  Why have there been so many people blind to the corruption of the Watchtower Corporation ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based from many of the doctrines the wts has come forth with since its existence as publishing house which were obviously incorrect or false and propagated doesn't make you wonder why there were so many who embraced this organization with full devotion and acceptance ?

  even back in the late 1800's there was scrutinizing skepticism to what the leaders of the wts theologically taught.

  millions of people since then have accepted the teachings of a really couple novice bible theologians, who brought forth many weakly supported doctrines such as and concerning that mankind was living in the end times and all of mankind should be prepared for its imminent destruction.. very view other christian based faiths from catholicism or protestantism have made these kind of outlandish doctrinal assertions and they make up an overwhelming greater amount of practicing theologians, to those who achieved a high a level of academic training in bible theory.

  my own observations and opinion ?---

  the cult appeals to the have-nots--who feel excluded from middle class mainstream religions. they really look forward to the death and destruction of those they would like to aspire to and are deeply jealous of.

  Calling All Who Were JWs Between 1967 and 1980

  hello jwn,.

  to introduce myself, i am still in the jws but learned ttatt some months ago.

  i now ask this question to get more info on a past teaching.. between 1967 and 1980 was when the 'current understanding' of the wts was that organ transplants were cannibalism, and thus abhorrent.

  so--whats the rule now ? i remember my jw dad saying--years ago--it was considered cannibalism.

  on my dads side--lots of the family have died through heart problems ( non of them dubs )--although dad lived to 94--he passed this january.

  one of my cousins had a heart and lung transplant a few years ago--hes doing well now ( never a dub ). it was a Papworth Hospital UK job.

  it really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.

  the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.

  the laughs forced.

  Very dark and confusing info...

  by sp74bb in

  some internal sources in jw.org has brought me attention to the following data:.

  - in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.

  - which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

  maybe a bit of money laundering ?

  that would be a nice rumour if it got spread around.

  The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.

  as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.

  now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

  i was a pioneer and a servant in the late 60's--married in '68.

  1975 was all we ever heard--and believed. by 71 i decided enough was enough--and was out.

  i remember visiting like minded friends in '76---and had a good laugh we were still alive !

  what a load of old baloney. i bet the watchtower just hopes it all goes away--along with russell--rutherturd--blood transfusions----all the old twaddle they used to peddle.

  so my 14 yr old son and i are sitting discussing the eu election vote, and joking around that the we could see a future with donald trump and boris johnson being the uk and us leaders.

  we were swapping pictures and jokes from facebook.. but his dad is sitting there waiting until we leave, and comes out with "well daniel 2.44" which reads.......... "and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.

  and the kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people.
