  The "Faulty weights, scales and measurements" of the Governing Body!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  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:.

  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 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  digimon, 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...

  Check out this great presentation by Seth Andrews:

  I thought all "false religion" had to be destroyed first?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it 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....

  All things ranging from Child Abuse mishandling, to Financial and 'charitable' status are being questioned. Many more issues are resulting in the Society having to invest great deals of time and money to defend itself!

  So, did they get the timing of the "prophecy" wrong, or what?

  Satan is "bullying" you through family

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.

  in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.

  in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.
