Five others have already been jailed in 2018, one in an apparent show trial. Two more young men face trial in August. The city court in Turkmenbashi in western Turkmenistan has handed down the longest known prison sentence so far in 2018 to punish refusal to conduct compulsory military service on grounds of conscience. At the request of the prosecutor, Judge Myrat Garayev handed 19-year-old Jehovah's Witness Mekan Annayev the maximum two-year jail term, he told Forum 18 from the …

They think that their preaching means that they care. But outside of the preaching work, all they do is mock the people who disagree with them and openly say that they will all die and god will destroy them; and they can't wait! That isn't love.

At the Regional Convention, at least half of the videos were directed at young people. This is good because they are under more peer pressure than most not to 'go along with the crowd.' All young people experience this pressure, but Jehovah's Witnesses youth more than usual because what they stand for is more specific and the degree to which they stand is more determined. Besides, there are many young people who resolve the pressure not to go along with the crowd by going along with the crowd. Sometimes they go so far as to answer the wise words of their mama, "If everyone jumped off of a cliff, would you jump off, too?" with a "That's what I'm talkin about!" Such ta…

Letters of Paul The First Epistle to Timothy 1 Timothy 3:16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.  ? Proof of Trinitarian Error Trinitarians claim this verse identifies Jesus as "God" because it says "God was manifested in the flesh." - KJV ? The Claims vs. The Facts The manuscript evidence, and the immediate context, shows the King James Verison (KJV) reading was not authored by Apostle Paul. ? The Problems with the claims of Trinitarians Mode…

8 “Did you notice my servant Job?” the Lord asked. “There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil.” 9 Satan replied, “Would Job worship you if he got nothing out of it? 10 You have always protected him and his family and everything he owns. You bless everything he does, and you have given him enough cattle to fill the whole country. 11 But now suppose you take away everything he has—he will curse you to your face!” 12 “All right,” the Lord said to Satan, “everything he has is in your power, but you must not hurt Job himself.” So Satan left.

YELM, Wash. — Authorities on Wednesday were investigating after someone tried to set fire to the Kingdom Hall of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses in Yelm. This comes after four other recent attacks on Kingdom Halls of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses in Thurston County that are being investigated as hate crimes. In the latest incident, authorities were called around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday to the report of an attempted arson at the Kingdom Hall on Vail Road SE in Yelm. The ensuing investigation closed a large section of Vail Road for most of the day. Church elders had arrived to find fire logs stacked up against an outside wall that was smoldering. They doused the logs with wate…

I follow some malcontents on Twitter because they reliably inform me of developments I may want to address. If they wise up, I simply follow others, as there are many. But they don't wise up. In fact, many of them live to herald their "good news," almost as though they are JWs themselves I don't do it for the purpose of engaging with them (though it has happened) and I don't consider myself above general counsel to not go there. I am chastened by such counsel and would be much worse without it. I don't (somewhat) follow such counsel not to go there because I am afraid of men. I do it because I think it is good counsel. If you are determined to lose weight, you d…

Surely a university didn’t randomly approach her and give her a scholarship? ? This week's WT-study: The Watchtower - April 2018 - "Young People, Are You Focused on Spiritual Goals?" Watchtower is trying to influence those who might be thinking about a university level education to drop the idea, based on simplistic and anecdotal information First, lawyers are usually not talking to bank staff - the lawyer's assistant is. Second, what lawyer ever says: "I'm so unhappy," especially to some random person at a bank. That doesn't invalidate the reality that just because one person noticed that some of the millions of people who followed the …

The following review of the NWT is in French regarding the French edition (2018) of the "2013 Revised NWT" but the review is good and very accurate (imo). It's from an excellent scholar -- the same one who @indagator highlighted for his excellent review of Frank Shaw's book. Currently it's the most recent content on his amazing blog. So you can find it here: http://areopage.net/blog/ or here: http://areopage.net/blog/2018/07/25/tmn-revisee-2018/ TMN révisée (2018) by areopage

Legal fight begins over former Jehovah's Witnesses' Brooklyn Heights HQ sign By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Daily Eagle The famous Watchtower sign was illegal for its entire half-century existence. The Squibb sign that originally stood in its place was illegal, too. That's the city Buildings Department's stunning assertion — and its rationale for why it denied the owner of the former Jehovah's Witnesses' headquarters in Brooklyn Heights permission to replace the Watchtower sign atop 30 Columbia Heights. The property's owner, Columbia Heights Associates, is appealing the …

A bomb squad responded to a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Thurston County after finding a suspicious device Wednesday morning. Detectives responding to a fire found a suspicious item that “had the appearance of being an explosive device,” according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office. The fire itself is believed to be the work of an arsonist targeting Jehovah’s Witness buildings across the county. Detectives found smoldering logs stacked up on an outside wall of the Kingdom Hall. The logs were dowsed with water. There was minimal damage done to the building. The same Hall was shot up in May. Three others were set on fire. One Hall in Olymp…
