  Stupid "Bible" Prophecies The Watchtower & "Slave" Fed Us

  by minimus in

  bible writers must be rolling in their graves if they saw how their writings were taken apart and mangled by the "spirit directed organization".

  the watchtower prides itself in getting ones 'tasteful spiritual food, nutritional", even!

  what stupid understandings have the witnesses believed in over the years that show you they certainly do not have the "truth"?

  The society declaring that elders are picked by holy spirit, its more like holy sh*t! They can't stop trying to pat

  themselves on the back. They should have wrote the twist and sang it before Chubby Checker, because the

  way they can twist things is way beyond normal and amazes me.

  I remember when they started saying this. I always thought that the elders were getting jealous of all the attention given to the C.O. and D.O. so the society patronized them with some kind of special title of their own. How pathetic is that.

  That the trumpet blast in Revelation prophicied a series of conventions a small religious group called Jehovah's Witness would have almost 2,000 years later in a country that didn't exist.

  I never did beieve that one.

  It amazes me how self important the witnesses make themselves.

  Did you ever get any "Bad Advice" from Elders or Ministerial Servants?

  i remember once, an elder told me that i could become a full time pioneer.

  i was working 40 hours a week, and had a seasonal job 7 months a year.. the way he figured it out, i could work 8 hours during my day, then go to my meetings, and still find 3 or 4 hours to preach that same day...... i told him to go climb a tree.

  Let's see:

  To stop dating this wonderful girl: good thing I didn't because now she my wife and the most wonderful thing that has happened to me.

  To stop associating with my lifelong friends: That never happened.

  Not to get a pellet gun when I was a kid:

  Man, I can feel a cold chill go down my spine while reading this thread. Even after being out for 8 years. I absolutely hated field service. I used to get so nervous and cringed at the thought of talking to people. I remember getting nervouse days before field service. Funny thing is I'm a real people person. I have no problem getting up in front of an audience and tallking for a hour.

  Finish the sentence, "I'm not greedy, I'm....

  it seems the wtbts is gearing up to blame nearly every failure by congregation members on greediness.

  materialism is greed.

  addiction to pornography is greed.

  Gary,

  I thought about you all night. I can't imagine the pain you must be going through. Your young with a wife and kids, this should be the happiest time of your life. Instead the Watchtower Company is beating you into the ground and your family as well.

  Please for the sake of your children and your wife, get out of this mind control cult before it's too late. Take a break and spend some time with your family. Go on vacation and have some fun. Enjoy life for a change. I bet once you do you'll be able to quite taking the meds and have a much happier life. Life is too short to worry about what a bunch of old men in Brooklyn want. You can find your own way to worship God. A way that will make you and your family happy.

  I really don't think when God spoke about his "happy people" he was referring to them being on anti-depressants.

  I wish you all the best and hope everything works out.

  God's Organization.

  by Blueblades in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is evident that the only way any organization could be god's organization would be if god appointed it as such.

  jehovah's witnesses believe that the watchtower society received that appointment in the spring of 1919 in fulfillment of the most important scripture in watchtower theology---matthew 24:45-47.. on the watchtower's official website under the heading, 'what jehovah's witnesses believe" they list forty of their teachings.

  but their most important teaching, the only teaching that needs to be known------"the watchtower society is god's organization"---is not mentioned.. this from,"captives of a concept" page17.

  they are politicians... i truly believe that all "religions" are full of people trying to convince people to convert, or in retrospect, VOTE for them... the more that vote for them, the more powerful the man on top becomes... so they all try to use the sweetest scents and the nicest looking flowers to attract the most busy bees... its ridiculous... like i didnt have enough politicians in my life.. do i reallu need some to govern my mind, and not only the body and society??? NOPE!!!

  Abortion

  by Ellie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i don't know if any of you brits saw the 'this morning' show today but they had a woman on it whos mother had tried to abort her at 7 and a half months pregnant, apparentely they gave her mum some stuff to drink which burns the baby inside and out, but fortunately this baby survived and now as a woman she is campaigning for anti abortion laws to be brought in.. so, what are your views on abortion?

  I believe abortion is up to the women having the baby. She knows her body best and can decide on her own what needs to be done.

  My wife and I discuss this all the time. There are so many variables that each situation needs to be looked at. There is no right or wrong.

  For example: What if a 13 yr old girl is raped and becomes pregnant. Should she have to carry a rapist baby to term and then have her life greatly hindered by having to raise a child? Not to mention the physical danger of a 13 yr old having a baby.

  Just my $.02

  D'Fing and Love

  by I-CH-TH-U-S in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i once talked to a jw about disfellowshipping and was curious to how can this be showing a christly love when you all out turn your back on them.

  he gave me an answer about rightousness and unrightrousness having no fellowship (which is biblical) but it didnt make sense to me.

  didnt seem applicable in many ways.

  if you have a fish tank of water, and you put maybe 1-3 drops of red dye in, the whole thing becomes red, thus infecting the entire thing

  If they are going to use that theory then why do they allow non-witnesses to come to the meeting, associate with them, and even invite them to gatherings. Wouldn't a witness that has made a mistake, even a serious one, need all the support of the congregation. It's amazing how they will spend months of love bombing trying to get someone to become a witness but can disfellowship someone in a matter of weeks. Disfellowshipping someone is just like kids on a playground sticking their tongues out and saying "you can't play with us anymore".

  I have a friend that is disfellowshipped. He has a very successfull buisness and his family always shun him except when they need work of course. Him being the better christian gladly gives them work when they need it and even helps out the family with money. All while they are shunning him. I'm not sure if I could be as loving if my family did the same to me.

  Disfellowshipping is wrong!! And doesn't make much sense.
