Sometimes I think the WT is mocking the masses

by NikL in

jw
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.

How, I was wondering if anyone here numbered and listed Jackson's lies

at the ARC

Thanks,

Another generation....

by joey jojo in

it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

"Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it"

I've tried during my life to figure out people and religion

People, women, going up over 10 flights of stairs on their knees,

Stopping on each step to offer prayers,

MuslIm emerges from a mihrab, in tears, emotionally exhausted to be

comforted by family,

The ritual of mass sometimes daily,

Older folks "old faithfuls" going to "meetings" 3 times a week,

Ministry

The commonalities here between these groups are greater than their

differences,

The greatest book the Watch Tower produced was "Mankind's Search for

God"

It gave an understanding of where religion came from

It quoted Anthropologists

Most importantly Witnesses could read it without reprisal!

One thing I learned about all the examples above and later from fellow

Witnesses

They all DO NOT want to examine their religion

Do you know the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes"?

In the modern day application the people CAN'T see the truth,

To me it's apparent that they don't want to

They can't "handle the truth"

And in the modern version they silence the little boy as well

Made me think of the musical Tommy where the followers of a religious

cult were required to block their ears and eyes

I'd be interested in reading her pieces,

What kind of objective journalism could she bring to the table?

By comparison, how about a woman who is a devout Muslim

How about a Scientologist

An Evangelical when reporting on a new abortion clinic?

Maybe it could work if she reported on Business or Fluff pieces

Wonder if she'll stay pioneering as well, because as for appointed bros

there's a different standard of what's expected of you than r&f

Unless they're wrong...

She's baptized!

A JW journalist?

You've got to be kidding

I'm sorry I don't celebrate (whatever)

I have a list I'll send you a pdf

Within 5 years something's going to give

I'll put money on a marriage and clerical job or

Selling jewelery to sisters at parties or school bus driver for

$600/mo

I'll stay tuned

:)

Numbers 31:17,18 is not talking about torture

It is however Biblical support for genocide

Trump might want to put it aside for future reference

Watchtower No.3 2017 - The Four Horesmen

by pale.emperor in

this is the first time i've read through a watchtower magazine in about a year.

although i've been our only 8 months it really git me how crazy i must have sounded when i was a jw talking to non jws.. while other bible based religions talk about the 4 horsemen and back up their theories with other scriptures or historical evidence, the watchtower have taken so such steps.

1914 is thrown in there as if it's universally agreed that jesus started ruling since then.. even when i was a jw i never really understood why, if the pale horse represents jesus, why is he first?
