Is this new light or disposable light? JWs part of christiandom.

1. watchtower
2. bible
i listend to the watchtower study on the 2nd.

i think it may be what the comic industry calls a "one shot" and maybe an "else world" too.

when did "chistiandom" become basically lazy,inactive, unreachable, or undiscoverd jws.

Would you continue to be a JW if?
by XQsThaiPoes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
you knew what things the jws are wrong about, and did not praticipate in them, or propagate them (there would be no reprisal from the boe or other jws if you did this).

your family and friends would treat you the same if you were a jw or not.

i am wondering who would be compelled by some inner flame to leave jws even if you could stay and believe or behave how you wanted.

Is the Watchtower unintentintionally breeding "false" witnesses
by XQsThaiPoes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i noticed that at least in my area the jws are morraly corrupt.

now this is not traditional corruption where i bend the rules out of greed for power or money.

this is the total lack of moral judgement, or as the watchtower calls it "a bible trained conscience".

What makes a cult a "cult"?
by XQsThaiPoes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when does a high control group cross the line bettween being socially acceptable to being a "cult"?.

why do the marines or dod or cia earn special pleading to exempt them from being a "cult" when they seem to have most of the signs of being a cult.

is it simply the notion that theoretically they should be protecting our interest.

Are my parents apostate AKA Is WTS alienating babyboomer JWs via new light
by XQsThaiPoes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
me and my parents have been getting into fights about religion.

oddly the reason is i am enforcing the wts status quo on issues such as the new blood policy, the doctrine that all that die before big-a are ressurected, that jehovah does not want service motivated by scoldings or bribery, that each person should be free to make up their own mind on their own time, that you don't have to be baptized to survive big-a, that you are counted as a believer if you study, the only required meeting is the memorial, only the 144k have to preach, and that jwism is a belief and as long as you believe it you are a jw regardless of participation.

in one form or another these veiws have been posted in the watchtowers in the last few years.
