Out of context
by Nomorejwguilt ini’m just curious to hear other people’s input on different scriptures or quotes from the society or witnesses that are used out of context.
i’ve always found it funny when a scripture is quoted and applied to whatever point they’re trying to make, but where it was taken from in the bible passage has nothing to do with what they’re getting at..

3 While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
5 Jesus told them, “Watch out that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things must take place, but it is not yet the end. 8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.[a] These are the beginning of birth pains.
The brother begins to explain that Jesus is giving the apostles a composite prophecy/a two-fold prophecy because some events Jesus was talking about was affecting the people in the first century and some other events have a would affect the time period that we're living in today(2018).After 40 years of being a Jehovah's Witness and having this scripture pounded into our brains, the twisting of this scripture really amazes me. Now, I stand back and see many-twisted scriptures taught by the Watchtower Society. Talk about twisting scripture to make it say what you want it to mean.Jesus was only addressing only Peter, James, John, and Andrew...not any other generation or period. Definitely not the year... 2018.Definition of you: the one or ones being addressedDefinition of us: used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people as the object of a verb or preposition:Definition of them: used as the object of a verb or preposition to refer to two or more people or things previously mentioned or easily identified: -

OMFG! What a bunch of gullible saps we were!
David Spane starts his (changing doctrine ) talk...."Our love for Jehovah and for the truth will move us to receive this information gladly and with open hearts."
Mr. Splane talks about ''how hard it is for brothers to keep up with Jehovah's celestial chariot( changing doctrines).'' ''So are the Governing Body. We're not driving the chariot.''
All the gullible saps laugh.
The flip-flops and changing doctrines are not coming from the Governing Body but from Jehovah God.
Here is a scripture that Mr. Splane forgot to read:

Yes..or kicking the can down the road!
If you kick the can down the road, you delay a decision in hopes that the problem or issue will go away or somebody else will make the decision later.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society uses its Governing Body to force Jehovah's Witnesses to accept their flip-flop beliefs and doctrines. Their history of conflicting false teachings and practices have left members in confusion.
In this video, David Splane blames Jehovah God for all the changing doctrines. "Jehovah is driving the chariot."
He goes on to say that the Governing Body has a hard time following the Celestial Chariot just like all its members. The Governing Body always tries making new adjustments just to keep up with Jehovah's ''new light.''
David Slane also had the privilege of explaining the confusing and made-up, '' Overlapping Generation'' teaching. ( and you thought learning Japanese algebra was difficult)

2015 Annual meeting- Herd announcement
They stopped building projects, sending special pioneers back home, special pioneers are demoted to regular pioneers, cutting back on the branches, layoffs at Bethel and will now only print magazines twice a month.
Here is one scripture Samuel Herd didn't quote:
1 Timothy 5:18 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
18 As the Scriptures say, “When a work animal is being used to separate grain, don’t keep it from eating the grain.”[a] And the Scriptures also say, “A worker should be given his pay.”

You Don't Have to Tell the Elders Anything!
by minimus inif you were ever brought before a judicial committee, and were about to be interrogated by the elders, just remember...you owe them nothing.
they are mere men and no better than you!
even if it wasn’t a judicial interrogation , you should never feel obligated to them.

You Don't Have to Tell the Elders Anything!
Twenty years ago I asked my 20-year-old disfellowshipped cousin... Why in the world did you would admit to committing fornication with your girlfriend? Guilty people go to court and plead not guilty. Why would you admit guilt to the Elders when you knew that you would be disfellowshipped or marked? Why not say that you had a girlfriend but was chaste?
My cousin told me that he needed to tell the Elders because his conscience was bothering him.
You dummy!!!!!!!!!.... The Elders would have needed to be in the same room with you and your girlfriend and catch you in the act. It's better to live with a guilty conscience than lose your family.
My cousin was disfellowshipped twenty years ago and to this day is still shunned from his dad, sister, and the rest of the family. He has been told numerous times...Unless you come back to the meetings and get reinstated, we cannot have any contact with you or your wife.

We had that experience, we had to return to our home-country in our fourties
Can you elaborate?
My niece and her husband are ''special pioneers.'' They quit their full-time jobs and moved down to South Carolina. They both work 2-3 days per week and pioneer the rest of the week. They might be next in line if the layoffs continue.

What the Watchtower Society teaches: Watchtower Study October 2018
In the meantime, try to make the best of your situation. Draw close to your heavenly Father through prayer, and learn to leave yourself in his caring hands. In this way, you too will maintain inner peace despite changing circumstances.
