  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

  i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

  i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

  So what does helping someone with social services like food, shelter, money,

  Lol your delusional and a liar. The organization of jehovahs witnesses in no way shape or form provides the social services you enumerate.

  Bethelites Vow Of Poverty

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.

  it reads rather culty.

  i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.

  Generally i agree. Specifically there is level coercion that you conviently ignore, doubter. To be an inactive witness, let alone df’d, is a huge deal for family and friends. You dont have to admit it. Hust try and live it and then tell me your “free” to choose. You are, without a doubt. You can certainly choose not to be a jw.

  Its just not “free”.

  Well the celebacy aspect isnt a legal requirement, but legally they are viewed exactly as monks. Members of special religious order who have taken a vow of poverty and obedience.

  If anyone “dislikes” that, take it up with the org. They are ones who designated bethelites as such, not I.

  It's worded as if they are in a monastic order! Why

  That is precisely what they are.

  has god preserved his word today?

  many people attack, doubt and fault god's word.

  yet god has made several promises in his word.he promised to preserve his word unto every generation,he promised that every word would be truth,he promised that we can rely and depend on his every word.satan wants nothing more than to dismiss, and cast doubt on god's word... so the question today is... do we have god's preserved word today?

  If he tried to preserve his word he did a terrible job. He couldnt even keep his name in it.

  Humans only survive for 3-5 days without water...

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and yet today's watchtower and indeed the bible condemns the israelites for moaning about having no water!

  it's never occurred to me how unjust this is!

  and how could a so called loving god not provide a basic human need?!.

  It took a lot of work on God's part to secure their release. Even then, it was not enough.

  You. Are. An idiot. You denigrate the creator of heaven of and earth by suggesting that it took work for him to free his people? He can create the universe not free his people? Your a fool and blaspheming one at that.
