How would the Society give up 1914?

by donny in

during the 1930's when the society was quietly moving jesus' presence from 1874 to 1914, it only seemed to ruffle a few feathers and most accepted this "brighter light.

" how could the society abandon 1914 and still keep most of its followers?

They already did when they disconnected the generation.

They are masters of deception.

They change doctrines, then 20 years later you realize that you don't believe that anymore.

A well qualified doctor and been a JW for many years is a contradiction in terms.

E-Watchman and JW Reform

by insearchoftruth in

i have read some very interesting and thought provoking articles on the subject sites.

having never been a jw, what is the feeling of a 'run of the mill' witness towards these sites sympathetic towards the general doctrines of the wts, but calling for some major reforms?.

uninformed

I've been posting at e-Watchman for two years. He kicked two-thirds of the members off the board 18 months ago for disagreeing with the Watchtower's version of the New Covenant, where the "anointed" are the mediators for the "Great Crowd" rather than Jesus. The other issue involved was whether or not the Watchtower was the "God's visible organization" and "sole channel of communication" between Jehovah and mankind.

He doesn't care what the members believe, as long as they don't post anything contrary to the forum guidelines, which is that no one is allowed to undermine the core doctrines, or make references to the Watchtower being part of "Babylon the Great". Personally I don't agree with most of what he espouses but I think he has a few things right, and his board does serve a useful purpose, in my opinion. It allows a JW to learn just enough of the "truth about the truth" without having an immediate stroke, heart attack, or aneurism, which is what would happen to a lot of dubs if they were suddenly exposed to the works of somebody like Fritz Springmeier.

I agree totally with what you wrote, Prodigal Son. I was one of the ones thrown out of the forum

one thing that always got me upset -- .

sisters wearing pantyhose all year round?

brothers or sisters frowned upon for wearing snowpants whilst going outside in snowstorms or incidences of high snow (quite often in the mountains of pa) .

What kind of FALSE PROPHET is Jehovah's official mouthpiece?

by Terry in

the false prophet is not like the mistaken scientist or misguided philosopher---just a person in error.. the false prophet is either a deceiving imposter or a self-deceived victim of his own pathology.. any who would identify themselves as "prophet" is laying claim to a special agency of communication beyond the powers of mere mortal man.

what credentials must such a person obtain?

what makes them special above all others.

uninformed

Really good reasoning in your post terry.

I copied it and saved it.

I was talking with a former JW today about the WT being a false prophet. Either what they say comes true and they are a true prophet or it does not and they are a false prophet.

Take care,

Great trip.

Your pics are awsome.

I camped twice in Yosemite, once in 1956 then in about 81. Got to swim in the Merced River on the way in and out.

It is a beautiful place, thanks for sharing.

some of us actually LIVED through the late 60's and early 70's.

The WT and ALL of its minions were spouting, "only 90 more months".......and so on. The Kingdom Ministry had a monthly countdown.

You guys that don't believe this, pull your heads out and get a breath of fresh air.

The WT is a FALSE PROPHET.

In addition to being a lying shithole organization.

Solace you wrote: (in red)

"Dubs are hypocrites, every last one of them. Why? They demand that others 'examine their religion', while they patently refuse to do so, even in the face of FACTS.

You are wasting your time loving Dubs. It is a hateful bunch. "

you are the only one that is hateful - and generalizing. I am not a witness anymore, but i had nothing against examining ANYTHING, and many i know did the same.

You really need to let go.

You obviously were not part of the same religion that I was for 45 years.

Shunning is hateful. Your comment is personal and hateful too. Why don't you try to find your way back among fellow haters?

PS, this board is a good place for JW's to come to be on their journey out of the organization, but trying to convince them that the org of JW is a sweet and nice place to be flies in the face of reason.
