  The Serpent Ate the Fruit

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember in one of my bethel entrants school classes, the instructor commenting on the events that went down in genesis chapter 3 and commenting that one of the reasons why the serpent was so persuasive was because he "evidently" partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

  because he had taken such a course, he could persuasively convince eve to do the same.

  i can't remember what source material he used to support this assertion.

  Ripping Apart The Faithful & Discreet Slave Doctrine Slashes A Foundation

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in order to get to the core of the wts belief system, one must get to the foundation of all of its teachings.

  that basis is the belief that the fds gives, from jehovah god, all the "spiritual food at the proper time".

  if the "slave" gets all it's light" from jehovah god and jesus christ, the head of the congregation, why are their continued "refinements"?

  If the FDS doctrine was so important, why is it only mentioned in one scripture - ONE FREAKING SCRIPTURE? They've made a parable an official core doctrine. The FDS doctrine has been one of most talked about subjects in WTS literature, but is only mentioned once in the bible. Clear indication that the whole thing is BS.

  WT decision makers = hopelessly out of touch

  by watch the tower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i worked at the hq for a few years in the 90's and i've personally known and met several influential bethelites during my time there.

  these are brothers that have been there 20-30-40+ years and hold various degrees of authority within the org.

  looking back and thinking about these ppl, i can't help but comment how out of touch these people were.

  Hello WTT,

  I so agree with you. I was at the house around the same time you were and it was very telling how detached from reality many of the old timers were. While I enjoyed my convos with them and had a good rapport with many of them, they were delusional. The ones who weren't just grinned and beared it, because they realized that it was too late to leave and start over again on the outside.

  When I found out who authored various articles on education, prophecy, and other things that directly impact the everyday lives of witnesses, I actually lost my feeling of awe towards the org, because I realized how sheltered and unbalanced a lot of these men were.

  Quotes:

  UNBELIEVABLE!! My jaw is still on the floor. Anyway, I hope to God this goes to court because nothing good can come of it from the WTS end. Like other posters said they'll try intimidation and bully tactics so that this never hits the courtroom. I'm gonna send this around to a couple of news services that I'm familiar with. You will definitely need a pit-bull of an attorney. PLEASE let us know if there's anything that can be done to help out with this. Your site has helped me out immensely. I desperately want to see some egg in the WTS face......

  The end is 'just around the corner'!

  by nicolaou in

  2. beliefs

  we've all heard variations on that theme.

  how much of that expectancy is down to the society's publications?

  here are some of the results of a search run on the wt cd (2004 edition) for the phrase "just around the corner".. .

  It's something how the rank-and-file dubs get the blame for the Armageddon expectations when the BORG knows good and well they by way of their publications and talks on assembly programs created this firestorm of false expectation. What gave me a chuckle was hearing on a recent assembly program that we're in the "last of the last days."
