  "Unique" Achievements By the WTS - Special Only Through The Ability of the World to Do The Same

  by konceptual99 in

  bit of a long winding topic title but the thread on the dub in the bunker video made me think of what thing the wts does that are seen as basically impossible for anyone else to do and therefore evidence of holy spirit and god's blessing, yet those same things are done by the rest of the world day in, day out.. i have a few examples:.

  - ability to buy a feck off big printing press and print thousand of magazines an hour.

  only that every other big publishing organisation uses the same presses to do the same thing.. - ability to get inexperienced people to act using an acting coach as well as produce feature length films with reasonably high production value levels and special effects.

  HS could do that whole MEPS thing, but still not prevent the child abuse issues....and the subsequent cover ups that followed....

  #4 there are two ways to get sins wiped outthe following five scriptures lay the foundation stone of christianity, namely, that christ died for people's sins.

  virtually every christian denomination on earth accepts these bible statements without question: .

  (matthew 26:28) "....this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.

  FANTASTIC thread! Excellent reasoning!

  Thanks for sharing.

  And the society has the gall to say that others take scriptures out of context! Ha! Why don't they read and apply the context?!

  So if an official Acting Coach was hired, it doesn't say much for her skill set!

  The acting is atrocious in those videos!

  any idea what could have happened to song 151?

  what logical reason could they have had to skip a number.

  Oh dear Fade toBlack..... That's must be terrible to hear!

  But I think you have just given the org another "great idea" to promote to the flock...kingdom ringtones!

  They could charge a fee for them, and make more money than the small amounts Sophia's ice cream donations would amount to!

  What about Public Speaking?

  We were always told that ONLY gods people can deliver public addresses with such poise and style....

  Yet, people the world over, men and WOMEN deliver far better talks to crowds every day!

  God's name

  first at all, there is a new marketing video of god's name, clearly saying the name of god is jehovah.. link: https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodbible/docid-502014331_1_video.

  and then, there is the video with geoffrey jackson (gb) clearly saying that the original name of god is not known and the use of jehovah is because of it is the most used variant in english.. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwv_8ocvkj8.

  so, something contradicts here, isn't it?.

  It has struck me that as parents age and require the assistance of their children, they may find themselves very much alone because of shunning their children!

  Well written.

  In addition to the good suggestions others have made, I would also add:

  "as revelation clearly states, we are to 'get out from amongst them, and quit touching the unclean things, for their sins have massed clear to heaven', hence I am following the bibles advice to remove myself from an organization that is against god"

  Just a little anecdote illustrating how out of touch the typical JW is

  this weeks book study lesson was on martha, the sister of lazarus.

  the chapter in the "imitate their faith" book praised her for being "industrious".. the conductor at our congregation meeting was just positively gushing about how "industrious" modern-day jw women are.. he was so exciting, he could barely get the words out.

  following is not an exact quote, but conveys the gist:.
