the guy who reads the watchtower stuff and scratches his head, sure something is amiss but not sure of what’s really happening.. it may also be of some interest to those curious of the nuts and bolts of watchtower’s methods of scripture twisting.. in tonight’s “digging for spiritual gems: (8 min.

Jesus had clearly not formed a greedy-for-money, power hungry, UN affiliated, pedophile protecting, lying, scheming, scripture twisting false prophet publishing house/real estate business yet.....

Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

by nicolaou in

firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

Vidiot - re: "a way" I said the same thing on page three of this thread.

Even threads about threads go round in circles maybe that's why some that vist might be put off - it's all been done oh oh oh oh it's all been doooooone....befooooooore.

watchtower's leaked video.... watchtower's preaching initiative sift.

Shows how desperate the elders are to defibrilate some kind of excitement for preaching.

What cong hears this "presentation" doesn't matter cuz nobody cares about formal d2d work anymore - d2d is dead.

JW Refutations of Criticism of Russell and Rutherford

by Duvduv in

can someone direct me to jw refutations of the harsh criticisms of charles russell and judge rutherford that are on the internet and youtube?

i am a fair person and insist on hearing both sides to a controversy.

in this case, i would like to know what traditional yw responds to such personal criticisms and alleged changes in beliefs.

sparrowdown

You're right was.

JWs don't care about The two R's. Russell and Rutherford are old news to them and they don't give a toss what they did or believed. When I was in very few, if any, people were interested in WT ancient history. They only care about what the GB are doing now and any criticisms of the old dudes would just bounce off their indoctrinated brains, dismissed with a wave of the hand.

I agree, I think less and less people believe in "God" in the traditional sense anymore. The very formal picture painted by the churches of a literal "God" man sitting on a "throne" in "heaven" is the stuff of days-gone-by sunday schools now. It was used to keep kids "good" or rather obedient but most people that still believe there is more to life than what we can see have moved way beyond that simplistic child's story.
