"do not go beyond the things written"

by stuckinarut2 in

thanks to bu2b and splash who mentioned this quote in another thread!.

but i thought it deserved a thread all of its own, such is the impact of this:.

the very best example of going beyond the things written comes from a 2008 watchtower.

for decades, i slaved for wts, mentally, emotionally, financially, familially, socially, educationally.. at times, when i was the only one caring for the maintenance needs of the local kh, and being discouraged at the "sacrifices" being contributed to the borg, my spouse would say: "jehovah sees what you are doing.".

and yet, later, my spouse turned on me, turning instead to "jehovah's elders" and totally threw me under the bus.. paul, allegedly, said in hebrews: "for god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.".

i feel nothing of the sort.. does anyone feel similarly?.

Yes, but you must remember to these people:

God = The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses

The moment you abandon the GB, the moment you abandoned God....not to mention the reality is their god, is a tyrannical group of men.....of course they forgot your works as soon as you finished them!

Definitely a Cult.

well, it's been a long while since i last visited here.

i've been doing this and that...you know....lugubrious life and all.. i am interested in collating views from all types of people about jws, albeit non jws, ex jws....anyone associated with jws who wants to share their viewpoint.

later on i'd like to self publish these collected interviews but cannot offer any money as the project is more about giving people an opportunity to speak, help, whatever, rather than make a best seller.

Why is this scripture blank in some bibles and not in others? It is blank in the JW bible, too.

This scripture blatantly shows the mistranslation of John 3:16 by the dubbies. Here the eunuch qualifies for baptism simply by making an expression of faith in Jesus. The Witnesses believes that one must "exercise faith" in order to gain salvation. Thus a works-based salvation is endorsed by the WTS, whereas scripture indicates the need for a faith-based salvation. Not to mention the availability of various scrolls from which to initiate a translation of scripture. Therefore, if you were a cult and needed to create a perverted translation which agrees with your doctrine.....when there is an opportunity to omit a scripture-citing some discrepancy in the source material-you would as well.

But the GB is the Faithful slave. Not only that....they're also DISCREET......somehow they indiscreetly forgot their "masters" advice.

Interesting conversation with this pentecostal today at work. It made me think.

by joe134cd in

at work today a colleague was telling me how his church had purchased a van for the sole purpose of caring for their youth.

he was saying every friday / saturday night the church organizes some event for its youth outside it's church services.

they also have other services to that are provided free of charge for its members.

This is very much the case. Interesting thread, this is to be expected now that I take a step back from the cult mindset. Once you accept that the WT isn't a religion, but a cultic publishing company, you no longer expect to see some of the better aspects of religion within its dealings. Love and compasion go out the window.

Welcome to the Forum, you will find that the only people who apostatize are the ones that really valued knowledge and research. My story, as those of many others is very similar to yours; welcome the forum!
