What's In The Mysterious August 2024 Watchtower?

Rather bizarrely, the Jehovah's Witnesses leadership have failed to publish the August 2024 issue of their flagship magazine, the Watchtower. True to form, they have opted not to be upfront with their members and have secretly informed the elders that the September and October 2024 issues of the Watchtower will be published prior to the August issue (as per the S-147 announcements for June 2024). Arthur and I discuss why we do not expect this Watchtower issue to have any new doctrines and / or policies and what we expect to see in it.

Do a video on the difficulties finding a mate within the Jehovah's Witness religion. The difficulties of finding a mate on the outside after one has left the cult and relationship problems which arise from having been in the Jehovah's Witness religion. I was baptized at age 17. I stopped going at age 24. Add about that time prior to leaving I had made it known that I wanted a wife. I was very timid, and felt as if I wasn't good enough for a woman or it was somehow not allowed in my case. As I was not a pioneer and I did not have any intentions on going to bethel. I was persuaded to go to bethel when I was younger but I did not want to go. Very shy socially awkward. Social anxiety. I wanted a mate but didnt want to sin or get in trouble. I was also told to wait until after Armageddon to seek a wife. When i had made it known that i wanted a wife and help in finding someone who was likewise interested, i was rebuked. I was a virgin, never even kissed. Since leaving, it took a long time. First kiss at 32 years. Every relationship o have been in has been a disaster. I wished i could have met a young JW woman. Most likely it would have worked out good. But now i dont even believe in the bible. For example, I found out that the very first page of the Bible at Genesis chapter 1 disagrees with established scientific fact regarding the earth, the solar system and space. I'll go into detail about that if you are interested, but what I have found out makes the Bible look ridiculous and not the word of God. And I believe the leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses already know this. I'm sure that they don't believe in the Bible, but the religion and Bible is a good money maker for them.

@cultytalk 3 месяца назад

So then it's actually a GOOD thing u didn't find a JW woman cuz it absolutely would NOT have worked out. You still would've found out about the Bible probably and that would destroy any relationship with the JW woman. Be GLAD that didn't work out!! But also, as a rule, it's not a dating service. Elders aren't qualified to do anything really. I wouldn't want them trying to find me a partner!! That'd be a HORROR story!! And anyway, most churches don't "help" people find a wife or husband! Again - it's not a dating service! Why would you expect them to do that??? It's weird. Finally, literally EVERYONE is a virgin at some point in life. So what? You sound like you need therapy to help you get out of your SHYNESS, break the religious brainwashing you received about your ideas about women, and maybe just join a dating service. Not a religion.

@extraterrestrial4287 3 месяца назад

@@skippy1012 Thanks. You know, if Moses was wrong, then Jesus is also wrong, for he believed in the words of Moses. The first chapter of Genesis says that God separated the water with a void. Water above the void and water below the void. To the water below the void, God gathered to his place is so that dry land would appear in its midst, Land and Sea. God called the void heaven. God created two great lights, one by day and one by night and also the stars, and He placed them IN THE VOID. He also created birds to fly across the void. So when you go outdoors on a clear day and look up and see all that blue, keep in mind that Moses, and Jesus thought that was an ocean of water up there above the sun, moon, stars, angels and birds. "Praise him you highest heavens and waters above the heavens!" - Psalm 148:4

I think you guys are right. They are trying to fulfill what sanderclause said in the update would be in later watchtowers. But I think its intresting that this shows that they are panicking about how many people are leaving and being disfellowshiped and want those numbers to go back up. Also the fact that they already had the article ready and had to scrap it shows that the info in the update was more rushed and haphazard.

@AnthonyMorrisReturns 3 месяца назад

Yes, Mark Sanderclause😄😄😄 Seriously though, I find it interesting that the Governing Body has 6 committees including a Coordinator's Committee and yet the work between the various committees is so uncoordinated. So the Writing Committee is responsible for producing the Watchtower and yet they had no idea that Coordinator's Committee were going to announce those adjustments and need them in the Watchtower ASAP. Same thing happens with Convention and Midweek meeting material that is created by the Teaching Committee. It appears like Philip Brumley, the head of WHQ Legal is having a big say in matters nowadays. I'm surprised they haven't made him a Governing Body member or helper yet.

It was interesting to see David Ianelli (one of their main writers) on a recent Gilead Graduation programme. I find it interesting that even though Ianelli wrote a lot of their books and magazines in the 90s and early 2000s they never promoted him to the Governing Body or helper level. I actually thought they'd even fired him until I saw him on that Gilead thing.

WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5 Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now?
