  Who is really superior?

  by mjl in

  1. watchtower

  here?s question, we had a talk a few weeks about the "gifts in men," namely the elders.

  they kept on saying how much more superior the congregation is over the elders, the elders in essence work for us and are our servants or slaves.

  nice thought and all but if that?s the case why is there so much secrecy?

  Nice thought and all but if that?s the case why is there so much secrecy? We aren?t we able to get a copy of their handbook?

  Because you are one of the 'sheep'. Shut up and get back in line so you can be fed by the Faithful Discreet Slave. BTW, this is an apostate website. You are prohibited from using the internet by the FDS because you will find out the truth about the JW cult if you continue visiting here.

  counsel from elders

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many have had elder give u this counsel(or if /were an elder given this counsel):

  "its come to our attention that u were(fill in space with anything that is up to your own conscience that is ok in wt world such as pg-13 movie, certain music, or choice of entertainmen).

  this has offended the conscience of others" then proceeds to counsel u to cease and desist so as to appease the other persons conscience.. isn't this a case of the sensitive conscience forcing me to abide their concience even more so than they claim im offending theirs?

  What a screwed up set of values these people have to abide by. I thank God every day for pulling me out of this mind controlling satanic cult.

  Are JW's becoming more mainstream or more reclusive?

  i really dont know but i have read both opinions on this forum.

  many in my fam are in but we never talk about their religion, except when they invite me to some meeting, or the memorial, assembly etc.

  Yep, check out this "script" for the March 22 Awake! (quoted from the March 2005 Kingdom Ministry):

  Many people love the mountains for their beauty, but did you know that they are vital for life on earth?

  [Allow for response]

  This magazine discusses why we need mountains and what is happening to them today. It also mentions how the Creator will save this important resource.

  Undeniable proof the dubs are becoming more mainstream and the borg is getting reclusive when they have to script the offer so the booksellers faithful can place more propaganda.

  having a pulse and not missing meetings?

  my grandfather is an ms and i know for a fact that he is not the picture perfect jw.

  he doesnt do anything wrong but he is no bastion of spirituality either.

  Is this the same approach used by the Pharisees?

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  john wrote that many put faith in jesus, but because of being afraid of getting expelled from the synagogue, they wouldn't confess him.. john 12: 42. it was a powerful weapon back then, and it's still used today.

  even when some want to stop being a witness, they're lumped in with ones who are unrepentant sinners, and expelled from the congregation.. wouldn't the pharisees be proud of many of the things done in the organization today?.

  This is the standard deception employed. To the JW (pharasaical/legalistic) mind, it is inconceivable that anyone could lead a life relatively free of the works of the flesh without the WT.

  Can't add to much more to what's been said by all of you.

  I was talking to a DF'd sister (DF'd because she refused to shun her DF'd daughter) yesterday and she just couldn't believe an apostate had a relationship with Jesus. Then when she was directed to several newspaper articles regarding molestation in the WTBTS she just went bananas and said, "I don't care what they say it is the truth." When she saw the inconsistencies in the Awake Masthead she still refused to believe the truth about the truth. When she got her Kingdom Interlinear and NWT out and saw with her own eyes how the translators had altered the NWT from the original Greek she did have a reaction. She got PO'd at the messenger and shut down mentally. What makes the hold so strong on these people? Is it because they want to believe they can't have a relationship with Jesus or is it that they can't put faith in something unseen? Whatever it is Satan sure has instructed the GB and JW B.O.E. how to keep the rank and file from Christ.

  April 1st Question From Readers Justifies "Bribery" and "Tipping"At Times!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't have the magazine but i read it at my mother's yesterday.

  the gist of the article is that some christian's consciences might allow them to give a "gift" or payment to an official to speed up some paperwork or get them to look at something that they might otherwise ignore because they weren't "tipped"!

  .......i wonder if this has anything to do with the dumbo thing going on in brooklyn (crooklyn).....

  I wonder if the role was reversed and an official actually was a JW......Would he be allowed to take a "tip"???

  Only if he was an elder and made 'significant' donations to the WTBTS on a regular basis.

  What a Bunch of Hypocrites

  It was surreal. Your impressions of the "Monthly Awake!" service meeting?

  by ezekiel3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at our service meeting the conductor of "more emphasis on the bible!

  " (the march kingdom ministry article discussing the monthly awake!

  ) routinely asked the questions, comments were read from the paragraph and there was a rediculous emphasis on the scriptures cited, even to the point that wt references were given that had nothing to do with the subject.

  I got that part tomorrow, any suggestions on some sly things to say?

  I would save the sly things for the public talk you interject the truth about the truth when you annonce that you ain't gonna take the WT shyte anymore
