  Gross hypocrisy in September 15, 2015 Watchtower

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ask any jw the question "why do jehovah's witnesses impose their views on others?

  we do not impose our views on anyone!".

  do you impose your views on others?

  Good point.

  On another note, this article is going to stumble a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses. I know many that are in these pyramid schemes, including some that make a very wealthy living off them.

  "And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

  i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

  i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

  so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

  stuckinarut2 I attended one of the days. Interesting and emotional for me to see O'Brien and Toole, as I have quite a history with them. I have to say they both looked shattered, which made me grateful for how well my life has progressed since leaving.

  I will try to attend if Jackson is there. Would love to say hi, and shake his hand. It will probably be difficult to get in though, as I am sure there will be a large group of admirers wanting to see him.

  Thanks guys. I was very impressed by the people at The Drum and also how thorough they were with fact checking.

  I'm not convinced Jackson will turn up but certainly hope he does. I'd love to say hi.

  Billy's comments to the RC #1 - "We always require at least two witnesses... except for when we don't."

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  i'm still trying to catch up on the rc broadcast posted to youtube, and i haven't been able to keep up with everything discussed here about it.

  however, there have been a few points that i wish i could submit.

  repeatedly it has been stated that unless there is a confession, jcs can only act on testimony if it is corroborated by two or more witnesses to the wrongdoing.

  Billy, that is a great point, and very relevant to the case. The RC has already established Watchtower twists scriptures to their own convenience and are looking for such examples that are particularly pertinent.

  Theocratic Warfare

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.

  they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".

  i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!

  Thanks for the correction Splash.

  Alive! - Toole said he was not aware of the term, because the quote they used was prior to his baptism. Even if he could not remember hearing of it, he would have understood what it meant and linked it to spiritual warfare. I don't know why they kept playing dumb when by then they knew Stewart was not going to be fooled, as he had done his research.

  Requested to have all the shepherding concerns in writing.

  i have not turned in a single field service report this year.

  i decided not to, after noticing the simple flaw in the calculation of 1914. the implications are huge, i.e the appointment of the fds is a fraud.

  i some days ago informed them of the private watchtower documents that are in my possession courtesy of the royal commission.

  Really impressive. I like that you used Scriptural precedence for your request, as they look foolish refusing to follow Bible procedure.

  how the things are going with my sister

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this morning i phoned my sister so as to know how the things are going with her problem with the congregation.

  if i remember well, five weeks ago, my sister was asked by the elders (in the street) to attend a judicial meeting for apostasy.

  my sister told them that she firstly needs a formal letter specifying who is accusing her.

  They won't allow a lawyer. They will likely df her in her absence.

  Justice McClellan was annoyed by not being made aware of the authority of Jackson as a GB top dog. Material needed if any one here could ..

  hello again.. splash had a pile of scriptural evidence which he uploaded and it was good material.

  it established the gb as the fds and used watchtower study articles.........i don't know if he was the only one but the material flew in the face of what those men have been saying.

  it proves, using their own material how they indeed think they are the ones with the direct control over millions of lives, because as you know.........they are the direct hot line to god.

  There are two articles that will help them for quotes. jwfacts.com/watchtower/governing-body.php and jwfacts.com/watchtower/faithful-discreet-slave.php. These show that the GB structure is not supported by Scripture, and also the huge power that they hold over JWs.

  Directed by holy spirit includes quotes that they claim supernatural guidance in formulating doctrine.
