  will soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.

  i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.

  so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

  I've always wondered how Jesus could be so forgiving, so loving, so comforting, although he did say some things that were questionably mean (pearls before swine) and yet, Jehovah allowed rape, killing of children, and Paul would be unloving by isolating people from their own families which equates to mental anguish and abuse.

  Hypothetical Question...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.

  so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?

  is it even possible?

  The members have been physiologically conditioned enough to were the Society, I believe at times, has purposely said or printed material that borders on insanity just to check how well their level of 'training' has been accepted by the members.

  When the Society needs to pump up the members they'll start to throw out phrases like:

  "Will this Memorial be our last?" - KM 3/14/14

  "We are living in that season, the last days." - Watchtower 2014 1/15

  "....we have before our very eyes this series of happenings of world-shaking magnitude, testifying that we are living in the last days!" - Watchtower 1950 2/1

  "The last days of this wicked, abominable world are upon us, and we shall see the final end during this generation." - Watchtower 1950 3/15

  These are just some "gems" that I was able to dig up.

  Garrett, keep moving forward and don't look back.

  Just as this community helped you, you likewise, have helped those that needed help.

  We are fortunate to have your contribution on this board.

  I pray for you and the people in Paris. We mourn over the senseless killings perpetrated by this terrorist group.

  Never Bring a Knife to a Drone Fight

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  apparently, it's good news, everybody - mohammed emwazi (aka jihadi john) has been targeted by a us drone strike.

  the location was in raqqa, syria, a few yards from isis hq, near a clock tower where crucifixions are carried out.

  there are conflicting reports, some say he died instantly at 11:40pm yesterday, others say that he was badly injured and taken to a nearby hospital.. from what i've previously read about emwazi, he was apparently terrified of being targeted by drones - yesterday it seems his nightmare was made reality.

  This guy actually believed he could spit in the face of the ENTIRE U.S. intelligence community and get away with it.

  He was just asking for it.

  A famous boxer now retired used to say to his opponents, "one thing is to call out the devil, another matter is facing him."

  Make your predictions!

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  They are getting desperate that's for sure. Counting a link as a placement?

  Is that any different than telling someone at the door where to go online to get more information? Or is that a placement?

  Things are going downhill fast next thing you know people showing even a slight positive acknowledgement such as a nod or handshake will be counted as studies or even associating with them.

  Honestly speaking, I see a major event perhaps through a series of events that collectively make up a drastic change for policies within the next 5 years. This could potentially include inciting and working up the members to another specific or decade date. They have to do something to stop the hemorrhaging of members fading, leaving, resigning, and being kicked out.
