I have peered into the abyss and seen the Watchtower evil !

by Undaunted Danny in

i have peered into the abyss and seen the evil.

the jehovah's witnesses are diabolical disciples of satan.they do eat their young and have murdered more innocents than the global terrorists .

we have tackled a wide range of topics here,such as wrecked family's and marriages,and their blasphemous gospel of gobbledygook.

I think it is the desire for most of us to move on past the WT experience, but for any who have been involved with it, there will always be remnants of the WT that continues to haunt our lives. It is especially true for those who were a part of it for many years--and in Danny's case it has been generations...I was in for 20 years and I can attest to the fact that there have been many deaths. Not only physical ones, but mental and emotional deaths too along with the deaths of many hopes and dreams. Some have sacrificed their time, their money, their families, etc etc, etc...all for the cause, which they assumed was a noble one, but then to realize it was for nothing--the whole thing being a scam and a racket in the end.

T he surreal horror for me was to wake up and see all the destruction this religion has caused in people's lives and to realize I was involved in promoting it to others. I apologize to the world for this...

what really jumps at you is the lack of TRUE compassion for the victims. This is the real witness for the public!

AMEN!

Baptismal Pool

by Sunspot in

the other day i received an email from a man in croatia, who sent me and someone else a copy of a picture from a wts magazine.

i wasn't quite sure about the contents, but it looked to be legitimate----but being in croatian i was not sure of what it actually said and i ended up putting it aside intending to check it out (if possible) and then forgetting all about it.

he had also sent this to another person, who went to the trouble of verifying the facts and getting an understanding of what was being said in the picture.

Aloha Brenda,

I too feel for these people in 3rd world countries who have to make due with whatever resources they have to survive. But baptisms are organized events and under the direction of those who are supposedly in the know. The people in this picture were trained and educated by those ones who knew the WT doctrine and the baptism would also be under the direction of those in the "know." These ones getting baptised probably didn't know the whole story--who knows what version of it is told in less educated lands--but the rules they would have to agree to follow would be the same in order to have that "unity of worship and oneness" that the Org claims the JW have. I recently saw a picture of some magazines from an African land. The pictures are different and picture the people who are native to that land. I wonder if the message is different in some ways too...

My God--What kind of idiots are these people? Despite the fact that this is morally wrong--don't they know this will be negative publicity for the JW Org? Whatever happened to doing all things for God's glory and not doing anything to bring reproach upon his name? The most decent thing to do is to compensate these victims and apologize for their abuse--that would at least show some decency. They aren't showing one ounce of compassion by pulling something like this. But I suppose then it would appear as if the Org did something wrong and they would never want to admit to that.

2004 Annual Letter (United States)

quoted from our kingdom ministry september 2004:.

dear kingdom publishers:.

we rejoice to announce that, with jehovah?s blessing, the new presses and bindery at wallkill are now in operation.

Hundreds of skilled workers from Regional Building Committees across the country are ?offering themselves willingly? in response to a special invitation to assist in this effort.

What this really says is that we are commending those who come to slave for us for free and trying to motivate others by guilt to do so also (or make them feel as if they are especially privledged to be doing so by their special invitation offering). They are obviously in need of more skilled workers to continue to build their money making empire.

Consider also whether choosing to get a tattoo would enhance or undermine your claim of being a Christian. Could it be a "cause for stumbling" others? (2 Corinthians 6:3) True, some youths have had their tattoos placed on hidden areas of the body. Even their parents may not know about these secret tattoos. But beware! An emergency trip to the doctor or simply taking a shower at school could make your secret common knowledge! Better it is to "conduct ourselves honestly in all things," avoiding foolish deception.?Hebrews 13:18.

Well, here's the WT article just posted on another thread about being stumbled by a tatoo...Again, relate this one to UN logo on the pool. Is a hidden tatoo more cause for stumbling than a UN logo on a baptismal pool? According to the WT it is--they didn't even hide it in their photo.

Wacky Watchtower quotes for Lurkers

by gumby in

so dubbies.......do you really believe your dedication is to jehovah .....or to the society?.

...the witnesses are dedicated to god not to any legal agency.... .

...the legal corporation and "the faithful and discreet slave" are not interchangeable terms.

As with a cow, when a young girl who has reached her puberty is in physical condition to conceive and become pregnant, her sex emotions are greatly aroused. WT Dec 15, 1961

This article was posted not too long ago, but it has stuck with me. This whole article is wacky and rather perverse.

The rulers of the earth?should have acknowledged the King immediately and rendered him full obedience.

I agree lurk this is a strange thought. What does the WT mean? Does this mean in when Jesus took power 1914 According to the WT) that all should have obeyed the WT or the annointed ones who were his mediators? Were these annointing ones expecting to be ruling the whole world? That is a chilling thought. Imagine department stores full of JW wear? The only music to be heard throughout the land was Kingdom melodies? But worst than that--the WT could practice the laws the nations don't allow them too. The old laws of stoning for instance--they seem to express regrets at times that they can't completing practice WT laws because of the laws of the land.

My first thought when reading excerpts from this article was how mind numbing it was. I am sure it was a comatose morning for all who were at the KH. I even felt myself sinking at the thought of being there--makes my stomach turn. I can only guess what the underlying message is to some of this material. I think the above quoted sentence stands out as a warning point to JWs. The nations should have obeyed, but wickedly they did not, but we as "good JWs" are totally obedient to the WT Org leaders, who are our rulers and mediators between us and Jesus.

thanks blondie...

I don't mean this sarcastically, but I see this as one more slimy action that the WTS thinks they are putting over on the JWs.....and it irritates the hell out of me.

I have to agree with Annie on this one. All I have to do is to think about all those years we were counceled on not stumbling anyone with things that could be a cause for stumbling Don't hang up windchimes, don't burn insense, destroy a hundred year old inheritance from you Grandma if it has a tiny cross on it. Men don't wear a bit of hair on your chin. Men don't wear patterned shirts to the meetings. Children burn your carebears because they have idolatrus symbols on them....and the list goes on and on--all of things things were thought of as being causes for stumbling. They could have covered over these symbols if they wanted to, but they didn't, because they were using them to shmooze their sworn enemy. Look at the picture above of the woman riding the wild beast...remember what the WT said about the UN? Look at the picture of the baptismal pool again--think about it...

How many of you are feeling stumbled right now?

And doesn't it seem just a little strange that they put the picture in the Watchtower knowing that in order to be a member in good standing they must follow the principles of the UN. I wonder if this is one of the copies that the WTBTS used to send to the UN to show them that they are promoting the UN?
My though exactly. Yes, there is something very wrong with this picture. What if there was a 4 leafed clover or a cross on the pool? I was counceled (my a sister for making my daughter a dress with hearts on it). But the UN logo? Seems like this would be the ultimant symbol of idolatry for the WT with the way they have always viewed the UN in the past. It is still too clear in my mind the teachings by the WT about the UN being the most disgusting idolatrus organization on earth (being that they had put themselves in the place of God.) Wow...
