The picture is so low res it's hard to tell, but after closer examination I can see a line running up the blade, like the edge of a metal sword, NOT a lightsaber. Whew! 😌

"Armageddon is already here"; "the preaching work is done" -- rogue teachings in your congregation?

by FatFreek 2005 in

one of my jw sons seems to be putting pressure on his non-jw brother apparently to scare him into accepting the troof and start coming to meetings.

wild statements like our topic title, which i know are not supported at jw dot org, have been made to my non-jw son several times over the past year or so.

while i haven't been privy to the actual phone conversations i tend to believe that the jw son is being pressured by the local elders to cut ties with the non-jw since their conversations seem to degrade into arguments -- therefore tending to weaken the jws faith in wt teachings.. either my jw son is lying about what i would call rogue teachings (and this would disappoint me greatly) or he is in some close knit clique in his congregation which has secretly chosen to go rogue on certain wt issues.. based on many of the recent posts here about drastic money and wt organization problems this could be a sign of pending splits of certain congregation members.. what do you think?

It's within the realm of possibility. My congregation's pastor (just kidding, he's really the service overseer and former COTBOE, but everybody looks to him as the resident seer seeing as he's anointed and very outspoken, so he might as well be the pastor) often corners people in speculative doctrinal conversations that often take a turn for the bizarre, and yes, he has a plethora of his own pet theories and shall we call it "head cannon" that he will present as fact or close to it. He doesn't get in trouble, people just lap it up like he's the son of God with a new Gospel.

A woman without a voice

this is my story in a nut-shell.

i hope some of you can relate.

if you can..i would love to hear from you.. i have been crushed and heartbroken more times than i can recount by a religion that claims to be based totally on love and mercy and most of that harm has come from the so called "shepherds" who or are supposed to lovingly take the stray lambs in their arms and lead them gently back to safety.

Glad to hear you've kept the faith. Organized religion is often a snare and a racket, and you don't need it to be spiritual. 🙂

I am so sorry for what you've gone through. No two situations are identical, but my mother went through various vaguely similar things with the Elders and her husband. This story in one form or another has, is and will be repeated many times the world over, and most don't tell for the reasons you cited. JWs perpetuate abusive relationships because the organization ITSELF is like an abuser, and its' adherents like those who are abused and in denial.

November 2017 monthly program affected by apostates??

by neat blue dog in

i recently watched a video about a kingdom hall demonstration from a link on this site, and in the comments on youtube somebody said this: .

i understand that the "apostate" activity this week has caused the wt/gb to change the content of the november jwbroadcasting episode and will delay its release until they can figure out how to spin this activity.. .

has anybody heard of this or is there any truth to this?

they are getting ready to replace the current GB with CGI

Then the hipsters would decry the lack of practical effects 🙄 😁
