RED HERRING

by biblexaminer in

if you have the inclination, call the number and ask ..."is russia banning "reading the bible, singing and praying with fellow worshippers"??.

can you say red herring?.

maybe they should add "feeding your children is clearly not criminal, neither is helping an old woman cross the street".

Why the Russians are doing what the Russians are doing.

1) They forcibly deny persons freedom of speech.

2) They break up families and friendships through extreme shunning.

3) They enforce a self-contradictory policy concerning blood therapies, causing DEATH.

4) They demonize whistleblowers for telling the truth.

5) They use methods of communication within the WTBTS organization to avoid State policing according to Yarovaya’s Law

6) They tell untruth in the extreme concerning the WTBTS organization's history, to keep people in their icy grip.

7) They blatantly discourage education beyond what is necessary for bare existence.

8) They manipulate members to divest their valuables into the coffers of the WTBTS.

Why, exactly, does the WATCHTOWER have a picture of a church in there?

AhA! They are appealing to the mentally weak. They try to make people believe that Russia is shutting down the churches!

Not one "church" is being affected ... 0% churches.

It's 100% KINGDUMB HULLS. Why not put a picture of a KINGDUMB HULL there??

Sure, it's got nothing to do with it, but it will motivate the blind.

“Reading the Bible, singing, and praying with fellow worshippers is clearly not criminal,” adds Mr. Semonian. “We hope that our global letter-writing campaign will motivate Russian officials to stop this unjustifiable action against our fellow worshippers.”

"Forced" study with an Elder - The first question i will pose, help appreciated.

by CitizenofEarth in

hello folks.

as some of you might know my dad couldnt keep quiet about my view of the world, so i have been "forced" to study with an elder.

otherwise i would be dragged to questioning, which is to much pressure for a young inexperienced person like me.

biblexaminer

If you are financially dependent on your folks, then you are stuck. Watchtower makes good use of economic pressure. Once a youth is able to fend for themselves, true freedom follows.

But if you want to talk, then the chief thing that you will be faced with is the blood doctrine and the outsiders who will question you on this topic. This is the most powerful topic, and the fact that it is so controversial means that you have a valid excuse to bring it up. Outsiders will inquire from you an answer.

"My teacher asked me how it is that we can't participate in the blood drive because blood must be 'poured out' according to our beliefs, but at the same time we are allowed to have blood fractions which are produced with donated blood from these same drives?"

No way out for the elder.

But understand first that you start a war with this. You nail them to the wall, and on every nail is written the word hypocrite.

You don't want a war? Then refer back to the first sentence.

Scriptures that now have such a different meaning?!

by stuckinarut2 in

it struck me that so many of the scriptures that the society uses to condemn others, can actually apply to them!.

when we read them without the application that the society enforces, they can make you have that "ah-ha!

" moment.... for instance, how about:.

biblexaminer

The most important chapter. Matthew 24...

Jesus did NOT give a "composite sign". Instead, he gave an ANTI-SIGN.

Jesus warned not to listen to doomsayers of the first century. Earthquake and war were meaningless.

Mt. 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

:: In the first century, to compare something to "birth pains" meant that the thing compared was a non-event. The birth was the anticipated event, not the cramps. This is in harmony with the context. Jesus didn't want his followers to panic and flee Jerusalem prematurely.

The foundation for Watchtower's chief doctrine is demonic.

"Overlapping Generation" is a "Spiritual Generation" - a letter to the governing body

by jwleaks in

11 march 2017. dear governing body of jehovah's witnesses,.

could you please introduce the phrase "spiritual generation" to replace the phrase "overlapping generation".

it would save us all a lot of confusion.. an online search of your publications dating back to 2000 showed that this term has never been used.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/s/r1/lp-e?q="spiritual+generation"&p=par.

biblexaminer

It doesn't even matter anymore. The Goblin Brothers don't even have to make sense.

Just fill the page with words and end it with "this is how it is now"...

ANYTHING can be taught to the dub population at this point. All the have to do is speak it and then remind everyone of Matthew 24

Jehovah will clean his house first...

by tor1500 in

jw
friends

with all the stuff going on in the org.

that is not being said, many of the friends say, well, jehovah will clean his house first....with all this religious hiding of child abuse...what denomination was exposed/cleaned first...although they were forced they were exposed and many still go to these places of worship.

so are the jw really god's chosen channel.

biblexaminer

I think clarification is in order.

It is incorrect to say "Jehovah will clean up his house first..."

It would be correct to say, instead, that "Jesus will clean up the Jehovahz houses"

In other words, when Jesus comes, He'll clean it up all right, with fire.

Their lamps are going out.

by biblexaminer in

everyone here has read mt.

25 and knows the illustration of the virgins with the lamps.

i have mentioned this illustration in conversation with several dubbies, to draw attention to their foolishness in following watchtower's false reasoning.. in the illustration, there are two kinds of virgins, or people.

biblexaminer

Just heard that there's going to be some chopping of elders in our congo. Lights are dimming.

One is very old. His lamp has no problem financially, as he was 'up there' in the wage area in 'Satan's world' due to getting education and a good position in a booming business years ago, before the Watchtower was so diligent in snuffing out lamps.

Another elder that looks slated for the heap just moved here to serve blah blah blah, and they heaped the work on him. He is stretched financially. He had big dreams.

Funny thing when you live your life like a foolish virgin, you fall down a lot more in the dark.
