  Steve Hassan's books

  by tornapart in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at the moment i can't get these books, they are not available as ebooks and i can't risk having them in the house.

  but i have heard so much about them and how helpful they are that i am just wondering if any who have read them can give some insights they have gained from them that would be useful to know.

  thanks in advance.

  Talk about idolatry. It just continues to get worse.

  Is not Judicial Committees directly against Matthew 7?

  by runForever in

  2. beliefs

  i was just doing a little research in this where it says "do not be judging.

  " in matthew.. it looks like the connotation here is not judging if someone is doing right or wrong but judging the person themselves in a certain way.. such as reviewing all their actions and nitpicking them down.

  reducing people down to what they do and then pronouncing a judgement upon them.. over and over again.. .

  The Judicial Committee is not found in the N.T to my knowledge ??

  Yeah, I don't believe it's scriptural. I'll be researching to confirm but I'm pretty certain it's not.

  This religion is about to be toast.

  the governing body is preparing to take a major hit.

  this recent watchtower shows it.

  not the new understandings, but the article on marriage.

  I agree that they will survive unless the government starts investigating their pattern of child abuse, their tax exempt status, and their violation of UN human rights.

  Noting the aforemention points, they are coming down hard on the younger generation trying to indoctrinate them as early as possible. The younger the mind, the easier it is to mold. The hell with what the Bible says, just as long as they are able to be indoctrinated (mind controlled), baptized (enslaved), good member (trapped).

  They love to have entire families join so the bond is that much tighter and by the time they try to leave, too much to lose.

  Has anyone ever attempted to study with the witnesses....

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ....using a pseudonym never actually meeting them perhaps by internet, phone, letter, or email?.

  i feel like doing this and asking direct questions but nothing that would arouse suspicion.

  the newest jw video advocates this option.. this would be a good experiment in an effort to get into the thinking mind of how different witnesses approach a study and if i'm lucky i may get either an elder or ms.. thoughts?.

  Blondie, on a personal note, thank you for taking the time to research and posting vital information that without a doubt, helps people start thinking critically and objectively.

  This man sexually molested the innocent over a period of 17 years and serving as an Elder?

  How was this possible in Jehovah's spirit-directed organization? Oh wait! It's not his organization!!!!

  Glaring discrepency in Blood Doctrine

  by kjg132 in

  2. beliefs

  i found an article on the dr. sears website about the benefits of breasfeeding.

  according to the article it says: "a drop of breastmilk contains about one million white blood cells.

  " it also says "colostrum also contains higher amounts of white blood cells..........than mature milk.

  I second Aroq. The Bible doesn't make a distinction of what parts of the blood can be transfused.

  The WTS would like to have it both ways. Soon they will change the doctrine and the GB will attribute it to Jehovah's chariot moving along.

  Sorry pieces of horse manure.

  TROUBLED MAN EXPOSES ELDERS CULT MENTALITY IN DOVER UK

  by raymond frantz in

  troubled man exposes elders cult mentality in dover uk.

  (watch the video till the end).

  breaking in to kingdom halls and disturbing peaceful meetings is hardly the way to go when it comes to positive activism .nevertheless these incidents seem to become more frequent recently as the watchtower vehemently refuses to engage in a meaningful way with the problems of policy and doctrine that seem to trouble many jehovahs witnesses .that, coupled with the ever extending ex- jehovahs witnesses community and their harsh disfellowshiping practises is creating a new era where disturbances of that short will only become more frequent.

  It's hard to watch this video. I truly feel the pain of this man. I can identify myself with him and so can the majority of you guys. Man, its heart breaking.

  It's completely obvious this man believes in Christ and Jehovah and is all but screaming for help.

  Picture this Biblical scenario:

  Leon hears from the townspeople and relatives that the man they call the Christ is coming into town sometime today. He can't help but get excited so he prepares himself and then he waits. There over a hill he starts to see a large crowd of people and as the minutes go by he starts to hear the commotion of the crowd. Now the crowd is ever closer and finally he is able to see the Christ surrounded by what seems to be a wall of men. Leon acts quickly and jumps up and runs towards the center of town. There he encounters more people waiting to speak or catch a glimpse of this man they have heard wonderful things about. Leon somehow manages to only get to within 25 feet from where the procession will be walking by. The time has come and Leon is determined to speak with Jesus. Seeing Jesus being mobbed, Leon kneels down and rushes toward Jesus in a fervent attempt to reach him. Indeed he does. Then he says:

  Have mercy on me my Lord! See that I'm a man who has lost his family to false teachings of the Pharisees. Please help me! The Pharisees are extreme and rigid in their interpretation of the Law. Please have mercy on me and my family my Lord! I beg of you, have mercy and save us from these hypocrites!

  Being able to discern the man's sincerity, Jesus embraces him and tenderly touches Leon's head and blesses him allowing an overwhelming sense of peace and calm to come over Leon. At this, Leon rises and embraces Jesus like a Father does at which Jesus says, "Go Leon, you now have peace, you now have love, let your family now embrace you for I have made it so."
