  How do you reconcile the dishonest and deceitful practice of misquotes and taking quotes out of context that the society resorts to?

  List of Prominent JW Urban Legends...

  by Tuesday in

  hey folks,.

  i'm wondering if you all could help me with my next video that i want to put up in the next couple of days (though i'm hoping for tonight), i want to come up with a list of the most prominent urban legends surrounding jws and then refute them whatever they may be.. i'm thinking there's the urban legend about the question on jeopardy that said the nwt was the most accurate would be a good one.

  that one stems from an online powerpoint presentation named theological jeopardy and a book which was written comparing six different translations of the bible.

  She turns and finds her husband's body slashed in slices. The police, after analyzing the body, said the cuts were so precise and perfect that couldn't have been done by a human hand

  Gruesome! JWs love their gruesome tales as long as it's seen visually in a movie... lol

  Reliable source - new round of US Bethel layoffs coming soon

  by sir82 in

  was talking to an ex-bethelite who is still very well-connected to those in the ivory tower.. he says that there will soon be a(nother) large number of us bethelites who will be "reassigned to the field" as pioneers and special pioneers.. he did not give his source, but he is pretty reliable.

  incidentally, he was "reassigned to the field" in the last big purge about 7 years ago.. i imagine those so reassigned would be pretty teed off.

  let go just before the golden lakeshore palace was completed..

  They also need some to head up the LDC groups that they are creating. My understanding is that they will have full-time servants working in each LDC.

  so there was announcements last night that the set amount of donation was going to be raised.

  Our congregation gives very little (poor ASL congregation). The local needs talk was about giving. He spent 90% of the talk discussing about giving of ourselves to help others in the hall, but finally got around to giving more to the congregation as our contributions have been shy of our expenses for almost a year now.

  Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

  organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

  and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

  I think the reason why GB 2.0 seems so stupid compared to the prior GB is that the prior members of the GB were brought up in an organization that gave some leeway to those in the organization to form their own opinions and discuss them. Those that joined JWs after disfellowshipping and other changes were instituted that restricted free thinking have been severely mentally handicapped. We're seeing the result of this now.

  GB 2.0 is not college educated and has not been able to freely discuss doctrine nor think for themselves their entire JW life. This obviously has a profound effect on their mental capacity. I know that since waking up I have also noticed how my thinking ability was handicapped and not just in all things JW.

  SimonSays-
  Instead of putting trust in the one being that took them out of bondage, they thanked him by worshipping other Gods.

  Do you want to know what killed my trust in the organization? The repeated misquotes and quotes taken out of context in order to support their doctrine. I trusted every article that they wrote. I trusted every quote as showing that others too supported our position and didn't bother to look up the quotes. Why should I? This is Jehovah's organization. They wouldn't lie or be deceptive.

  It was only once I was helping someone else study to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses and he looked up the quotes and brought them to my attention that I started looking up other quotes in the same book and in other publications. It's clear once you research the society's own publications using just their publications and the original sources they quote from that, instead of being freed from bondage, we have been held captive by a corrupt organization. Say what you will about Ray Franz and others, but after I realized I had been deceived I couldn't fathom why and how these men that were supposed to be shepherds could do such a thing. Ray's book shined a light on the inner-workings of the organization that the R&F don't get to see. I now feel sorry for those that are still being held captive, including the GB who believe that they are God's sole channel.

  I've heard this "final push" message as well as rumors from other JWs. I don't remember whether I was awake or not when I heard it, but I do remember rolling my eyes.

  Comparing JWs to Jews

  by CalebInFloroda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some have asked how my views and convictions have changed over the past 15 years or so after leaving the watchtower behind to return to my familys roots and embrace judaism.

  the best way to explain things is to allow both the religion of the watchtower and my life as a jew today to stand side-by-side for comparison.

  while i cant guarantee this will help prove to others that the jehovahs witnesses are truly a crazy religious group, i am sure it will prove to most that jews probably are, and are quite aware of it.

  Will not be voting for Jeb Bush in the next U.S. presidential election because last time we Jews took directions from a bush we ended up wandering in the wilderness for 40 years.

  I would have literally LOL'd at this if my wife wasn't sitting on the couch next to me.

  millie210an hour ago-

  Speak to mature brothers about it?
  What does that imply? Are they trying to say elders? Why not a mature sister?

  Of course they mean elders. That way if they cannot mislead you into completely believing all the BS then they can "mark" you and even convene a JC if necessary.

  Can't have doubters talking to other sisters who have no power and may be misled/deceived as Eve was. *dripping sarcasm*

  Eternal life through brain transplant into an android body only a matter of time. Religion no longer needed.

  by fukitol in

  humanity doesn't need to continue believing in hocus pocus pie in the sky religious hogwash and pipe dreams to have hope of everlasting life.

  nor is it necessary to find the fountain of youth or turn off the aging process.. it's only a matter of time until science achieves it.

  maybe not decades away, maybe not even centuries, but eventually..... ....mankind will achieve eternal life through a transplant of the human brain into a future highly advanced robotic body.. already the scientific fundmentals for it exist.

  In Age of Adeline, the secret to turning off aging was found in 2035. Only 20 more years! :-)
