Just because someone is declared innocent by men it doesn’t mean he’s innocent in the eyes of God.

I appears as though some religions are tasked with dumbing down the people in these democracies. The Watchtower Society appears to be one of them.

[Saganism @Saganismm]

"Thomas Jefferson taught that a democracy was impractical unless the people were educated. No matter how stringent the protections of the people might be in constitutions or common law, there would always be a temptation, Jefferson thought, for the powerful, the wealthy, and the unscrupulous to undermine the ideal of government run by and for ordinary citizens.

The antidote is vigorous support for the expression of unpopular views, widespread literacy, substantive debate, a common familiarity with critical thinking, and skepticism of pronouncements of those in authority—which are all also central to the scientific method."

Christianity is one of those beliefs that can sound normal when you grow up around it, but once you step outside it and look at it critically, a lot of it starts to feel very absurd.

You’re told to believe extraordinary claims like virgin births, resurrections, miracles, demons, answered prayers, and a God who controls the universe, yet the evidence is usually faith, old stories, and personal feelings. If these same claims came from any other religion, many Christians would reject them immediately.

Then there’s the problem of suffering. We’re told God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and loving, yet the world is full of war, disease, disasters, starvation, and children dying painfully every day. If someone has the power to stop that and chooses not to, calling them loving becomes difficult.

The Bible itself raises problems. Christians call it perfect truth, yet believers disagree on what it means, split into countless denominations, and often choose which verses are literal and which are symbolic depending on modern comfort levels.

Many biblical stories also look like products of ancient people trying to explain the world before science: floods covering the whole earth, talking snakes, demons causing illness, humans made from dust, women from ribs. If written today, most people would classify them as myths.

And then there is God’s silence. If God wants everyone to know him and have a relationship with him, why is his presence so unclear that sincere, intelligent people across the world honestly do not believe?

When you step back, Christianity can look less like revealed truth and more like a man-made system built from fear, hope, tradition, and the need for meaning. Once faith is removed from the equation, much of it stops looking sacred and starts looking strangely human.

The JW organization often litigates when it can. This time over preaching in Finland’s Russia border zone. A few people live there but it’s a permit-only security area. They claimed religious freedom, took it to court- and lost.

1/7 Remember when God’s channel praised "the greatest Scientist of all", Jehovah, for the gift of ASBESTOS?
The same great Scientist who told the Israelites about hygiene to protect their health didn’t warn his Spiritual Israelites about the dangers of asbestos!

[Larchwood @Larchwood20]

In Chile on Feb 28, 2026, GB member Mark Sanderson, in the talk ‘Completely Victorious,’ discussed JW persecution, citing the Belgium case where opposers accused the branch of discrimination and hatred.

[Feigning Omnipotence @feigningO]

@eezharhh There are several accounts in the Hebrew Scriptures that show that you’re more rigid than Jehovah was when his own people consumed meat that wasn’t properly bled. Perhaps you could look at those to help soften your view of your wife’s decision.

1/9 Matthew 18:16 isn’t about two witnesses to the sin -it’s about two or three witnesses to the attempt at correction.

Yet in this 2017 talk, Gary Breaux used this scripture to defend the #JW “two witness rule,” claiming it requires witnesses to the act before judicial action.

1/3 Jesus chose his channel in 1919, and under his direction, they were selling Christmas cards in 1922. They stopped celebrating his birthday in 1927. Strangely, he allowed his people to celebrate their own birthdays until the 1950s

[Bye Bye Watchtower @ByeWatchtower]

Back in 1941, Watchtower published an article against former WT lawyer Olin Moyle. Olin was slandered and libel over a recommendation for WT to improveconditions at Bethel. Olin took Rutherford to court. Olin successfully sued Rutherford. $15K was awarded by court. Today, $276K.

True religion because it says so!

[pimitopomo @pimitopomo]

So will they or won’t they sue the Swedish government???

[Feigning Omnipotence @feigningO]

@pimitopomo Get them hooked on the candy and THEN share with them all the ways in which that candy can be taken away from them if they aren’t obedient to “those men” in NY (aka Jehovah, The Society, The Organization, Mother, The Governing Body, The Faithful Slave). Sinister techniques = MO

What kind of Christian would shield a confessed pedophile from the God ordained authorities? (Romans 13:1-4)

[Feigning Omnipotence @feigningO]

@Larchwood20 So Stephen, are you saying Gawd could have easily used these angels instead of that elaborately messy thing He resorted to in Noah’s Day when He killed all of those innocent animals and children? 🤣
