  November Broadcast - truly evil

  by iwasblind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi there i don't watch much of the propaganda on jw.org anymore but i did catch the november broadcast.. i think these guys are either evil or controlled by someone who is incredibly skilled at mind control.. firstly, they establish their authority by saying "everything" else is a lie - you can't trust media or anyone.

  "there is no inspiration today.." but they somehow have the direct connection with god - yuck.. then, they proceed with that disgusting "shunning" drama - but now it is not called shunning, (around 24 mins) the mother said... "if we were to stand between levi and the discipline he needs we would in affect be blocking an expression of jehovah's love from reaching him...".

  i am so angry at this, what a load.

  "if we were to stand between Levi and the discipline he needs we would in affect be blocking an expression of Jehovah's love from reaching him..."

  That would contradict this scripture below I would think:

  Romans 8:38-39New International Version (NIV)

  38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  My gay friend went back to JWs?

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of my best friends was disfellowshipped several years ago, and word quickly got around that it was because he's gay.

  we lost touch after that because of the disfellowshipping, but since i'm out now, i just found him online and got back in touch with him.

  it was a great conversation, but he said he returned to jehovah.

  When I left I was still partially indoctrinated and but still had some reservations about it possibly not being "the truth", however despite that I couldn't stomach the self righteousness and judgementalism and if it was the truth God would just have to destroy me so in my mind I chose death over that cult and friends and relatives who are still in it.

  Gullible much Keyser?

  There is a substantial difference between "Trump supporters" and "a GROUP of Trump supporters".

  I know there are idiots on both sides of the political spectrum but damn...

  by pale.emperor in

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

  JWs always use this scripture to show that we should not put our trust in man made rulership and governments:

  Psalm 146:3,4 “Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation. His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground. On that very day his thoughts perish.”

  However they never mention the part about not putting trust in “a son of man”, which is what Charles Russell, Rutherford, Knorr and the now present collective governing body are. They even use the term “govern”. Below are the synonyms for the word “govern”.

  synonyms:

  rule, preside over, reign over, control, be in charge of, command, lead, dominate

  It seems to me that according to the words in their own bible the concept of a governing body is unscriptural. Like one poster said earlier, there is no true organization only true individuals. If Christians are all "brothers" they are all equal and therefore the is no place for a hierarchial structure of "heavies" like the JWs have.

  DJS,

  You can take my statement for what it's worth. I just call it as I see it. Wasn't trying to be "witty", "creative" or "cruel" and you might want to get to know me more before you make some stupid asinine comment about me hating gays since I happen to be gay myself.

  Obama supporters and the mainstream media uses the term "conspiracy theorists" and "birthers" as buzzwords like the Watchtower Society uses the terms "apostates", which makes sense since both have cult followers.

  Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell is one of my favorite novels. I get something new out of it every time I read it. Very informative in what is going on in the world we live in even though it was published 44 years ago and now out of print. It used to be available in kindle addition but it isn't anymore for some reason. Well worth seeking out.

  Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down

  just take a look at this video.

  i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.

  everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

  OMG is this real? I can't believe they are starting off their presentation showing a child-like animated cartoon on a tablet now out door to door. No interpersonal communication to go into a conversation and then discussion. My things have really changed. It sure was different years ago when I went out with older ones who were in the organization for a long time. They knew their NWT and scriptures when talking to the "householder".
