  Watchtower Magazine - Statement of Purpose

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "the purpose of this magazine, the watchtower, is to honor jehovah god, the supreme ruler of the universe.

  just as watchtowers in ancient times enabled a person to observe developments from afar, so this magazine shows us the significance of world events in the light of bible prophecies.

  it comforts people with the good news that gods kingdom, which is a real government in heaven, will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the earth into a paradise.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the awake!

  january 1 1989 contains the quote on page 12 "he was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.

  " this was later changed in the bound volume and on the cd library to "in our day.".

  Great thread, you guys! I never knew there were so many changes from hard copy to digital. Shame on them...when a publishing house can change copyright material to fit their dates, they truly lose credibility. 😞

  It is absolutely amazing how the members hold to 607 with the plethora of factual information showing otherwise...it is simply astonishing. 

  How long did they think the date was 606? Then they realized the 0 year existed? ...please. 😔

  HOW EXACTLY does god communicate with or direct the GB?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".

  in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".

  so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?

  C'mon fellas...we all know they vote on 'new lights' and if 2/3 of them think it's good, then it is solidly from God! 😉

  Very sad there is no transparency when it comes to their decision making.  I mean, if the apostles saw fit to write their deliberations over the doctrine of circumcision, then why aren't GB meetings recorded in the same detail...Surely, they decide on far lesser issues. 

  Look how they press on with Warwick, despite being uncertain on Jehovah's will for the project. Great use of donated monies, no?

  Lesson to Watchtower, their predictions -- weather forecasters apologize

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reference the link below to the national weather service in apologizing for falsely predicting the severity of a series of storms.

  i wonder if watchtower society will ever apologize for any of their countless false predictions.

  ********"the northeast was supposed to have been crushed by a much-hyped winter storm today, but it failed to deliver that widespread blow.

  Can you imagine how people on the east coast would have felt if the weatheman above had blamed the public instead? To top it off, he does not even make the predictions in God's name...

  When will the WT apologize? I wouldn't hold your breath...😔

  Are the WT following Jewish practices toward ex-believers?

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on the book of hebrews, the believer's bible commentary says regarding those who leave the jewish faith:.

  "now when a jew left the faith of his forefathers, he was looked on as a turncoat and an apostate (meshummed), and was often punished with one or more of the following:.

  disheritance by his family.

  You are likely correct Wonderment. Very un-Christlike display is shown by the witnesses. When you think about it, JC never had a record of shunning anyone. In fact(something foreign to witnesses), JC did just the opposite...eating with those who had strayed. I believe this gave those lowly ones strength to turn around. 

  I am sure their absence of empathy from the witnesses and disdain for those who leave comes from a lack of accurate knowledge. They believe and buy the myths that have been delivered in the publications and from the platform. 

  Perhaps the Lord's example should be the overriding example, rather than cling to Paul's admission in Corinthians?

  If the GB were really interested in the preaching work.....

  by pontoon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ......they should be out there where the "need is great" spearheading the work.

  remember now, the preaching work belongs to the annointed, other sheep are just helpers.

  the gb especially should be out there doing it.

  They don't pioneer on their holidays, but 'encourage' everyone under them to do so. Matthew 23:4 comes to mind...

  The contempt of Anthony Morris: the face doesn't lie.

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.

  i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.

  there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.

  I completely agree. He shows his arrogance and feeling of superiority with this lip movement. He is incapable of preventing this. 

  He does the same thing when he speaks of tight pants to an audience. 

  After inferring that the fashion industry is run by no one but homosexuals, he poses a leader question of "Don't you know they love it when you wear tight pants?"

  The audience will instinctively laugh or chuckle and then he retorts with an air of dominance with "You might think its funny...I think it's disgusting!" It is there you notice this lip sneer. Perhaps Tony has some skeletons in his closet on this subject? 

  Anyone else feel he looks down on the 'common man' when he does this? Sad the control they have. 😔
