  Heavenly Gates Closed in 1935… Re-opened in 2007

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since 1935, the watchtower had been categorically teaching (for over 6 decades) that the heavenly calling of the 144,000 anointed christians had ceased in 1935. this teaching was especially significant to older jws (especially those who spent much of their lives serving the watchtower as pioneers, elders, missionaries, bethelites, etc.

  ) because many of these would eventually turn their attention to the aging governing body members and feel a sense of relief knowing that the end was drawing ever so near.

  in other words, as more governing body members (who were born before 1935) passed away, the closer they would get to their long-awaited reward of surviving armageddon and living on paradise earth where they would finally hug grass-eating lions near a waterfall while marveling at snow-peaked mountains in the distance.

  Here is the funeral talk outline. VERY discraceful.

  this is truly terrible.

  i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.

  " in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.

  It just goes to show how little the organisation genuinely cares for people. The outline states: "Doctrinal points can be presented as beliefs of the deceased."

  In other words; the Organisation will exploit whatever situation it can in order to push its sales message. It only cares about itself and any seeming appearance of love is feigned in order to achieve it's own agenda.

  Watchtower STUDY EDITION - Vehicle for Vitriol and REALLY crazy statements?

  by punkofnice in

  2. bible

  is it me or do i notice that all the weird and hateful cultish statements are now appearing in the 'study edition' washtowels?.

  anointed are nuts - august 15, 2011 watchtower (the study edition) pg 22 qfr: memorial partakers.

  The watchtower study edition is the organisation's primary brain-washing tool. So, of course, the language and phrasing used will be whatever they deem necessary in order to achieve their manipulatory ends.

  So yes the study edition will noticably have language that appears more vitriolic and crazier to what is normally included in literature designed for public consumption. Note: the brain-washing / predatory reasoning in the organisations public literature is very subtle so it doesn't come across as harsh and as crazy at first glance, but it's still there.

  Could The Watchtower and Awake Collapse?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is not a prophesy, folks, but rather a train of thought to pursue about the organization, especially in light of its recent legal problems.. could the magazines collapse?

  the watchtower is published in 188 languages?

  and the awake a rather huge number as well?.

  Just as JW's of today are mostly unrecognizable from the Bible students of 100 years ago, the Watch Tower religion and cult will probably still be around in 100 yrs time although it will also be vastly different from the Watch Tower religion and cult of today.

  Hi Possible,

  Thanks for posting Find the Way. It's a great song. Unfortunately I don't post much here at all but if I had seen your other posts I probably would have spoken up sooner :-)

  Is the GB Bloodguilty?

  by LostGeneration in

  2. friends

  no not about the blood issue, though i would say yes to that.. what i'm talking about is in regard to the preaching work.

  i recently commented on a thread that i thought field service was an inconvenient necessity when you are a witness.

  many active ones probably feel the same way today, as it is their ticket to paradise earth.
