  PROTESTS AT WATCHTOWER CONVENTIONS

  by Lawrence Hughes in

  dear friends,.

  as you may know, the watchtower society takes great pride in its district conventions.

  please contact me if you can attend any of these protests.. there is no reason why every district convention in the world could not have a protest and receive media coverage to expose the watchtower society.

  The Governing Body has NEVER claimed to be inspired…

  by Alfred in

  there was a recent thread here which covered the subject of the gb claiming to be spirit directed (and not actually inspired by the holy spirit).

  by now, most of us are quite aware that this is just a play with words to excuse themselves whenever one of their false doctrines is debunked (by someone using the bible or their own publications).

  but when you think of it, spirit-directed is actually more presumptuous than spirit-inspired.. that being said, id really like to draw attention to the fact that the wt continuously claims that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has never claimed to be inspired by god (through his holy spirit).

  A spiritually mature person is able to glean the "proper understanding". You sort of have to read between the lines, but it's all there, even in the glow of new light.

  i was on facebook snooping on a former "friend" still stuck in the cult and he recently posted the following:.

  "yeah i was looking at them [kids lighting firecrackers] out my window last night.

  i was thinking, these people are so ignorant.

  It's not their fault. The "Society" has kept them in such a hyper-prepared state (for the end), for so long, that they are having more and more difficulty in making sense of it all. These types of statements are the outward expression of their frustration and humiliation.

  this has already been discussed but i need to vent.. i just spent the most painful weekend of my life sitting thru this years dc.

  what an unbelievably pointless, soulless and demeaning spectacle the assemblies are.

  the three days were a blur of monotanous droning and brainwashing.

  Why doesn't God just take a vote?

  by Terry in

  wouldn't a loud voice from heaven asking for a show of hands pretty much do away with the need for the preaching/evangelizing work?.

  why is this a stupid question?.

  no, seriously!.

  Well, then worship would no longer be based on faith, but on reality. God isn't ready for that. Many more millions have to die. That's the only think I can think of..
