I really had to laugh at today's Watchtower study. Such hypocrisy.

I wonder if the congregations in Montana studied this today. 

Let's start from the beginning. 

We Belong To Jehovah. Sounds simple doesn't it ? But on baptism a person suddenly belongs to the JW Org, or so they think. I say this because a baptised person has to live by the GB's rules. 

Para 4, heading. We dedicate our lives to Jehovah. Don't forget that, because the Org thinks you dedicate your lives to them. The GB and it's Org think they have ownership of contact with God. 

Para 10 .... "These examples clearly establish that those who truly belong to Jehovah must firmly take their stand for righteousness and against wickedness". Well I did, I left the Org for a proper reason, taking a stand for righteousness. Oh but that's not what they mean is it ? They mean their view of righteousness not God's view.

Para 14, "... Because we belong to Jehovah we are admonished to 'reject ungodliness and worldly desires and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness and godly devotion amid this present system of things'.  Um, something wrong here. The Org hasn't quite followed this. Practice what you preach comes to mind. 

Para 15. "Our appreciation for Jehovah's special friendship is shown in how we treat fellow worshippers. They too belong to Jehovah. If we never lose sight of that fact, we will always treat our brothers and sisters with kindness and love". Yes, but oh dear, a lot of JW's including the GB have lost sight of that fact. 

Para 18. ... We take a firm stand against badness. And we love and respect our fellow worshippers, recognizing that they too belong to Jehovah".   Really ? When ? 

It also says in the same paragraph "We want people to see that we are 'blameless and innocent .... ' ". Not much hope of that now is there ?   

Come on folks, surely you can see the hypocrisy in it all ? 

I'll hint at someone's comment on another topic, where he referred to Hitler.  Hitler was one man. It took the whole of Germany to do what they did. Hitler couldn't have done it alone.

So it is with the JW Org. The Governing Body may make those wicked rules, but it takes the whole association of brothers to make the wickedness flow through the whole Earthly organisation. 

Hope you enjoyed your Watchtower study today.

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.

      Algorand Partners With FIFA World Cup

      By caminando · Posted

      FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
