What’s Happening on JW.org?

Here’s a short video of Beroean Pickets narrating something very strange happening on JW.org
Take note of what he points out on the website and share what your thoughts might be.


I don't know why they're missing on the actual website but they're still there in the WOL and the Library App, well, only back to the 50's anyway, you have to be in bethel to get access to pre 50's stuff.
 
I don't possess software to enlarge it. But why do they obscure it as it obviously is purposely clouded? Possibly because of learning from their mistake of Silkeborge!
Maybe! I'll never forget my shock when I first learned about all the various "added extras" they put in the literature and videos, it makes me so angry, it really does..

At least we're not in dark regards their tributes to Satan. Yet I agree with you it makes one angry that our brothers and sisters have been so beguiled.

And that the GB are allowing all this in Jehovah's place, they are very, very brave to be so brazen. I know we all fall short and all do things but we're not purposely trying to offend Jehovah are we? 🫣
 
Just asking...do you mean that white X?
Looks like there's two, both to the right. But it's really not clear.

I know. I noticed that later too. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so quick to post this thread before I checked all of that out. But I couldn’t delete it afterwards. 🤦‍♀️
 
I didn’t exactly know where to put this experience I had today but this is where I’m going to land it.
My brother and I got out to go to the store today and I saw a witness couple who’s in my circuit. My husband and I had a good relationship with them, a younger couple. Every time we’d see each other at an assembly the sister and I would talk and walk around, which was most of the time. If their congregation had a gathering we were invited to they were there.

Anyway, when I was shopping in the store I saw them and got their attention. They were so glad to see me! Then she asked how my kids were. I told her they were fine except my daughter who no longer speaks to me. almost 3 years now.
I told her it was because I questioned the GB. Her eyes got big and she said/asked, “YOU QUESTIONED THE GOVERNING BODY?!?”

I said that “there were changes that I wondered about and that there’s always a chance they could change as time went on.”
And just like that she and her husband ( who didn’t say anything) turned away and walked off.
As she was walking off I said, doesn’t Jehovah tell us ‘not to put our trust in men?’
She turned around and said, but Jesus appointed them the faithful and discreet slave.
At this point she started walking faster….like I had the plague!

I couldn’t believe it! If my husband was still living he wouldn’t believe it! If you knew this sister you would never think she’d behave like that. This organization has really intensified their programming these last four years.

Although I did tell her I hadn’t left Jehovah but that did not matter. What is it with them…do they think Jehovah is dead that these men have to take his place???

That hurts! Even if it does fulfill prophesy, it still really hurts. Who knew that would ever happen to you or any of us here on this forum but it is happening. I am very happy that somehow we undeservedly chose to side with the right team. Having Jehovah and Jesus as our leadership is quite miraculous in my very limited opinion. So sorry you had to experience that Ladyblue!

Ay querida Ladyblue! Deberíamos cambiar las respuestas. Usar unas más acordes a la verdad. Deberíamos responder que no servimos a hombres, que nuestra adoración es exclusiva a Jehová. Citar a Juan 16 para recordar que ya nos avisó Jesús y que además como dice el versículo 1 , lo hizo, para que no se nos hiciera tropezar. Jesús usaba estas palabras referente a hombres versados en la ley cuando les dijo: que los echarían de las sinagogas porque no han conocido ni al Padre ni al Hijo. Lo bueno de todo es que no nos dejó desprovistos, Jesús nos dejó al ayudante, el Espíritu Santo, Parákletos, en griego puede significar: el que consuela o consuela; el que alienta y revive; el que revive; el que intercede por nosotros como un defensor en un tribunal". La palabra “paráclito” tiene forma pasiva y, etimológicamente, significa “llamado al lado de uno”. La forma activa de la palabra, parakletor, no se encuentra en el Nuevo Testamento, pero está en la Septuaginta, en plural, en "Consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros” (Job 16:2). El pueblo de Jehová se ha convertido en un ejecutor de la tiranía institucional. Donde no hay amor ni palabras de consuelo hacia los demás miembros. Son molestos! Muy molestos! Hasta que se conviertan en peligrosos. Así que cautela! Te quiero.😘

