The "Faulty weights, scales and measurements" of the Governing Body!
by stuckinarut2 inwhile chatting with forum friends the other day, we recognised the way that the gb have so cleverly set a faulty benchmark.
yes, a faulty set of scales or weights for all witnesses!.
two scriptures can even apply:.

Feb 2018 jwbroadcasting train wreck!
by stuckinarut2 inoh wow!.
the feb2018 broadcast is an absolute masterclass in cult manipulation, and a prime example of the high control nature of the society!.
if you haven't watched it, be prepared for some really disturbing stuff, especially as they address children, and guilt them into jw activity.

Just wait till the part where they bring in two (approx.) 8 year old boys as part of the "teaching program"!
Those poor kids!
I just hope that at least one them wakes up as her gets older, and joins us here! I mean statistically, its very likely!

I really can't describe just how bad it is...
If you can't stomach the actual broadcast, check out Lloyd Evens great rebuttal instead:

Brazen Conduct???
by Vanderhoven7 inhow is brazen conduct defined by the elders?
.
do you know of any cases where it has been improperly used against the r&f...you-know, like squeezing the toothpaste tube the wrong way is sometimes touted as mental cruelty?

I can just imagine a scenario like this:
"what!? Brother so and so, you will not attend the assigned congregation? You are living outside of the territory? You have not abided by the clear direction of us as elders? BRAZEN CONDUCT"
or
"Brother, your facial hair is not appropriate. You have ignored our request and direction to shave it now several times. You are showing a rebellious and BRAZEN ATTITUDE!"
or
"brother, your pants are too tight, and you seem to carry a pillow with you often, BRAZEN CONDUCT!"

Why are the GB and JWs scared of "apostates" and "research"? Romans 8: 35-39
by stuckinarut2 ini was just pondering this passage of scripture:.
romans 8:35-39 (new world translation).
35 who will separate us from the love of the christ?+ will tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword?+ 36 just as it is written: “for your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.”+ 37 on the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious+ through the one who loved us.

Great comments everyone! Thank you for weighing in.
It really amazes me just how the average witness does not see how controlled they are by the GB!

While chatting with forum friends the other day, we recognised the way that the GB have so cleverly set a faulty benchmark. Yes, a faulty set of scales or weights for all witnesses!
Two scriptures can even apply:
Proverbs 11:1 "The LORD detests the use of dishonest scales, but he delights in accurate weights"
Proverbs 20:23 "The LORD detests double standards; he is not pleased by dishonest scales."
So just think about it. EVERYTHING that witnesses do. EVERY decision they make, EVERY choice they make, EVERY perspective on life etc is made using the "weights" or "measurements" of the Governing Body!
It could be likened to having a measuring tape that shows 1 meter in length. Then using that measurement, a whole building is constructed.
BUT, what if it is discovered AFTER completing the building that the measuring tape was only 90 cm, and NOT 1 meter in length?
Or what if the weights used on a scale were NOT the indicated 1 kg, but actually only 900grams??
The GB and WT Society have effectively done this to every JWs life! They have used inaccurate and distorted measurements that have adversely affected the lives of millions!
Thoughts?

E-mail chains that became doctrine
by paradiseseeker indigimon, pokemon, hello kitty, "waka waka" by shakira... are things that all of a sudden became frowned upon because of a random menopausal jw housewife that read an e-mail chain that said that those things were satanic.
furthermore, we were explicitly warned about pokemon and waka waka from the platform of a district convention.
have you experienced more examples of such mastery of critical thinking?

This kind of thing was not unique to JWs sadly...

I thought all "false religion" had to be destroyed first?
by stuckinarut2 init struck me that the organisation has taught that before jehovah's people would be "attacked" by the governments, all of "babylon the great" would have to be destroyed first?.
yet, what do we see worldwide?
governments of all sorts have either already, or are in the process of massive investigations and enquiries into the organisation!.

Well said nowwhat! Great comment😀
Of course, I don't believe in any form of biblical truth or prophecy, but was just musing over this glaring error of JW doctrine....
