  Sometimes I think the WT is mocking the masses

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as in today's study.... 18 to lie is to say something untruthful.

  (as in millions now living will never die, this generation will by no means pass away, allegations of pedophile abuse of children in congregations is apostate lies) however, jehovah wants his people to go beyond not telling outright lies.

  he urged the ancient israelites: “you should be holy, because i, jehovah your god, am holy.” then he gave examples of being holy.

  "would you drink a glass of water if it had just a tiny bit of poison in it?"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  no doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.

  "if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".

  the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.

  BUT, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines. They have procedural problems, and issues with topics such as child abuse.

  SO, even though they may appear like "a pure glass of water", shouldn't we avoid them because of the "one tiny drop of poison" they contain??

  ..................then proverbs 3:5 could read thus: "trust in the governing body with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.

  " .

  's have already reached this point!.

  So much for the scripture in Romans 12:1 that says we should "use our power of reason"

  I guess the society wants witnesses to ignore that counsel....

  AUST: QLD Cairns Post - Tablelands police charge former JW with offences against children

  by darkspilver in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i believe this has appeared into today's edition of the cairns post print newspaper (saturday 4 february 2017) at the top of page 4 under the headline: "indecent charges for man" - the actual text of the article is apparently the same as the online version below:.

  cairns post - saturday 4 february 2017. tablelands police charge former jehovah’s witness with offences against children.

  an elderly tablelands man and former jehovah’s witness member will appear in court this month amid allegations he molested three young girls from the church more than 25 years ago.

  Can we all come up with some more?

  One of the best in my opinion is :

  "New Light. If you can't change what you say, change what what you say means!"

  Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

  i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

  but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

  Yes, our hall ordered three large boxes of these older books to be thrown Away!

  I kept many of them and read them....and cited the direction the society gave us in many kingdom ministry articles to "be proud of and aware of our rich spiritual heritage"

  After reading such books, I understand why the society of today wants to erase this strange history.....

  As revelation said :"her sins have massed up clear to the heavens"

  Now, in this case, the "her" is not Christendom, but JW!