Translation: Oh dear Ladyblue! We should change the answers. Use some more in line with the truth. We should answer that we do not serve men, that our worship is exclusive to Jehovah. Quote John 16 to remember that Jesus already warned us and that also, as verse 1 says, he did, so that we would not stumble. Jesus used these words referring to men versed in the law when he said to them: that they would be thrown out of the synagogues because they have not known either the Father or the Son. The good thing about everything is that he did not leave us deprived, Jesus left us the helper, the Holy Spirit, Parakletos, in Greek can mean: he who comforts or comforts; he who encourages and revives; he who revives; he who intercedes for us as a defender in a court." The word "paraclite" has a passive form and, etymologically, means "called next to one." The active form of the word, parakletor, is not found in the New Testament, but is in the Septuagint, in plural, in "Annoying comforters are all you" (Job 16:2). Jehovah's people have become an executor of institutional tyranny. Where there is no love or words of comfort towards the other members. They're annoying! Very annoying! Until they become dangerous. So be careful! I love you.

It's because Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer disciples of Jehovah God and His son, Christ Jesus, but rather disciples of men - specifically, the Governing Body that rules over them. Remember, 'listening to the Governing Body is equivalent to listening to the voice of Jesus.' If you question them, you're essentially questioning Jesus. The indoctrination has been so subtle over the years that it reminds me of the illustration of the frog in boiling water. I couldn't in good conscience ever return to the kingdom hall and go along with all this, it makes me too angry!!!
1 Corinthians 7:23
Berean Standard Bible
You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

You're so right, the frog in the water, slowly brought to a boil. That's how they are. They can't see what has happened. After being out for a while and then going back, you can really SEE the difference. I listen in to some of the meetings by phone. I don't think I could control myself if I attended in person.
And it makes me really sad. I would like to go back. It feels like being torn in two sometimes. I know I would be living a lie if I went back now.

That's cult follower behavior 101. I'm truly scared for people like this. Jehovah wants us to use our free will to choose to follow Him, not men! I'm convinced that there are, and have been, millions of otherwise "good people" who won't make it now, or in the resurrection, because their weakness is a lack of true faith in Jehovah. Instead, these people place their faith in the golden calf, believing it to be Jehovah. They require a visible idol but can't see it for what it is. The sad part is they often lead otherwise God-fearing lives, sort of like my atheist aunt, who is a "good person" in a worldly sense, but who will perish because she refuses to place her faith in Jehovah.

Abraham was counted as righteous for one reason, his complete and unwavering faith in Jehovah. It wasn't his actions, or because he was a "good person." It deeply saddens me that so many sheep are going to perish due to their misplaced or lack of faith.

Learn to expect it Ms Ladyblue. These things are strengtheners against what is to come. If love is left unrequited it dies and we at last see whom that person really is at heart. The test is in the moment, where we would do almost anything not to let a loved one go, but if we can remain forearmed in understanding the love of Jehovah, it gives us substantive presence of mind. It’s all down to having our lamps full and ready to burn. I was thinking of the experience of Jerry and Phyllis, where suddenly a whole congregation turns their back on one. I don’t know of any faith that is so ready to do that to one who disagrees legitimately, and without even being heard. There is no love. And without that, there is, as the Bible so rightly points out, nothing. Nothing at all. The heartbreak is ours, but we loose nothing because we are given insight into the greater love that is of Jehovah. These instances of rejection are given us through our faith to harden us and reveal to us this greater love that does not, ever, fail. It’s a far greater comfort in the middle of the dark night and it is there for the asking. Where to put the experience? We can put it in our prayers for each other.

Never say never Carl! I treat and talk to people I care about, both family and friends as if they ARE going to be there in God's new world. Many of them just say things like "oh I hope it's really true what you're saying" etc But the point is, I'm keeping Jehovah's answers to all this mess dangling in front of their eyes. Then, when the time's right for THEM, they will call on Jehovah's name and Jehovah will answer them 😀❤️
