Australian Jehovah's Witnesses are ignorant of the Australian Royal Commission

by stuckinarut2 in

many here have asked how the average witness in australia is taking the news of the arc findings and conclusions.. is it affecting them?.

sorry to say, hardly any are even aware of the facts.

those that are, have been convinced that all the publicity is "apostate lies and satanic propaganda".

Yes, sadly,one elder I know is going around saying that "the ARC was full of praise for how well the society cooperated with the enquiry"

Sheeplike?? A Christian Requirement or WT Controlling mechanism?

by BluesBrother in

when we were practising witnesses we heard a lot about the need to be "sheeplike" , having a sheeplike attitude and personality .

a typical comment might be :.

"lasting peace & happiness just ahead" 2009 p 30.

Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?

by Room 215 in

i may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.

any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

by steve2 in

several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

stuckinarut2

"What? Someone wanted to actually TALK to us??"

Cue "head-explode" moment.....

Jehovah God Is Not Real

by Onager in

there are many of us on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists.. i think this is a great and wonderful thing to be celebrated!

i'd like people to list the reasons why they do not believe that jehovah exists.

this is open to all, not just atheists or agnostics, but anyone that believes that the god as put forward by jw.org does not and can not be real.. i'll start: .

I did the "fleece test" many times...and the responses were overwhelmingly silent...

The level of ignorance is simply outstanding!
Sadly it seems that the society has done an OUTSTANDING job of distracting the "flock" from the realities taking place.

But, as a great quote said: "Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored" (Aldous Huxley)

Jehovah - I don't like you.

What is wrong with you all? (sarcasm alert)

Don't you all know that we were created in "god's Image" ??

So, it seems that he didn't have issues with destroying little babies and women on multiple occasions.

He also has no problem being a close "friend" of a man who was going to kill his own son and sacrifice him.

He also has no issues with men who offer their daughters to be pack-raped.

Or he has no issue with men who committed incest with their daughters.

Shall we go on?

It is odd really, that if we were "created in God's Image" , we humans find such things repulsive....

Australian Royal Commission mentions that G. Jackson was inconsistent

by Daniel1555 in

it's great that the following is officially mentioned in the royal commission's report:.

when asked if the governing body members saw themselves as ‘jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth’, mr geoffrey jackson answered that it ‘would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using’.

mr jackson’s response seems to be inconsistent with the documentary evidence before the royal commission, which shows that jehovah’s witnesses believe that the governing body is the ‘channel’ by which jehovah’s ‘will’ is communicated to them..

Steve2: I get that the GB openly state they are not infallible. I do not get that, as infallible men, they expect of you unquestioning loyalty upon pain of being shunned by your entire community.

WELL SAID SIR! Well said indeed!
