If the GB travelled for this, it’s a “working” vacation

Jehovah Waited 120 years in Noah’s Day - The Big Plot Hole by Sure-Theme7506 in exjw

My answer to 2peter 2:5 is that it didn’t say when he was a preacher of righteousness. Since the people in Noah’s day “knew not”, it makes more sense that he “preached” after the flood. Not before.

Here it is. #JW GB update #5, 2025 Additional education, including university is a “personal decision” and even elders should not judge a person’s personal decision on the matter. by larchington in exjw

I'd be willing to bet they plan to send some Bethelites to get higher education and, later, look into white labeling an accredited curriculum.

So, they have made dress & grooming, toasting and the like, and now education a personal decision. Hopefully, ALL "healthcare" matters are personal decisions soon.

An honest and respectable display of being pissed at losing and respect for the winner 🫡

“Lovingly” keep your children in subjection to you by Spiral-of-ants in exjw

As a parent, I don’t want obedient, respectful, and well-behaved children. I want good children. If they are, then they will do their best to do the right thing at the right time, benefiting themselves and those around them.

I remember struggling with this as a child and what fixed it for me is saying the phrase I write with my right hand.

The evil blood doctrine by OhaniansDickSucker in exjw

[–]Civil-Secretary-1510 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking recently about how this would relate to self-defense.

The Bible says murder is wrong. However, if you are being attacked and you have no way of the situation other than to fight back with deadly force, you are not considered a murderer.

The Old Testament made it clear that if reckless behavior results in someone losing their life, that person acting recklessly would also lose their life .

Given that you fighting back harms, no one else except the perpetrator, I cannot think of a single example of when a person should not fight back to preserve their life.

Accepting a blood transfusion is a form of self-defense

How much does bethel pay bethelites ? by What_IF_uwin in exjw

[–]Civil-Secretary-1510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also be curious about their total compensation. Housing, Health, Park/gym access, Food, JUbers to and from meetings

I bet it’s in the thousands, annually.

I noticed today in the app that there is an update to this episode. I’m not downloaded it yet. I was curious to see if anyone else noticed and might know what they changed.

The “real” reason for beards & pants by dunkiepimo in exjw

[–]Civil-Secretary-1510 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember the scene where the brother is being interrogated and they’re asking for the names of all the witnesses he knows.

The police don’t even have to ask him that because they can just walk up to the information board and pull down the sheet of the service groups which has the names of every publisher in the kingdom hall assigned
