  Marking Talk of Couple

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at no time did the elders ever mention apostasy.

  days later after a shepherding call which only covered child abuse handling they are being marked as if they are trying to get their own followers etc.

  so so sad.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktm7fsqwrw.

  This is likely a very similar talk that was given before they DF'd me.

  They are cowards that refuse to examine reality and will cover over anything to pretend they are protecting god's reputation.

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  The picture is a screen grab and crop of a brain dead dub going to the convention in last year's 'white board teaching video'.

  My name is Kairos. My *real* first name.

  I never go by it. Only my closest friends know the name.
  I'm hiding in plain site.

  Also for extra credit:
  research 'kairos' in the WT library.

  Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

  by opusdei1972 in

  today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

  they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

  this attitude favors their culpability.

  When elders start going to jail after WT lawyers give terrible advice, things will change.

  Aside from the full blown lying like the end is NOT coming, it's the poor loyal JWs that are growing old and can't do anything about this.

  You've been a JW all your life and you are approaching 70.
  There's no way you can risk researching and verifying your suspicions.

  You can't think about it or discuss your concerns with anyone.

  Instead you pretend everything is fine and Jehovah will fix it all later.
  ( this is the story of my older loyal JW wife )

  It's the most evil 'bait and switch' that I am aware of.

  It may be getting to the point where the JWs are expecting to do crazy things whenever their G.O.D. tell them to.

  It's madness you need to be free of.

  Every minute spent at a KH or JW event is time wasted.
  You cannot recover time lost.

  Freedom is valuable. People have sacrificed everything for the benefit of future generations.

  I'm getting to the point where I simply do not miss these people.If they approach me at sometime in the future I will certainly be there for them.

  The strange part is how much they fear us, those that reject the meetings and videos that are full of lies.

  They legitimately cannot understand why we are "rejecting the only hope for life". They are baffled. Then when asked what is the current message and hope, it's blank stares. How would you ever be able to 'research' using the WT library, since you never know what's the current understanding anymore. Every meeting has the potential for life altering changes.

  JWs give up everything for the Borg. Free time, personal goals, relationships, love of others, family and even their own life if required.
  ( rejecting life saving blood or preaching in very unsafe conditions to their demise. )

  You cannot be a JW if you do not regularly express your loyalty to the Governing Body.
  You also need to be mentally prepared to do anything they say:

  At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

  WTBTS vs. Islam

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the articles and meeting parts have been missing something all along, as far as i can see.. jws are taught to demonize all 'worldly' ( not jws) organizations, individuals and religions as having no value only to be destroyed by god at 'harm-you-gettin'-( armageddon ).. why do they not mention islam?no scathing denouncements?.

  the only publication i really remember, was the "mankind's search for god" book that touched on the beliefs and practices of muslims.. why do you think this is the case?.

  Thanks for the replies.

  I guess my point was, one cannot be a Muslim if they do not follow the leadership ( ones that claim to have the market cornered on Muhammad ). They have figured out a way to fool some members into killing themselves and others for Allah with a everlasting reward in view.

  Sound familiar?

  Just like you cannot be a JW if you do not regularly express your loyalty to the Governing Body.
  You also need to be mentally prepared to do anything they say:

  At that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not. Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking. w13 11/15 3:16, 17 Examining the Scriptures—2015

  Are Witnesses really "Bible Students"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.

  when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.

  just a thought.....

  In my old hall in Napa, Ca, they would always introduce the weekly Watchtower study as our "Bible study with the aid of the Watchtower".

  Of course we all know it is not a study at all.
  No questions or alternate views are ever entertained.
  In fact, have you ever been at the meeting when a non-JW ( worldly ) person would bring up something in opposition to the lesson.

  Snickering from the congregation and an invitation for the commentor to speak with them after the lesson was the norm.

  The weekly WT "lesson" is cult indoctrination plain and simple.
  It's criminal.

  Can you even imagine a class action lawsuit against WT for human rights violations and religious abuse?

  When the courts find out they DF their children ( under 18 ) that have been sequestered from society and subjected to poorly prepared 'home-schooling' and left with no support and homeless, that might get some attention.

  They will wish it was just the pedophile lawsuits that are threatening their cash.

  This could be it!
