  does the wt always carefully phrase sentences so as to never take blame?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im recalling a time when i sat and circled words in a watchtower article, indicating strongly the fact that it is in fact the writters opinion.. however just the suggestion in the sentence these words are ignored.. for example.

  it is our understanding.

  we believe this to be the case.

  Just to get into the spirit of whatever hairtrigger is drinking right now.

  The WT are sons of fatherless goats!

  You could also point out that he is going against WT policy just writing you.

  I agree with Lisa if he chooses to break contact that is his right I suppose,

  but he has no right to judge you for yours.

  Have you been J-SNUBBED? HOW RUDE!

  i got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.

  and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.

  why not identify the true nature of a policy,.

  Convention = pep rally

  public talk = talk advertised as "public" but unless you speak JW, most of the content will be lost on you.

  JWs give lip-service to the Jesus man, but they dispensed with his "saviour" services long ago.

  The GB is the new Jesus.
