "fed in the wilderness" for 3 1/2 years. That "wilderness" will be without the obvious structure of the organization that exists today, namely, the easily identifiable…

(There are many faithful, good men who serve as elders. They are Real Elders, older brothers who truly love Jehovah and the family. Jehovah will bless those men. 💖Those men deserve respect and are a target of the wicked one. We pray for those hard-working Real Elders to have strength for the work now and ahead.) (There are also Fake Elders, wolves in sheeps clothing, bad men who serve as "elders". They are Fake Elders, men who love prominence and hypocrisy. They lord it over the flock and use their title as an excuse for all kinds of wrongdoing. They are sons of the Devil and hurt the sheep, either directly or by turning a blind eye when other wolves take adva…

So last November I spent 2 weeks in Israel and got to enjoy several of their favorite foods and food traditions in the region. So since some of us live in different countries I thought it would be cool if we shared our countries favorite foods. I like to learn other cultures so me being a foodie like to make the foods from other cultures or countries. My latest attempts were making Halva, Tzatziki sauce, Gyro, etc. I've already cooked mexican/spanish food, and Italian food and enjoy cooking those. But I have yet to try cooking other stuff And I enjoy cooking traditional recipies, so I'd love to read traditional recipes from your homelands or places you have visited. I rea…

I get why jw's and other religions believe Jehovah created everything through Jesus, Jesus being His first creation, so my question is not directly asked of the jw's. And I get why you all interpret certain scriptures the way you do and translate the scriptures the way you do, different denominations interpret scripture differently, as you know it also happens in the so called christendom. But a thought occurred to me today in that if Jehovah created everything, why did He need to create Jesus to create everything through? He could have just done it Himself. Cut out the middle-man which could eliminate a ton of controversy thousands of years in the future. You …

Faithful to God yet rejected by the organization? Don't despair. Things are changing quickly. "...the scene of this world is changing." Reports out of the east (Asia) and out of the north (Russia) disturbed Putin. He has gone out in a great rage to annihilate and devote many to destruction. He has planted his "tents" in the way of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. Putin has come to his end, and there is no helper for him. "But reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. And he will plant his royal tents between th…

This is another letter written by a disciple of Christ, and sent to the congregation upon leaving the Watchtower. To whom it may concern, Over the past year or so, it started becoming apparent to me that the Jehovah's Witness organisation does not have God's spirit or His true blessing, so I started reading the Bible, meditating on the scriptures, and praying to our loving Creator for wisdom and for His Holy Spirit. It didn’t take me long to realise that I was part of a false religion, and that we are being told to in fact, flee from Babylon the Great ourselves. Revelation 18:4 – “Then I heard another voice form heaven say: “Come out of her, my people…

Over a hundred years ago, anointed men decided to start a religion. (Gen 11:2-4; Zech 5:10-11,4; Exod 20:39) Their lustful, carnal desires led them astray, breaking their covenant with the chief cornerstone of God’s Spiritual Temple. (Luke 22:31; 1 Pet 5:8; Luke 4:5-7; 1 Tim 1:19; Isa 59:2; Isa 24:5; 1 Cor 6:15; Col 2:19) Their turn against the covenant, gave Satan a foothold to instigate his idea, which is to deceive the “elect” in the last days. (Deut 29:18-29; Heb 12:15,16; Matt 7:20; Rev 8;10-11; 13:11; Matt 24:24,25; 16:13-16 ) These men, enticed by riches, prominence and power, became Satan’s pawn to destroy the anointed before the coming of the Kingdom…

@AnnaNana I think it's time to lock this post since @Moise will not stop with the ad hominem attacks and ridiculous threats. If you would like to do more ad hominem attacks, @Moise, then perhaps you can start a new "Rebuttal" thread. You just answered the question on why the site owner is allowing you to post nonsense and make threats against the Watchtower. Ad hominem attacks that you Audrey are using against the Watchtower and its members and much more? Stupidity knows no bounds, yet you use words like @Pudgy Related?

"‘Hear and warn the house of Jacob,’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, the God of armies. ‘For in the day I call Israel to account for all his revolts, I will also call for an accounting against the altars of Bethʹel; The horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the earth. I will strike down the winter house along with the summer house.’ ‘The houses of ivory will perish, And the great houses will come to their end,’ declares Jehovah.”" The Bible shows the UN will attack false religion. It also shows there is apostasy in the true religion. In the past, Jehovah allowed the nations to clean His House. (…

A friend of mine wrote this to the members of her congregation upon leaving the organization: To my brothers and sisters, I’m sure you’ve realised by now that something isn’t quite right with me as I haven’t been around in months. The truth is I have been going through a crisis and the last few months have been the hardest time of my life. I couldn’t speak to anyone until I had told my mom which I finally got around to doing a few days ago and now it’s only fair that I tell you and I hope you will take the time to read my letter so I can explain. Before you do though, I entreat you to pray to God to open up your heart and mind and prayerfully examine the scrip…

The context of Revelation chapter 11 is after the anointed are sealed (hence the measuring) but still on earth. "And a reed like a rod was given to me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple sanctuary of God and the altar and those worshipping in it." After the UN becomes the world power, they will trample Jehovah's organization on earth for 42 months. "But as for the courtyard that is outside the temple sanctuary, leave it out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city underfoot for 42 months." Zechariah depicts the "two anointed ones" as standing beside Jesus. Th…

@AnnaNana: Why should this poster be given the last word before the post is closed? Jesus is the Messiah. He is also my friend, my king and my brother. He is a friend of all those who love Jehovah and obey Him. Jehovah is the One who decides whether a label is appropriate. @Moise Racette: Glad to see the poster contradict the earlier message. This should tell the viewer NOT to take the poster seriously. Now the topic can be closed.
