Sometimes I think the WT is mocking the masses
by NikL inas in today's study.... 18 to lie is to say something untruthful.
(as in millions now living will never die, this generation will by no means pass away, allegations of pedophile abuse of children in congregations is apostate lies) however, jehovah wants his people to go beyond not telling outright lies.
he urged the ancient israelites: “you should be holy, because i, jehovah your god, am holy.” then he gave examples of being holy.

"would you drink a glass of water if it had just a tiny bit of poison in it?"
by stuckinarut2 inno doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.
"if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".
the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.

What has been your own personal experience of shunning?
by UnshackleTheChains ini am interested in finding out on a small scale the extent of which shunning has impacted on you personally.. my own experience is that when i faded about 12 years ago.
the woman whose house the book study was held at (and who was virtually a neighbour) walked right past me in my own street.
i remember it so well.

Great thread!
Yes, we have all had these sort of experiences.
I started a few threads on it. At that time it really annoyed me to see how the average witness has their "opinions" of close friends made up for them by someone else!

No doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:
"If you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?"
The society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.
BUT, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines. They have procedural problems, and issues with topics such as child abuse.
SO, even though they may appear like "a pure glass of water", shouldn't we avoid them because of the "one tiny drop of poison" they contain??

If the RNWT is revised again...................
by The Searcher in..................then proverbs 3:5 could read thus: "trust in the governing body with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
" .
's have already reached this point!.

So much for the scripture in Romans 12:1 that says we should "use our power of reason"
I guess the society wants witnesses to ignore that counsel....

by darkspilver ini believe this has appeared into today's edition of the cairns post print newspaper (saturday 4 february 2017) at the top of page 4 under the headline: "indecent charges for man" - the actual text of the article is apparently the same as the online version below:.
cairns post - saturday 4 february 2017. tablelands police charge former jehovah’s witness with offences against children.
an elderly tablelands man and former jehovah’s witness member will appear in court this month amid allegations he molested three young girls from the church more than 25 years ago.

Can we all come up with some more?
One of the best in my opinion is :
"New Light. If you can't change what you say, change what what you say means!"

I know that all the witnesses in our area must have them already implanted in their heads!
