What Double Standards Exist With Jehovah's Witnesses? (page 2)

jambon1

They condemn people who pursue college/university as glorifying themselves and not pursuing spirituality yet they are more then happy to accept treatment or services from such educated professionals! "Hail the hypocrisy, ever increasing. Wondrous expansion is now taking place"

Don't go to law school or put the time to be a MD. BUT take advantage of their services. Where is Judah Ben Shroder (sp) when you need him???

They will take advantage of any kind of social services that is offered, yet will not support this country in anything, such as military duty. This is an extreme sore point with my husband, especially during 2005 when his son was in Iraq.

Who are you?

What double standards don't exist for JW's?

Jehovah`s Witness`s don`t celebrate Christmas..But..They do have a "Not a Christmas Turkery Dinner" during the holidays.....Please pass the not a "Christmas Turkey Dinner" mashed potatoes..A little "Not a Christmas Turkey Dinner" gravy would be nice too.....Don`t forget the "It`s not a Christmas Turkey Dinner" conversation..LOL!!...OUTLAW

But..They do have a "Not a Christmas Turkery Dinner" during the holidays.....

I have had many "Not a Christmas Turkey Dinner" with witness family members. Just about every holiday season for 35 years.

How about blowing off fireworks for "Not a New Years Eve Celebration"?

White Dove

How about taking charity from the Catholics or Assemblies of God or others and forbidding giving to those same charities? Use them when you need them, then abuse them from the platform. Some kind of moral to teach the kiddies, huh?

How about talking to my friend who one of the elders called a Satanist for believing in UFOs and who was instrumental in getting me out, but not talking to me because I decided to like the human race more than the god of the Bible? Exactly how many people would he have to talk out of the borg to be considered dangerous ?

There are no double standards in this religion........Well, maybe just one or two:

All "worldly" people should thoroughly check the history of whatever religion they belong to, and don't just take the word of the priest or minister.
All Jehovah's Witnesses are ordered NOT to thoroughly check the history of the religion and must take the GB's word that it's "the Truth".
Celebrating your wedding anniversary and having baby showers is fine, even though it makes you the center of attention;
Celebrating your birthday is a disfellowshipping offense because it makes you the center of attention;
We are not under obligation to follow the Ten Commandments, because the laws in the Old Testament don't apply to us;
You cannot get a tatoo, because there's a scripture somewhere in the Old Testament telling you not to.
Charles Russell celebrated Christmas and Birthdays (knowing they were pagan) but this didn't bother Jesus or Jehovah, because apparently he's in heaven ruling with them as we speak.
If you celebrate Christmas or your Birthday, you'll make baby Jesus so angry that you'll be disfellowshipped and will go straight to hell in a hand-bag.
The Catholic Church harbors pedophiles, proving that they are hypocrites and are not God's Chosen Ones;
The Borg harbours pedophiles, but they're not really---it's just apostates and Satan de Debbil who are trying to make them look bad;
The Millerites predicted that Jesus would return in 1844. He didn't, and this proved them to be false prophets;
The Borg predicted that Jesus would return in 1914, 1915, 1925, 1942, and 1975. He didn't, but that just means that "new light" was shed upon them.
You can't take a blood transfusion to save your life---even if it means your death;
No Dub gives a shit if you order a rare-cooked steak at a restaurant, with blood oozing out of it and gobble it down in record time.
The Pharisees were horrible leaders, binding heavy loads and man made rule upon the rank and file Jew. These Jews were made to feel worthless losers when they didn't live up to the Pharisees expectations.
The Borg leaders bind heavy loads and man made rules upon the rank and file Witness, but we're just "lacking in appreciation" if we don't do all that they say.
A Catholic who leaves the Church and becomes a Witness, has become a true Christian and will be rewarded with everlasting life;
A Witness who leaves the Borg and becomes a Catholic is an apostate and the only thing that prevents him from being stoned to death, are the laws of the land which prevent the Borg from doing this.
Any Catholic, Protestant, or any other religious person, who lives a good life, does charity work, raises their children in a good home, pays their taxes, goes to church, is not a drunk, drug addict, or adulterer, will still die at Armageddon, because they didn't go out in Service every Saturday morning.
Any Witness who's a drunk, a pedophile, an adulterer, a thief, a liar, who does no charity work, beats his wife and kids and is a lousy worker, will make it through Armageddon if he's at all the meetings and gets 10 hours of Service in every month.
If you're raised a Witness and you get a PhD, you're "puffed up with knowledge" and will be virtually shunned.
If you're raised in another religion and become a Dub and you already have a PhD, you'll be welcomed with open arms.
The Govering Body got some "new light" that teaches that "this generation" that Jesus was talking about, is not the generation of 1914
Apparently, that light wasn't quite bright enough because they still teach that "when these things START to occur, lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near", it's still referring to the generation of 1914.
Any scripture in the Old Testament that speaks favourably of Israel, it's forshadowing the WTS;
Any scripture in the Old Testament that speaks negatively of Israel, is forshadowing Apostate Christendom;
When scientists say that the earth is billions of years old, they don't bat an eyelash;
When archaeologists find human remans that are older than 6,000 years, it's Satan de Debbil planting this stuff in the ground, presumably with a shovel, just to make us look bad.
You're not allowed to celebrate Mothers Day or Fathers Day because "honour is only supposed to go to Jehovah."
One of the Ten Commandments was "honour your father and your mother."

Other than that, there's NO double standards in this religion at all!!

MARY.....Outlaw, I was always amazed by strict JWs celebrating birthdays and XMas on other days but the real one.
