  so brohter (not elder or anything but many years active) had to give talk this week.

  talk related to how jehovah gives abilities to people thru the spirit.

  started off with the mention of how god told moises to build the tent and gave people the abilities to work wood, stone, etc.

  I love the way witnesses just make up "facts" all the time. "truth" "facts" these don't have to be really true or based on evidence!... Ive heard so much stupid shit from the stage and comments at the watchtower this is whey they don't want talks recorded and so on.

  This is why almost every witness in every hall (in most of Merica') get involved in snake oil, mlm, pyramid scheme nonsense. They both attract the same chumps

  do you think any members of the governing body visit this site-jwn regularly?.

  how about the heavies in the organization, like the writers, lawyers, and other who work at headquarters?.

  for all we know john aquila could be a member of the gb..

  I believe they have some kind of intelligence program, what it is, not sure. I highly doubt the GB visit, I think they do their best to stay in fantasy land.

  The Truth vs Theories

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a thought today, would so many people sign the witness version of the billion year contract if instead of calling everything (even the religion) "the truth", they were more like science and called it "theories".

  it's funny because "the truth" changes all the time, where as really the truth does not.

  in science you say something is a theory it can change and become more accurate (new light), .

  Maybe the WTBTS wouldn't look so stupid about changing their doctrine if they called it THEORIES, but then, I imagine not as many people would sign on the dotted line with their baptism if it wasn't touted as "THE TRUTH"

  THIS IS WHAT WITNESSING HAS BEEN REDUCED TO IN 2015

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower

  threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.

  whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.

  neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.

  New Watchtower-- the End is coming in our lifetime again now??

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!

  " article says this:.

  "so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".

  People like my poor mom will read this exactly this way...and these ass-clowns know it!

  "The end IS coming you YOUR (mom) lifetime, guaranteed!"

  When really it doesn't say this at all, doesn't say who's lifetime (sort of like their financial report from the may broadcast, lacking factual details), and it uses written gymnastics to say it without really saying it, just in case. But they know how it's interpreted.

  He was a Roman invention and part of a propaganda campaign by the Roman elite to chill out the Jews looking for their Messiah. Think about some of the things he promoted, "turn the other cheek", "PAY CAESARS THINGS TO CEASAR" ie pay your taxes.

  He was almost certainly 100% made up

  And while some people dispute this "conspiracy" which is actually harder to believe? that or that God knocked up a Jewish virgin, she has a son who finds his super powers around 30, creates a massive stir in the Roman empire and amongst the Jews there with almost no source to confirm it outside some stories written 100 years later with no origins to be found he is killed, comes back to life, leaves to heaven, says he's coming back and doesn't. yes that sounds much more viable.

  It's because the reality is no witness has ever enjoyed talking to people about religion anymore than the people liked hearing about it. They just like hours to sooth fear obligation and guilt. Now they cam waste their life just wracking them up standing around
