new situation in world helpful to org?

by Magnum in

sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.

for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.

i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

I agree with what is being said but cults are all about control. As a E-religion how will they do that? How will they oversee offensives which warrants judicial committee? How about their shunning policy? Will there be elders that police the individual homes to make sure they are following the borgs teachings? Or will that all be desolved and it will be up to every household to rule over themselves?

You can see the control the cult has will be diminished. What degree we can only guess but then again becoming a E-religion may be a easy way out for them and a new money source for them. Still Totally ADD

Since it was a white man's religion of the late 19th century from the U.S. it was very racist. Such as I believe they said in the new system black people will become white. Still Totally ADD

Sorry phoenixrising about that. It has been a learning disorder I have fought all my life. It has been very frustrating at times all my life. So I follow Wabi-Sabi. Embracing the imperfections of others or human made objects. ADD Still Totally

Hello everyone 😊

by SuperMarioDiMaggio in

i was a jehovah's witnesses for 15 years (1983-1998) in pietermaritzburg and durban, south africa.

i was baptised in 1985; appointed a ministerial servant in 1987 (aged 21); refused military service on religious grounds in 1989 (served a three year community service sentence) and was appointed an elder in 1993 (aged 26).

i wrote to the governing body in brooklyn four times between 1992-97, respectfully questioning the nonsense they were publishing about science and evolution (you can see all my correspondence and their hilarious replies here: http://bit.ly/jw-md-letters ).

Welcome SuperD to the board. I to was a elder for almost 25 years but I was not a convert. I was a born-in and it took me until I was 56 years before I left. Enjoy your life ahead of you. As time goes on you will realize more how foolish the cult is. Good hearing from you and thank you for the invite. One day I would love to visit your neck of the woods but for now we must stay home in Jamestown NY. Take care. Still Totally ADD

Calling the left a cult is like the pot calling the kettle black. I love how some always resort to name calling like little children. Have you ever thought if you treat everyone with respect on their viewpoints they just might listen to your ideas. We have a leader in the White House who has lead this country by dividing instead of bringing everyone together.

Their would have been no U.S. if it wasn't for liberalism. Our forefathers at the risk of their lives had this crazy idea to break away from Britain. The conservative thinking ones wanted to stay as loyal British subjects. Would you called our forefathers liberal tards? Both sides have good ideas and need to be listen to. But name calling like little children holds no water. We all left a cult and to believe what we want to is a great freedom. But tearing down bridges among us is not the answer. Let the debate continue but if we settle for only one lane of thought the debate will be over and then we are in real trouble. Still Totally ADD

Oh for crying out loud. They are not talking about getting rid of the police. Most realize the police are over burden with dealing with the homeless, mental illness and drug addiction. Instead of arming the police even more why not use that money to go to agencies that will take care of these problem. Jails should not be used for mentally ill like they do now. Why are people given jail time for drugs? That's what they are talking about not getting rid of the police. But helping these people by other agencies instead of burdening the police with it. You so called right thinking is getting in the way of logic. No one wants to get rid of the police if you think they do I got some swamp land for sale. Still Totally ADD

Proof the covid lock down was leftist biased.

Thank you Pale. Viruses are funny things they can show up anywhere. If you could ask the almost 110,000 who have died from it or the close to 2 million who came down with the virus what would they say. The lock down happen so the hospitals would not become overwhelmed with sick people. It is a short time solution with the hope they can come up with a vaccine.

Here many feel it is all over. Big wedding a week ago in our area now 20 came down with the virus. Yesterday a block from us a large birthday party of more than 30 people. I hope none come down with it. We are just a rural community not a large city. Look at Florida and other hot spots. It's not over it is not fake news. Some on this board came down with it. This is the type of conspiracies theory that hurt people. Still Totally ADD

Hierarchy of Organization

by lostsheep82 in

hi, i'm looking for the article published in the 90s i think (i was a teenager) and it showed a diagram of the organizational hierarchy, at the top was jesus, then governing body all the way down to publishers it was in a pyramid style org chart.... can someone point me in the right direction?

additionally, does anyone remember the article or any articles that stated how bad it was that other religions had hierarchy like that?

i remember this being discussed at like a watchtower study or maybe it was a bookstudy.... i am on the hunt for another topic to discuss with my jw parents.

Still Totally ADD

Boy when I saw that chart as a teenager I took it hook, line and sinker. For whatever reason it cemented my thinking this is the true religion. Now I see it as a Amway business chart. Still Totally ADD

Witnessing Work to Stop?

by Sea Breeze in

my 87 year old dad called me for the first time in 16 years the other day .... just to chat.

i was floored to say the least since he didn't even bother to call me when my mom died several years ago.

he called again today to inquire how i felt about jehovah's witnesses.

Still Totally ADD

So let's say they will no longer go door to door anymore. Does that mean a older one dye in the wool witness goes door to door on their own, are they now a apostate? This is truly a slippery slope they are going down if this is true. How could they be called Jehovah Witnesses? If they are not knocking on doors. Maybe it is just wishful thinking on their part.
