  What a self righteous wannabe elder!

  Creating his own agenda and proposal. Sounds like some mts or bethelite.....

  In fact, it sounds like someone I know.... what congregation did he say he was in? Did anyone catch it?

  "Jehovah's Organization"

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about this phrase.

  when you get baptized, you belong to "jehovah's organization".

  when you go out in field service, you are.

  Good point.

  It particularly comes out when you receive a letter from "Jehovah's organisation"

  There is NO PERSON that signs off. All letters come from "watchtower bible and tract society", or some other entity they use in that region.

  No matter who authored the letter, it merely comes from "the society"

  2. friends

  for many years i hosted the ex-jehovah’s witness meet up group in portland oregon.

  i heard a lot of sad stories about what people had lost trying to get away from the jehovah’s witnesses.

  there were whole families that were wiped out.

  Governing Body trying to control marital relationships

  by Whynot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  4 years ago during the circuit overseers visit he asked a rather innapropriate question from the platform.

  i say it's innapropriate because i think it's wrong to tell happy married couples how to love each other and much more wrong it is to tell them they should love their children less.. he said: "mothers, who should you love more your children or your husband?

  " i think most mothers will quickly say you should love your children more.

  Yes, Steve is right.

  It shouldn't be a matter of "which do you love more". Love for family members is just that -Love.

  Why does there have to be a choice between which is greater?

  Great thread!

  We KNOW how private information about house-holders has been used in the past. We did it ourselves. We kept details about their names, family members, dogs name, kids details, religious background, discussion topics etc... It was taught to us by the society. Such information can easilly be misused.

  So, it is fantastic to see how the world has progressed to recognise that this is not appropriate anymore!

  Strange conundrum

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just had a thought inspired by @newboy's recent post:.

  why is it that despite the watchtower corporation being arguably the biggest publishing house in history, having produced billions of tracts, brochures, magazines, books for o very 100 years, and having the largest army of volunteer publicity agents on the planet, that 99% of the population is still clueless as to what their message is all about?.

  if you ask random people what jw's beleive you will rarely get the so-called "good news": gods kingdom is going to soon usher in a paradise earth and fix all the worlds problems under the 1000 year reign of christ.. you will instead get: "they're the people who... 1. don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, 2. don't take blood, 3. go around with the watchtower, 4. have big assemblies... etc etc".

  Great thread Doubtfull1799!

  Yes, if the ALMIGHTY is backing the efforts of "his one true organization", then he is not doing a very good job!
