  Disgusting comment re: education from Tacoma 2007 District Convention

  by Justitia Themis in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is from saturday afternoon program.

  the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

  ; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

  That makes me P.U.K.E.
  
  Actually, there is a positive side to speakers making disgraceful comments like that: they serve to alienate young ones and their families who are ignoring the Society's pathetic bleatings about higher education.
  
  The comment also highlights how cold, judgmental and unloving the organisation really is. The emotional force motivating JW's is more about fear of Armageddon than genuine love of Christ or neighbour.

  Why I Loved the 2007 Convention "Follow the Christ"!

  by V in

  2. experiences

  i attended friday's part of the 2007 district convention "follow the christ" with my believing wife.

  we survived the limited parking and crowded seating (although large sections of the auditorium had been shut off).

  we suffered the monotonous program delivered by robotic speakers reading rehashed outlines.. so why did i love this convention?.

  It's ironic that a JW would find a Convention where the theme is Jesus to be the most unbearable.

  The most disturbing thing is the disgusting caption on the top of that picture:
  
  "Jesus Christ, God's chosen king, will DESTROY THE WORLD at Armageddon"
  
  This is the 'good news' that JW's preach!!
  
  Compare John 3:16,17. "...For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be SAVED through him."
  
  I LOVE YOU, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!
  
  Hitler had a genocidal 'final solution' and so does the Watchtower Jesus. At least Hitler didn't pretend to love the Jews.

  How does GB keep the control not sitting in the board of the Inc.?

  Control of the organisation is not really in the hands of a few men. It went way beyond that decades ago. The GB, the committees, the branches, DO's, CO's, elders, publishers, etc, etc, all cooperate together to create a huge, conceptual EMERGENT PROPERTY that is much bigger than all the constituent parts. This is the real thing that keeps the organisation ticking over. Quite exactly what this emergent property is I'm not too sure of but it has something to do with their belief they alone are 'the truth'.

  Why isn' the name "Jehovah" used?

  by MichaelM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it because many believe that jesus christ / god / holy spirit are all one being, and after jesus christ was born they stopped using god's name and put all focus on jesus?

  A lot of it is because other churches use bibles that have removed the name from the OT. Whenever they read LORD in the OT they think it means Lord Jesus. This has a big part to play in the easy acceptance of the trinity, unfortunately.
  
  The Watchtower are guilty of inserting Jehovah in the NT where it perhaps shouldn't be but the other bible translators are worse for leaving the name out of the OT altogether!

  there was yet another disfellowshipping going in my congo announce the other night.

  that makes 6 i believe now, 5 i'm sure of that have been dfed in the past year or so in my congo alone, and they don't seem to be making any effort towards reinstatement.

  i know the reasons behind all those, that's why i know they were dfed and not daed.

  You are absolutely right that the organisation is not geared to help the weak, only to judge and 'fire' them like a ruthless business manager. You may get two or three warnings (put on reproof if you grovel to the elders at your JC) but 3 strikes and yer out! No matter how repentant you are for your weakness, you WILL be expelled if you do it a third time (can't be repentant if you keep doing it the elders will tell you).
