Exactly, they honestly don't know.
But the lack of self awareness is astonishing.

Imagine them getting emotional and thanking God for the governing body lifting off burdens off their lives, it's unbelievable that these guys let themselves be slaves .. my goodness!

The future generations will read shits like this and laugh really hard at the stupidity

Well, truth be told, religion is what it is.

Postinor:


🤣🤣🤣🤣,72 virgins that you christains created as a way of making silly jokes of muslims show where it was written in the quran,secondly you are saying prophet muhammad pbuh does not know where he will end up but obviously.

Is like you just join the head-slamming religion abi?


Quran 56:36-38

Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation. And made them virgins, Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age, For the companions of the right [who are]


Abu Umama narrated: "The Messenger of God said, 'Everyone that God admits into paradise will be married to 72 wives; two of them are houris and seventy of his inheritance of the [female] dwellers of hell. All of them will have libidinous sex organs and he will have an ever-erect penis.' " (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 39)


See allah busy producing virgins una go fcckk in janah


Postinor:

Allah would never forsake his messengers unlike your religion that your god forsook his son on the cross,is your god that blood thirsty, and even after using the lie that jesus died for it sins you still have to work in righteousness before getting to paradise, so what was now the need for your god killing his son if not that your god is a stupid blood thirsty god

See allah forsaken Muhammad for days before been buried thought allah will ressurect him but they were disappointed in allah by failing to resurrect his one and only pedophile messenger

Sahih Bukhari 3667

Narrated ‘Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-‘Aliya) ‘Umar stood up and said, “By Allah! Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is not dead!” ‘Umar (later on) said, “By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that.” He said, “Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men.” Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), kissed him and said, “Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)), you are good in life and in death.

Courz:
Based on the New Governing Body Update in the Jehovah's witness website, certain changes have been announced as a response to their heavy loss of Memberships and loss in Court cases. These changes are minor but serious to the typical Jehovah's Witness who has taken the words of the Governing body members way too seriously.

The changes are as follows:

1. The Governing body has decided that Jehovah's Witnesses can now use their Bible trained conscience to greet Disfellowshipped people ( people who have been expelled from the congregation based on a wrong doing). Jehovah's Witnesses are only to have brief interactions with them but still are not encouraged to socialise with them.

This little change was made because the religion has come under fire for their Disfellowshipping doctrine in different Court cases. Because of this doctrine, Jehovah's Witnesses lost their registration in Norway. The Norwegian government ceased giving grants to the Cult and no longer recognise them as a Religion. They are also no longer permitted to conduct Marriages in that country.

2.The Governing body has decided that Underaged Children/Minors are no longer required to be in a judicial committee for Wrongdoing. The parents and the Elders have their role to play in talking with the Minor and if the minor is of good behaviour, a judicial committee is not necessary. This change is also as a result of Jehovah's Witnesses loss in the Court case involving the Norwegian government. The Norwegian government deregistered the Religion when they found out that Underaged Children are disfellowshipped and are shunned by their Families. This is Discrimination in the eyes of Norway and against their rules for religious institutions who are interested in receiving Government grants. So, money is the motivation behind this change.

3. Jehovah's Witness Women are now allowed to wear Trousers to the Kingdom hall, to the Ministry and to Conventions. The mode of dressing with trousers must not be Casual. When they have parts to be done in the Kingdom hall or Conventions, they must wear skirts. When visiting Bethel Headquarters, they are to be dressed in skirts or dresses.

This change came because EXJWS who have left the religion have been making these suggestions. Sometimes, this suggestion is made as a joke and was very popular in ExJW Reddit Forum. It is quite a shock that the Governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses listened to the ExJWs that they call Apostates. There have been reports that there are agents of Watchtower spying in the ExJW Reddit Forum, listening and taking notes of what is being discussed. Afterwards, their suggestions are implemented in the name of New Light. They believe that when they make these changes, it would move EXJWS to come back to the religion. So, who is running the JW Religion, Apostates or the Governing body?

4. Jehovah's Witness Men must not wear ties and jackets to the Kingdom hall, to the ministry and to Conventions. They are only to wear Ties and jackets when they are giving parts/Talks. They are also to be dressed in ties and jackets when visiting the Bethel Headquarters.
Earlier, it was announced that they are free to grow beards. The Governing body member giving this update in the video below had a full beard.


It is evident that a lot of changes are a response to a dying religion and they are doing their best to rebrand themselves to make themselves more appealing to the public.

So how do their leaders go back to tell their people that their women can now wear trousers after already preaching that it's a sin in God's eye Will they say God has reconsidered His stance on wearing of trousers by women ?

No where jw ever said wearing trousers are sin , we Jehovah’s witnesses wear trousers casually for other formal or informal occasions, people that work in betel and other facilities wears trousers for their daily activities or task but we don’t wear it for our religious activities like meetings or assemblies. And this new update still indicates what’s suit your environment and your conscience. And remember it’s slack and most be considerate corporate.

