Not quite getting there yet. I recall one of the WT study's had an article that mentions about those who express doubts and voice them by saying that the end will not come in their lifetime.

I am looking over the articles now.

Shunning and apostacy

by biblexaminer in

hey folks.

i have been looking for the latest on shunning of those who have drifted.

i recall the 2016 convention had a part, and i believe there was a video.

Thanks everyone so far. I was actually thinking of the Watchtower study we had late 2016 that talked about individuals in the Congo that say "the end will not come in my lifetime".

Dont make me go and read all them damned rags.

I recall the 2016 convention had a part, and I believe there was a video. As well, there was a WT study last year that talked about they who say "it's not coming in my lifetime" as being pretty well apostate.

Help one, help all. Thanks

Elders getting burnt up.

by biblexaminer in

the elders in this area are getting burned out.

i have overheard comments that demonstrate this, but in my dealings with them, i clearly see it.

they can't keep it straight.

A lot of good comments here. Since I posted this, I have had contact with a bro who was an elder here but who now doesn't even attend meetings. He totally bummed out.

But ultimately, he is still hooked on Watchtower. WT has been his god and WT will continue to be his god.

Only now, he wants to complain about his god... while it's still his god.

Dose Wt really have that much cash.

by joe134cd in

i realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.

so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.

for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

Wait till those who work at WARwhack start getting sick from the contaminants leeching up through the ground left from the nickel mine.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

by stuckinarut2 in

it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

Jehovah's Witnesses are safe inside their spiritual paradise gated community.

Brother Zombie is here seen communicating with a reporter.

Brothers and sisters behind chime in with "NO INFORMATION... NO INFORMATION TAKE IT AWAY... AWAY"

Never mind that JWs are, as some said above 'scared of doing research outside JW literature', they are indeed scared of doing research WITHIN JW literature. A simple thing as opening their eyes to what is on the page in front of them is made impossible. Look for example at a 'very important' chapter of the "Kingdom Book" now being studied (I use that term loosely) at the weekly meeting. Chapter 2, paragraph 29 versus paragraph 33. They both cannot be true.

It's less painful to bang your head against a rock than to make a JW see what's on the page.

Lies, and more lies.

by biblexaminer in

i have seen some discussions related to the "kingdom" book, and the recent studies, but, i didn't see the one pertaining to the second chapter of the "kingdom" book.

i may have missed it.

if i have ...mea culpa.. chapter 2, paragraph 29 & 33.

slimboy. I imagine that if WW1 didn't break out in 1914, Jehovah's Witnesses would not exist.
