  Spirit-Directed Organization

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is what the watchtower society claims (i can post quotes if anyone wants them):

  * jehovah does not directly communicate with anyone today.

  * jehovah is using the watchtower society and the faithful and discreet slave class as his only "channel of communication".

  It is spreading out of control. And its death rate is virtually 100 percent.

  Hahaha - So STUPID. Damn that pisses me off!

  This is what they say about HIV/AIDS. The human death rate is virtually 100 percent. Everybody dies.

  Lets see....would I rather die now of blood loss related to this horrible car accident or.....get a blood transfusion, live and have a tiny possibility of having a disease? Hmmmmm Let me think on that.....hmmmmm

  It's great that they're putting their garbage on the internet for "thinking people" to read.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all know the organization hasn't been shy about making predictions for what could happen in the future as far as the world and world conditions go.. now its your turn to state where the organization will be in 2 years, 5 years and 10 years.

  what will "conditions" be like?

  what are your hopes?

  I think they will come up with another date for BigA. They have ALWAYS had a date. How else will they get an increase in membership and an increase in SALES. People will get bored without it.

  How would you answer these questions?

  by closer2fine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a non-jw family member sent me an email asking these questions:1. what is the position of the jehovah witness belief regarding gays?

  if you associate with one, will you be disfellowshipped?2.

  when you go to church, do you call it a meeting at the hall or the kingdom hall?3.

  THe JW position is strictly missionary.

  Oh - wait - that wasn't your question. Jehovah hates the sin - not the sinner. As my dear mom said - Just because diabetics have a genetic flaw doesn't mean they can eat all the sugar they want.

  Whoever said I was "eating all the sugar I wanted??" Tehehe

  I just confronted a car full of dubs in the preaching work!

  by Atilla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep, just got back from getting my morning coffee and they were across the street from my house talking to a lady that i believe is turning into a return visit.

  i was frantically looking for the un letter, found it and then approached the car as they were just getting back in.

  the old dub guy totally denied any un involvement and went into the speal about why the un and before that league of nations was so bad.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ramzi yousef was the mastermind behind the major al qaeda attacks, including the first world trade center bombing, the cole bombing and others.

  he had plotted the deaths of president clinton, pope john paul ii and the prime minister of pakistan.

  he had hatched up a plan to destroy up to a dozen jumbo jets as they flew over american cities.

  Thanks for the great post Farkle - you have a brilliant mind!

  So do most muslims. God help us if there is ever a militant JW movement that decides to help Armageddon on it's way.

  My fear exactly - they would do just as they were told. You can imagine to WT article!

  MKR - Great point. I've thought about asking my mom if she would like for me to off myself so that I could be eligible for resurrection. I don't think she would get it...I hope not!

  Still scared!!

  by fleaman uk in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have completely moved away from the wt teachings,i know they are wrong and i will live to old age (hopefully!

  )and then die of old age...but every now and again ,i feel a terrifying sense of dread (truly terrifying ),that armageddon may just happen ,complete with strange planetary phenomena etc....oh well i guess thats the 30 years of constant,never ending doom and gloom,death and destruction starting from age 3.!..being an english chap,i tend to dismiss therapy etc,but im having second thoughts..... im probably not alone feeling like this?.

  ps apologies if this thread has been covered before..

  Fleaman - you are supposed to be scared because the JW's instilled an Armageddon Phobia in your mind! I read about that in Steven Hassan's book Releasing the Bonds. One of the ways mind control cults work is by instilling phobias - and it works. When 9/11 happened I had a JW flashback and that was like 15 years after I left. A few years after I left I was afraid of an apostate phone number line. But it does get better!

  If/When Armageddon happens - I think god will look at the JW's and ask them about their failed prophecies that they made in his name and sell from door to door in the WT/Awake magazines. I think he will say "Is that the message of love and salvation through Jesus that I asked you carry?"

  I think he will ask them about what happened in Malawi, in his name.

  I think he will certainly want to know about their "2 witness rule" that has harmed so many children. I think he will say, was that the LOVING thing to do?

  I think he will want to hear about the families that have been destroyed by their disfellowshipping doctrine - that is clearly unChristlike.

  I could go on and on. If you are still thinking that the JW's are the one true religion that will survive armageddon - maybe you could do some more research. Have you read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz? Are you aware that the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" story is a parable NOT a prophecy?

  I am sorry you are going through this. I have just shared some of the things that convince me that the only way the JW's will survive Armageddon is because of GRACE alone. It is truly disgusting that they do this to people - when Jesus just wanted us to LOVE each other.

  Hugs to you.