That means you also didn't understand the English rendering...cos nothing as this is biblical either.

Hell fire -- Matthew 5:22, Mark 9:4348, Revelation 21:8, Matthew 25:41, etc
These are some of the verses that talked about Hell fire. (Watchtower claims it is only symbolic) sybolic in several verses? It can't be.

As for Christmas and Easter, they are human creation to honor Christ.
Yes, they are not requested to be celebrated but celebrating them can't be said to be Evil. Not all that JW do today too are requested to be done. An example is the the Death of Christ linked to 144,000. No where in the Bible was it mention by Jesus that only 144,000 should take the passover communion. So, if you query other Christians on Easter and Christmas, you have what you do that are not asked to be done too.

The claim that Easter and Christmas originated from pagan holidays are not realistic.
It is true they fall on same days but the Christians chose to celebrate on those days to prevent their kids from celebrating the pagan holidays.
It is like, "Okay, if they celebrate their god today. Let's celebrate the birth of Jesus today too"

Just like the Muslims go to their praying grounds on Sundays now to prevent their kids from going with their neighbors to church.

Don't mind my grammar and typos. I'm not in a good shape as I type. I'm kind of sad.

So if it was not a sin, why didn't you wear it for your religious activities like meetings or assemblies all these years?

Why did you have to wait for your religious leader to tell you to first before you do so?

Also, can you please show me the verse in the Bible that says women cannot wear trousers to meetings and assemblies?

Thanks in advance.

Can you please define the term APOSTASY?

Is this not what the Bible said at 2 John 9 - 11?

2 John 1:9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.

2 John 1:11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.

"The Teachings of Christ"

Have any of these people you call Apostates ever told you to stop following the teachings of Christ?

Be honest with yourself.

The only reason you call them apostates is because they don't follow the teachings of your Governing Body.

What do you gain from spreading such lies about people?

If were to be a sin you won’t meet any jw wearing trouser openly for other occasions or functions, we categorize it as casual wear and our meetings are not casuals , even the native we wear it’s always complete . but now we can only we wear it if our locality permits and does not frown at it but only slacks pants and dress appropriately to dignify our God

We always put ourselves under Christ leadership to take the lead ,many years back our culture here in Nigeria frown at women wearing trousers until recently when it become a norm, am sure Jehovah’s witnesses has never condemned the wear of trousers for women only encouraged appropriate dressing . Even this trouser we are talking about have varieties and inappropriate ones , everyone is allowed to followed his conscience, invited one’s are always allowed with any clothing and never looked down on . So with this few explanation I hope you understand my points

Since you asked, here are some of the teachings of your Governing Body - deny it if you can:

"Some may feel that they can interpret the Bible on their own. However, Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book and heed its directives." Watchtower 2016 Nov p.16

"... show respect for the “faithful and discreet slave” that He is using at the present time. Actually, your very life depends on following this course of action. Remember, too, it is only he that endures to the end that will be saved." Watchtower 1964 Jul 15 p.435

"All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20

For those reading, Governing Body = Faithful and Discreet Slave

And how does it still affect you since you have liberate yourself from it ?


Look at some of the teachings of your Governing Body I shared above.

Is that a teaching of Christ?

Who should we depend on whether it makes sense or not? Christ or the Governing Body?

Unless you believe that the Governing Body is equal to Christ.

Or is that what you believe?

I still don't understand your point.

I heard that your Governing Body also recently announced that your men can keep beards.

Is that not a personal thing?

Why would you have to wait until your religious leaders says you can wear trousers or keep beards?

Why can't you make such decisions by yourself?

Bring what was twisted in to full view let us see. Everything is not about putting them in bad. When I say Jehovah’s witnesses fornicates and show you evidence from your religious publications. Will you say the religious publications are putting them in bad light?

It is when the lies and manipulations of Jehovah's Witnesses are exposed they remember no one is perfect. When they go calling other Christian denominations false Christians, they didn't remember that they are equally imperfect.

There's a scriptural injunction that tells us to abstain from blood, which means not eating or taking it through the veins. The previous adjustment don't have any specific scripture stopping people from doing them. It's only a renewed understanding that makes these changes acceptable especially in localities where they are not frowned at by people in general.

But there is a scriptural injunction that tells the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and then members under them that blood fractions transfusions or injections are all well and good.

Personally to me. Jw ranks highest amongst all Christian dominations.

Only ish is...
Who tell una say Angel Micheal na Jesus?
I read a book by jw about the book of revelation when i was little, they transcribed it and came up with all sorts of imaginary jargons like bringing up the united nations.
At my workplace, a jw colleague and a Pentecostal one always argue about the bible and i usually enjoy it as both of them are false to me. Y'all believe you're the holiest and i feel that's a very big mistake.
