  WTS On Manipulation Of Information - A Study In Hypocrisy

  by hillary_step in

  what to see some hypocrisy wts style?

  a cursory examination of its literature yields a rich harvest of cloaked entendre, suggestive conditioning and plain bigotry.

  for example this little gem from the awake!

  2. friends

  what i mean is according to the society, there are a number of persons that are "technically" "inactive" yet are viewed as jws still.

  i'm sure that i'm viewed as a witness still because i am not df'd or disassociated.....what about you??

  Were You Treated With Respect When Counseled By The Elders?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew a certain few elders that really got off by "talking down" to the "flock".

  many elders were pretty nice guys but a few could turn----just like that!

  what was your experience with "those taking the lead", the "loving shepherds"???

  The UN Debacle

  by betty boop in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now i have been reading about the wts association with the un and trying to gain a better perspective to what happened.

  im a little confused as to what their wrong doing was really?

  i can understand its hypocritcal for them to associate with a political organization but they claim it was just for research purposes and if thats the case what other option did they have?

  Elder tells me that Governing Body moved to Walkill to escape terrorism

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking to an elder the other day, and he told me that the governing body had all moved to walkill to because jehovah wouldn't let them be destroyed.. but, i thought, weren't some of the gb in walkill anyway?

  and if this is the case, why would they build that massive residential complex in the dumbo area?

  are bethelites expendable if a terrorist attack did happen?.

  July 15 Watchtower article on Blood

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the 7/15 wt i dont recall the exact page, i dont have the magazine here at work but there is a chart that lists blood, what components are up to you and which ones are not allowed at all.

  anyway its very odd because they list which ones christians should avoid from left to right, i.e.

  red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, etc.

  July WT. Contradicts Itself Regarding "Unbelievers"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading the july wt.

  at my mother's yesterday and the qfr asked about who should and shouldn't be viewed as an "unbeliever".

  if a person was attending meetings and might even be an "unbaptized publisher" they should not be considered an "unbeliever".
