Screwing up folks lives (page 2)

Of course, this little jw is basically screwed. She didn't get through the loophole in time

##

yes and that is the point- you have summed it up so nicely

JT

If The Society says it's ok........then Jehovah says it's ok. All JW's know that The Society is the Only Channel to Jehovah.

And if The Society makes "an adjustment?" "Well, afterall, they're just imperfect men."

Covered either way.

excellent point they want thier cake and eat too, it is when one takes a step back to smell the coffee as it were does one realize the type of rules that impacted folks lives, even as an elder i would view such info as food at the proper time

JT

It's NEVER a lie. It's merely a refinement

long before the concept of being "PC" was in fashion , the wt had already perfected the Spin Doctor technique as can be seen by looking thru the site called quotes.com

JT

I guess it is tough to admit a wrong, especially when you have proclaimed world wide in 200 languages, in millions of publications, that your words are the manifestation of God's own thoughts on the matter.

Once you commit to that first lie, damn its hard to deny it!

Dannny you make a good point

I also like the way they say......."who in the PAST believed". What they mean is OUR past understanding that WE told you to believe.

now you can't have the mouthpc of god saying that, it would make them look foolish

You people who post here are some of the most unreasonable and unknowledgeable persons I've ever encountered. Whether you still believe the Bible or not, you can't refute the fact that the Bible itself shows that those ones who shoulder the duties as teachers of God's Word would err, and as a result of such misunderstandings refinements would become necessary. Have you never read Daniel 11:35 while actually thinking about what you're reading? Probably not, since you spend most of your life's time trying to find a fault!

I understand how you feel in fact most of us do for we too like you presently were willing to accept whatever was published in the WT-

so we all understand your view, we just no longer are willing to accept what is published in the wt as THE VIEW OF GOD when in fact it is merely the opinion of the boys in writing Karl Adams, Wischuck. Fred Russ. Lee Waters, Sam Buck , Harry Peylon, and the rest of the guys who sit in the seat of moses

This is an amplification and adjustment in understanding of what appears in The Watchtower of November 15, 1974, pages 703-704, and of February 15, 1978, pages 30-32. Those who acted on the basis of the knowledge they had at the time are not to be criticized. Nor would this affect the standing of a person who in the past believed that a mates perverted sexual conduct within marriage amounted to porneia and, hence, obtained a divorce and is now remarried.

"amplification and adjustment in understanding" - The Society is doing a complete turnaround on it's own teaching....calling it an adjustment.

"knowledge they had at the time" - knowledge that was totally supplied by the WTBTS, which is now wrong.

"person who in the past believed" - why did that jw believe that way? Because the WTBTS told them that's what the Bible said, which means Jehovah said it.

you can't refute the fact that the Bible itself shows that those ones who shoulder the duties as teachers of God's Word would err

could you show us from the bible where it states that those who god directed would get his message wrong

you see the wt states that god said you could get a divorce for oral sex, it was never presented as an opinioin, but instead as a bible teaching

then a few years later they say that god says no,

could you please show one bible text where those in charge were TEACHING THINGS IN GOD NAME to all the congregations--- when in fact it was thier opinion

you see when the apostles asked jesus was he setting up the kingdom THEY WERE ASKING A QUESTION, - IT WAS thier personal view, it was not something they were teaching thruout the congreagations and DFing anyone who didn't agree with them

yet the wt dfed anyone who disagreed with them on this issue

Well damnation if it ain't the 'postman' himself! I suppose you had similar thoughts about those customer's on your route, that happened to subscrible to unapproved reading material like 'Playboy', 'The Christian Science Moniter' ......did you remove the brown wrapper's from the WT and Asleep mags for the householder, Friday?

Well since you stopped being an active jw in the 70's, I suppose that was the only approved way of salving your consience, from lack of participation in the preaching work.....so it's ok little man, you did what you could. Iam sure your 'sky god' will forgive your weakness.

So before you go throwing around alot of critique about poster's here, you should take stock of your double standards, and when and if you do.......make up your mind who you really are!
