Who Is Engineering the Re-branding of Jehovahs Witnesses

by millie210 in

is it an outside source?.

an inside job?

maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.

Village Idiot

I have nothing verifiable but I'm sure that it is a 'worldly' PR agency. The Governing Body simply do not have the imagination to come up with these things.

For instance, members of the GB were using humor in their assembly talks. I doubt they thought of that themselves, quite the contrary they must feel embarrassed, especially the ones that are no good at it, but go long with it. And their subordinate 'helpers' convincing them to crack jokes and get the GB to actually go along with it? No way.

Too many things are happening all at once. It's a well thought out and organized plan. It's outside help I'm sure.

And if the literature cart goes apostate what would it display? Crisis of Conscience, In Search of Christian Freedom, The Gentile Times Reconsidered etc.

And where would it display them. You guessed it, right in front of the Kingdom Hall.

I wonder what songs would it sing.

Just talked to Witnesses at my door for Hour about Watchtower Child Abuse

by flipper in

it happened again like in july when i talked to an elder and his wife about child abuse, but this time i got a hold of rank and file members who fortunately i was able to play like a fiddle as they had no idea what they were up against here.

so brother middle age ex-hippie convert ( as he told me later ) and sister middle age hair in a bun offered me the awake on death or our view of death.

i graciously accepted gaining their trust saying yes, i had close loved ones who had died over the years but didn't know if i believed in a resurrection or hereafter.

Village Idiot

I'm surprised they lasted there for an hour and actually listened to you. Good for you, you were well prepared.

Gorby, Is your family 'in'. If so are any of them mentally out? Are you still going to the meetings?

The best reasonable, rational, intelligent discussion on religion I've ever seen

I personally believe that some people are neurologically predisposed to believing in something, anything transcendent. The religion may be false but it is the product of men who want to understand the mysteries of the Cosmos - and fail.

I believe that we should redirect that predisposition into more valid and useful pursuits like understanding science and showing reverence to the (godless) Universe. The Universe is divine, it is sacred. It may not give a damn about us but it is all we have.

As Carl Sagan once said, "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself". He was a deeply spiritual man whose atheistic reverence for the Universe came out in his Cosmos series. Well worth the watch.

I miss Carl Sagan.

PS: Thanks for the video Terry.
