Increase in JWs evidence of divine blessing

When people are joining the JWs in large numbers, they say it is evidence of Jehovah's blessing. (Watchtower July 1, 2002, p.13, paragraph 17-19)

But when the numbers are down they claim it' s because â€œthe greater number has cooled off.

JWs can take blood, but can ' t donate any blood

JWs are allowed to take every single component of blood (including the ones that transmit diseases) from other people and the general blood supply.

But JWs are NOT allowed to donate any blood back to the very system they take blood from!

Kids dying from no blood

They brag about how many JW kids face death because of their stance on blood, including putting the kid's pictures on the cover of the Awake magazine. (Awake! 1994 May 22 p.2 Youths Who Put God First 3-15)

But JWs say Satan is persecuting them when they are labeled as child killers. (Watchtower 1998 December 1 p.14 par. 4 Defending Our Faith)

Strong Families

If someone wants to leave the JWs (like me), they are labeled as apostates and shunned - even by family members.(Watchtower 1998 December 1 p.17 Defending Our Faith)

But JWs say Satan is persecuting them when they are labeled as a religion that breaks up families.(Kingdom Ministry August 2002 pp.3-4)

Interpreting the bible accurately

JWs condemn the Catholic Church as arrogant for saying only the Catholic Church can accurately interpret the bible. (The Watchtower, 7/1/1943, p. 201.)

But JWs brag that the Watchtower Society is the only one that can accurately interpret the Bible. (The Watchtower, Feb. 15, 1981; The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587)

Pedophiles

JWs condemned the Catholic Church for decades for not owning up to their pedophile problems. (Any Watching The World in the 80 & 90.

But the JWs have never apologized for their pedophile problems. (The Catholics DID apologize!)

Apostate Literature

JWs condemn the Catholic Church for not allowing their followers to read or study with JWs. (Year Book 1988 p.100 Ireland)

But JWs are instructed to promptly throw away any literature from other apostate religions. (Watchtower 1986 March 15 pp.15-20 Allow No Place for the Devil!)

New Light

JWs condemn the Catholic Church' s new light doctrine, saying it makes the Catholic Church unreliable. (g70 4/22 p. 8 Changes That Disturb People)

But JWs excuse for all their false prophecies and flip-flops is new light.

Bangalore - the font size is way too small to read in places. I need a magnifying glass!

I love posts like this pointing out the double standards and hypocracy of JWdom especially when it is their own literature that condemns them.

Thankyou

sizemik

Thank you for keeping it brief Bangalore . . . seriously . . . you could have gone several pages recounting the duplicity of the WTS

Condemn the cathlics for baptiziing babys, but it's ok to baptize six year olds. If when you grow up and leave the Cathlic church, you will not be shunned. If you leave the JW, you WILL be shunned and lose your family. You tell me, which one is worse????????

The influence the Pope holds over Catholics is scarily similar to the influence the GB holds over JWs. Little wonder the JWs hold a special in their bullseye devoted to Catholics.

Catholics only have to kiss the Pope's RING.........
