  Loyalty or nah?

  by tamagotchi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm currently still in, just recently i've noticed a new face on the jw social scene, this person is still very much a study they are sociable and very likeable.

  but this person is far from trustworthy and is rather manipulative already causing small divisions climbing the social ladder trying to gain favour with certain people.

  i find it funny that the organisation prides itself on its loyalty towards one another given its many examples published in the watchtower but yet things like this happen.. it make me think how can a study who isn't baptised in the name of the governing body, cause so much trouble among 'brothers and sisters'.

  tamagotchi: 

  "Makes you think if the great tribulation strikes how many will truly stick with one another and not perform a Judas and how easy will it be for someone with bad intentions to infiltrate and cause massive damage within the organization." 

  Welcome to the forum tamagotchi.

  As far as loyalty is concerned you're right in suggesting that the Witnesses will throw each other under the bus. And the organization would do the same thing to its members. You can tell this by the pettiness of the brothers and sisters which is a reflection of their leadership.

  only have a few minutes to spare so thought i would throw this together.. been in for about 30 years.

  questions and doubts gathered over that time.

  i have a keen interest in the legal and financial matters of the watchtower.. came across this site about 5 years ago.

  Welcome OzGirl.

  Just out of curiosity, where you born in? Are you still attending meetings?

  No such thing as history

  by woodforde in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why do you think it is that wts limit accessibility to watchtowers and awakes to only issues since year 2000 on jworg?

  a whiff of something slightly orwellian?

  not a case of re-writing history but nixing it altogether?

  TheOldHippie: "They are all there, on the CD-Rom."

  What do you mean all there? Do the Watchtowers on the CD go back to the 1870s?

  Can the world condition be worse than this?

  by abiather in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.

  attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.

  now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..

  Bad as that situation is I have to say yes, the world can get worse. You can have a nuclear war; you can have the entire world turn into Somalia.

  This is a test using Google Chrome.

  Still doesn't work for me. The font neither gets larger or smaller. When I scroll the wheel the text gets larger but it has no effect on the font size.

  I assume that in 'liberal' countries blasphemy laws would apply to someone making an extreme statement. Something publicly stated like saying:

  "I wipe my filthy diarrhea stained a$$ on the beard of the demon god who wrote Deuteronomy 25:11-12".

  HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".

  in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".

  so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

  God tickles their brain cells. Or maybe it's the angels that do that under God's command.
