  Pretend to honour principles, but make laws instead!

  by doubtfull1799 in

  this from the latest watchtower question from readers:.

  "how a christian chooses to protect him- self, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.

  that said, bible principles reflect god’s wisdom and his love for us.

  this from the latest watchtower article on propaganda:.

  "keep in mind that satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well.

  because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if peo- ple .

  Here you go.... (however, the irony and hypocrisy is of course mind blowing, especially when they say that a real friend doesn't expect you to think the same or same opinions....)

  why does watchtower say that the 'world-wide preaching work' occurs in x amount of lands, not countries?

  "They teach commands of Men as doctrines"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  it occurred to me that the bible has recorded jesus as saying at matthew 15:9.

  "their worship is in vain, as they teach commands of men as doctrines".

  (Some GREAT versions there!)

  How true that is when it comes to the GB teaching that even parents should actively ignore and shun their own children if they leave the society!

  Yes, the very notion that a society or group of men should influence, distort and get in the way of natural human familial relationships is so dysfunctional!

  Thoughts?

  Great point Searcher!

  They have tried to distance themselves from the craziness of Russell and Rutherford by saying only the current GB are officially god's channel.

  However, when convenient, they try and claim "historicity" of the society as proof of being god's channel!

  GB asks every JW to give Putin their home address

  by MrHappy in

  1. social
  2. current

  jw's around the globe have been encouraged to write letters to putin and the russian government.

  they are expected to give their personal details on the envelope.

  i appreciate that this might be normal when writing to your own government if they are tolerant, but is this not a bit strange that the gb want to give putin the address of every jw in the world?

  This whole campaign is STUPID on so many levels!

  1) If the letters are what will "talk sense" into a dictator like Putin, then is Jehovah too impotent to solve it on his own??

  2) NOTHING scream CULT more that an orchestrated campaign by the GB to coax all witnesses into acting as their agents!

  3) Do they actually think anyone from Putin's office will read these letters??

  wow! What irony and hypocrisy!

  It sounds like that classic quote from a WT study few years back (can someone remember where it was from please and quote it?)

  "At that time, life saving direction will come from (the GB). We must be willing to obey it, NO MATTER HOW STRANGE OR UNUSUAL it appears to be..."

  They are certainly getting worried about witnesses doing research and finding out facts!
