DUI in the New System

by neat blue dog in

when god's kingdom rules the earth, elders will be put in law enforcement capacity.

during the end of the thousand year reign when satan is let loose, the cop pulls this guy over.. "i have reason to believe you're driving under the influence of masturbation.

show me your hands.".

Winning The Battle For Your Mind Watchtower 7/15/2017

by Brokeback Watchtower in

you are under attack!

and your chief enemy, satan, is using a very dangerous weapon against you.

propaganda!

Yes, the irony is disturbing!

They are guilty of that VERY thing!

The hypocrisy is so infuriating!

As has already been quoted, the Society themselves published a famous quote:

"Education teaches one HOW to think, Propaganda TELLS one WHAT to think"

If only JWs were smart enough to see how manipulated they have been. They feel that the society is the only required source of information....so they deny themselves the opportunity to REALLY think.

Congrats guys!

As a fellow NSW resident, I can attest to the fact Eden is a beautiful place!

Just make sure that you don't allow your wife to eat from the fruit tree in the middle of the garden! And if she does, don't eat it yourself! 😉

God Cannot Lie, But God's Organization Can?

by AmABeliever in

in the recently leaked bethel training videos, both speakers state that inappropriate flirting really amounts to lying, as if a person is misrepresenting either his interest or availability to another person romantically.. we are reminded that the bible is very plain in its expressions on lying such as proverbs 12:22 which states it is detestable to god.

so with the example given here, we must have a very high standard in separating what is truthful from what is not.. with that being the case, it shocks me that bethel would produce a video presented to all in attendance at the 2017 regional convention regarding the early 1970's, essentially rewriting history as to what actually happened.. is misrepresenting your past and misleading millions of followers not a much more extreme case of lying from those who claim to reject any form of lying no matter how small, such as flirting?

would anyone like to add more examples to this thread?.

stuckinarut2

Great thread!

Yes, as Vanderhoven said above, the lies said during the Australian Royal Commission were mind-blowing!

I know many of the brothers who were on the stand from Bethel, and their lies really stood out! Especially the lie said by Vincent Toole "I've never heard of the term 'Theocratic Warfare'"! HE gave a freaking talk on that very subject when I was in Bethel at the same time as him!

The irony is that he thinks he was using "theocratic warfare" to deny the existence of 'theocratic warfare"! I bet he and his cohorts laughed their asses off back at Bethel thinking they were so clever!

A pet peeve

by punkofnice in

a pet peeve of mine is that there are numerous christian denominations (other faiths with their 'holy' books too), all claim that their interpretation of their 'holy' book is the correct interpretation.

my conclusion is that either their god is a very poor communicator or simply doesn't exist.. i used to believe all this stuff when i was a jobo and later a church going christian.

i simply cannot, in all honesty subscribe to it all any more.

stuckinarut2

Yes Punk! Agreed!

Its almost as if the Almighty revels in making it difficult for people to learn the truth about him...and then punishes them with death for failing to know him...

Seems so loving?

Or maybe there is no such thing as a god, but he is the creation of the Bronze Age goat herders and 1st century simpletons who wrote the bible

Please Switch Off Your Critical Thinking

by pale.emperor in

i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.

perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.

watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .

stuckinarut2

Ah, sorry all....I don't know why, but the picture I was trying to paste in the previous post didn't seem to work! Silly me...

It was an image of two children watching a TV screen that simply said "DONT THINK"

I thought it would make a great Jw broadcasting episode!
