  Today's WT glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and therefore immortality

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.

  so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.

  also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.

  What about having "hungry eyes" is that acceptable when parousing the all-u-can eat buffet?

  Do you think the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a war crime or a terrible act of war ?

  i believe that the bombings shortened the war in the pacific and probably saved countless lives.

  i am not an expert on this subject but given the times it was probably the correct and moral thing to do.. what say you all?.

  Those in Denial Hate Exposure And Being Forced To Face The Truth

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think if you look at the governing body and the efforts they will go to cover up their crimes against humanity i can rest my case.. the governing body are in great emotional pain as they are being brought to court over these denial issues, expect to see great distortions of fact and compartmentalization going on and them getting owned for it as they are called to court to testify before a tribunal which will hang them because it..

  To be in emotional pain, you need to be able to feel! The governong body are devoid of human feelings, and only seethe at anyone daring to question them.

  Malawi can be a pretty dangerous place. Maybe he was actually shoe-jacked by a local, and decided to put a more encouraging spin on the experience, to land a part at the convention.

  so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.

  we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.

  but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

  I realized early on in my waking up process that others will only wake up in their own time in their own way.

  Just as I had to. It is incredibly frustrating when you see the potential for a normal relationship, but it is not possible

  due to the indoctrination. No easy answers, unfortunately.

  Contradicting Governing Body Members

  by Illuminated in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so we've heard from three different governing body members this year regarding child sexual abuse.. the latest one on the rc admitted there's a sexual abuse problem within the cult, yet lett and morris swept the dirt under the carpet stating they have a great reputation as far as sex abuse is concerned, and pointed their fingers at "apostate lies".

  .

  i'm left totally confused at the contradiction of this "organization"..

  If you were left totally confused by the contradictions then the contradictions have served their purpose.

  It's like a game of "which shell is the truth hiding under?"

  That makes me wonder.

  Stairway to Heaven, Highway to Hell - what, the afterlife can't afford an elevator?

  As far as naughty songs go, I remember singing along to "I smell sex and candy...." and getting the raised eyebrow/ stinkeye for my efforts. Killjoys!

  "Guardians of the doctrines"

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i can't help thinking that there is something essentially wrong with gj's new description of the role of the gibbering biddies as guardians of the doctrines..

  guardians immediately take on a role of authority, (dont ever forget who is in charge!

  ) guardians outside of the legal sense of adoptive parent has another resonance, it sounds like the inhuman bullies in some dystopian novel about oppressive religious politics.
