  Watchtower Ironically Warns It's Memeber About "Propaganda" - Watchtower July 2017

  by pale.emperor in

  https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-july-2017/propaganda-winning-battle-for-your-mind/.

  in what is just the height of irony, watchtower warns us about propaganda, and accepting everything we hear/read.

  yes, we should ignore those that try to stop us thinking critically as this watchtower article will now teach us.

  I read a great quote this week:

  "To know the Truth and be free, you must first work out which lie is holding you captive"

  "special" anti cart campaign!!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  go up to cart witnesses and ask what their organization is doing to aid hurricane victims.

  and when they say they look to gods kingdom for the solution.

  say your solution is for god kill 99.9 % of humans!

  The very premise of witnesses is flawed.

  Rather than being upset if people are killed, they should be happy for them, as they are now guaranteed a resurrection free pass into the new world right?

  Yet, of course, as humans, we are all upset when people are killed in disasters.

  So this shows that witnesses deep down do not believe their doctrines....

  your thoughts on today's watchtower?.

  can you explain?.

  how can material possessions be used to strengthen our friendship with god?

  The article is hypocritically contradictory!

  In one paragraph it says that acquiring wealth is bad, and in another paragraph it speaks about being blessed by Jehovah with material things!?!?

  Those who DO NOT get a resurrection?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".

  however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.

  (for example, those destroyed in the flood.

  Jw theology has stated that any who are directly killed by Jehovah will not get a resurrection. They have effectively been given their divine judgement once and for all time.

  Hence my question in this opening post. All those listed were killed at the direct direction of Jehovah (if the bible is to be taken literally that is...and that is another topic).

  However, those directly destroyed by God, or at his command will not. (For example, those destroyed in the Flood. Or those destroyed in Sodom etc...)

  So what about the:

  -"firstborn sons of Egypt" who god destroyed at Moses time? Exodus 11:4-6, Exodus 12:29

  -"davids sons" 2samual 2:11

  -"davids son with Bathsheba" 2samual 12:13-14

  -children born to prostitutes" Hosea 2:4-5

  -child of jeroboam killed because of his "evilness" 1kings 14:9-12

  -"Hophni and Phineas killed because of the fathers actions" 1 Samuel 2:30-34

  -" 7 of saul's sons and grandsons killed to end a famine" 2 Samuel 21:4-14

  -"the wife of Lot" Genesis 19:26

  -"a child who curses their parents are to be put to death" exodus 21:17

  -"the 42 children killed by the she-bears at Elisha's time" 2kings 2:23-25

  So the list can go on and on, but if all these ones were killed DIRECTLY BY, or at the DIRECTION OF Jehovah, have they been judged unworthy of a ressurection?

  Feel free to add to the list! The best replies win a free pass into the new world!

  Inexcusable.... simply inexcusable.

  "By their fruits you will know my people" Yup!.... clearly..... After all, the God of the bible had no problem with incest, or child abuse, or any number of other awful things (racism, slavery etc). So it is understandable that his "modern organization" also has no problem with it....

  Today's Text - Justifying The Increase Of Annointed Ones!

  by Divergent in

  thursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.

  2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.

  that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

  And yes Stan! You are spot-on!

  The 12,000 virgins from "tribes of isreal" is figurative, but the number 144000 is to be taken literally?

  The very notion of what is "literal" and what is "symbolic" or "figurative" is amusing....

  It really is laughable....

  The whole concept of people being chosen to go to heaven to rule over those on earth...based on words in an iron-age book written by a few animal herders who heard voices in their heads...(The same sort of voices that told them to sacrifice their children, or build a floating zoo, or talk to snakes....)

  Just apply a tint bit of logical thinking to the very concept, and it falls apart...

  2. current

  not a peep about all victims, not even a prayer for them.

  only pray for jws.

  and who or what is jehovah's loving arm of support?

  The selfishness is deplorable!

  For an organisation that claims to want to save as many as possible, and is characterised by love, that article is appalling.
