Will the Watchtower Corporation continue to lie and deceive just to sustain itself into the future ?

by Finkelstein in

the wts has been selling and promoting christ's return and the end times since the late 1800's, right through all of the 20th century and still continues today on the same core doctrinal premise.. 1914 was set as a year of christ taking position upon his heavenly throne followed by choosing the wts as his earthly guided organization in 1919 according to the wts.

leaders at that time.. the actual truth is that the wts is a publishing house and it was inherently pressed to make up doctrines which would gravitate attention to its published goods, accurate and honest bible interpretation was a second lesser concern.. the original heads of this religious publishing house (c t russell) first proclaimed that christ had returned in 1874 and 1914 was going to be the year jesus was going to cleanse the earth of all wickedness etc.

this was obviously a false doctrine tainted with ignorance and a bit of commercialization in reality.. so the question remains what will the wts do in the future, what will the wts do as far as doctrines to allure the general public at large ?

I have thought for some time now that they will have to eventually water down their stance on several things but to avoid spooking the herd they will do it like they introduce any change: slowly, incrementally and quietly. Then, act as if it was always that way.

In the meantime until the final version of the jwbotborg tele evangelism show is here ( drumroll ta da) they willl continue to mislead and confound members and apostates alike with confusing contradictory information and doublespeak IOW they will continue to do what they do best - lie.

Anointed Delusions of Grandeur

by Kohanic in

so here is something i've been wondering about.

how do the 'anointed' come to the conclusion that they are chosen?

is it some weird collective delusion of grandeur and how is it manifested in such ones?.

sparrowdown

The "annointed" haha yeah, the annoy-nted more like.

They convince themselves they have had an invisible annointing from an invisible holy spirit and everyone is expected go along with it

In any circumstance other than religion it be classed as a some poor sod with a delusion and the people that enable them.

i'm analyzing the 221 congregations in the uk that had additional account info.. correct me if i'm wrong, but was it 2015 when the letter was read out instructing congregations to donate excess funds to the world wide work?.

the amounts donated to the world wide work are significant.

i still have much work to do.. truthseeker.

Hollow earth

by Jrjw in

i thought the flat earth conspiracy theory was strange but ive just read an article about a new conspiracy theory that the earth is hollow and that its a paradise there and 8 foot tall intellectually advanced aliens live there who send space ships out every so often to check on mankind.

apparently lost viking colonies and nazis that fled there after world war 2 are living there immortally 🤣🤣 .

this world just gets better and better 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

sparrowdown

I didn't think hollow earth theory was new either but isn't it great you can read whatever the hell you want now?

Just remember, just cos you read it doesn't mean you have to believe it. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

Curiosity

by Jrjw in

i was just sitting daydreaming about answering up during a watchtower and exposing one of the lies the wts has stated in the study material and wondering what the reaction would be 😊 has anyone ever done this on their way out?

?

sparrowdown

To get away with something llike this effectively you would have to use their own WTspeak in a way that didn't set off apostate alarm bells in their delicate little indoctrinated brains. Then say something that on the surface sounds like it belongs to the paragraph but with just a little thinking (cos remember Jduds don't think) it becomes obvious the comment is actually a criticism or posing a - shock horror gasp - critical thinking question.

Then pick up your stuff and calmly walk out while their collective brain first makes the sound of crickets but then one by one pennies start to drop and they start thinking "hang on a minute .."

Hi, all...I'm a faithful JW who is sick of lies about us

by James Donalds in

i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.

but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.

we are not mindless automatons.

sparrowdown

Have you invited the elders to share a few scotches and a cigar with you while you tell them you don't agree with everything the GB does? If not I recommend you do then get back to us.

As for being sick of the so-called by you "lies" would you like us to call the wambulance for you?

One of the things I disliked about moving to a new congregation

by Jules Saturn in

i hope i’m not the only one who experienced this but i hated it when we moved to a new congregation and another family from the congregation we were in would move to the same congregation basically following us.

and it was annoying because i always felt like there was this competition over privileges and participation during the meetings with this particular family.

it was so annoying.

sparrowdown

Jules the JW religion runs on competion. It's the fuel that keeps people reaching out and trying harder.

The borg is like the great capitalist religion the way it uses competition to it's advantage.
