How Come the Watchtower does not admit "We Don't Know Anything About Bible Prophecy" and come clean?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

so many of us have been caught up in the negative effects this religion placed over our lives and those who we love very much.

i am the first one to tell my kids "i don't know s&^^ about this or that subject", if the watchtower is truly our brother or spiritual mother why don't they tell us the following questions we all have asked them?.

1. we screwed up about 1914 and "life is short, go live your life to the fullest while maintaining justice and morality, don't hurt your fellow man by making his life screwed up!.

So many of us have been caught up in the negative effects this religion placed over our lives and those who we love very much. I am the first one to tell my kids "I don't know s&^^ about this or that subject", if the Watchtower is truly our brother or Spiritual Mother why don't they tell us the following questions we all have asked them?

1. We screwed up about 1914 and "life is short, go live your life to the fullest while maintaining justice and morality, don't hurt your fellow man by making his life screwed up!

2. To everyone who believed we knew Bible Prophecy, were so sorry we were just following orders like you!

3. "We don't have insight from the Holy Spirit, it's been 2,000 years since Jesus Christ as here and if we catch anything that looks like Bible worthy news we will call you!

4. Our selfish nature towards those suffering injustice is going to chance, from now on our goals will align with what charities do, they help people instead of restriction of their minds and lives!

Please tell me why they don't tell us the truth, I know each any everyone here has suffered from this evil step mother's arrogance but why can't they stop lying?

We all look forward to your thoughtful insights about a matter that's troubling so many of us survivors who refuse to allow the Watchtower to control our life any further and stand up to their deception!

Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

it's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.

in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.

you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

Smiddy the Bloods and Cripps (The two major Black Gangs in the United States) said they were going to send in gang members from various cities to assist the inciters of the riots to attack or even kill police officers. I hate when CNN goes in and interviews men who can't express themselves intelligently giving the people a bad name as a whole. Walking around with signs "F' the Police" CNN made sure you know what that sign said, CNN has some guy walk up and use the F-F-F-F-F_F_FF_ , how do you write what this fool said on National TV? It's a excuse for bad people to steal things that don't belong to them, bullies taking advantage of the only businesses willing to service a area most Big Businesses are afraid to move towards because they fear Mobs will pilfer them! I feel bad we are moving backwards with police and race relations, some reporters love the people going crazy!

Conventions, Kingdom Halls, Relief Funds, and Other Financial Scams and Schemes of Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Watchtower-Free in

a few seconds ago this hit the net todayhttp://jwvictims.org/conventions-kingdom-halls-relief-funds-and-other-financial-scams-and-schemes-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.

conventions, kingdom halls, relief funds, and other financial scams and schemes of jehovahs witnesses.

jehovahs witnesses often note that at their meetings (like church services), they dont pass a collection plate.

PokerPlayerPhil

They can't make this claim anymore because everyone in the Kingdom Hall had a plate passed around asking them to write a dollar amount their family could donate towards the World Wide Work. I thought the Watchtower's claim of "No Collection Plate Passed Around" was debunked, right?

I think it's like a fire that needs to be put out, the hatred and racism is getting worse. The police are on a roll with making bad choices, why did they need to chase that man down and how did he get killed? Killing innocent people and burning your neighborhood business and services down wont make things better, is this a sign were going backwards with Civil Rights?

TROLLEY WITNESSING BECOMING A ROUSING SUCESSS!

by nowwhat? in

from last weeks meeting.

"we are now going to talk about experiences from trolley witnesssing" .

this is the honest to god response.

Brother Armstrong started those Carts (circa 1982?) without the man power and probably had more success than Mute Publishers sitting on a chair texting their buddy "Hey, it's me again, I'am doing missionary work today, are you in field service too?"

The Plain Truth had better looking magazines than our rags, it's strange they put more money in their art and quality of print than this religion that claims to spare no expense when it comes to sharing the Governing Body's Message of Hope!

"Your bad attitude is evident, because you don't bring a meeting bag to the meetings anymore!"

by stuckinarut2 in

yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.

"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".

i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".

PokerPlayerPhil

He's one of the reasons I stopped attending the Meeting, it's their anti-Christ practices causing good people like you to mentally make haste and leave this Fear Mongering Mind Control religion!

They ragged on Ministerial Servants that carried a suitcase to Meeting because this guy wanted to look smart. He brought the "Insight Books", three Bibles and everything a JW could bring to make himself look brilliant, go figure!

CO says "WE ARE NOW AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE THE GREAT TRIBULATION!"

by nowwhat? in

40-50 years after saying "armegeddon is right around the corner" we are now making progress!!!.

gotta have a sense of humor to deal with this stuff..

PokerPlayerPhil

I heard the same trash back in 1974, not one of my favorite periods of my life because the Watchtower's inciting to fear and terror caused not only me but many of my friends many nightmares normal children should not have to experience!

The parable of a king who forgives a slaves debt

by Splash in

in the streamed program from bethel uk this weekend, mark sanderson relates the parable from mt 18:23-35 where a master forgives the huge debt of a slave, but when the slave refuses to forgive a small debt owed to himself, the master throws that slave into prison.. look at the details of this parable.. the master is owed 10,000 talents.

this is 10's of millions of dollars, completely unpayable.

this represents our sin which we cannot pay for.. the slave begs for more time, so the master "lets the slave off and cancelled his debt" (vs 27).

PokerPlayerPhil

Was that point driven home by the Watchtower that the "evil slave" had the right to "choke and torment his fellow slave" that caused his fellow slaves "to cry out and run to the King because they were appalled by the slave's wickedness, inhumanity no mercy after shown infinite mercy?

The King had absolute authority unless he were serving another nation, still all his subjects had to obey and this King had the right to recall his debt if he chose!. I can't believe the Watchtower turned a one of the most beautiful illustrations about grace in to a Pharisaical one of counting one's own rights after being saved from certain slavery with his entire family.

How easy to understand, Jesus using a number so large 10,000 Talents "Gazillion Dollars" versus the Slave who owned 100 days wages! Why would the Watchtower consider the needs of some good-for-nothing, cruel and evil slave that had his fellow slave's wife and children sold in to slavery?

Has the Watchtower gone nuts taking what most religious leaders consider one of the most wonderful stories of compassion and forgiveness to personal selfishness, how disgusting and boy are they missing the points of Jesus illustrations once again!

We can get really technical about the Middle Eastern's king and queens rights to cancel and put debt(taxes) to each person. Apparently the King of this story had authority to punish a wicked slave that did not merit debt-forgiveness.
