Isiah 65:17 (Memory wipe?)

by pleaseresearch in

“for behold, i create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.. i need some help with this please guys and gals.

what is this implying?

god will wipe those past memories, the past system of things from our minds?

Well the jw’s have an explanation for that (of course). They say that in using the expression ‘not called to mind’ its denotes not that we would have forgotten but that things are so good we no longer dwell on the past pains. It makes a certain amount of sense. As humans we make it through tough times and remember things as “the good old days” even when the old days wernt that good.

It dosent make humans anything more than pawns, mind you, but that particular scrupture is pretty easy to explain.

Positive Topic - ‘Good Elders’ or Extra Special Kindness shown by elders

by Farmer Jim1 in

jw
friends

after the last topic getting me mad, does anyone have a positive experience of dealing with an elder or a particular favourite elder that was a top bloke?.

_Morpheus

Its a tough call, honestly. Id like to think i was a good guy as an elder, always tried to be understanding and helpful, and id bet that every former cult middle manager on this forum would say the same... but in the end we were cult middle managers and ultimately were applying cult rules. No matter how cool we tried to be we were still cult middle managers.

The “cool” part was the human in us, not the elder.

the watchtower is starting to crumble

for the december monthly broadcast instead of jws from around the world waving to you and items of how to shun people we will have to make do with repeats of of old gilead videos that have been on the jw website for a good while.

Yep. They have done everything the right way to hide and never have a need to reveal their money situation. This is not an accident.

Forensic fincial investigators are good at what they do.. but until someone does and we see the results we have zero evidance, dispite what some people try to sell on the forum.

I would LOVE the org to have to release their finicals. It would give great fodder and real insight for discussion on the orgs future.

Lemme know if that fantasy ever happens

Have you ever thought what the primary teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses is?

by Half banana in

it is not “preach the good news” nor is it “believe in jesus and get saved” neither is it “believe in the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses and get saved” although in practice they do teach this.

no, everything they claim depends on a belief in another doctrine which logic decrees cannot be found in the bible.

the leadership of jehovah’s witnesses put absolute faith in a protestant doctrine which is given a latin name, sola scriptura, meaning “by scripture alone”.. good evidence of the governing body believing in the primacy of this doctrine was when being questioned by the australian royal commission, they resorted to the ‘authority’ of scripture to defend their stance on having “two witnesses” when they are investigating child abuse cases.throughout the hearing they paraded their naive trust in the bible as the highest possible authority proudly ignoring the fact that most people regard it as having been superseded by modern scientific evaluations of what is true.. .

Lol i can condense it even more:

“listen, obey and be blessed”.

The watchtower does not have the resources

by pepperheart in

if you have a look at the december broadcast on jw tv they tell you that they wont be showing you a normal format for december but the 143rd event of gilead because the watchtower does not have the resources other wise to translate it many different lanuages.. with all the cuts the watchtower have made and are going to make you would have thought that they would have lots of resources.

_Morpheus

There is a lot of argument to support ending shunning but they will NEVER do so. Power corrupts and without shunning they have no power. Feels like ive said before, recently...... hmmm...
