  Russia and the letter writing

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the whole of the instructions that the watchtower gave jws when writing to russian officials -.

  content • you are writing to the official to request his intervention.

  express the hope that the russian authorities will stop the legal action being taken against the branch office and the congregations in russia so that our brothers and sisters can continue to gather peacefully for christian meetings without interference.

  Were You Ever Disfellowshipped or Judicially Reproved?

  i never got into trouble with the elders.

  i served on judicial committees too many times.

  i am happy that i no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer!

  I simply politely refused to go before any elders....

  Why should I submit myself to such a sham of events?

  Always remember this: "The ONLY power they have over you, is that which you allow"

  Two (circumstantial) lines of evidence for the real motivation behind the Russian lobbying?

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower

  1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.

  no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.

  2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?

  Great observation indeed!

  Yes, the ASSETS are the issue here.

  Plus they are using this "letter writing" campaign as a way to build hype and enthusiasm amongst the flock, all the while feuling the persecution complex!

  msoneone of fb sent me this.

  looks like they know they're being exposed as the frauds they are.

  this plus the theme of the next convention "don't give up" just reeks of desperation.. stash: /intesoft-inc.appspot.com/post/b21fe47ca2644a0ea2f6e28fe6401145.html

  wow...desperation indeed!

  The GB know that TRUTH is always going to come out, so they try and stigmatize anything said by others as "dangerous propaganda"

  "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".

  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.

  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....)
