Hard to be completely respectful and the JW attitude

by scratchme1010 in

recently at work they conducted an mbti test for me.

for those who don't know, the mbti test is a personality test used by organizational psychologists in companies and organizations.

it is supposed to describe the best way you communicate, the best way of giving and receiving feedback, and for managers that test is supposed to explain to them the best way to manage their employees (i'm over simplifying, i know).. my profile came up as some kind of introvert (and when i was told that i said "what?

I share some of these thought /speech patterns,

Apparently this can also be caused by feelings of abandonment,

I think that our experiences can give us quite a cynical outlook,

I often thought about a loving God destroying a naked bloated Biafran kid,

What I was thinking is what is this person going to feel about Jehovah's gracious goodness and be moved to praise his name,

Still we try to think and make sense about everything,

Also, maybe the brothers more so, we just have to shut up and bite our tongues so much I think it leads to a lot of sarcasm etc

Thank you for your interesting post,

SILLY OBSESSION: Jehovah's Witnesses' Conspiracy Theory about the Return of Christ

by TerryWalstrom in

______silly obsessionsome groups of people in the world believe flying saucers and space aliens are secretly visiting our planet intervening in man’s affairs.

jehovah’s witnesses believe something very similar!

"before leaving the earth, jesus christ promised to return.".

"50 Years a Watchtower Slave" Chapter 5 Part B

by new boy in

one thing they never talked about at the assemblies was how many predictions they made in the pass about the so called end of the world.

predictions that never came to be.

i didn’t know it at the time and most jehovah’s witnesses didn’t know that charles russell (1852-1916), the founder, believed that christ had secretly arrived in the year 1874 and that he would establish the kingdom of god on earth in october 1914 russell based this prophecy on his studies of the bible and the great pyramid.

The Prophesy of 1925 that New Boy talks about fails,

MOST WITNESSES LEAVE!!

These ones are now written off as "Evil Slave"

Meanwhile the Good Guy Rutherford celebrates the fact that he is an "ass"

(his words) by building a mansion (Beth Sarim) for the resurrected princes,

Labour for construction/maintenance all by volunteer/slave labour,

Money for this as well as two luxury cars provided by private Witness donors, (I'm thinking they liked old Uncle Joe)

Watch Tower has been successful in almost completely suppressing this information ( I am aware of only 2 paragraphs in the Proclaimers Book)

Ask anyone today about this and see what happens,

This is a cult

That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

by new boy in

it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

No,

It doesn't specifically state "2034", nowhere in print that "Armageddon will be in 1975" either,

But the article, as planned, (as 1975) gets the grass roots brothers excited and talking,

Then when things don't turn out they blame the brothers for talking out of turn, being presumptuous, and if they leave "not waiting on Jehovah"

These guys are diabolical,
