    DOUBLETHINK and DOUBLESPEAK




    Doublespeak among the leaders of the Watchtower

    1. Jehovah has worked through one organization only to serve spiritual food at the “proper time.” (WT 1/15/88 p22)

    2. Jesus’ 2nd presence began in 1914.

    3. Jesus inspected what Christians everywhere were teaching (When? On his arrival) and selected the WT Org as “faithful and discreet slave because they were serving food at the proper time Note: This ‘slave’ would be found doing so when the Master arrived.


    In 2013 the following information was exposed by the WT as WRONG TEACHING:

    1. Jesus arrived in 1918 and selected the Watchtower Org as the one true channel

    2. They were appointed over all Jesus’ belongings in 1919.


    DOUBLETHINK among 8 million Jehovah’s Witnesses allows them to believe 2 contradicting ideas at the same time and feel no anxiety or conflict.


    Jehovah only has one channel of communication and that channel was selected upon the arrival of Jesus in 1918 EVEN THOUGH that channel now admits Jesus did not arrive yet for the appointment to take place.



    DOUBLETHINK (to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them (Not the same as cognitive dissonance)


    Cognitive dissonance is a state of mind creating psychological discomfort through inner conflict when two opposite beliefs are held simultaneously.
    Doublethink is acceptance of contradiction without conflict or anxiety.

    As defined by George Orwell in his dystopian 1984 novel: “to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it”

    QUESTION: If this organization is the only true channel of communication serving spiritual food at the proper time, WHY WAS IT TEACHING THE WRONG INFORMATION for the last 99 years?

    He appeared as regent in the personality of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia who warned the League of Nations of the dangers of the Antichrists Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo, and if they had listened to him WWII could have been avoided. I think its time I start convincing Dubs that the timing was right but it was a case of mistaken identity. I'm not saying the Rastafarian interpretation is correct, but that it is 1000 times more plausible than the Governing Body as being anointed by Jehovah.

    Let's face it--Dubs love to parse words in the Bible.

    Historically, Russell teased at the frayed ends of Scripture, but Judge Rutherford snatched, tugged and ripped away unravelling sacred secrets.

    The 2nd Coming is not that simple to the GB.

    Coming isn't good enough.

    We have the word presence. We have the word arrival.

    We also have Second Presence.

    How much juice can you squeeze, Watchtower?


    Now we have Jesus' second coming but NOT his arrival.

    Go figure.
