WOULD A JW KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD??? (page 6)

minimus

AMAC, read WT.index 1930-85 under pacifism. ....JEHOVAH NOT A PACFIST,,,,JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES NOT PACIFISTS...JESUS CHRIST NOT PACIFIST........go back to college and learn to read WT. publications!

I certainly don't need to go to college to learn to read WT pubs, quite the opposite in fact. I don't really care what they say in their pubs about pacifism. I know that Jah and JC are not pacifist according to JW beliefs. But I do know that humanly speaking, JWs are pacifists. As a whole, they are opposed to violence or war on their own part to resolve any disputes. That would be pacifism.

Europe

JWs are pacifists. As a whole, they are opposed to violence or war on their own part to resolve any disputes. That would be pacifism.

As a whole they are TOLD to be opposed to violence, that's a difference you know!

Cause when Mother WTS tells them to kill as many apostates as they can, they will do it, as most people agree on this thread, nothing pacifistic about that!

JWs do not believe that they or any human will be part of that executing force at Armaggedon. JWs believe that ***

JWs believe whatever the Watchtower Society's literature tells them to believe. The ones that don't are called "apostates."

Anyone with half an education will see how ridiculous this statement is. Again, they have 100 years of being a pacifist organization. To think that could be reverted by the leaders and have the majority of followers go along with it is ridiculous. This is not a simple change of beliefs, this requires taking a person who probably joined the religion because they were inclined to pacifism to begin with and turn them into an aggressor. This is not a matter of beliefs, it is a matter of behavioral capabilities.

as most people agree on this thread,

Then that doesn't say much for the people on this thread.

A little lesson in life Europe, be careful not to accept ideas just because most of the people surrounding you accept it. It's called mob mentality.

Elsewhere

JWs do not believe that they or any human will be part of that executing force at Armaggedon. JWs believe that is up to Jehovah and simply pray and try to be worthy of his salvation during their believed destructive period

This is true.... right now.

However, it would only take one WT article of "new light" to change this.

Europe

Again, they have 100 years of being a pacifist organization.

Oh yeah that's right, and holding shares of a company who does business with the army and subsequent contributes to warfare technology doesnt mean anything, does it?? LOL

and have the majority of followers go along with it is ridiculous.

The followers go along with everything, didnt you know???

Then that doesn't say much for the people on this thread.

Doesnt it?

I dont accept ideas Amac. I'm not a J.W., so.... I can think for myself thank you very much! BTW: it's not called mob mentality, it's called cult behaviour!!!

It was just a remark to stress out that I'm not the only one with that opinion!! Any one with half an education would have understood that!

BTW: I had enough lessons in life, dont need yours, thanx a lot, but no thanx!

Europe

BTW Amac.........Again, they have 100 years of being a pacifist organization

How pacifistic is it to mentally kill (=shunning) your own child/mother/father/etc. when they're finally fed up being brainwashed and fooled by the WTS and consequently step out of that cult?

For a time a blood transfusion was acceptable. Then the wbts forbid its use and almost all jw's went right along with this change. Even when it costs lives.

For a time an organ transplant was acceptable. Then the wbts forbid this also and almost all jw's went right along with this change. Even when it costs lives.

For a time shuning was not an enforced policy. Then the wbts made it an enforced policy and almost all jw's went right along with this change. Even when it destroyed families.

For a time there was no df'ing. then the wbts made this an official policy and almost all Jw's went right along with this change. Even though it destroyed marriages and families and caused suicides.

It seems that there is no limit to what some jw's will do to please the wbts. Even when it is dangerous and destructive. Including the loss of lives.

So would some jw's accept and act on a wbts policy to kill its oposers? Even though it would involve

the murder of others. It seems, based on previous conduct that some though not all would do just that.

The prediction of possible acts by people can best be made by looking at their past actions.

This does not require a college education to understand.

P-S.

Keep in mind that the needless loss of life-the destroyed families-the destroyed marriages- the suicides were often triggered by family members to other family members. So what would these same people be willing to do to those outside of their family??.

This also does not need a college education to understand.

> Witnesses are so brainwashed that they would kill, if ordered by the faithful slave....?

One word:

Malawi

How many were left to be butchered in Malawi while simultaneously an extremely relaxed double-standard was applied to Mexico? This is in addition to the prohibition on tissue transplants & blood transfusions related deaths over the decades. That is spilled blood which stains the WT's hands, and it is NOT an analogy! There is more than one way to kill and protect rapists, and the WT implements a few shreud of these ways while not taking the responsibility for it.
