Types and anti types

by Deltawave in

according the watchtower study of may 10th, it has been made clear no prophetic meaning should be given to a a scripture or passage unless the bible itself gives clear interpretation of it.

therefore daniel 7 especially gives it's fulfillment to nebuchadnezzar only.

no future kingdom or 2520year wait til 1914. no gentile times or "this generation".

Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford

by opusdei1972 in

this is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.

satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.

this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

Sounds like he had a bone to pick with women... I'd bet money he was one of these types that puts on a diaper and gets scolded and humiliated by a dominatrix. Often those types are politicians, judges, lawyers and religious leaders

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies

by zophar in

jw
friends

if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.

remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?

anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

They've made it so convoluted that only those paying attention could figure it out. If they never admitted anything most witnesses would probably not even know anything changed because to be loyal to this crap you need to switch thought to OFF

JW.ORG on Everything

by anonread in

why do they have jw.org on all their social medai like instagram.

were they told to do that?

also wtf is up with all their accounts being private??

freemindfade

Just a handful of years Closer to Fine they trashed ALLLLL social media to no end. In fact at that time, the holier than thous in my family criticized myself and others for having accounts it was a big to do. The Org hasn't said go to social media, but they have completely stopped the campaign AGAINST and so now there is a green light. So all those people who once criticized me for being on social media, are on, and have now shunned me for not putting JW propaganda. I believe the Org is keeping its mouth shut just in case this backfires in anyway, so they can blame the RF, "see remember we told you a long time ago social media was dangerous!!"

But for now its working for them, but also I believe against, there is a lot of thought provoking TTATT out there on social media.

Things did not go well... with every witness there is a cognitive dissonance threshold. Depending on how they view you, they may speak freely about things that bother them, if you cross the threshold they will bury you in their CD. They will never speak a whisper of anything critical to you again. What I am getting at is this:

If they still trust you, and your approach is gentle enough, they may tell you how it really makes them feel (I have feeling way more witnesses are uncomfortable with this than they show)

If they think you've crossed the line, they are gonna tell you that you are crazy and its the best thing since Jesus effing Christ. So to find out their true feelings you need to be careful what, and how you say it. If they catch a whiff of "apostasy" or TTATT, your locked out. FMF

Newton versus Watchtower quackery

by opusdei1972 in

the following is a watchtower's criticism against newton:.

down through the ages, talented scientists have indeed made surprising breakthroughs in their search for answers to puzzling questions about nature.

some, however, have also made serious errors in the process.

freemindfade

Love their double standard, others make errors, witnesses make new-light... out their @$$hole!

At least what Newton did could be built off of in the ever questioning and improving science, unlike religion that says today "NOW we know EVERYTHING... then tomorrow oops, NOW we know EVERYTHING... shucks missed again, engage new light, oh and we weren't wrong just refining the TROOF."

morons

I think it's so distasteful. But I have been outright told people in my family feel like I left th truth ages ago because I don't post pics on social media at the conventions, showing off new releases, etc. They thought I stopped going to meetings and conventions. How insane is that???? I have never posted that crap even when I was being a good R&F.
